Velociraptor's Fanfic Tournament - Series 7!

Back in 2002, I noticed that everybody else on the forum seemed to be making their own fanfic tournaments - the old tradition of setting up a tournament and having everyone pitch in and write the fights was dying off, to be replaced with the tournament creators writing all the fights themselves. So on 1st October, I decided to join in, and create Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament!

Like real life Robot Wars, it was a very modest start. Only 16 robots participated, and one of the four people who entered them was me (the others being Tom Roper, Steven McGregor and Andy Jackson). The tournament ended on 9th November, with AJs Son Of Ripper as the champ, while Spin Dash and Spinverter got the silver and bronze respectively!

VFT2 (Nov 2002-Jan 2003) came soon afterwards - it was another simple single elimination tournament, with 8 people and 32 robots now entering! This allowed the competition to be even more brutal, with the impressive Disctruction Evo by Aaron Knight taking the gold, Spinverter Version Beta beating its previous record to come second, and Wedge 1 coming third!

After this, inspired by the Pussycat Tribute Tournament, I made VFT3 a big expansion more similar to current Robot Wars, with heats, semi finals and a grand final - and all following VFTs were the same! Aaron Knights Mass Disctruction Ultimate, one of the deadliest Vapourbots around, won VFT3 (Jan 2003 - dont know when it ended), then proved it wasnt a fluke by defending its title in VFT4 (Oct 2003 - Feb 2004)! Aaron withdrew from VFT5 (Mar-Aug 2004), however, leaving the road clear for a new champion, who turned out to Frank Goachers infamous The Disc 2! Then in VFT6 (Aug 2004-Sept 2005), we got another new champion who didnt take its opponents to pieces, but instead used a combination of flipping, good driving and using the arena obstacles to eliminate them - Steven McGregors Wedge Devolution, finally taking the trophy for Steven after trying for so long!

Its now three years since VFT began, and in that time there have been six tournaments of varying size. But now, Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament reaches its seventh series. If it returns, Wedge Devolution will have its work cut out to defend the title from 127 opponents, and with robots that have been well improved since VFT6 began, we can expect VFT7 to be host to some serious robot combat! The arena is set up, the sexy pit girl is ready for some interviewing, Ray the mascot has got his Velociraptor suit on and is preparing to warm up the crowd, so were ready to begin VELOCIRAPTORS FANFIC TOURNAMENT - SERIES 7!

Now here are the rules for entering:
01. I need 16 people to enter 8 robots each, Vapourbots or real. AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR ROBOTS MUST BE REAL. You cant enter a real robot if someones already entered an earlier or later version of the same robot or series of robots. You are allowed to reserve a place, but if you do, you have a time limit of one week to provide your stats. If you fail to do so, your spot will no longer be reserved, but you can still enter if you provide your stats and there are enough places left.
02. This information is required for Vapourbots (you can give more if you want):
Weight
Shape
Dimensions (l x w x h)
Speed
Locomotion (mention what its made of, eg: if its wheels, are they foam filled?)
Ground Clearance
Armour
Weaponry
Srimech
At least one strength
At least one weakness
03. The weight limits are 100kg for wheeled robots, 110kg for shufflers and tracked robots, and 150kg for walkers.
04. Clusterbots are allowed - there is a 4 part limit for them. A clusterbot is not eliminated unless all parts are immobilised, but the loss of one or more parts will count heavily against the clusterbot in Damage if the match goes to the judges.
05. Robots with passive or no weaponry are allowed, but I dont want too many. Flying robots are banned.
06. Robots with interchangable weaponry are allowed. You must say when you first give your stats that your robot has interchangable weaponry, and what those weapons are. If after giving your stats, you come up with a new interchangable weapon you didnt mention before, or change one you did mention, the new weapon or change cannot be used.
07. Basic Robot Wars rules on what is and isnt allowed apply to anything I havent mentioned.

Dave Weston has already reserved a spot, so thats 15 spots left if he gets his stats in within a week.

The tournament will work like VFT6 and RW7 (16 heats, each with 2 Round 1 four-robot melees from which 2 robots go through).
A robot is considered KOd if it is not moving for 30 seconds, if it is pitted, or if it is flipped and cannot selfright. If a robot is propped against the wall, it does not count as immobile and if it isnt freed, the match will be paused so it can be.
If two robots are immobilised at the same time by being flipped or being pitted, they will be righted and the match will continue. If one stops moving and the other is flipped or pitted, the flipped/pitted one wins if it is still capable of movement when righted. If both stop moving, a judges decision decides it.

In judges decisions, the robots are marked on Aggression, Damage, Strategy, Style, Control and Dominance. Each robot is marked out of ten for each category, more like RW decisions, rather than the previous decisions where points were shared appropriately. The scores for each category is then multiplied based on how important the category is - Dominance x 6, Damage x 5, Aggression x 4, Control x 3, Strategy x 2, Style x 1. If the score is even, the robot who came higher in more categories wins. If both robots performed equally category-wise, it will be put to the vote amongst readers.

A big change for VFT7 is that the robots will no longer just be fighting each other. Theyll also be able to fight a team of seven House Robots! (Well, not all at once - therell only be two in each fight.) Say hello to Assassinator, Drilla Killa Ultimate, Horcrux, King Cobra, The Martian, Ultimate Snakebite and Megaraptor!

