7. Disco Boogie
8. Rammy Mk 3

All Stars
1. Disco 5
2. Forklift 2

NAME- *69
SHAPE- It€™s a shaped like a five point star but the points are mounted round a inner circle so the points of the star spin round
COLOR- yellow
WEIGHT- 100kg
SPEED- 19mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- about 10mm but is lower under the bottom teeth where it is about 3-4mm
ARMOUR- 4mm hardox
MOVEMENT- it uses 6 inner storm 2 style wheels
DRIVE- it uses 2 x lem 130€™s
BATTERIES- 4 x 30 cell 36volt 3ah Sanyo NiCad packs
WEAPONS- as I said it has an outer spinning ring so is a fbs the ring is powered by a LEM 200 motor at 60volts, the points on the star each have sharpened teeth on them and it spins in a clockwise direction, each point has 3 teeth on it, one on the bottom for tearing at skirts in wheels, one in the middle for body work and that, and one at the top for aerials and tall robots and also used for bottom teeth when flipped
SRIMECH- Invertible, points and blades stop it from sticking on side
NOTES- Still the only star shaped robot, the weapon is significantly more powerful than before.
STRENGTHS- Powerful weapon and drive
WEAKNESSES- nights with no stars
SONG- Hilary Duff- The Math

Name-Panicking Still?
SHAPE- Low invertible box
COLOUR- Yellow except for the lifting forks which are black
WEIGHT- 98kg
DIMENSIONS- 65cm x 60cm x 15cm (Length x Width x Height)
SPEED- 20mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0 mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 mm at front due to forks, 0 mm at sides and rear due to skirts 6 mm with out, the skirts are hinged so flop over when the robot is flipped. These can be removed before the fight if I wish them to be.
ARMOUR- 5 mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- 6 Vulcalon wheels to give extra pushing power
POWER- 4x S28-400 @ 24volts
WEAPONS- on the front the robot has a pair of invertible lifting forks, the forks are like those on panic attack, the forks are powered by 2 linear actuators
SRIMECH- The robot is invertiable so doesn€™t require one. The robot can€™t rest on its sides, rear or front. Due to the skirts and that the sides are slightly angled. It can€™t rest on its front due to the forks.
STRENGTHS- Low to the ground, reliable weapon
WEAKNESSES- Kind of old design I suppose.
SONG- Panic! At The Disco- But It€™s Better If You Do

Name: Disco 5
Shape: Low Wedge with small rear wedge
Motivation: it now uses four storm 2 style Vulcalon wheels
Speed: 12.5 Mph
Weight: 100kg
Height: 300mm to top of body, 600mm to the top of the disc
Length: 1300mm
Width: 600mm
Weapon: 500mm Vert. flywheel @ 3000rpm. Has a 4.00 second spin up time due to the C40-500 Magmotor on 36v with a 2:1 twin tension cog belt reduction. The flywheel produces 31.5Kj€™s at maximum RPM but is lethal at around 1 second. The second weapon is also the srimech, this weapon is a low pressure pneumatic flipper running on 10Bar (145psi) running into a single 80mm bore ram. This produces 509kg at the ram and is then transferred into the flipper with a leverage point ratio of 1:1. This is a forward facing flipper like FireStorm and will have no problem toppling the heaviest of robots.
Chassis: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium monocoque with extra 5mm Titanium ribs to give it more rigidity.
Drive: 2 x S28-400 Magmotors @ 36v with a 10:1 Mod 2 spur gear reduction
Batteries: 90 x 3000mAh NiCD cells producing 36v @ 9amp
Color- the robot and skirts and flipper are blue and the disc is yellow
Clearance- it has 0mm at the front due to the wedge it has 0mm at the sides due to skirts its 6mm with out it also has a 0mm at the rear due to the small wedge which is there to replace the problem of the skirt being flipped into the disc. The skirts are NOT hinged and held down by torsion-springs so they shouldn€™t spring up and the rear one shouldn€™t go up into the disc
Notes- The flywheel is at the back off the robot it goes over the back of the wedge so if I can get a robot up the wedge far enough it will be hit by the disc. The shape of the robot stops it from landing on its side.
SONG- Rachel Stevens- I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)

