How could I Improve pt 2

Hey guys, at long last I make a new vapour€¦

Name: ooh! Im dizzy€¦or O.I.D for short lol
Shape: an equilateral triangle, with what would be the pointed bit as the front.
Weight: 100kgs
Drive: 2x Lem130€™s, powered by 5x NiCad Battlepacks.
Armor: 5mm hardox all around, but at the back there is a 7mm hinged hardox wedge.
Locomotion: 2 Vulkalon coated wheels
Weaponry: the best bit! It has a nasty 20kg horizontal spinning disk, sunk slightly inside the robot, made out of 8mm hardox with 6mm teeth, its powered by a LEM-130 Lynch spinning at 4000RPM.
Dimensions: 99x90x33
Scrimec: it is invertable
Strenghs: strong, tough, destructive
Weakness: untested in battle

What do you think?

ok revised stats

Okay... This is my first time reviewing anything without messing up.

The robot looks fine, but there's 1 problem you'll need to address: The wedge at the back. If your robot gets flipped, what's that wedge going to do for you?

erm...its hinged so if i get flipped it flaps down so its level with the ground again (it does say a HINGED wedge in the stats).

Oh... And I forgot: You didn't post the bot's ground clearance.

its 7mm at the sides and back, and 5mm at the front.

so...

Shape: an equilateral triangle, with what would be the pointed bit as the front.
Weight: 100kgs
ground clearance: 7mm at the sides and rear, and 5mm at the front
Drive: 2x Lem130€™s, powered by 5x NiCad Battlepacks.
Armor: 3.2mm hardox all around, but at the back there is a 5mm hinged hardox wedge.

Now that look right! A bit of spell-check could help, and the robot probably won't win a tourney its first time out, but it looks fine now.

A new robot to replace Side Swipe, who has clearly survived too long...

Tank
Weight: 100kg
Shape: King B Powerworks
Colour: Green and brown Camouflage
Dimensions: 100cm x 75cm x 20cm
Drive: 4x 24v S28-400 Magmotors, powered by 6x NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 4 solid rubber wheels, with aluminum boron carbide hubs.
Armour: 15mm Polycarbonate
Speed: 25mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to spikes, 20mm at back, and 5mm at sides.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapons: At the front, there's a 3-pronged lifting spike at the front. It scrapes the arena floor, making it 0mm at the front. At the rear, there's a large 8kg horizontally-mounted circular saw powered by a standard 24v S28-150 Magmotor. The blade spins at 1000rpm, and produces massive amounts of sparks.
Srimech: It is invertible.
Strengths: It looks cool.
Weaknesses: Weak armor.

A few things to note:

1) The name Tank is taken by Alex MacWillaims' HW vapourbot.

2) 25mph is not needed; it will prove too hard to control

3) polycarb is any thickness isn't really strong armour, you might want to switch to something stronger...

4) why do you put strengths and weaknesses? it is not a good idea to put them there in the first place (as I have learned)

5) What powers the front lifter? what's it made of? what's the saw made of?

6) Simply stating a robot to go by the shape is not a good idea, as you have been told countless times. Some people may not have seen King B Powerworks before... :P

Apart from that, it's fine. :proud:

Modifying it...
