Right... Here I Go Again

Ive found the stats for Hypro Mk.3 by the way, Dave. To be honest Matt, what was wrong with Mk2? (Thats a question by the way)

Hypertension Mk.3

Weight- 98.4kg
Dimensions- H- 40cm, L- 90cm, W- 70cm
Speed- 17.6mph
Shape- Wedge
Ground Clearance- 0mm at front, 3mm at sides, 4mm at rear
Turning Circle- 0
Armour- 7mm Hardox
Locomotion- 2 x 150mm drilled aluminium wheels with reinforced rubber grips + small front wheels for manouvreability.
Batteries - 20 x CP3600 Nicads at 1.2 v each making 24v and each weighing 80g
Motors- 2 x c40-300 Magmotors running at a gear ratio of 4:1 and producing a total pushing force of 7.64BHp
Failsafe Position- Under the armour at the top of the flipper.
Paint Scheme- See through
Weapons- a CO2 powered flipper running at 750psi with 2 x 70mm bore, 220mm stroke rams behind it with a 2.5kg gas tank. It can flip about 2 tonnes, though that shouldn€™t be necessary. It should send a 100kg robot about 1.7m into the air and had around 15 flips in the tank. The idea is that we reserve flips as much as possible and only use them when in prime position.
Srimech- The flipper.
Strengths- Powerful flipper, strong armour, good speed
Weaknesses- Limited manouvreability, limited CO2.

Weight Distribution

Chassis - 22kg
Armour - 35kg
Wheels - 7kg
Batteries - 1.6kg
Motors - 10.8kg
Weaponry - 12kg
Odd Bits (always estimated at 10kg)
Total - 98.4kg

ok Dave, Ill enter Axe to Fall

I like to bring my machines forward even if they dont need it Paul. I compete with myself.

I would rather have the best squad and win nothing, than a mediocre one that wins. Its like BIACS-LE. No-one else has doen anything like it, and its a very well designed robot though I say so myself, however it hasnt won much.

Paul, let people do things their own way, please.

Franky, whats the mass of The May Tracks Has You?

So the 8 machines are:
1 - Nitro-Gene
2 - Avarice
3 - Death Threat 0.1
4 - Forklift 2
5 - The May Tracks Has You
6 - SOR Hex
7 - Hypertension Mk.3
8 - Axe to Fall

Round 1 Draw:
Hypertension Mk.3 vs. The May Tracks Has You
Death Threat 0.1 vs. Nitro-Gene
SOR Hex vs. Avarice
Axe to Fall vs. Forklift 2

Tactics, Predictions

Round 1 Draw:

Hypertension Mk.3 vs. The May Tracks Has You - I predict a clean win for Hypertension via OOTA! Go Matt!

Death Threat 0.1 vs. Nitro-Gene - This seems to be the robot I would be most prefered to fight - it has a high ground clearance, ineffective weaponry (as it wont do anything to my Hardox armour) and I can outpush it on all sides. My plan is to drive into the claws ala Storm 2 vs. Tough As Nails, and shove it around the arena, before flipping it high into the air and throw it OOTA! Good luck Danny. May the best newcomer win :mrgreen:

SOR Hex vs. Avarice - Im not sure, as these are both new robots.

Axe To Fall vs. Forklift 2 - Two good robots, but Axe To Fall is more powerful and reliable. Go Martijn!

Hypertension Mk.3 vs. The May Tracks Has You

Franky to go through here.

Death Threat 0.1 vs. Nitro-Gene

Death Threat cant exploit Nitro-Gene high side ground clearance. Paul will win here.

SOR Hex vs. Avarice

Would like to see SoR Hexs render. :wink: Anyway circle around him keeping the scoop facing him, and strafe out of the way of any attack he gives. I should be able to right myself pretty quickly if at all I get flipped, and Im not too worried about the spinning bar to be honest; thanks to my 5mm hardox it should take enough punishment. Keep hitting him with the axe, and if I get a chance to get under him with the scoop, take it, and grab him with the axe and shunt him into the pit, and if that doesnt work, smash him into a wall and keep hammering him until hes dead.

Axe to Fall vs. Forklift 2

Forklift 2, I think, can get under Axe to Falls front wedge and toss him over. Then its just a matter of keeping Axe on his back until the eventual OOTA. Forklift 2 FTW.

Looks awesome, Davey. :proud:

Axe to Fall vs. Forklift 2

I see a small advantage in power for me. I think my titanium wedge can penetrate those skirts, but to be on the safe side, Ill be ramming corners. From there, clamp down and push, and pit.

Death Threat 0.1 vs. Nitro-Gene

Err... To be honest Im not sure what I can do. Avoid the flipper, go for the corners and try to grapple it into the pit, I guess, but Im pretty pessimistic about all this.}