ASSASSINATOR
Weight: 125kg
Shape: Box, propelled by tracks, with a domed top. The dome has two glowing red eyes on it.
Armour: 7mm titanium
Weaponry: At both the front and rear are two pneumatic spikes for stabbing at opponents, and connected to the dome is a pickaxe that comes down at the front.

DRILLA KILLA ULTIMATE
Weight: 120kg
Shape: Tornado style invertable box, with a wedge at the front, six wheel drive,and pincers at the front. The front sides each have an eye and the side of a mouth with sharp teeth painted on them, while the rest of the mouth is painted across the wedge.
Armour: 6mm Hardox
Weaponry: At the front are pneumatic pincers that grab and clutch other robots. Inside the wedge at the front are three large diamond tipped retractable drills, that are usually used to poke into a grabbed robot. At the rear is a particularly large cone shaped drill (like the one on the Battlebot Snake) used for ramming into anyone that strays too close.

HORCRUX
Weight: 125kg
Shape: Wedge with rounded back. There is an evil looking face painted on the flipper, with red LED eyes.
Armour: 6mm titanium on top of 5mm polycarbonate
Weaponry: The wedge is a powerful pneumatic flipper. At the rear is a Fluffy style spinning horizontal double axe.

KING COBRA
Weight: 125kg
Shape: Square box with sloping sides, and a threatening cobra head poking out of the top. 3D aesthetic additions to the box make it look like the cobra is coiled around it
Armour: 5mm Hardox
Weaponry: On either side of the cobra head is a pneumatic axe with a Terrorhurtz style blade, both independently controlled and painted to look like snakes.

THE MARTIAN
Weight: 140kg
Shape: Like a Martian tripod machine from The War Of The Worlds* with an egg shaped body, two merciless green eyes at the front and three legs, but unlike the Fighting Machines, its body is hung close to the ground, and its legs are held up off the ground - it uses a 2 wheel drive rather than the legs to move.
Armour: 6mm titanium
Weaponry: Rather than a Heat Ray, The Martian has a flamethrower positioned at the front. Its two front legs (which are static) have vertical steel saw blades attached, and the back leg is an electrically powered lifter.
*I should point out that my primary source on WOTW is the Jeff Wayne musical version and the images provided with it, since I havent read the book or seen the movie. Look up images from Jeff Waynes The War Of The Worlds on Google to get an idea of what The Martian looks like.

ULTIMATE SNAKEBITE
Weight: 135kg
Shape: Most of the robots length consists of a wedge that opens up horizontally down the middle like a jaw - at the rear is a box shape. The two wheels are on either side of the box shape, protected by guards. The wedge is painted to look like a snakes head.
Armour: 4mm Hardox
Weaponry: The wedge opens hydraulically - it can act as a lifter and a clamping jaw. There are steel teeth inside the jaw that fold away when it is closed and come down when it opens, so they can cause damage when it clamps. At the box bit of the rear is a vertical flywheel.

MEGARAPTOR
Weight: 250kg
Shape: Like a Velociraptor in a sitting position, with a static scoop at the front, and two moving arms with claws (similar to Mr Psychos) on either side of the scoop. It moves using four wheels underneath it.
Armour: 6mm titanium on top of 8mm polycarbonate
Weaponry: The arms have hydraulic claws that pick up and crush any unlucky robots that come too close - they are not independently controlled and come down at the same time. The static scoop can shove, and at the rear is a pneumatic axe with a Beta style hammer (supposed to be Megaraptors tail).

The arena is a large box surrounded by thick Lexan (so still no OOTAs) and a non magnetic metal floor.
*In the northeast corner and the southwest corner are the CPZs - enter those, and the House Robots are free to have a go at you!
*In the centre of the west wall is the pit release, which opens the pit in the northwest corner for 10 seconds. The pit is not right up against the two walls, but a short distance away from them. Hopefully this will make pitting a little more difficult.
*In the southeast corner is the trusty horizontal arena disc!
*In the centre of the southern half of the arena is a new arena flipper. This comes into action if a robot is on top of it for more than 5 seconds, or if an immobilised robot is placed on it, for a bit of fun!

Once again, in between the second semi final and the grand final we will have the side events!
*Making a return is the Annihilator event! As with last time, nine VFT entrants enter two robots. There will be six three robot Mayhems, and one robot goes through from each into the main Annihilator.
*The Challenge Belt is also returning, with Wedga Revo as the current Belt Holder, so hopefully AJ will enter Wedga or one of its descendants! It doesnt matter how many people enter the event, but each can only enter one robot.
* With a new team of House Robots, were having a House Robot Rebellion! Again, any number of people can enter, but only one robot each. The entrants will be divided into teams, depending on how many enter, and each team will fight four randomly selected HRs in the arena!
*And for the first time, VFT will be holding events for those robots that arent heavyweights! Yes, were having little events for five other weight categories:
Antweights (100-150g; 125-225g for walkers)
Featherweights (4-12kg; 4-18kg for walkers)
Lightweights (12-35kg; 18-52kg for walkers)
Middleweights (35-60kg; 52-90kg for walkers)
Superheavyweights (101-150kg; 151-200kg for walkers)
Eight robots (Vapour or real) can be entered in each weight class - each person can only enter one robot in each weight class. If a weight class doesnt have enough entrants, I will enter realies into it.
You must have entered VFT7 to enter the side events, and if you enter the Annihilator, Challenge Belt or HRR, your entrant (s) must have also been entered in VFT7 (this of course does not apply to the different weight events). You cannot enter any one robot in more than one event.

