Rocky Dennis vs. Tri-Tainium: I think that overall, Ill be alright, true he has plenty of power, but he isnt going to get under me FOR SURE - I have more traction. And if I knock Rocky onto his back, he has to self-right. This do this constantly till hes out of gas. If Im lucky, Ill crack his base-panel and go after the insides.
Shadow Zone 1.1 vs. King Rat: Ill go for Joey here.
Paul, I think with 199 kg on the ground as well as 8 wheels, HE has more traction :proud:
Well.... I dont think Im going to have time for designing something from scratch its time for me clusterify it up - its somewhat cheap but nevermind:
Abyssal Swordsmen
Essentially I take Archangel of the Abyss (with modifications ot get to 200kg) and then to the top attach allies, and ontop of that Baldur Gamma, which are essentially velcroed onto the top and ducttaped and held inplace with a few electromagnets. The top of Archangels shell also now has a rubber ridge around the outside so the bots cant slide off on their own.
At the start of the fight it walks in in this form so the robot is a walker. Then, Archangels scrimech fires throwing both machines off the top and I enter the fight with the 3 robots. Achilles will always be using the pnuematic setup and will hence use its t-bar to separate baldur from itself.

Achilles
Weight: 100kg
Shape: box, slightly thicker than tornado, not double sided, sides skirted like Panic Attack, back curved for more efficient srimech (like the original hydra), front is sloped at 45 degrees and tapered inwards so that any hits to the front will go to the reinforced flipper plate€¦ See the image.
Wheels: Four internal cast aluminium wheels (similar to tornados Go Cart wheels in design but only half the width) and using treaded go-kart style tyres of appropriate diameters.
Motors: 4x S28-400 Magmotors at 24v
Speed: 18mph,
Turning circle: 0m
Armour: 5mm titanium and on top 10mm of polyurethane rubber to stop axes and crushers The flipper itself is a hardox frame and front plate (4mm) and the spatula being titanium. The internal rams are mounted onto a hardox crossbar but otherwise the top of the flipper it is now armoured with 10mm polycarbonate and the aforementioned rubber.
Ground clearance: At the front, the flipper spatula essentially gives it a 0 ground clearance, at the sides it would be 5mm but is protected by a 3mm stainless steel skirt
Weapons:
The weapon is a rear pivoted lifting arm, this has two set-ups, plus a small extra mounted weapon for either. To get under the opponent it has a Bigger Brother style lifting plate that runs parallel to the ground resting upon it that gives the machine a really low ground clearance enabling it to get under most things, the front edge of the plate has been filed to a sharp edge.
Set-up 1: Hydraulics
Uses a single hydraulic lifting arm to life opponents of up to 150 kg into the air and tip over up to 400kg. Uses a 120mm bore ram with 40mm stroke and powered using a Vivoil pump
On top of the lifter is a hook mechanism that looks like a tiny claw but performs the same gripping effect as the top mounted behemoth axe. It is not particularly sharp, as it is not designed to cause damage, just to grip the opponent it is powered by a small linear actuator.
Set-up 2: Pneumatics
The second set up is a high-powered pneumatics set-up with a single canister of C02 running at 1000psi providing the power. The addition to this set-up is a small T-shaped bar powered by an actuator which pivots towards the back, enabling Achilles to self right without using up any gas.
Strengths: Very durable, no particular weaknesses for opponent to exploit.
Weaknesses: No damaging weapons.
Now I wait for someone to tear my half arsed design apart... lol
Kody, King Rat told me to tell you he says hi. :)
Shadow Zone vs. KING RAT
Shadow Zone has a flipper, and I do have a rather high ground clearance. Id like to ask Andre whether OOTAs are possible in his arena, as this may make a difference...but basically I have double his weight, one-and-a-half times his speed, and some nice pointy weapons. Avoid the flipper like the plague, go for the sides and ram, axe, push, rinse, repeat. Try and hit the axe into the robot beneath the flipper if possible.
Read allies as achilles...
1. Rocky Dennis vs. Tri-tanium
2. Shadow Zone 1.1 vs. King Rat
3. Achilles vs. ?
4. ? vs. ?
Three more left, so we could get started
What OOTA mean, Joey?
Drive head-on, the super-dense fiber cloth should put up a hard fight against those spinners, and if the cloth gets ripped, the fibers would make a mess of the bearings, and the front steel would make it hard to cause damage.
Out Of The Arena
Oh yes. Out of the arena is possible in this tournament.