NAME- The deer (was crusher chaos)
SHAPE- Invertible box
COLOR- the robot and claws are a dark green color
WEIGHT- 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 1m x 80cm x 25cm (l,w,h)
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- It has 6mm at the front due to the claws and has 0mm at the sides and rear due to the skirts, without skirts 6mm. The skirts also work both ways up.
ARMOUR- 3.6mm hardox
MOVEMENT- 4 inner wheels that make the robot invertible
POWER- 2 x S28 Magmotors on 24v.
WEAPONS- it has a front pair of horizontal hydraulic crushing claws set up like deers antlers (shaped like those you find in extreme destruction.) The claws have 3.5 tones of crushing force on the front tips of the claws at the middle is 6tones and right at the back it has 8 tones of crush. The claws are powered by hydraulics through a 120mm bore rams at 3000psi
NOTES- invertible, wide base means the deer wont topple while crushing
STRENGTHS- Very powerful weapon
WEAKNESSES- it could be turned into venison
SONG- Jennifer Paige- Crush

Name- Catus Catus 8.1
SHAPE- It€™s shaped like a cat about to pounce (I have a picture of what I mean if u need it)
COLOUR- black and white
WEIGHT- 150kg (it€™s a shuffle bot)
DIMENSIONS- 90cm X 78cm X 35cm
SPEED- 18mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front due to jaws, 0mm at rear due to tail and it now has 0mm side ground clearance due to new side skirts
ARMOUR- it has 3mm hardox
MOVEMENT- moves on 8 inner camshafts (like drillzilla)
POWER - 2 S28-400€™s on 24volts
WEAPONS- It has a front pair of growler style crushers shaped like a cats head powered by a 80mm bore ram with 3000psi hydraulics, the rear weapon is a flipping tail powered by 80mm Bore ram on 1000psi pneumatics.
NOTES- has curved sides to stop landing on side
STRENGTHS- great weapons, self rights with ease
WEAKNESSES- Limited co2
SONG- Atomic Kitten- See Ya

Name-Forklift 2
SHAPE- Low box with rear anti self flipping wedge
COLOUR- Yellowy orange
WEIGHT- 100kg
SPEED- 18mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at front due to flipper, 0mm at sides due to skirts 7mm with out, 0mm at rear due to wedge. The skirts are held down by torsion springs
ARMOUR- 5mm hardox
WHEELS- has 6 inner storm 2 style wheels
POWER- 2 x S28 Magmotors on 24v.
WEAPONS- it now uses a flipping arm that works much like the matadors or Toro€™s the flipper is powered by co2 on a 120mm pneumatic ram, working at 145psi, the flipper front is pretty unique as its front is like that of a fork lift (it has 2 flat bits of metal) this is welded onto the flipper, the arm can toss robots very high and if possible out of the arena. The prongs of the forklift weapon are used to get under the corners or gaps of skirts
SRIMECH- the flipper self rights the robot but because of the rear wedge thing it self rights like firestorm does i.e. the front wheels will go down first
NOTES- this is a modified version of my robot from the panic attack forum.
STRENGTHS- Power full weapon
WEAKNESSES- limited co2
SONG- Route 1 featuring Jenny Frost- Crash Landing

NAME- Disco boogie
SHAPE- Invertible box
COLOUR- The robot, wedge and caging are blue and the disc is yellow
WEIGHT- 98Kg
SPEED- 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm under wedge, 0mm under rear disc caging this is to help hit robots, 0mm at sides due to skirts which will work when flipped
ARMOUR- 6mm titanium/vanadium alloy
MOVEMENT- it uses 6 inner Vulcalon wheels
POWER- 2x LEM130 Lynch Motors on 24v
WEAPONS- it has a front-hinged wedge, on the back is a 500mm Vertical. flywheel @ 3000rpm. Has a 4.00 second spin up time due to the C40-500 Magmotor on 36v with a 2:1 twin tension cog belt reduction. The flywheel produces 31.5Kj€™s at maximum RPM but is lethal at around 1 second, the disc is now has a scorpion jr style cage around it which is on a pivot ish thing so when flipped the caging will go down so it works as well when flipped
SRIMECH- Invertible
NOTES- This is a test to see if this design is effective
STRENGTHS- Powerful weapon
WEAKNESSES- people not getting it
SONG- The Jacksons- Blame It On The Boogie

