Right... Was just putting my marker up to make sure no-one nicked the last place while I opened Word up:proud:
The 6isc
Shape: Too complicated, apparently. See picture in the vapourbot images thread.
Size: 60X110X60 CM (LWH)
Weight: ~100 KGs
Speed: 10 MPH.
Ground clearance: Under the wheel protectors, it€™s 5 mm.
Weapon: 26 KG spinning disc, powered by one LEM 130 Lynch motor and going at 2500 RPM. The disc is shaped with its own teeth rather than needing teeth surgically attached to it, so dentistry is quite impossible. The energy output is 36 KJ€™s which, while modest by vapour €˜bot standards should still be enough to make a mess of things.
Wheels: 6 wheels, but four wheel drive. This has three wheels on either side arranged in a triangular fashion, so it only runs on four at a time. The wheels are 1 CM solid Ti with soft compound rubber wrapped around them to provide shock resistance, and a layer of Vulcalon wrapped around that to provide traction.
Chassis: The main chassis consists of one solitary 1 CM thick 4 mm box section hardox bar. Slotted over that is a secondary axle, inside which are the batteries. There are also two other triangular chassis€™ supporting the wheels. These are made from 4 MM 1 CM box section Ti bars with weight reducing holes.
Armour: The true axle and chassis is a 4 MM hardox bar. The battery axle is 2 mm aluminium. The semi circular wheel protectors and side spikes are 5 mm Hardox. The disc itself is 14 MM of Hardox 500, and the outer axle is 4 mm grade 5 Ti.
Srimech: Totally invertible. Controls won€™t even have to be reversed after flipping, meaning it can just go straight back on the attack.
Drive: 2 S28-400 Magmotors at 24 volts.
Strengths: The newest version of The 6isc does away with as many weaknesses in The Disc 5 as I could find.
Weaknesses: Weak armour in places. Can€™t use axe attacks.
Entries closed! Waiting for stats from Steve, and line-ups shall be posted. :)

That was even faster than the Phoenix Cup!!
damn :proud:
Here are my stats, everyone. Say hello to the sixth member of the Spin Dash clan!
NAME- Spin Dash Unleashed (formerly Metal Sonic Spin Dash)
SHAPE- skirted box, with rounded sides and back.
COLOUR- dark blue bodywork, with red-and-white striped skirting.
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 75cm X 20cm
SPEED- 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm all round, 10mm at sides and rear without skirts.
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- inner, 6WD
POWER- 2 x LEM-130s. These run at 36v and produce approximately 18hp.
WEAPONS- A horizontal Pussycat-style saw blade on the front. The blade is mounted on the underbelly ala Code:BLACK and is designed to chew up skirts and wheels. It is powered by an S28-150 Magmotor and runs at 3000rpm. Its 18hp and shape also makes it an excellent battering ram.
SRIMECH- invertible. The rounded sides and rear also prevent it getting beached.
NOTES- flies Scotland flag.
STRENGTHS- excellent traction, fast, tough armour, low weaponry, invertible
WEAKNESSES- untested, so-so manoueverability, saw blade less effective upside-down

Tactics, predictions, comments, n thoughts you lot. :proud:
Spin Dash Unleashed vs. GABRIEL III
This should be good. I can probably get underneath the front with my front point, sawblade or no sawblade, so my tactics are to charge straight at it and try and either break the skirts or get under said front, and flip it over. With it inverted, it should be much easier to get in underneath, so get it caught on the barbs, take to the wall and flip out, or alternatively into the housies or the pit. In the event of that failing, spin around and go thwackbot on SDU.
I wont bother with the skirts in this fight - theres the risk that they might bend down and take the wheels off the ground.
Good luck, Stevo :)
Gabriel, eh?
Classic tactics apply here. Aim for the sides or rear and chew up those titanium skirts. The 14mm max ground clearance should be more than enough for the saw to slip under and nibble those wheels too. If worst comes to worst, aim for the sides and use my superior pushing power to dump it in the Pit.
EDIT: No skirts, Joey? Even better. :proud:

The line-up came about fast! Well done Kody for getting the competition entered so quickly, and contrats to everyone who entered so quickly.
My predictions and tactics:
Achilles vs. Systematic Shocker: Systematic Shocker is the less experienced, but is the most powerful, and Achilles has the more experience and an effective weapon, but has thin armour, and if pushed into the hazards, will be destroyed. Ill go for Achilles to tumble out - GO LIAM!
Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Gabriel III: Spin Dash looks good, but those sides arent going to do much to help it, and so Ill say that Gabriel shall win!
The 6isc vs. Dolce: Sorry Chezza, but The 6isc to outclass you.
Nitro-Gene 4.0 vs. PsycloniZer: KODY YOU [Beep that goes on for 7 minutes :proud:]! PsycloniZer is the most damaging robot in this competition, but I have a plan to win. The sides of Nitro-Gene and the are shaped like / (rotate them 90* each way. Rotate it to the left to get the shape for the rear) the shape of the sides/rear means that those hammer will hit a fine point, and do near-to-no damage. The flipper is 6mm Hardox, and I think hell find it hard to damage me at all, and Ive also added shock-proofing foam and Vulkanised Rubber to quell blows from powerful spinners. So I should be fine.
The plan is to ram into the blades, and given the length of the the hammers, it shouldnt be a problem. Because the front is 42*, it should stop the ring. After that, push it to the edge and throw it out.
Good luck AJ :wink: though possibly its me who shall need it :sad:
