K's Corner Contest #2: IATTAR Builders unite.

 

IATTAR (Interplanetary Association of Tracked & Thrust Assisted Racing) is a fan-made theme created by the amazing nnenn. The theme involves building tanks that race against each other in various environments.

 

This time: Build an IATTAR Racer MOC that follows all the IATTAR guidelines (Posted below) to compete in the IATTAR races. You can enter up to four racers, but they must all be in one entry picture.

 

 

Got it? Good. Go build!

 

Entries will be accepted from when this entry was posted until the deadline. The deadline is currently January 31st at 11:59 PM Central time.

 

To enter, post a comment with you picture in this entry. Make it look like this:

 

Entry Name:

Entry Pic:

Gallery:

Topic (If made):

 

There may or may not be an entry list.

IATTAR Guidelines: Your MOC must follow all of these and the K's Corner rules:

 

1. Tracks only. No wheels/skis/rails/hoverpads/balls/etc.

2. Thrusters, boosters, or rockets permissible (thanks to the DFA!)

3. Fins, wings, or spoilers (for those low-G, big-air moments.)

4. Enclosed cockpit for harsh atmosphere/environment protection.

5. Lamps/headlights: most league circuits are not self-illuminated.

6. No weapons... go to the outer rim for that nonsense.

7. And due to SST regulations, no more than 4 team vehicles per race.

Rules:

 

1) Painted parts are NOT ALLOWED. No non-LEGO parts. All other LEGO parts are fair game; however, for the most part, they should have Bionicle pieces and Technic pieces. There is no specific ratio, though. Pictures in which the appearance of the MOC has been edited in Photoshop or other editing software are prohibited. If either method is used, the MOC will be disqualified. The background may be edited, as long as it does not alter the appearance of the MOC.

2) Your entry may not have been posted on BZPower previously.

 

3) Any flaming will result in disqualification from the contest. Competition is good if you keep it clean. Everyone play fair, NO WHINING, no insults. I reserve the right to DQ any entry at any time for any reason.

 

4) Absolutely, positively NO CHEATING! Anyone found to be cheating or even suspected of cheating will face immediate disqualification from this contest and will possibly be banned from participating in future K's Corner Contests.

 

5) No "this is unfair" posting. Some people have more parts, money, time, etc... than others. That's life; we each have to do our best with what we have. Any excessive complaining may, at the judgment of Lakazorz, disqualify you!

 

6) Discussion is encouraged in the main entry. It's open for all questions and comments.

 

7) The contest is open to all BZPers, and so is voting. Advertising your MOC is fine by making a signature or avatar reminding people to vote for you, but mass-PMing will lead to immediate disqualification. So will advertising your MOC in someone else's thread.

 

 

SIGNATURE RULES!

**ONE pic allowed

**Pic may only be 250x100 pixels or 468x60 pixels or smaller

**Text may not exceed 5 lines

Anyone breaking the signature rules will lose 1 vote in the Preliminary Polls.

 

 

Prizes:

Haha, yeah right. If someone would like to donate something, I'd be much obliged.

 

Contest Host:

Lakazorz

 

Contest Assistant(s):

Mr. Cat

 

Questions that may arise:

 

Q. What is the System/Technic ratio?

A. There is no required System/Technic ratio this time around. All I ask is that you have a little of each.

 

Q. Can my entry have been posted on BZP before?

A. No.

 

Q. How many racers can I enter?

A. Up to four racers in one entry picture.

 

Q. Do I have to follow all the guidelines for the racers?

A. Yes, you have to follow all of the guidelines and my rules.

 

Q. What is IATTAR?

A. IATTAR (Interplanetary Association of Tracked & Thrust Assisted Racing) is a fan-made theme created by the amazing nnenn.

 

Get to work!

nnenn is from the kingdom of awesome.