NAME- Rammy Mk 3
SHAPE- Invertible box with front hinged wedge
COLOUR- Blue
WEIGHT- 94kg
SPEED- 20mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front due to wedge this is both ways, 0mm at sides and rear due to skirts 8mm without, the skirts can be taken off if they aren€™t needed for the fight
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- it has 6 inner vulcalon wheels
POWER- it uses 2 x lem 130€™s
WEAPONS- The front wedge can lift up and down powered by a linear actuator, this is only used if the opponent is winning to help get aggression points from the judges. The wedge is hinged so works both ways up however the lifter isn€™t as affective when the robot is flipped though it still works

The message here is quite clear, hurry up AJ! :rofl:

The main event is the first focus and we have until the end of the semi finals before the side events. So don€™t worry too much about those yet. We are, however, looking to start the main event ASAP. Therefore, I€™m afraid reserved places will only be kept until Friday 4th July before they are no longer reserved. At this point, we will either fill your places up with what we believe your line-up would have been, vacate the space for someone else or enter real robots.

Cheers, everyone! :)

Replacing Intriguing with my newest vapour: Intriguer. State on ZED board. :)

seeing how everything stands atm, it might be wise to cancel AJs reserved spot as soon as someone else comes in :wink:

I did enter a superheavy a while ago, if Im not mistaken...

All changes noted guys, thanks. Good to see you back as well, Dave.

Team ?¿?

1) http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...lay&thread=294

Sorry to ask this Liam, but you know that you wasted time waiting for Beta-Rex to have a rumble with Nitro-Gene 4.0, but retired after you made Apocalypse.
Id like to offer a vengence match between Nitro-Gene 4.0 vs. Apocalypse so we can see this long awaited battle. We havent fought yet, but its so both of our best robots can battle it out.

Kody told me there was one spot still open in the main event here but I assume dave already snatched that up? :P

well, perhaps you cant be in FVAL for now but surely you can still have fun in UTATYA hint hint :proud:

Alex, I have an idea. AJ, if Matt Fowler doesnt get his stuff up by next weekend, Alex should take his place. :proud:

pfffft!

that was EXACTLY the response I was hoping for Matty! :proud:

lol owned

I dont think theres much point of a grudge match between Apocalypse and Nitro-Gene Paul, sorry.

I agree, Liam. Besides it is a bit unfair: Apocalypse fighting a SHW...

Daniel - Nitro-Gene is NOT overweight. Not version 4.0 anyway :proud:

Is Nitro-Gene 4.0 the one with the 5mm/6mm armour, the four LEMs and the 100mm nitrogen flipper?

Paul: trust me. 5mm Hardox armouring, 4 LEMs and a nitrogen flipper inside a 100kg robot is absolutely proposterous.

1) You dont need thick amounts of Hardox armour when even 4mm is going to be tough to dent. You can get thicker amounts of lighter armour instead to take the weight down.

2) Why not take 2 LEMs out and give the machine a skid steer turning capability (think Razer or Growler). Youll still have lots of HP and good manouevrability. The weight taken from the removal of the motors can mean more armour in certain places.


I am not nit-picking here, Paul, just helping you out. Please at least read my suggestions.

Paul, look at Dans latest version of Pure Evil:

http://strickenone.proboards99.com/index.cgi?board=teambv&action=display&thread=308http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...isplay&thread= 308

Its basically the same as Nitro-Gene 4/5, apart from the shape and two less motors.
It needs tracks, and therefore the extra 10kgs, in order to fit all that in, and that is with two less motors than your 100kg robot.

Food for thought...

1. It had the thick Hardox when I started, so I rtemoved 2 wheels to cut down on weight for the gears and chains needed for 6 wheels, and it meant I would only need the weight of the motors, as 1 motor powered 1 wheel.

2. IT DOES HAVE A SKID-STEER AS IT CAN TURN ON THE SPOT!!

Paul, forget it. Youre obviously a lost cause in this.

Paul, can give me your weight analysis of Nitro-Gene? How much for armour, motor, batteries, wheels, gears, weapon, etc?

