(Message edited by joeychevron on March 27, 2008)
Biohazard, Vlad the impaler, hypno-disc, chaos 2, razer, the matador, war-head. 7 robots
Infusion - New version to come
Wyfe Beater - To finish design
Kingler - To finish design/stats
MDU 4.1 - To finish design/stats
Attraction - Needs render finished
Kinetic Intent - Needs render finished
Black & White - Small upgrades
Wheel O Misfortune - New version to come
All right, Andre, I will let you in only if someone wants to team up with you, but I cant promise anything.
Who would like to team up with him? :)
At least 1 more entrant needed. Dave? Tony? Alex MW? Chezza?
Stats coming later today :)
Alright. :)
Still one more person needed.
Robot Name: Drumroll SR
Shape: Box wedge shape (with the wedge pointing to the rear) with killer drum attached to the front. Small wedge-forks are fitted at the front to guide opponent robots up to the drum.
Colour: Sides and wedge are a fabby metallic blue, while the drum itself is white with the teeth painted red
Speed: 14mph
Armour:4mm hardox sides underneath an 8mm layer of HDPE, 4mm hardox rear wedge (sloped at 45*), 6mm aluminium base (with lightening holes) and 12mm HDPE top panel
Drive: A pair of PMG 080 Perm motors running at 24V through custom-made 12:1 ratio gearboxes driving 200mm wheels.
Power: 2 x 36V 4500mAh Nicad packs connected in parallel. Dual rates on the transmitter ensure that the drive motors receive a maximum of 24V
Motivation: A pair of 200mm wheels custom-made from HDPE (like Tough as Nails) with go-kart tyre tread screwed on
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front forks rising to 8mm at the back (Sides slope from 0mm-8mm)
Turning Circle: 0
Dimensions: 90cm x 80cm x 18cm
Weaponry: A front-facing spinning drum weighing in at 14kg with Hardox 650 bar-teeth bolted/welded on. It is powered by two LEM-130 motors running at 36V on a 1.5:1 ratio belt-drive to the drum and is capable of delivering 6 kJ of energy per hit
Srimech: None - can run both ways up
Notes: A scaled up version of my featherweight robot Drumroll
Robot Name: Dr. Acula (yes I€™ve been watching Scrubs recently)
Shape: T-shaped robot with all the components (drive, batteries, weapon components) mounted in a long compartment at the back of the robot (i.e. the horizontal line of the T-shape) with two crushing claws connected together therefore moving as one sitting in the middle of the component pod and coming out at right angles to it.
Colour: The body is all black but the claws are white with red €˜blood€™ effects on the tips
Speed: 20mph max
Armour:4mm hardox for the front and back of the component pod again with 8mm HDPE covering it. It has 6mm hardox protecting the wheels, which are located at either end of the pod. The claws are made out of 8mm hardox and have 12mm titanium tips while the wedge for the other robots to ride up to the claw is angled 4mm hardox.
Drive: A pair of 12V Bosch 400W motors running at 24V through a 10:1 chain drive reduction onto 254mm (standard 10€Â) go-kart wheels.
Power: 4 x 24V 3000mAh Nicad packs in parallel
Motivation: 254mm go-kart wheels, chain driven
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front where the wedge of the claw touches the ground. 10mm everywhere else
Turning Circle: 0
Dimensions: 125cm x 80cm x 50cm
Weaponry: A pair of crushing claws that bite down, powered by two LA36 Linak linear actuator, both rated at 10000N (1 tonne).
Srimech: Can run inverted but claw becomes ineffective upside-down
Notes: Although this robot may not crush with as much devastation as the likes of Razer, it still has enough power to pierce and deform (more easily) forms of plastic armour such as polycarb or HDPE top panels. 1 tonne of force is also plenty to grip with allowing Dr. Acula to take his victims wherever in the arena he pleases :)
Robot Name: Firefly
Shape: Curvy box-shaped rammer with actuated plough/wedge.
Colour: Yellow body (black highlighty bits here and there) with natural-material colour for the plough
Speed: 22mph
Armour: Welded box-section chassis armoured with 8mm titanium covers.
Drive: A pair of LEM-130 motors running at 48V through 10:1 ratio gearboxes driving four 254mm go-kart wheels
Power: 4 x 24V 3700mAh Nicad packs connected in series and parallel.
Motivation: Four wheel drive using 254mm go-kart wheels; gearbox output shaft connected to front wheels with chains taking drive to the rear wheels.
Ground Clearance: 8mm all round, but 0mm at the plough when it€™s touching the ground.
Turning Circle: 0
Dimensions: 90cm x 80cm x 24cm
Weaponry: A plough/wedge that runs at the front of the robot (a bit like a snow-plough). It pivots just past the centre of the robot, mounted on a shaft. This shaft is connected via heavy-duty chain to a custom-built gearbox, all driven by a LEM-170 motor. It powers the plough so it can act as a lifter, and travels 90* from horizontal to vertical
Srimech: None - can run both ways up, weapon also effective both ways up (ala Big Nipper)
Notes: Inspired by a machine from Thunderbirds and adapted to suit robotic combat
I will add five real robots to these three (sorry I know its cheating a bit but it always takes me longer than I think to make up vapourbots - will get my own whole team made up one of these days :P)
Big Nipper
Sewer Snake
Tough As Nails
Pussycat
Kronic
(all current versions of real robots)
Ill try and get some pics drawn of my vapourbots just to make it easier to visualise them, doubt Ill have them ready before the start of the tourney though.
Anything you think I need to change, just let me know :)