 

Anyway, I don't think I'll be able to enter. =/

 

All those wonderful sales at Wal Mart... must get Axalara and Mazeka... can't get treads... sad but true. =\

 

BtB

 

Look around for sets with treads and are cheap. Maybe you can find an on-sale crystal reaper?

I'd rather just buy treads seperate. I can get a hundred links + ten sprockets for $19, and that's with shipping. From Lego.

 

I just don't know if that's what I want to do.

 

BtB

 

But the crystal reaper comes with a buncha delicous orange parts...

 

Then again, why am I trying to convince you to enter? 'Cause I know that whatever you make will own what I made.

True, true. I really like that set for the most part. Some of it is morally disgusting, however. :P

 

The problem is finding it for a decent price... as in, on sale.

 

BtB

 

lowut

Link. The alien.

 

You also asked for the place to buy treads for cheap by PM, and since the site is owned by lego and doesn't have forums or w/e I can link to it.

Would we be able to have wheels with no tyres with treads over them?

I do believe that's how most people get tracks to work, so yeah.

I wonder what would happen if pressure was exerted on the upper tread...? awesome.gif

 

BtB

Nothing would happen. See: helmet.

 

Also I recently lowered the seat a bit but since I already entered that version and took it apart w/e.

Also, what if the thing flipped over?

Since he's racing a rocket-propelled tank, naturally there would be a safety harness.

Thank you. If I can find the pair of LEGO treads I have, I'll enter.

SO all my racers have to be in one entry pic? Lets say I entered one racer right now, and then later edited my post to contain a poorly edited entry pic that contains both of my racers. Would that be okay? Or could I post two entry pics/galleries, etc.?

Either way, here's one entry:

Longshot V.1
Entry pic
Gallery

And then I'll edit this to contain my second racer when I get around to making it.

1. Are Onua Nuva's Quakebreakers permissable treads?

2. Are rotating jets allowed instead of fins?

3. Are ornamental tridents allowed to be on the side of a vehicle?

4. Would a blunt launcher piece be acceptable as a jet?

Why can't we use wheels? They're much more common than treads, and are standard on vehicles.

 

~B~

The point is to make tanks. I've seen IATTAR racers with wheels made out of treads and treads made out of stretched tires, though.

Ahem. A tank with wheels.

 

~B~

 

Ahem, that is not a tank, that is a transport. And nnenn came up with the idea, so you can't go and ask Laka to change it.

No. Once you've entered, you've entered. Since you didn't know, you can withdraw this. As stated in the rules, you can only have one entry pic.

 

1. Are Onua Nuva's Quakebreakers permissable treads?

2. Are rotating jets allowed instead of fins?

3. Are ornamental tridents allowed to be on the side of a vehicle?

4. Would a blunt launcher piece be acceptable as a jet?

1. No

2. I don't think so.

3. I shouldn't think so.

4. If it's the launcher piece, yes. If it's the bullet piece, no.

I have to ask too, is it okay to use Quakebreakers?

 

'Cause that'd be awesome.

No.

1. No

OK. May I inquire as to why?

I'm looking for functional treads.

Well, heres whats happening:

 

I've finished my entry, and I have pictures on my computer. The only thing is that While I was taking pictures, I thought of another awesome idea. :P

 

So instead, I'm gonna put the pics on brickshelf, and if I can't have my other idea done by January 30th, then I will enter this one that I have done.

You can send me or Mr. Cat the pic via PM, if you want us to make sure it's ok before you enter it.

Sorry, I forgot the headlights. Is it alright if I add them later and change my entry pic?

Also, yes it uses all lego elements, those big wheels are from the discontinued ZNAP series. Also, Peeron page for those that don't believe me.

I've discussed it with Mr. Cat, Primus. We came to the decision that you can withdraw your entry, but you can't enter that MOC in the contest again unless you drastically change it. It's really a shame, as I liked it a lot. =/

Do we need to have at least one system element, or how much system elements do you need?

I'd like a minimum of one.