Paul, if you dont do something about those stats, I am personally ousting you from FVAL. I am sure you do not want that, so if I were you, Id seriously look over Nitro-Genes stats. Right now.

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 3000 RPM, powered by a Lem 130 on 36v, which, theoretically, puts out 82.471 KJ
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: Flag atop to show direction and to aid self righting, and the cage spins 2mm from the ground. Small bearings for the cage and the far set apart wheels give it increased stability for a FBS
Turning Circle: 0cm
Armour: 3mm titanium
Wheel Type - 4 small wheelbarrow type wheels (no need for great traction)
Strengths: Power of cage
Weakness: Unpredictable bounce off from an opponent

Hell Machine

Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 140x100x60 cm
Weapons: A rack and pinion driven 16 bar max, 250mm stroke, 100mm bore axe, pressure is adjustable to suit, on 16 bar it delivers a 900kg blow and 2300J of energy
Srimech: Axe
Speed: 17MPH
Transmission: a 4 wheeled version of TerrorHurtz: 4 x 9:52 ger ratio, but with magmotors in place of Bosch 750€™s
Turning Circle: 0m
Ground clearance: 0 at the scoop and wedge edge, 2mm the rest of the way around
Wheel Type: Vulcanised Aluminium, 130mm diameter
Body Shape: scoop fronted, wedged back
Armour: 12mm HDPE all over, and 3.2mm Hardox wedge piece that runs the width at the front. All panels are shock mounted on rubber bushings, plus HDPE is generally absorbing anyway
Colour: Black with flame face on scoop and name in blood writing on side, devil head on rear wedge
Strengths: EXTREMELY powerful axe, relentless in attacking (until a robot is immobile)
Weakness: Spinners

Name: Sheer Hell
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 150cm x 80cm x 120cm
Shape: low angle-fronted box with disc on the front like 13 black and rear 259 style Disc
Weapons: A front mounted Horizontal spinning disc and a rear mounted vertical spinning disc, both running at 4500rpm and delivering a blow of 45kj
Top Speed: 13 mph
Transmission: 4 Rubbertex coated aluminium wheels (Rubbertex is a grippy rubber substance used on the K*bot tables) run on a Smidsy type wheel system, and run by a pair of Bosch 400€™s and a bank of Ni-cads to give me more weight for armour
Armour: 12mm HDPE
GC: 3mm either side and back, 7mm under the disc at the front, variable at the sides of the disc
Srimech: powerful electric arms mounted on the top
Turning Circle: 0cm
Strengths: devastating weapons
Weakness: Other spinners
Notes: will NEVER turn the vertical flywheel into an opponent as it will throw SH over. Also, counter-acting discs (vertical 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: 50 Bar 2 pivot pneumatic flipper, 100mm bore, 180mm stroke ram powered by CO2, which generates a force to throw a 100kg robot 20ft up and 15ft across. The mechanism is a 4 bar flipper, but the rear arms sit much lower in the robot than those of Storm 2 and Biohazard. I will try and get a picture.
Top speed: 15mph
Transmission: just like Razer€™s
GC: 0 at the front, 2mm down the side, 4mm at the back end
Turning Circle: 0cm
Armour: 6mm aluminium and steel alloy
Strengths: Can win with one weapon shot
Weakness: Limited Gas supply, 2 stage self right
Notes: 4 wheels, the rear two of which are Razer type, so the flipper is always facing its opponent.

The self righter: Look for a video on YouTube of Biohazard fighting Vlad in early RW, and yu will see what I mean by 2 stage self righting, but FH does it considerably quicker.

MW:
Hell Fire

Weight: 50kg
Dimensions: 120x110x40cm
Shape: low slung wedge
Weapons: Powerful pneumatic flipping arm that has a 3.2mm Hardox 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 4mm 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: 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 CO2 powered pneumatic axe run off two rotation air motors, run at 120PSI
Transmission:2x 18v Team Whyachi TWR18 motors on 24v, running Team Whyachi grippy rubber tyres for a metal floor, Robochallenge classic blue wheels for wooden floors. Both are 75mm diameter
Speed: 12 MPH
GC: 0 at the wedge point, 2mm at the front side varying to 11mm at the rear
Srimech: The axe, the weight of which pulls it over so it cannot rest on its side. Make SURE you remember that.
Armour: 10mm HDPE (sides and back), 3mm Steel (scoop, lid)
Strengths: The axe
Weakness: the armour may not stand up to strong FW spinners, but should prove good enough