I think thats everything, so please enter!

Flaming Hell

Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 90x90x60 cm
Weapon: a triangular spinning cage with 3 sharpened bot openers on each end, weighing 5kg each, spinning at 4000 RPM, powered by a Lemco on 36v
Power: 2x Bosch 750 motors at 24v (its been made so that the cage motor gets 36v but the drive only gets 24, as the drive is ok as it is on 24V)
Shape: circular base with triangular cage atop
Speed: 15mph
Drive power: 4bph
Notes: small electric actuators in the rotor arms in order to self right. They have been shock proofed so that the weapon impact will not bust them, and the cage spins 2mm from the ground, but to avoid doing a Mauler, the 4 wheels are at the far corners of the base to increase stability, and bearings added to the outer shell under the cage that go along runners on the cage keep the cage from deviating
Armour: 3mm titainium
Wheel Type - 4 small wheelbarrow type wheels (no need for great traction)

Hell Machine

Mass - 100kg
Weapons - Powerful axe and rear lifting arm
Dimensions - 140x100x60
Speed - 15mph
Turning Circle - 0m
Ground clearance - practically 0
Wheel Type - Go-kart
Body Shape - scoop fronted, wedged back
Armour - 8mm Grade 5 Titainum
Colour - Black with flame face on scoop and name in blood writing on side, devil head on rear wedge
Strengths - Enormous pushing power, EXTREMELY powerful axe, relentless in attacking (until a robot is immobile)
Weakness: Dislikes spinners, doesnt like weapons that use carbon
Notes: If on the ropes in a match, the front eyes will light up blood red and HM will throw absolutly everything its got at its opponent

Name: Sheer Hell
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 150cm x 80cm x 120cm
Shape: low angled box (see profile)
Weapons: a front mounted Horizontal spinning disc and a rear mounted verticl spinning disc, both running at 4000rpm and delivering a blow of 75kj
Top Speed: 8mph
Armour: 5mm Titainium
Srimech: powerful electric arms mounter on the top
Strengths: devestating weapons
Weakness: carbon based weapons
Notes: will NEVER turn the vertical flywheel into an opponent as it will throw SH over. Also, counter-acting discs (vert and horizontal) will keep it stable, and if it is flipped, it does a funny jig in the air before coming down, most of the time, right way up

Name: Flipping Hell
Dimensions: 120cm x 80cm x 40cm
Weight: 100kg
Shape: steep wedge front, elongated wedged tail (not used as a weapon)
Weapon: 1000psi 2 pivot pneumatic flipper that can generate enough momentum and forrce to throw a 100kg robot 25ft up and 20ft across
Top speed: 18mph
Armour: 6mm aliminium and steel alloy
Strengths: Can win with one weapon shot
Weakness: None
Notes: 4 wheels, the rear two of which are Razer type, so the flipper is always facing its opponent

Name: Jaws of Hell
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions (LWH): 130 x 100 x 25 cm
Body shape: Tornado shaped, but with 6 wheels
Weapons: a hydraulic tearer. The idea is that the large blade that is edged on both sides punctures the armour of an opponent, and a 3000psi hydraulic ram separates them, causing a huge tear in the armour. The edge is carbon tipped, so Titanium is not even there as far as Im concerned.
Power: a pair of LEM 130s on 36v running through a Storm 2 transmission (with 6 vulcalon wheels, with small screws in them for that little extra)
Armour: 4mm Hardox and 2mm stainless steel
Srimech: invertible
Speed: 27mph
Strengths: vicious weapon
Weakness: Unique weapon, may be mis-understood

Name: Helliant
Weight:100kg
Dimensions: 100 x 100 x 35 cm
Shape: Low wedge, rounded back
Weapons: A 750 PSI pneumatic arm that is mainly for self righting but can be used as a weapon, and a set of 3 Kill Saws at the back. The Kill Saws four, 20 inch, carbide tipped, SystiMatic saw blades. The blades are powered by a 48 volt, 3.5 horse power motor and can shred titanium and many other things too.
GC: 0mm at the front, 1mm the rest of the way
Wheels: go-karts
Power: a pair of Bosch 750s on 36v, whereas the weapon is on 48v
Speed: 18mph
Armour: 2mm stainless steel and 4mm aluminium
Strengths: rip-roaring weapon
Weakness: iffy armour

Name: All Hell
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 100 x 100 x 50cm
Shape: Vortex, but without the motor sticking out the back
Weapons: A 27kg outer-rim weighted steel vertical flywheel, Powered by a B&S motor at 48v and run through a 40:1 ratio chain and sprocket transmission. The disc runs at 3500RPM but packs a 79Kj wallop (I worked it out; it€™s not that dissimilar from Matildas tail disc).
GC: 3mm all the way around
Wheels: 2 x Vulcanised Aluminium hubs
Power: a pair of Bosch 750 watts motors running on 36v (Like Flaming hell, wired so the drive gets less and the weapon gets more) running through a 10:1 ratio gearbox
Speed: 12MPH
Armour: 6mm Stainless Steel
Colour: Black, with pentagrams and demon faces painted in random places
Strengths: Devastating Weapon
Weakness: No srimech as such, but can run on the disc, which is then thrown into reverse which causes the robot to flip over, Stinger Style. Tipped right way up

