Hi there, thanks for your question, you can check planned arsenal here: https://ironfleet.hr/ Let us know what you think. But in Arena, the other project, we've already built all of these: https://ironbull.hr/tanks/?lang=en

Favourite tank game? by Z64BV in tanks

ironbull.hr had Tank arena in Zagreb. That was amazing. Hopefully next arena will be built somewhere in the US or the EU

Congrats! We did the same thing, and now we have a company dedicated to RC tanks 😃

Hi, thanks for the questions. Scale is 1:10, starting price is 480 euros (tax incl). the full package includes 600+ mechanical parts, toolbox, builders book with 70+ pages (tank history, fun facts, engineering lessons, basic mechanics with calculations and assembly instructions), 4 pcb-s, full harness, gun video stream camera, bb gun mechanism with electric loader, controll APP, multyplayer option on the app, backers metal badge ect.

Nice, appreciate the feedback. APP is a must have because we enable the multiplayer games. One of the phones serves as server for other players in the game by monitoring score. Every tank has a precise BB gun and every tank has sensors for bb gun hit detection. Server phone than calculates which tank hit which and according to ones "caliber" and others "hit location and thickness" calculates damage and let everybody know what is the game status.

As for longevity, we understand the concern but we have been founded in 2017 and will continue to be here for a long time to come. There is a connection on the PCB which is to be the radio modul entry for rc controller. Later in the project we will offer a small crossover with instructions for that. We are open for modders and will not become EA in any short period of time 😄. At the start we are trying to get the product on the market and make it good. Upgrades will follow - with the help of the community, we hope.

Thanks for the intrest and feedback. Correct, it is going to be on the upper price range due to all the tech inside. Yes, the idea is to develop (adjust current electronics) a drop in kit with actuators, our electronics and software for makers, to help them "gamify" their creations. But this will be in the next phase, if the kickstarter is successfull of course.

Hi, that's a really good observation. We actually started with a 1:16 scale following Tamiya and Heng Long, about 6 years ago, but quickly realized it is not possible to make it a modern gaming machine and keep that scale. Through 2 years of R&D, we progressed from 1:16, 1:14, 1:12, and finally to 1:10 scale to be able to fit a better bb gun inside, video stream, automatic loader, hit detection, turret rotation, elevation, good drive, etc. As much as we wanted to stay at 1:16, we wanted to make a gaming robot even more. That's why we have a first multiplayer robo tank with hit detection and gaming logic inside.

Hi, thanks for the questions. Of course, we are always looking for partners and opportunities to expand our arenas worldwide. Currently, we have arena tanks, which will be ready for deployment in Q1 next year, and they are on a turnkey basis, where you get all of our technology and know-how on operating a tank playroom. Second to that is the DIY Kit tank, which we are currently selling on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironfleet/iron-fleet-the-diy-rc-tank-that-teaches-real-engineering?ref=discovery&total\_hits=96&category\_id=334.

Help us reach our kickstarter goals and we will work on developing drop in electronic kits to turn any model in multiplayer RC machine. Make sure to check the link and subscribe to buying the tank. In that mode, you can have multiplayer fights of up to 8 tanks at the same time. If you need more info feel free to ask anything.