AW: Stewie
Weight: 150g
Dimensions (LWH): 12 x 10 x 3cm
Shape: curved wedge with flipper atop
Weapons: HPXF servo powered flipper, run on 7.4v (Li-po), the flipper blade is 1mm Ti
Transmission: 2 x Presision Micro-drives 50:1 gear motors, 1.5cm wheels
Speed: 2MPH
GC: 4mm at the back down to 1mm at the front, and the flipper runs along the floor
Srimech: The Flipper
Armour: 1mm Polcarbonate lid, 6mm Polycarb sides and 4mm base, with Ti on the weapon
Strengths: High speed and manuverability
Weakness: A little too quick sometimes

Weird Alice - Poison - Alice Cooper

And Paul, from a neutral point of veiw, something about your robot. You say 4 lem motors, yes ? and its for skid steer ?

I would advise looking into Storm 2. He requires only 2 Lem motors to power 6 wheels and it too is a skid steer robot, but can also spin on the spot due to the middle wheels being slightly bigger (only a few mm or so)

Due to popular demand, here is...

Tactics? Predictions? Comments? You know the drill... :)

Alex McW (or Matty, depending on who gets in first, but it seems unlikely that Matty will :P) needs his bots in, and we are missing Franks last entrant, but other than that, this looks to be quite good!

Now, the arena...

The FVA Arena

Its just like your average arena...except...everything. :proud: We have...

- a 25 x 20 m rectangular space for your bots to move around in :proud:
- a pit near the upper-right corner
- a flame pit across from it near the bottom-right corner
- one pair of kill saws in the upper-left corner, and another in between the flame pit and regular pit
- a pit release button to the right of the lower-left corner
- Four CPZs for our house robots, including good old Refbot :proud:
- Four floor flippers in the CPZs (will come into play when the house robots are not on them)
- When half the match (150 minutes) has gone by, the middle of the floor will open up, which reveals a 1.5m diameter chrome-dome :proud: that rises up above the ground and acts as a huge hazard for the rest of the match, with 4 giant serrated chrome-plated Hardox blades. This monstrous hazard is called The Death Egg (credit to Steve :)).
- the Discs of Death from the Battlegrounds arena, one on the middle of each wall like the angle grinders of RW
- 50cm high 30mm Hardox walls and a 30mm Steel floor. No wooden floors :P

No CAD, though, sorry. (If you REALLY want one, that can be arranged :P)

As for the line-ups, they look great, AJ! :) Ill have a go at predicting next post. :)

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League - Kody Kunzs tactics and predictions

Heat A

Do or Die vs. Salamander III vs. Axe to Fall vs. Grim Reaper

Grim Reaper to go, and I think Do or Die or Axe to Fall to join the Reaper.

Wedge Devolution vs. ??? vs. Death Threat 0.2 vs. Topsy Turvy

Wedge Devo through...and maybe Death Threat as well.

Heat winner: Wedge Devo or Salamander

Heat B
Catus Catus 8.1 vs. Ge5orce vs. Bloody Mary vs. Killotine: EVO

Killotine and Ge5orce easily.

Weapon Synergy Unleashed vs. Secret vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs. MeCannibal 3.0

Sorry, Daniel, but I do not think you will last long here. MeCannibal has improved greatly now, and it wont one-hit KO itself...but its still going out...of the arena. XD

Heat winner: Ge5orce, Killotine, and Die-Ceratops have the best chances.

Heat C
Disco 5 vs. SoR X vs. Cyclone Force 3 vs. The Botles Reunited

Disco through for sure...its between SoR X and Cyclone Force to make it through.

The May Tracks Has You vs. Nidhogg vs. Blue Sparks vs. Requiem

May Tracks through...Nidhogg to join.

Heat winner: Disco 5

Heat D
Leprosy Infection vs. The Quaestor III vs. Turbo Tails vs. Apocalypse

Turbo Tails out...probably Quaestor to join him out.