As for a real robot, Id like to enter Razer

Just noticed about other weights, so:

MW:
Hell Fire

Weight: 50kg
Dimensions: 120x110x40cm
Shape: low slung wedge
Weapons: Powerful pneumatic flipping arm that has a plate that runs the width of the front, that can throw 75kg 3 feet or so no problem, and can, flip 100kg, but not too high, and a rear Pussycat style Saw, that spins at 4000rpm, and has carbon tipped teeth to cope with titanium.
Top Speed: 25mph
Transmission: a pair of Mag C40€™s on 24v NiMH€™s running through a really simple transmission, but a reliable one due to features to keep the chain on.
Amour: 4mm Ali and steel alloy and 2 mm of stainless steel on top
Strengths: Very manoeuvrable and fast, generally very easy to control
Weakness: Exposed outer wheels
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front, 5cm at the back, varying from 0 to 4.5 at the sides (wedge goes up)
Turning Circle: 0cm (its turning is very nimble)
Notes: Hell Fire is extremely manoeuvrable because it has 2 sets of wheels on the same axle, meaning that it€™s incredibly stable, and can turn on a penny, and can still run even with outer wheels ripped off

LW:
Name: Hell Hound
Weight: 25kg
Dimensions (LxWxH): 60x50x30cm
Shape: scooped front, rectangular body, rounded back
Weapons: 2 conjoined Pincer type crushing jaws with a small hydraulic ram powering each, producing a 1 and 1/2 tonne crushing force
Colour: mainly black, but with Rotweiler features all over the body
Speed: 15MPH
Transmission: a pair of Bosch 400€™s on 24v running through a simple 6:1 ratio gearbox
Armour:1mm stainless steel and 1mm Ali/steel alloy (tough enough for LWs)
Srimech: cable pulled legs from out the side (like a dog cocking his leg to do his business) and a cable pulled tail to self right when its on its head
GC: 0 at the scoop, 2mm the rest of the way
Turning circle: 0cm
Strengths: Power of weapon
Weakness: slow self righter (still effective mind)
Notes: New NBSFL LW champ

FW:
Name: Hells Angel
Weight: 12kg
Dimensions: 59 x 45 x 15 cm
Shape: Scoop front, rectangle body, wedged rear end
Weapons: a car radiator fan motor powered axe, drilled for lightness, but with still a heavy axe head, with a wallop power of about 500kg
Transmission:2x 12v 3000mA Ni-cads powering Ali protected Challenger drill motors attached directly to the compound rubber wheels (those popular blue wheels you see on many FW), which are studded with screws pointing out (like those on Chaos 2)
Speed: 12 MPH
GC: 2mm all around, 0 at the scoop end
Srimech: The axe, the weight of which pulls it over so it cannot rest on its side. Make SURE you remember that.
Armour: 2.5mm mild steel and 3mm ali on the sides, 6mm aluminium elsewhere
Strengths: The axe
Weakness: the armour may not stand up to strong FW spinners, but should prove good enough

Name: Baby Hell
Weight: 150g
Shape: scooped front, rectangle body, wedged back end
Drive: Modified 9g NAROTECH servos, like those used in Anty B powered by a 25g NiMh 4.8v cell
Weapon: A modified NAROTECH servo powered axe that can go through CD casing in 1 shot. The axe is powerful enough to self right the robot.
Armour: Pullback Tornado chassis with the scoop on the front.
Wheels: The ones from the Tornado pullback (very grippy), but I use only the rear two because the front space was needed for the axe and battery
Strength: power of axe
Weakness: strength of armour can cause if to fly acros ring when fighting spinners
Notes: Due to rear wheels, scoop is lower to the floor than regular Tornado Pullback

OK, lets see how quickly I can lose my title. :proud:

save space for me please

Ill enter everything...just let me get stats up.

The real Robot is Overkill.

ORKA MK4

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Behemoth
Speed: Some 15mph
TC: 0
GC: 2mm, 0mm at front.
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 7mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
Colour; Black with white patches
Weapons; A Behemoth like bucket scoop, made from titanium, and quite capable of lifting 300 kilos. It has a claw like device to grab an oppodent, like the claw on Mantis. The scoop is pnumatically powered, and has about 45 odd flips.
Srimech: It has a dorsal fin on top used for self-righting
Inspiration; Ive always liked Orcas. Adding the K made it sound more dangerous.
Strengths; Weapon
Weaknessess: Hard to turn

BIO
Every big team needs some big star to bring in the crowds. My big name is Orka MK4, representing Team Dinowarrior in all its glory.
No one is faster, smarter or more agile than Orka Mk4. When charging, other robots need to get out of his way. He can flip just about ANYTHING that doesnt take the warning, or simply grab hold of them. Hes ready for battle! Are you?


