Technology

Technologies are emergent features (i.e. glitch exploits) and useful mechanisms/design patterns developed by the community. Usually, the more esoteric tech is a result of Scaling or NoBounds (or both).

They are not complete Vehicles. For example: tanks are not technology, but tracks or turrets are.

• Bracecube - sticky rhombohedrons and how to use them
• Overflow - taking NoBounds to its logical conclusion
• Force Neutralization System (FNS) - force = mass x acceleration; thus if mass is 0, force is 0

• Simple Logic Circuits - collection of commonly-used logic systems
• Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) - digital throttling

• Interlocking (Hyperlink) - interlocking armour plates
• Surface Hinge - interlock but with build surface fragments

• Rotational Entanglement - synchronising rotation remotely

Mechanisms[]

Simple multi-block systems with moving parts.

• Return-to-Center (RTC) - the art of driving in a straight line consistently
  • See also: Steering Hinge
  • ↪ Toring (Torque Steering) - twisting joints
  • ↪ Piston Steering - linear to rotational conversion
• Propeller Engine - designs for propeller engines and turbines
• 2D Joint (Double-Jointing) - hinges that rotate both left/right and up/down
• Vehicle Suspension - making your ride bearable, if not comfortable
• Tracks - tank/bulldozer tracks
• Turrets - aiming stuff without aiming the vehicle
• Reaction Wheel - spinning things to spin a vehicle
• Spring Tether - rigid springs

Combat Technology[]

Technologies purely for offensive and defensive purposes.

• Recoil Suppression - the art of making the target site more dangerous than the launch site
  • Proportional Response (DL Gun/Talin Cannon) - rotating water cannons
  • See also: Overflow
  • See also: Force Neutralisation System
• Guided Missiles - because aiming is so last century
  • Manual Missile - you fly it like a plane
  • Semi-Automatic Missile - it goes where you point it
  • Fire-and-Forget Missile - you fire it and it Just Works™️
• Black Armour - zero-mass armour
• Inertia Robbery (INROB) - twisting joints so hard they distort space

Stabilisation[]

Technologies for keeping things upright, or resisting rotation.

• • Balloon Stabilisation - balloons and grabbers
  • Flat Block Stabilisation - increasing angular inertia through scaling gimmicks
    • ↪ FBT - flat blocks and armour plates
    • ↪ Vector Entanglement Stabilisation (VES) - flat springs and steering hinges
    • ↪ Brace Entanglement Stabilisation (BES) - flat braces
  • Logic Stabilisation - anglometers, sensors, and hinges
  • ↪ PID Controller

Engines[]

Mechanically-driven piston engines.

• • Rope Engine - using ropes as pistons
  • Nive Engine (Spiral Engine) - using thrusters to push the pistons
  • Steam Engine - using steam to push the pistons