Wedginator Devilution vs. Masamune vs. Baldur vs. Star 69

I was wondering when my bots would appear. :proud: Right, Baldur is no threat, but its no use going after anyway, so Ill ignore it and attack the other two. Masamune looks an excellent shape to toss OOTA if I can get it from the side, and Star 69 looks stackable.

Heat winner: Leprosy Infection

Heat E
Gabriel III vs. Hatchet: EVO vs. ??? vs. Champagne

Depends, but Gabriel will scrape through most likely.

ISDSFA vs. Slammer VI vs. Dolce vs. Axes of Evil

Dolce can cause problems for ISDSFA...it and the new Slammer to go through.

Heat winner: Slammer or Gabriel.

Heat F
Gulp vs. Achilles vs. The 6isc vs. Sithis

Does anybody get the feeling that Achilles is becoming overrated? :proud: Sithis and The 6isc through.

The Zodiac vs. ??? vs. Sheer Heart Attack 2 vs. Panicking Still?

KILL THEM ALL! SPIN UP, TEAR THEM APART, SHOW THEM NO MERCY! :proud:

Heat winner: If its not me, itll be The 6isc.

Heat G
Systematic Shocker vs. Sheer Hell vs. DreamCatcher vs. Dreadnaught

Uh...bye Dreadnaught. I think Systematic Shocker will crash out as well.

Tri-Tainium vs. Tengu VII vs. The Deer vs. All Scoop And No Stab Make Steve A Dull Boy

The Deer and All Scoop through. Tengu is strong but The Deer is stronger.

Heat winner: The Deer or All Scoop.

Heat H
St. Hammer vs. Crimson Thunder vs. Eye of Ran vs. PsycloniZer

Crimson Thunder and PsycloniZer, for me.

Intriguer vs. Hot Sauce vs. Spring-BOK! vs. Under Pressure

Martijns horizontal crusher...assuming thats what its going to be, I propose a team-up with Chezza and take it out, since Hot Sauce looks to be quite promising seeing it strut its stuff in VV. :proud: Drive straight into the loving arms of Under Pressure and hack it to death, try and get it into the pit. Then focus on Chris comedy bot.

Heat winner: PsycloniZer or Hot Sauce

Heat I
Lethal Execution vs. Namie€™s Style vs. Flaming Hell vs. Rammy Mk 3

Flaming Hell through, Martyn out, one of the other two to join Flaming Hell.

Super Gore Revo vs. Knyfe vs. ??? vs. Black Panther

Taking out another of Pauls overweight vapourbots...time for the piercing claws. Go for Knyfes side and crunch in, and drag to pit. Repeat with the unknown vapour. Black Panther doesnt sound too promising to attack so avoid it.

Heat winner: Flaming Hell

Heat J
Cat With Wheels vs. The Rock vs. Dervish: Generation X vs. Flick of the Wrist

Flick through for sure, dunno wholl join.

Monolith vs. ??? vs. Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Brutalis 2.0

Id say Spin Dash Unleashed has this battle in the bag.

Heat winner: Honestly, I cant pick between Flick or Spin Dash. :proud:

Heat K
DVD: The Sequel vs. Wedga€™s Revenge vs. ??? vs. Juiced Oil

Two drums...I think Wedga is toast. :proud:

Supreme vs. The Saint vs. Life & Death vs. E Clawdius Unum

SUPREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME! :proud: Clawdius will likely cruise alongside him.

Heat winner: Supreme.

Heat L
Heyght vs. With or Without You vs. Macduff the 3rd vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution

Box-rush the hell out of Tempest using the long wedge. Feed it to Without You and watch them both die, then shove With you into the pit, thus giving Paul a ticket through. :proud:

Weird Alice vs. Noo Monsoon vs. Leviathan vs. ???

Noo Monsoon definitely through...dunno wholl join him.

Heat winner: Noo Monsoon

Heat M
Another Night At The Bar vs. Sakura vs. Killobite 5.0 vs. Exertion

Oh dear. :sad: This doesnt look to be my fight. Concentrate attacks on Exertion and feed it to the other two spinners. I expect Andy will try to do the same to me so pour on the aggression. If all else fails, box-rush Another Night at the Bar...and feed IT to Sakura. :proud:

Mega Masher 2 vs. No Exceptions vs. Visioned vs. LockJaw Epidemic

Mega Masher gone. Visioned or LockJaw to follow suit.