DIE-CERATOPS RE-INVERTUS

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape: Wheely Big Cheese
Speed; 15mph
TC; 0
GC; 0mm at front, 3mm at sides and back.
Wheels; 2 inner, sticking out only slightly,
Armour; 8mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
Colour; Green, with Killer Carrot style wrinkles, mouth and eyes. One of the eyes has a plaster over it, the other is a black eye. A few bandages are painted on this time.
Weapons: A huge Wheely Big Cheese style flipper, capable of flipping a tonne or so.
Srimech; As the name suggests, the robot runs inverted. Bars prevent side strandings, and the back is rounded, so stranding THAT way is outta the question. The flipper works upside down.
Inspiration; Ive always liked Dinosaurs. This is a pun of Triceratops. The Invertus part is pretty obvious.
Strengths; The ability to work upside down and still be able to use its weapon, now easier to control.
Weaknessess: Tengu VI

BIO
Orkas cute-on-one-side-pure-hell-on-tuther friend, Die-Ceratops is equally as powerful and as nippy as his buddy. In the arena, he can get to oppodents/victims in record time. Then, once his flipper is underneath them, they can kiss the ground good-bye. Of course, hes teamed with me, and I can be rather protective over him...


CYCLONE FORCE 2.5

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape; Storm 2
Speed; 25mph
TC; 0
GC; Side is 0mm due to skirts. Back is 2mm. See set-ups for front GC
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 7mm Titanium.
Power; Similar stuff to what Storm 2 uses.
Colour; A blue-ish grey tone all over.
Weapons; The robot has 5 set-ups, 2 brand new...

SET UP 1...A lifter device, similar to Storm 2. In theory, it can lift 190 kilos. The front makes a wedge and results in a 0mm GC. However, the wedge is useless upside down.
SET-UP 2...A pair of Kan Opener style claws, with about 4 tonnes of pressure at the tip. Front GC for this and Set-up 3 is 1mm.
SET-UP 3...A Disc-O-Inferno style disc, reaching speeds of up to 3000rpm and with similar damage capability to this dangerous bot (I mean, look what it did to Panic Attack).
SET-UP 4...Two 30cm long spikes, which, combined with the speed of the robot, can easily penetrate weaker armours (Id say anything 4mm thick or less, minus Steel, is in a bit of trouble).
SET-UP 5...The most risky approach, A simple bucket scoop, like X-Terminator. The scoop is static, but can get underneath virtually zero ground clearance. Its front is 0mm.

Srimech; The robot runs inverted, the sides are protected by the skirts and back stranding is impossible. Set-ups 2, 3 and 4 work upside down.
Inspiration; The original Cyclone was named because it is the name of a storm and it sounds threatening. The force came later, after it became a pusher.
Strengths;Raw power
Weaknessess;Lack of control, Set-ups 1 and 5 do not work upside-down.

BIO
When Cyclone Force 2.5 is in the game, every other piece of metal is scrap! Cyclone can travel across the arena with great speed AND power. His interchangable weapon system means NO ONE is safe. Thank goodness hes harmless when turned off.


LEPROSY INFECTION

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape; Tetanus Booster
Speed; 18mph
TC; 0
GC; 2mm
Wheels; 4 inner, top sticking out. Wheel flaps are situated either side of the wheel to protect them.
Armour; 7mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
Colour; A disgusting shade of lime green.
Weapons; A very large, very dangerous vertical drum, capable of reaching speeds of 4000rpm. The teeth on the drum are curved upwards so they can flip as well as damage and very sharp at the tip. There is a reason for this...
Srimech; The robot is invertable. Bars along the side and back prevent stranding. The wheel flaps, both on top and bottom, are set so the robot can still run inverted without getting stranded. Once upside down, the teeth of the drum gouge out robot parts.
Inspiration; Named after the disease which causes the skin to flake and fingers and toes to drop off...namely because the robot does something similar. The basic idea came from an episode of The Simpsons.
Strengths; Drum, control is pretty good
Weaknessess; Wheels may be vulnerable to axes

BIO
When youve got sharp teeth, sickeningly bright green paint and a name of a skin disease, battle invitations are pretty remote. So, hes loving life in the Robot Wars arena where he can make others sick. Leprosy Infections drum is killer! And when hes upside down, those teeth start gouging out his prey. Grrr...


MEGA MASHER 2

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Minion
Speed: 12mph
TC: 0
GC; 0 at front, 1mm at sides due to skirts.
Wheels; 4 inner.
Armour: A nice 3mm of steel
Power: Similar stuff to what Tornado uses.
Colour: Red and yellow.
Weapons; The front is a wedge, and the back has a nasty vertical disc, powered by its own motor and spinning at 2000 rpm. It can probably flip as well as damage. A side Minion style bar comes out from the side.
Srimech: The aforementioned bar rights the robot, even though it can run inverted.
Inspiration; This is probably the only robot I have where I have had no inspiration. It just came as a good name.
Strengths: Power, weaponary
Weaknessess: A little bulky, not as heavy as the body would suggest.

BIO
Mega Masher is still hell bent on robot destruction. Whether you think of him as the baddest, most brutal robot ever or just a power crazed crazy thing - just dont tell him when his disc is spinning at full throttle! His wedge is also dangerous; being one of the lowest out there. Dont trust this robot to lose as far as you can throw him! Even better, dont try to throw him at all; hes based around Battlebot champion Minion, and way too bulky for flipping.


AXE-O-LOTL

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Comengetorix
Speed: 20mph
TC: 0
GC: 2mm
Wheels: 4 inner
Armour: Mainly aluminium (5mm) with 3mm Titanium top plates.
Power: Same stuff as Storm 2 and Cyclone Force uses.
Colour: Has interchangable panels. One set is pure black, the other pure white with pink tinges.
Weapons: A very nasty axe, with the power of Dominator 2. The head is diamond tipped, and the whole weapon is VERY persistant. It can fire about 40 times in one fight.
Srimech: The axe rights the robot. The robots body is designed so it cant be side stranded.
Inspiration: My favourite amphibian, the axolotl.
Strengths: Powerful weaponary
Weaknessess: Questionable armour.