So I need at least one more person.
My Vapours:
Name: Namies Style
Shape: Low box with front wedge.
Colour: Gold, skirts are silver, flipper is black.
Speed: 13mph
Armour: 5.5mm Hardox, and 5mm Titanium skirts. 8mm polycarbonate for the top and the underbelly
Drive: 2 LEM130s, 36 volts
Power: 6 NiCad Battlepacks, 36 volts
Motivation: 4 wheels, Vulkalon rubber on them
Ground Clearance: Wedge - 0mm. 6mm for the rest, but the skirts make it 0mm.
Dimensions: 80cm x 60cm x 20cm
Weapons: Rear-hinged low-pressure flipper, powered by 2 2kg CO2 tanks and a single pneumatic ram. Can flip 250kg and fires about 30-35 times in a fight. Can right it too.
Srimech: It runs upside down, or inverted.
Strengths: A really good all-rounder.
Weaknesses: First-time rookie: top and bottom armour vulnerable.
Name: Secret
Shape: Very low invertible box.
Colour: Body cyan, skirts light green, disc white with grey teeth.
Speed: 12mph
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 7mm titanium, 5mm titanium skirts
Drive: 2 S28-400 MagMotors running on 24 volts
Power: 4 NiCad Battlepacks running on 24 volts
Motivation: 2 wheel drive, Vulkalon rubber on the wheels for traction
Ground Clearance: 5mm under side and rear skirts.
Turning Circle: 0
Dimensions: 105cm x 70cm x 10cm
Weapons: Horizontal disc running on 2 S28-400 MagMotors on 24v. The disc is made of hardox, has a diameter of 60cm and weighs 17.5kg. The two 15cm long teeth are also made of hardox and weigh 2.25kg each, so the entire disc weighs 22kg, and thanks to that KE calculator, it produces 97.64kJ. Has a spin-up time of about 4.5 seconds.
Srimech: Invertible.
Strengths: Destructive weapon, good all-rounder otherwise.
Weaknesses: Tires can be hit by axes and crushers, high spin-up time for disc.
Real ones:
Razer (S6)
Typhoon 2 (S7)
Turbulence (most recent)
Mechavore
Dantomkia (most recent)
Hexadecimator (RoboGames 2006)
(Message edited by Chezza on March 28, 2008)
Thanks for that, Chezza. :) Now, who wants to team-up? We have two more teams needed, and if nobody wants to team up with Andre...hes out.
(Message edited by kodster on March 28, 2008)
Martyn, Jamie, Andre and Chezza havent paired up, so no one has to be kicked out. =)
Yeah. I agree with Daniel on this one.
Im still for calling my team Varying Dinowarriors, if Martijn agrees.
Im only THINKING of letting Andre in so far. He doesnt have a spot completely.
The reason for me delaying giving Andre a full spot is because I dont want a freak-out from him when his vapourbot goes up against a veteran and everybody predicts him to lose. :P
Its doesnt matter if I lose. Like I said before I came here to have fun.
Beside Im not afraid of anybody even a veteran.
Understandable, but can you guarantee that if you go up against another bot you wont go DESTROY [INSERT BOT HERE]!!! DESTROY [INSERT BOT HERE]!!! DESTROY [INSERT BOT HERE]!!! :angry::angry::angry: again? :P
Im not saying that ok, geez give it a rest already.

lol, Dinowarriors that... vary?
Various Dinowarriors would sound smoother IMO ;)
or Dinowarriors Daily :P
That means dont be rude. That counts as being rude.
Take my advice and dont reply to this.
Yeah Ill take your advice and I wont be very destructive. You have my word.
Very well.
All right, Andres spot is confirmed. :)
Need team names from Martijn&Chris, Samuel&Danny, team requests from Martyn, Jamie, Chezza, and Andre, and some bots from AJ and Martyn.
OK, Various Dinowarriors it is.
Team Simpsons. :mrgreen:
No, Andre, first you have to team up with somebody. Martyn, Jamie, and Chezza dont have a team yet. Perhaps you could team up with one of them?
Sure, Ill choose Chezza.
Hmm... Team names...
Err, T.W.A.L.O.D? Team With A Lot Of Deaths. (Death Threat, Black Death, Death Wish...)
If Samuel has a better idea (shouldnt be hard) go with that.
I was thinking maybe... Team After-Life?
Okay, from what Martyn has told me over MSN, hes looking to get 2 more robots in, but for now hes got these 6:
Disco 5
Star 69
Panicking
Catus Catus
Forklift
Rammy

Mainly Im waiting for Jamie to post whom hed like to team up with. Also Im going to start the CAD of the arena now (after Im done a certain flipperbot :P) :)

So lets see...Andre needs to replace Razer. Also, I need robots and stats from AJ, two robots from Martyn and stats for his entire team, stats from Aaron, and two team-ups and team names from Martyn, Jamie, Chezza, and Andre.
How about Nightmare?
Nightmare is fine. :)
I think Andre/Chezza said theyd team up with the other in an earlier post so that just leaves me and Martyn
You ok to team up Martyn? With the vapourbot rookie that I am :)
Sure. Im ok with the team-up.
ALL RIGHT. :proud:
While Im waiting for some things...
(team names from Martyn/Jamie and Andre/Chezza, bots and stats from AJ, two bots and all stats from Martyn, and stats from Aaron)
...ladies and gentlemen, I present:
[b]http://www.geocities.com/origkody/CRASHBURNARENA.png
Ah, I forgot a little piece of information...
Martyn and Jamie, you need to decide what vapours you guys will pair together (need two more from you Martyn, and no I wont stop bugging you because I am an annoying git :proud:), as do AJ (once he gets his up) and Aaron, and Andre and Chezza.
Looking good...those look more like flywheels than angle grinders though :P
