Flipper Fest 1

[leorcc]

This is a tournament I've been contemplating for a while now of doing. I will not have much time to do this one quickly, but I will try to do a fight at least 1 every week, perhaps 2 a week time permitting.

Here are the rules:

- I need 8 people to enter 1 heavyweight robot;
- No weight bonus for shuffle bots, walkers need to demonstrate pure walker mechanics for weight bonus;
- FRA rules apply (no 200 bar HPA/Nitrogen);
- The robot must have a flipper. You may have secondary weapons, but the flipper is mandatory;
- All stats will be checked prior to admission.

All fights are 1 on 1, it is a simple knock out tournament. The winners go through, the losers go home.

The arena:


The inside of the arena is 17.5 meters long, 12.5 meters wide, and has 2 square 2.5 meter pits in the floor. on the sides there are 2 OOTA zones, 6,5 meters wide, 4 meters high. in front of them is the arena sidewall that is 1.25m high.

Flip a robot in the OOTA zone = win. Get a robot in a pit = win. If the opponent is immobilized for 30 seconds = win.

Good luck to those who enter.

Entrants:
1. Gabriel V
2. The Servant
3. Wedga Triton
4. Profanity
5. Orrion
6. D2
7. Seung Mina VI
8. Thunderstorm

Name: Gehenna
Weight: 100kgs
Shape: A low to the ground wedge shape, with sloping sides and rear.
Colour: Black bodywork with a dark blue flipper.
Length: 800mm
Width: 800mm
Height: 200mm
Motivation: Two 150mm diameter 30mm wide wheels made of Aluminium 7075. Each wheel has an Asmaprene urethane rubber tyre for extra grip on the arena floor.
Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors running at 26.4v from 40x A123 Lithium-Ion cells.
Turning Circle: 0mm using a tank style steer.
Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front and variable leading to 10mm at the rear.
Armour: The wedge is made of an 8mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy. The sides, rear and base are all 6mm Titanium/Vanadium. The flipper itself is made of 4mm Hardox.
Weapons: The main weapon is a front-hinged flipper, like Firestorm and Envy. It is operated by an 80mm bore 100mm stroke ram. This is run at 145psi on CO2 and the gas is stored in a 2.2kgs canister. This should provide plenty of quick and powerful flips. The flipping plate has an edge to stop robots driving up and over the wedge shape. The secondary weapon is at the rear - it is a 650mm diameter horizontal spinning bar with a 2kg weight at each end. It is powered by an S28-400 Magmotor and spins at 2450rpm from a 2:1 ratio. It weighs 10kgs and is capable of dishing out 22kJ.
Self-Righter: The flipper is used to self-right Gehenna. The sloping panels mean that it always lands on the flipper if inverted.
Notes: Thanks to Joey for his help.

Hope that is okay.

Under current FRA rules High Pressure Air and Nitrogen is not allowed. Sorry.

Ooh.

Seung Mina VI please. Stats available through the link in the sig below.

I need a little more detail on the weapon, front flipper means rear hinged I presume? What about the bore and stroke of the ram, gas supply? And what kind of battery power?

Is that 68cm high? That is pretty high up.
2 mm Polycarb baseplate is very flimsy, I don't think you'd want that.
Nitrogen is not allowed, perhaps you can redo your stats with 2kg CO2 and a buffertank?
The size of the ram is also missing here.
