Update:
Thank you VERY ****ing much to a train that never turned up, causing me to miss the coach I needed, I wont be going to the funeral. Im expecting the new processor some time around the start of next week so Ill get my stats in then.
...Arriva trains is a contradiction in terms:angry:
Ive just noticed a mistake I made when entering Ankle Biter the Second. In the dimensions section, its actually in cm, not mm as I mistakenly put. Can you keep this in mind please Rich?
Update the 2nd:
Thanks to a last minute idea from mum, and about a £35 taxi ride and some very nice people in the coach company, I will be going. Stats in next Saturday hopefully.
...Arriva still suck.
Fargo suck even more frank
Who says WKJGW stands for anything?:wink:
2000VP if you can guess. In fact, if I like it more than what it *doesnt* stand for, I might even change it.
VGER
mass:
Stainless Steel Frame - 20.43866 (1 cm thick predominantly, 2cm on the underbelly and parts of the lifting fork.)
Titanium Armor - 26.14416 (top - .764 cm, bottom - .508 cm)
Wheels - included in the Ti Armor estimate, .635 cm thick, solid, rubber treads
S28-400 magmotors x 2 - 6.182
S28-300 magmotor - 2.500
Flywheel - ~10.000 kg, mostly in the teeth.
Maxtor controller - ~1.000 kg
EV Warrior - 1.472 kg
Husqvarna 3120XP - 10.409
NiMh 24v Battlepacks x 3 - 3.6
TOTAL - 81.746 KG
Weapon - Circular flywheel, 8.4 hp (6.2 kW), spins at 1:2 reduction for 5000 rpm. If Aarons desperate for a kJ estimate, I can give him one. Its pretty modest though. I was aiming for a weapon that wouldnt break after one hit, like many others in the tournament probably should.
Frame - Stainless 400 Steel
Armor - Titanium (thickness on the mass chart)
Srimech - Lifting plate can self-right the robot in any position in 1-2 flips. NOT INVERTIBLE. Expect a motion diagram of the robot self-righting on my avatar soon.
Wheels - 15 mph, like 90% of the other robots youll ever see. 2 S24 mags power it at 24 volts. 60-amp continuous cell discharge, which is pretty good for single packs weighing only 1.2 kg each.
Clearance - HUGE. 6.985 cm mostly, although the wheels and the rear wedge make full contact with the ground obviously.
Strengths -
--Internal Combustion Engine has an EV Warrior starter motor, in case it stalls during a fight.
--Powerful flywheel with adjustible height. Rides at 5.04 cm when level, minimum height - 3.81 cm, maximum height - 6.34, doesnt matter too much though.
--Lifter can LIFT any ~100 kg robot, and can flip some opponents, depending on the angle I get, and the distribution of their weight.
--Theres enough extra weight (15 kg worth) for (1) a robot trap that lengthens the rear lifter significantly (2) ablative 2024 ali armor (which either covers the wheels or the robots top), or (3), replacing the flywheel, a stainless steel scoop for the front, which Ill likely never need *glares at Aaron*
Weaknesses -
--Not a good pushybot.
--Certain spinner designs will probably be able to stop it no matter what (Im thinking cage spinners on this one).
--Top Heavy to a large extent, though its wide enough and distributed enough to not affect turning or driving, itll usually land upside-down if flipped.
I will add ABR when Im done with it. I had to rebuild both from scratch obviously, but I think the new versions are far supurior to what Id been using.
Ill have a go Matty-

Windiest. Killer. Just. Got. Windier.
What Kind of Jackass Got Walloped?
Worse Train Company ...
... South West Trains, not for the delays, but the cost of travel.
To get from where I live (just outside Andover, Hants) to London Waterloo, it costs £24, no wonder why so many people take the car.
Is that VGer on your profile, Nick? And I still need six other robots from you.
1 more space left if Alex and Tom B enter! Still awaiting stats from Scott, Frank (hes explained why he hasnt given them, so no worries, Frank) and Aaron.
I hardly ever use trains, so I cant give much of an opinion on which company is worst.
