Mechanical Noise - Series 2

Im sorry to notice this Kody, but...

Heat D
Achilles (7)
MeCannibal
Jack Kennedy
Seung Mina II
Killotine: EVO
Take Me Out

Ah, there I am. MeCannibal, Jack Kennedy and Take Me Out Im not too worried about, just Killy and the seed. Flip, flip, until I drop.

I dont think you understand what MeCannibal is like. Its a ring spinner, with an output of 215kj per hit! It also has a skirt around the edge that rises when the ring is spinning, but drops if it doesnt. If the ring does work, this is what will happed:

Take Me Out will die in one blow - I can here the aluminium breaking up, and being torn now - and I probably wont get to fight it!
Killotine wont do anything to hurt me - the axe has to pierce 5mm of Hardox on top to do something, and I can easily out-push it!
I dont know about Kodys machine or Jack Kennady.

But I DONT want to fight Achilles, as Im scared of it!

Hahaha, well I can understand you not being scared. if its anything liek your other designs its massively overweight. Plus 215kj per hit, youre more liekly to destroy yourself first as theres no weigh you have weigh tallowances for all the shock proofing youd need. give me a 50kj spinner any day with a bit of shockproofing. still enough to do some nice damamage and you wont blow up into a plot hole in the process.

Matty, Ive stated in my stats that there is 3 inches of Titanium foam to shock-proof it from self-destructing. And my machine is not overweight. Martijn wouldve siad so - hes inspected all my machines and they are ALL legal

this is all rather twofold; on one hand, I know I dont have the engineering knowledge shared by some of you to accurately state what something will weigh, on the other hand, were all working with estimates here to get something of approximately 100 kg

if anything though, I do feel a tad of overconfidence from your side Paul :wink:

Sorry, Martijn, Im just very eager :proud:.

Also, Ive researched into the robots challenging mine, and Ive been looking into the stats (and pictures if possible) to find a design problem that will allow me to take advantage.

And although in MeCannibals heat, everyone has a perfectly designed machine (Not over-confident now, am I?:wink:) I reckon I beat them. With the exception of Achilles, I can beat them quite easily.

Well of course you think you can beat them quite easily, as youre new here and expecting to do well. Just dont act surprised when most of your machines get beaten. :wink:

Oh, by the way Martijn. MeCannibals weight should actually measure out at 110kg, as its a shuffler, and Im using the allowence to give me the damaging power.

Riiiiiight. :proud:

Anyway, were waiting for the real line-ups, Martijn. Anytime youre ready. :)

Kody, we wont get the real line-ups until Matty posts almost all of his stats and Alex posts the stats for Snijder and Return Of Feedback

So hurry up please:lame:

Ill hurry up when you shut up!

And Ill shut up when you hurry up!:mrgreen:

I guess someone forgot to give Paul his sedative today. :proud:

I dont need sedative! Im perfectly normal
:proud::proud::proud:
(Not)

Right... some stuff... I know Matty is busy and I know hell deliver. Right now I suggest Matty to put Boxing Clever on top of his priority list, since thatll give me everything I need to kick Heat A of :proud:.
Alex... I havent seen him in a while, and Im kinda worried about receiving his stats.

Another thingy... Kody, I need more power on my part of our Boards, Ill kick you on msn when I spot you :proud:

No need, you now have full admin powers. :wink:

Martijn. Is this actually looking nearly ready to go? Im desperate!

waiting for Boxing Clevers stats

OK. By the way Martijn, well done for beating me in Daves new Tourney:mrgreen:. Its really made me relise what can happen if you appear over-confident.

why thank you :proud:

I think I shall go over to ARC and bug Alex MacWilliams again. :proud:

ty Kody

I have been busy myself as well... busy to get stuff going that is!!! The entrants, the seeds and the draw can now be found at Kodys&my board, here:

I love to serve :proud:

Damn. Internet still chippy. Ill do it later.

Could use some backup *Tony*.

Ive been bugged so I guess Ill say that I cant wait for this to start :D

Stats for Snijder and Return of Feedback should be up Saturday. I know I always delay them but I swear this time :P

great Alex, right now, Mattys Boxing Clever is all I need to kick this thing off!!!:proud:

Ill try and get it done today among the million other things =/

Sorry to ask now, but can AJ give me the power of Psycloniseds spinning ring? Im just curious and I want to know if it break 10mm Hardox

Okay its not TECHNICALLY Saturday anymore but I finally got Return of Feedback and Snijders stats up. I also managed to update The Windmills pic (it was looking pretty crappy lol). Oh, and I updated Flank Attacks armor just a tad and slowed him down just a tad. Should help for better control and to better face spinners =D

Anyway heres the final list:

a. Flank Attack: DT

Alex, Return Of Feedback looks great! Well done.

