The Canyons Of Your Mind tournament

Hello
I've waited here for you
Medium sized ones
-- Foo Fighters, Everlong, The Colour And The Shape, 1997. Adapted by Andrew Jackson, 2010

Now the intro's out of the way, down to business...I'm afraid it's me again :P here to create another tournament for everyone's viewing pleasure, and this time it's one I can actually complete (Chevron Championship 2 being on hold for a variety of reasons, my real life robot commitments and college being among them), as it's restricted to four entrants and will be run on a straight knockout system so I only have four battles to do.

Here is what I require, in a nutshell:

> Four people to enter one heavyweight vapourbot each. For the purposes of (among other things) encouraging innovation, only totally new machines will be permitted to enter, and this classes anything that may have been already fought or created or posted on any forum as 'old' - you must enter with something completely new and unseen.
> Entrants MUST be willing to post tactics in a timely manner, the format of the tournament will require them for reasons that will become clear. If you do not post them I will assume control of your robot in battles with results that may or may not be to your liking, so be warned ;)
> All entries must be made on this stat sheet:

NAME: Self explanatory I think, your fictional robot's name. This must not be the same as any other existing vapourbot or real robot, if possible, for reasons which shall become clear later.
DESCRIPTION: (optional) Describe your entry here. Feel free to include as much technical detail or as little vague information as you feel like writing; this is open to all ability levels and I reserve the right to disregard anything you may say in this section. It's a strange tournament like that ;P

All will become clear in the meantime; this is something of an experiment for me, an exercise in tactics and de-emphasising of stat values. Hopefully it'll be fun to do and get me back into writing...so in the words of many a great philosopher: What are you waiting for, get entering! :)

Reserve me a place, please.

I'm in!!!

Reserving a spot, need to figure out what to enter... :proud:

reserve me aaaaaaaa spoooooooooot!

reserve!!!!

oh and im loving the intro looks familier :) (points out avatar)

for this... I'll enter... The Urban Spaceman!

Name: Apocalyptic Dishwasher Tablet

Description: Apocalyptic Dishwasher Tablet weighs around 100kgs. It is shaped like... well... a dishwasher tablet. I know this is a difficult concept to grasp, so I have provided a CAD. The dimensions are 700mm x 600mm x 300mm. It runs on four wheels, powered by two LEM-130 motors at 36v. It can reach a top speed of 30mph, and it uses this speed as its main weapon. This weapon is... running away as fast as possible. 10mm ground clearance makes it an easy target for flippers, but they have got to catch it first. It is armoured in 4mm thick Hardox. Sadly it cannot self-right and is also prone to dissolving.

name: did somebody mention teacakes?

its basicly a 2 way clusterbot, each botlett weighs 50kg and looks like a tunnocks teacake (with wrapper on) each runs on 2 mags at 36v, its a fbs :proud: the outer shell spins at around 10,000rpm (100kj), they are armored in titainium and hardox.

bot one (named rofl) is coloured green with a tartan spiral, bot 2 (named epic phail )is tartan with a green spial
