Mechanical Maelstrom

Hello and welcome to Mechanical Maelstrom. This is my first proper tournament.
I need 8 people to enter one heavyweight robot each, it must be a vapour unless you actually own the vapour you are entering, in which case you can enter that.
The robots must adhere to these rules:
€ž« No wheeled robot can weigh more than 100kg
€ž« A 10% weight advantage is given to tracks and shufflers
€ž« A 50% weight advantage is given to true walkers. The definition of a true walker must be that rotary camshafts do not operate any part of the walking mechanism, and each leg must have 2 stages of movement
€ž« No un-tethered projectiles are allowed
€ž« Cluster-bots are allowed, but there can be no more than 4 parts. Each cluster must make up an equal part of the overall weight and if 50% or more of the cluster is eliminated the whole bot is out
€ž« Pneumatic pressures cannot exceed 2400psi, hydraulic pressures 5000psi
This tournament will take place in the Annihilation Stadium, which is a 10 x 10m2 box with stainless steel floor and 50mm hardox walls that reach the ceiling, therefore no OOTAs. Inside the box there are multiple hazards:
€ž« There are 4 sets of killsaws, one in each corner. These are tungsten tipped and spin at 3000rpm courtesy of powerful chainsaw motors, and are raised by 2 x 100mm rams at 2400psi to launch robots into the air
€ž« When 30 seconds of a 3 minute fight remain the starting squares will drop out of the floor, creating two pits you can push your opponent in to
€ž« There are a 5m spike strips in the middle of the left and right walls
€ž« In the centre of the arena there is the floor spinner, designed to throw robots across the arena courtesy of 4 Briggs and Stratton E-Teks running at 48v
You can find a picture of the arena here:

During battles you can defeat your opponent in any of the following ways:
€ž« Immobilising 50% or more of their drive
€ž« Stacking them against the wall
€ž« Flipping them into a position from which they cannot self-right
€ž« Winning a judge¡¦s decision based on Damage, Aggression, Control and Dominance after 3 minutes of a battle have passed
You can reserve a spot, but it will only last three days before becoming vacant again.
Please go easy on me if my mistakes, this is my first time after all.

Right, what to enter...

Here are the stats: http://strickenone.proboards99.com/index.cgi?board=tivapours&action=display&thread=17 5http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...n=display&thre ad=175

Reserve me a spot please, this could be interesting with the RFL pneumatics rules...

As much as I want to exploit these by entering a 2400psi Gabriel, I cant be bothered to redo stats unless this becomes a standard rule so Ill just use the bog standard full pressure CO2 Gabriel III: http://strickenone.proboards99.com/index.cgi?board=chevhw&action=display&thread=164http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...isplay&thread= 164

Good luck with this Lewis, looking forward to it from what Ive seen in the improving thread :)