Sorry Martijn, I feel really bad for asking this, but Id like to change a robot in my line-up. Grizzly Bear should be erased for all eternity as it was a rubbish idea. As Id like to replace him with a new machine called DOWN-FORCE

DOWN-FORCE

€ WEIGHT: 100KG

€ ARMOUR: 5MM MONOCUQUE HARDOX ON FRONT REAR AND TOP. 6MM ALUMINIUM BORON CARBIDE FOR THE SIDES

€ SHAPE: BOX WITH SLANTED SIDES AND REAR

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM 130 AT 46V = 18HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 x VULKALON TREADED WHEELS ON TOP AND BOTTOM ALA BIG NIPPER

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 50CM (W) 50CM (H) 35CM

€ COLOUR: BLACK FOR THE BODY, SILVER FOR THE CRUSHING WEAPON AND SCOOP COMBO

€ WEAPONRY: THE WEAPON FOR THIS IS A BIG NIPPER STYLE CRUSHING/LIFTING ARM, BUT INSTEAD OF CLAWS TO LIFT WITH, IT HAS A SCOOP WITH AN EXTENSION AND A RAZER STYLE CRUSHER. THE WEAPONS LIFTS AND CRUSHES WITH A FORCE OF 5 TONNES! IF THE ROBOT IS FLIPPED THE CLAW IS USELESS, BUT LIKE BIG NIPPER, IT CAN SELF-RIGHT!

€ SPEED: 23MPH

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM - 5MM. 3.25MM HARDOX SPRUNG SKIRTS ON THE SIDES AND REAR MAKE IT A NIGHTMARE TO GET UNDER.

€ STRENGTH: POWER, SPEED AND WEAPONS MAKE IT A TOUGH MACHINE

€ WEAKNESS: IF FLIPPED, THE WEAPON CAN€™T BE USED, BUT IT CAN ALWAYS SELF-RIGHT!

Im sorry for sugesting at such a point into the beginning of the competition, but Id really appreciate it Martijn.

Thanks Paul :D CADing him was really fun since it was actually a simple design where I knew exactly what I wanted. That, and I finally got the damn shader on Rhino to work :P

Ok Paul, thing here is, you KNOW what Heat Grizzly Bear is in so you KNOW the opponents Down-Force will face, this gives you an advantege.

You know what, Im gonna make this a poll... everyone can state wether or not Pauls allowed the change Ill run the poll till Monday at midnight, Dutch time.

START VOTING!!!

and TY Alex :proud:

Snijder FTW :proud:

And as for Psyclonised breaking Hardox, it depends what you mean by break. It can dent it and maybe give it some minor holes but nothing is going to tear through that stuff. For that matter, which bot has 10mm Hardox armour? Im thinking weight check here... Anyway, Psyclonised is more of an impact hitter than a traditional FBS that rips things to shreds. So to answer the question no it cant break 10mm thick Hardox.

For the vote, Id say no because the draw has already been made. However we dont know exactly which bots it will face yet... but still, I dont think it has been allowed in tournaments before this.

Im voting against as well. If Pauls allowed to do it, thered be nothing to stop me or anyone else also updating their line up with new creations. Bad precedent, sorry Paul.

Im voting against as well :proud:.

The reason I asked if Psyclonised could hurt 10mm Hardox is that Sky-Blast in Heat A belongs to me, and its front and top armour is 10mm Hardox. Since I know this, Ill feel a lot calmer about Heat A.

I have a 10mm hardox ramplate on my robot but since I know squat about weight I might just reduce it or something. The ramplate isnt huge or anything so it might be okay but whatever lol

Even though Im crap at making stats, at least I have cool renders :P

A couple of pannels should be OK, but bear in mind Hardox is pretty heavy, especially in comparrison to Aluminum or Titanium. But for its weight, youre getting a seriously tough material - Id say 8mm thick of it would probably stop the majority of spinners round here. Also remember very few spinners can attack the top, in which case 10mm Hardox there is a bit overkill. There arent many axes around either, so its probably best to either choose a different material or shorten the thickness there.

Looking at the stats for Sky-Blast, 20mm Ali is probably pushing it too. I highly doubt 80hp is capable with that drive train, 32mph is just too fast and the ground clearence is on the short side. But hey, I always cheat as well so dont take my word for it! :proud:

What do you mean cheat? I only look at some of the stuff in other peoples stats and say that looks cool, Ill try that, virtually everyone does.

The reason the top is 10mm Hardox is because the top works as a flipper, and it joins to the front wedge, which flips in conjunction.

The motors are 4 of the same used in ForcePower, but I didnt go so much into overkill and settle for 80hp.

The ground clearance is 2mm, which is more than enough to move freely and I geared it to 32mph to make it tough to grab. Its one of those machines that can ram to destroy or flip OOTA if not.

Now thats out of the way, if anyone wishes to complain about me any further, I would like it if everyone could just lay off. Please.

Paul, its a fact that youre the new guy here and youll have alot to learn before being competitive. Youre stats may be a bit off right now, so listen to advise and youll turn out allright!

I dont lok at other peoples stats at all... I resent that.