BIO
Axe-O-Lotl likes a bit of Mexican chilli powder with his lubricating oil. After a break in Mexico, Axe-O-Lotl has returned to join the mightiest of the mighty on Team Dinowarrior. His powerful/persistant axe is brutal, and he has just as much power as Cyclone Force.



OBLITERATION

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Revolutionist
Speed: 5mph
TC: 0
GC: 5mm all the way round. It has to be.
Wheels: 8 inner (4 on top, 4 below)
Armour: 7mm titanium
Power: It drives on 3x 12v batteries plus a couple of Magmotors. For the weaponary, the power matches Phrizbee.
Colour: Dark blue with tinges of black and brown.
Weapons: This robot is a full body spinner. The teeth are increibally sharp. It spins at about 500 rpm, and does damage similar to Phrizbee.
Srimech: Unusual for a FBS, this robot runs inverted.
Inspiration: It sounded cool. It also sounds like a ride at an amusment park, if you ask me.
Strengths: Body! Need I say more?
Weaknessess: Rather slow, First timer

BIO
Obliteration has the disposition of a train wreck many times over. Though he prefers to take his time around the arena, his super powerful spinning body delivers a nasty blow. Obliteration is a first stringer, and considers himself A closer - And he doesnt like having his photo taken for some reason! Watch out for this guy - hes no sweet pleasent ride let me tell you!

blizzard (mw)(dunno what your views on weight are here, im sure you can pull enough off if need be)
red knight (shw) just deduct 5kg through having a slightly thinner chassis and soem drilling

http://www.alexjholt.tkwww.alexjholt.tk as normal

can you also save me two spots in the Annihilator Richard?

btw, is entering the other-weight events optionally?

Sorry to fudge up the seedings Richard, but I only enter things these days to make up numbers, and it looks like weve got enough people around to do that without my help.

Martijn, yes, it is optional.

Alex, do you think reducing Blizzards armour to 4mm aluminium boron carbide and some hole drilling would reduce the weight enough?

Frank, does this mean youre not entering? Sorry to hear that.

(Message edited by velociraptor on October 07, 2005)

Able to save a space for a previous 3 times consecutive champ?

Ill be entering:

MDU 3
Rogue
Intensity
MOABIE
Infusion (new design)
The Ultimate Wedge (new design)
Sewer Snake (Real Robot)
Warrior SKF (Real Robot)

Ill have to work out my AW, FW, LW, MW tonight, but Ill be entering Gyrate Extreme in the SHWs.

Some stats up in the next post.

Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3

Motivation: Wheels
Speed: 12MPH (480MPH Tip Speed)
Weight: 100kg
Height: 250mm
Diameter: 800mm
Weapon: The robot itself is the weapon. It uses its drive and a custom made micro processor system similar to that used in a fellow translational spinner called Cyclone Bot to translate itself around the arena creating a €œVortex of Destruction€. Using 9 Hardox €œenlightened€ teeth, it tears its opponent to pieces when the teeth collide at a sub-sonic speed of 480MPH. Causing certain death to the opponent.
Drive: 3 x Briggs & Stratton Eteks running on 60v. The motors are protected with a current limiting circuit and a thermal protection system which will ensure the motors don€™t over heat. The drive system uses a unique variable drive system with load sensing technology which enables the robot to start rotating with a high gear ratio preset at 5:1 giving the motors high torque low speed. As the robot gains rpm, which is constantly monitored via wheel rpm sensors, the gearing then adjust to suit the load of the motors and gain further speed allowing the gear ratio to lower from 10:1 to as low as 1:1 at top speed. The gear ratio can also over drive thrown the ratio 1:2 giving the robot nearly double the original top speed and allowing far more energy, but this is only used when the opponent is at a distance where it can easily be disposed of. Otherwise, the drive is left at 1:1 maximum.

MDU 3 sports an advanced drive control system to that of Cyclone Bot as it uses motor and wheel sensors to travel and translate in the most efficient possible way, minimising energy lose. The drive will adjust ratio to suit condition if it is loaded and will change if need to translate at the full 14MPH (6MPH up on the last version since the robot size has decreased for faster movement, quicker spin up times and thicker armour). Spin up time is minimal and varies between 0.5sec spin up and 1sec when the system is suffering from battery voltage drop. At a mere 1/7th of its full RPM, this robot will be dangerous. 500rpm will have enough energy to throw robots out the road and allow it to continue it quest for domination. If people start ganging up on it (Everyone will, I know), the drive system will be locked down into 500rpm mode allowing the drive to have nearly maximum potential torque yields and it will force the opponents away till it can then safely power back up to full speed and deliver the force of the €œVortex of Destruction€. To ensure endurance during combat, everything has been shock mounted for maximum protection.
Batteries: 250 x 3600mAh NiCD cells producing 60v @ 18amps. The packs are protected by a system like the drive which give both current and temperature protection. The packs are re-enforced between the cells with Polypropylene cell holders and will prevent them from breaking during the impacts.
Armour: 4mm Hardox 500 with stainless steel welding built in a monocoque design with triangle shape and inner supportive bulkheads. 10mm Polycarbonate on the top to save weight due to the upgrade to Etek motors and higher voltage
Notes: Invertible. Soon to be your worst nightmare. All within your precious 100kg weight limit. Approche Avec prudence.

