how it all began
first off ive been a fan of robots in general for a long time and when i found autismus maximuses robots it had me wanting to create my own robots and when he published his wiremod robot brain on the 10th of july 2015 thats when i actually started making robots
the first robots
my first few robots were simple and not very effective so i kept trying and eventually i made my first hostile robot called the "flying spear head" it was a simple robot that chased after the player in an attempt to kill them eventually after a while my creations started to get better as i practiced
building better robots
after a while of practicing and trying different things i eventually created a robot called "the ramming smasher" it was my first "decent killer robot" it was fast, deadly and effective it ran at high speed ramming into the player killing them instantly
aquatic dismay
at this point i started making my first water robots the first one was terrible it was supposed to attack but it was far too slow eventualy i figured out how to make robots that chould swim not just on the surface but underwater aswell after some time i created multiple basic aquatic robots that whould move along the surface and i started making ones that could dive under water after a while
a new alliance
after some time of producing robots i had grown a small group of followers like maybe 2 or 3 aroud early 2016 it was mid 2016 that one of my followers alerted autismus maximus of my presence and my creations shortly after he contacted me and told me of how he liked my creations and after some time talking and doing gmod stuff we eventually became friends and now we help eatchouther make robots for people to enjoy
outside the box
mid 2017 i started to develop more robots but then i realized that it wasnt only the robots that needed enhancing it was the brain as well so i started developing more brain types this is why i developed the flight brain of which was created using 2 brains so that it chould detect players that were above and below as well as to the sides meaning that it now had the capacity to fly but i realized it wasnt enough so i kept trying untill late 2017 i developed the mega brain a large industrial strength brain that chould not just make stuff fly it chould make stuff go backwards and forwards as well essentially making turing much better and increasing my machines performance
the future?
in the future we plan on making many more things for people to enjoy for example:
vehicles
structures
weapons
bases
more robots
mechs
turrets
and other cool stuff
what inspires me to make robots?
my robots are inspired by stuff that i enjoy for example stuff from "SCP – Containment Breach" and other things that involve "Science Fiction" related elements including: robotics, genetics, aliens and other stuff along those lines, i even use stuff like history, mythology, and culture as inspiration for my creations.
advice for making robots
here is some advice for making wiremod robots:

1. make sure your robot is not too heavy.
2. make sure your robot works as intended.
3. dont be afraid to experiment with new ideas.
4. get inspiration from things you like.
5. try to avoid accidentally unfreezing your robot when you dont want to unfreeze it.
6. test your machine thoroughly to make sure it works.
7. save your machines progress regularly to avoid losing your machine to accidents.
8. make sure you havent accidentally connected it to stuff you dont want it to be connected to.
9. always test your robot before publishing it.

also heres a small tip for using dupes in gmod:

click the name of a dupe when in-game to open a link to its steam page

Never mind, I found it Sir, with the Blank AI wire brain thing.

@Mr. Chernobyl

there are plenty of wiremod tutorials online but i would advise you to ask autismus as he knows quite a bit

I would like to start making such robots, would there be a tutorial how? Because I'm an absolute newbie to this.

@【SYN】 ΩTellurian¹³

creating a brain? well I usually use pre-existing ones but to make one involves good wire knowledge, the most basic one you can make has 2 inverts, a beacon sensor and a target finder

How does one get into creating brains? I'm having trouble comprehending how all the gates work. I have built a brain twice, but I have no idea how it works.

@Pretty Boy

AD2 is only a component in making some of my dupes work, thats not how you spawn them

you need to subscribe to them and you will find them in your subscribed dupes tab ingame in the dupes area

Hey man how do I use AD2 to spawn your dupes?