Heat winner: Another Night at the Bar

Heat N
Seung Mina IV vs. Door Stops vs. Obliteration vs. Back to Rock III

Flip them all out. :proud:

Rupture vs. ??? vs. WORCK-ER vs. Flipping Hell

Rupture to rupture WORCK-ERs chances and go through with Flipping Hell. :proud:

Heat winner: Me :proud: Oh wait...Flipping Hell. :proud:

Heat O
??? vs. Axe-O-Lotl vs. Liar 2 vs. Axeon 3.0

Probably both axes to go through.

Nitro-Gene 4.0 vs. Dante vs. vs. Phoenix Down vs. Disco Boogie

Phoenix Down and Dante through.

Heat winner: Axe-O-Lotl, Axeon, and Phoenix Down are the most likely candidates.

Heat P
Orka MK 4 vs. ArchAngel of the Abyss vs. Hell Machine vs. Forklift 2

ArchAngel and Hell Machine FTW.

Tira IV vs. Pure Evil: Back To Basics vs. Whirligig 4.5 vs. Extravagant

Uhh...complete war of attrition. Id like to get revenge of Whirligig right away but something tells me that would be stupid. In any case, Ill attack Pure Evil straight away and do what I did with Wedga in Returners: try and damage that flipper so it doesnt work. :proud: Then attack whoever has sustained the most damage out of Steve or Chezza.

Heat winner: Whirligig; I hate it, and because I hate it, it keeps winning. Loving it does nothing. :lame:

----

And guess what? IM writing Heat A! :proud: Bwaaaahaha...of course, my predictions for that Heat will differ completely from the actual results...stay tuned! :proud:

OK - if this is fine, this is Nitro-Gene 5.0, the replacement Nitro which I intend to enter.

NITRO-GENE 5.0

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox monocoque for the body. 5mm Hardox flipper. Inside the body, there€™s 1cm of Vulkanised rubber on the sides and rear, with 3cm on the front to help fight powerful spinners, and theres also 5cm of PU foam covering the motors and flipper rams inside for protection.

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with sides and rear angled in a shape, with the rear angled . The front is completely flat, making it useful at hitting into things and bashing. All the lines have been curved over to make it harder for a spinner to grab onto a panel and rip.

€ MOTORS: 4 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 36HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels, each is 20mm in diameter, and they€™re also 180mm in diameter.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 75CM (Extension included) (H) 15CM (W) 70CM

€ COLOUR: Dark Blue all over with the flipper coloured red with the name imblazed on the flipper (running vertically down the robot) in gold writing with a thick silver outline. All the edges of the robot are coloured gold.

€ WEAPONRY: A full pressure Nitrogen powered flipper at 1000psi, using a single 90mm ram at 1000psi. The flipper is mounted in the middle of the robot, and is 20cm wide and runs 60cm up the body. Using a 5cm long 10mm thick Titanium wedge underneath the flipper, and a heavy flipping arm, the flipper runs completely along the ground. Running on a ratio 2.2:1, the flipper produces 1600kg of force at the tips, allowing me to launch anyone away! This version has enough lift to get a robot of equal size 11-6ft into the air, and throw it 11-6ft along. This version has 2 x 1.5kg Nitrogen bottles, giving me 23 flips! The flipper has enough power to self-right Nitro-Gene 5.0 in a super stylish 540* somersault!

€ SPEED: 18mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0CM-1CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the skirted sides/rear, its 1cm. 4mm Titanium skirts held on by Hardox hindges are mounted on the sides/rear and join up at the corners, making it harder to get under.

€ STRENGTH: Pushing power and weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: High ground clearance underneath skirts.

PAUL!!!

WHEN. WILL. YOU. GET. THE. FACT. THROUGH. YOUR. HEAD. THAT. HARDOX. ARMOUR. AND. 4. LEM130S. AND. A. FULL. PRESSURE. NITROGEN. FLIPPER. WILL. NOT FIT. IN. A. 100KG. ROBOT????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

Not accepted.

What if I made it 2 x LEM130s but ran them at 48V?

Near borderline, but that would be okay.