Mother of All Bricks Inevitably Evolved

Motivation: 4 Titanium wheels with urethane rubber and NIB magnets inside the rubber for extra traction on metal floors.
Speed: 15MPH
Weight: 100kg
Height: 220mm
Length: 650mm
Width: 620mm
Weapon: An active electric wedge, works both ways up and is primarily used to get under the opponent and allow the drive to show them the walls.
Drive: 2 x LEM200D motors producing around 52HP peak each when on there nominal 60v. The motors are current limited to 400amps, which limits the constant HP to 35HP combined. The motors will be run at 59.2 volts
Batteries: 16 x 3.7v 40000mAh Lithium Polymer cells producing 59.2 volts @ 40amps. The Lithium Polymer will give continous amperage of 5C(200amps) and peaks up to 10C (400amps)
Armour: 6mm Hardox 450 all over
Notes: Invertible

Rogue

Motivation: Wheeled
Speed: 18.84KMH (11.775MPH)
Weight: 91.39kg
Height: 248mm
Length: 523mm
Width: 1040mm
Ground Clearance: 10mm under disc teeth and increases to 20mm at the back.
Weapon: The weapon is a 24.61 kg, 580mm (From tooth tip to tooth tip) diameter flywheel mounted on a 20 degree angle. The flywheel is powered by a 6.8kg 125cc 5.3Kw (7.06HP) Husqvana chainsaw with modified Astroflight electric starter motor. The chainsaw has a peak RPM off 8500rpm and is geared 3.4:1 with a kevlar innerbound belt drive to produce a flywheel speed of 2500rpm. The chainsaw has a centrifugal clutch that prevents the flywheel from spinning at idle and prevents the chainsaw from stalling by cutting out at 500-600rpm. The weapon has a tip speed of 273.14Km/h while producing around 32Kjs of Kinetic Energy. The teeth are based on a shark tooth design where a inner concave to cut though metal much quicker and easier. The teeth are CNC machine blocks of Hardox 650 Wareplating to maintain a near perfect cutting edge.
Drive: The drive is a pair of S28-400 Magmotors coupled to a pair of 8:1 aluminium planetary gearbox which gives a final output speed of 500rpm at the drive shaft. The wheels are 200mm (8inch) Colson wheels with 3.25 mm Hardox 450 protection plates and 8mm thick Grade 5 Titanium/Vandium domes with tip spikes. The wheels are mounted on 40mm hollow, 5mm wall Stainless Steel shafts for maximum strength.
Batteries: 2 x 24v 3600mAh NiCD Battlepacks producing 24v @ 7200mAh supply (Enough for 10mins of solid driving, 8 mins of driving with several motor starts)
Monocoque (Chassis/Armour): The monocoque (chassis & armour combined) is a fully tig welded 8mm thick Grade 5 Titanium/Vandium with support braces and inner bulk heads for maximum strength and rigidness.
Electronics: Runs a RoboWars.org BMC speed controller with Hitec Focus SS-3 75mhz PCM 3ch Radio and a 3-axis computer Gyro for maxium control and handling. Uses 150amp rated Anderson power pole connectors and locking pins. Electronics are shock mounted and mounting in a floating style encased in HD (High Density) foam.
Notes: Can selfright via off balance weight distribution whe upside down and is added by the contact of the flywheel on the floor.

Gyrate Extreme (SHW)

Motivation: 4 x Omni wheels
Speed: 10MPH
Weight: 155kg
Height: 320mm
Length: 500mm
Width: 1500mm
Weapon: The weapon is the focus on the robots upgrade. The 45kg spinner bar/hoop combo is powered by two Honda CR125 Motorbike motors. The CR125 motor produces 42.3BHP @ 11500rpm, and only weights 14.8kg each. The motors have a pair of electric starts mounted on them. The weapon rotates at a crazy 4500rpm, via a variable belt drive that changes ratios from 10:1 through to the final 2.5:1 ratio. The variable belt drive works by the expansion of one pullie (Motor end) and the contraction of the other (Weapon end) This is done via torque springs mounted on the adjustable pullies and forces them to change size when the load changes. Commonly found on 6WD amphibious ATV€™s.
Drive: 4 x LEM 130€™s on 24v geared 10:1
Batteries:
Armour: Can you say 15mm Poly-Propylene?
Notes: The weapon is devastating. The power is phenomenal. The noise is incredible! The bot is not invertible€¦ Flip and gone€¦€¦ But you have got to get close to it to flip it!

Warrior SKF: http://www.buildersdb.com/botpics/2396.jpghttp://www.buildersdb.com/botpics/2396.jpg Team Whyachis 1000rpm Ring Spinner that powers the front flipper. Was able to launch Cyclonebot over 8ft into the air! The spinning rim is 2inch thick Cromemoly 4130 Steel!

Sewer Snake: http://www.buildersdb.com/botpics/374.jpghttp://www.buildersdb.com/botpics/374.jpg Ram bot with a front lifting wedge. Currently ranked #1 in the US and has beaten countless amounts of spinners, despite having exposed wheels.

Aaron, Gyrate is a bit overweight like Alexs Blizzard, so shall I reduce the armour by 1 or 2mm?

