evanthebouncydetailed build description of the wheel oscillator, and how to use it to pulse weapons
known drawbacks:
1. the firing can be finicky when not fighting multiple enemies, as head[A] will struggle to start up. 2. the aiming of head[B] can sometimes be off (due to weight of head and wobbles), putting the contraption on a stabalizer (definitely NOT stake) can dampen the wobbles 3. the pulsing speed is fairly arbitrary, would be nice to control for it. too slow you lose DPS, too fast you're basically turning on the laser at all times (which drains battery)

I personally find having immobile turret is easier to fight around, so I used small wheels and the homing cart is merely used to extend laser range.

thanks to hyrule engineering discord channel that helped me with basic vehicle design, as I'm not a good vehicle builder at all. but for a first vehicle I'm very proud of this build !

add this to the back end of your typical homing cart drone to pull it backwards when enemies are close-by. main body is a tilted cart with 2 big wheels and a stabilizer, with a construction head in head-only attachment. between the front half (the usual homing cart drone) and the back half (the kiting cart addon), the zonai circuit is broken with a foot-only connection of a construction head, which allow the homing cart in front to function autonomously, without being controlled by the activation of the head on the kiting cart. when the head on the kiting cart sees a close-by enemy, it will activate the stabilizer, tilting the cart backwards and drive away.
starcraft video sourced from here : youtube.com/watch?v=2DcaDjhM9UU , the ability to micro ranged unites to kite enemies is something I meant to recreate for awhile now.