There are currently:
*5 places left in main comp
*1 place left in middleweight, lightweight and featherweight (that is, if AJ meant those when he said he wanted a place in all side events)
*2 places left in antweight and superheavyweight (again, assuming AJs entering these)
*3 people/6 robots needed to enter the Annihilator

(Message edited by velociraptor on October 08, 2005)

Yep, save me places in the otherweights too please. Im going to be away this weekend but I can start work on my bots by Monday if thats OK. :)

Alex, do you think reducing Blizzards armour to 4mm aluminium boron carbide and some hole drilling would reduce the weight enough?

Thats fine

Also Ill have archangel and baldur in the annihalator

Sorry Alex, but the robots you enter in the Annihilator have to be ones youve entered in the main comp.

Stats for Ram-Raider

NAME: Ram-Raider.
Weight: 18 kilos
Body Shape: A bit like 101 without the tracks.
Speed: 23mph
TC:0
GC: 1mm all round
Wheels: 2 sets of Banks. In other words, its a shuffler.
Armour: 3mm aluminium on top and bottom, nothing on the sides.
Power: I dont know what a suitable power source for a featherweight would be. Could someone offer any helpful suggestions?
Colour: Green on one side, Purple on the other.
Weapons: A horizontal saw blade powered by its own motor (again, advise would be nice) is the active weapon, but its own brute force provides the main weapon.
Srimech: The robot can run inverted. You could TRY to side strand it, but it has ears to prevent this.
Strengths:Brute power.
Weaknessess: Weakish armour.

Name;Little Big Bot
Weight;28 kilos
BS;Square Wedge (like Morticon or Alley Cat in RW game)
Speed;20mph
GC;2mm
Armour;6mm polycarbonate
Power;2x 750-watt Bosch electric motors
Wheels;4 inner
Weapons;Double headed axe, like Terrorhurtz, but smaller. The idea is to batter oppodents instead of destroying them.
Srimech;The axe rights the robot.
Inspiration;The name of a Simpsons episode, AND the name of a wildlife documentory about small cats, but NOT after the famous film.
Strengths;Weapon
Weaknessess;Difficult to control

Name;Tom
Weight;50 kilos
BS;Wedge with rounded back
Speed;12mph
GC;7.5mm at sides, but flipper front is 0mm
Armour;3mm titanium
Power;2x wheelchair motors
Wheels;2 inner
Weapons;A flipper, like Chaos 2, able to flip 5 times its own body weight
Srimech;The flipper rights the robot. Whiskers prevent side stranding and the rounded back prevents stranding THAT way.
Inspiration;Part of a clusterbot called Tom and Jerry (you can GUESS the inspiration), but now he is working solo.
Strengths;Flipper
Weaknessess;GC a little high.

Drop the armour to 12mm Poly-pro, Rich. It should shave off the required weight.

NAME: Tyr-ant-O-Saw-Rus Rex
WEIGHT: 150 grams
BS: Box-wedge shape. Think of Bondi-Titch (The Australian Robot from the CommonWealth Carnage)
SPEED: Should make 20 cm in a second.
GC: About 3mm, but 0mm due to skirts. The front is 0mm anyway.
LOCOMOTION: 4 solid wheels.
POWER: Just a nice 4.8v battery connecting to the mini-motor...Im not totally sure what kind of motor youd need for a robot this light anyway.
ARMOUR: Lego. This is practically what the whole robot is made of, with a thick-ish layer at the top. The chassis is the thick stuff, whilst the armour is the thin stuff (which is about 3mm thick). The robot also has cardboard skirts.
WEAPONS: 6 backward curving teeth, made of a thin wood. The theory is that a robot will drive up the wedge, but the teeth mean it cant drive back off again. Then T-Rex heads for the pit.
SRIMECH: The robot can run inverted, but the weapon doesnt work as well.
STRENGTHS: Cunning weapon.
WEAKNESSESS: A person who couldnt build a real antweight robot even if he knew!

Sorry Rich, but yeah it means Im not entering.

Okay, lets bring my hat to the ring.

Team Targeted -

Malaria
Cosmic Thunder
Cacodemon
Scorpion Bite 2 (New pictures up soon)

Id also like one place reserved in all the other side competitions, as I try to figure out which should go where.

(Message edited by Siphai on October 09, 2005)

Does that include all the other weights, Alex?

In which case my annihalator robots will be salamander and kali

erm... Ill enter to make up numbers ifneeded, but Im not too interested in entering new tournies these days.
Looks like Ill never win one after all.

SHW: Done [use the 200kg set up, if its not overweight]
http://farr.proboards21.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=Hitmen&thread=11288 59837http://farr.proboards21.com/index.cg...thread=1128859 837

NAME; Octopush 2
WEIGHT; 150 Kilos
SHAPE; Chassis is like New Cruelty, basic shape is like Octopush from FMC.
SPEED; 18mph
TC;0mm
GC; about 3mm
ARMOUR; 7mm steel.
POWER; Similar to what New Cruelty has.
WEAPONS; A giant Axe device. Instead of an axe head, however, is a vertical spinning drum, spinning at about 1000rpm and coming down, on the hammer arm, at 60mph.
SRIMECH; The robot, if flipped over, can right itself using the arm. The top is curved so it can also roll over. It cannot be side or back stranded.
WHEELS; 8 inner (of course)
STRENGTHS: Power
WEAKNESSESS: A nightmare to turn.
