Paul really, stop that.
Seriously, sorry :sad:. Im just really possesive about being a good member of this forum, and Im not a naturally patient person, as a result of my Autism, and I find it a constant annoyance when the only comments about anything on this forum are usually only yours.
Its really annoying when there are only two people posting in every day.
Seriously Paul, you need to tone down your expectations for this forum. This is by far the most action there has been in the facfic section for 2 or 3 years, and if youre looking for even more posts now youll have a huge shock when it goes into a period of no posts for a month like it has before.
So far youre doing great as a new member of this forum but at times youre going to have to accept that from time to time it is going to be dead in this section as other people have far more important things to do.
Couldnt have said it any better myself AJ. :proud:
Wow, AJ after his gold medal for diplomacy... whatever next? Frank without a cup of coffee? Roper coming back :proud:
Answers on a postcard... :wink:
Okay, I want to switch Seung Mina II with a newly designed bot, if thats okay Steve...
Its a design Ive had in my head for a while now, and I finally have stats up for it. :proud:
AVARICE
Shape: I was thinking Slam Job with the middle cut-off, but I decided to go for a Tornado with more of a rounded front end. There is a small front scoop there to defend against wedge attacks, and the usual titanium skirting on the sides and rear.
Colour: Dark orange. Axe head is red.
Weight: 100kg
Speed: 7mph, its not meant to be really fast, but its geared to acceleration.
Drive: 4 S28-150 Magmotors, run at 36v. Very light and still give off pretty good power, especially when there are four of them. :)
Power: 8 CP2400R NiCad Battlepacks, 36v, 2 for each of the MagMotors.
Motivation: Now, this is one of two things that makes this bot unique. It uses Omni-directional drive, exactly like BB middleweight Root Canal; it is 4WD, but instead of tires it uses rollers, with a very thin layer of vulkalon put on them for reassuring but not too reassuring grip on the arena floor. This will allow Avarice to not only go forward, backward, or spin around, but also go diagonally, or strafe from side to side, completely avoiding opposing attackers. Each of the S28s powers a wheel, giving it a good boost of power. Using rollers means it sacrifices speed and traction but thats okay for the huge amount of maneouverability Im gaining.
Armour: 5mm 6063 aircraft aluminum on the top and bottom, and there is 9mm HDPE on the sides.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the scoop and skirts, and without them its 4mm.
Turning Circle: Absolutely positively 100% ZERO turning circle!!! :proud:
Dimensions in CM: Unknown, trying to get a CAD of it done...
Weaponry: Heheh...this is the other half that makes this bot unique: a 360 double-sided axe. It is like Terrorhurtzs axe, except it has a longer reach, and the head is different: it starts like an axe at the bottom of the head then broadens and becomes like a hammer, meaning when it comes down it will split armour and then make it the hole wider, and it is like that on both sides. What it makes it a rotating axe is a turret ala Tazbot, controlled independently with its own turn motor and speed controller. It rotates not only the axe but the pneumatics and rack-and-pinion mechanism inside. The axe itself is powered by 2 2.5kg CO2 bottles, which should provide enough power to serious hurt some armours, and its got about 30 shots. Not only that, but it has small hardox spikes on the side of the head; being an omnibot, Avarice can spin REALLY fast and so if the axe runs out of CO2 it can act as a thwackbot, and bludgeon some armours with those spikes. If the turret is working, it can also spin the axe making it go even faster, and damage armours even further... :wink:
Srimech: Axe.
Strengths: Maneouverability is crazy, extremely versatile and damaging weapon, good acceleration. Unique design.
Weaknesses: Poor armour, limited CO2, cant right itself when axe malfunctions, crappy top speed. No picture yet. (but I WILL get a CAD of it done soon!)
Let the critiquing begin... :proud:
Matt, if youre reading this, please get your stats in! (:proud:)
Paul if you are reading this stop treating this like it is your tournament
IM NOT TREATING LIKE MY TOURNY!
Im just annoyed that Matt has said reverve me a spot and leaves us waiting for weeks, when everyone has got their stats and entries in, and he still needs ONE entrance extra.
Im NOT treating it like my tourny, I just want to get on with this!
(:angry::angry::angry::sad:)
Paul! Believe it or not there are more important things than a tournament.
I was recently made homeless and right now my priority is to get my affairs sorted and find somewhere to live, because I would rather have a roof over my head than worry about getting some stats together for something that is no more than a bit of fun.
OK? Now please, shut up and let me do what I need to do as opposed to you who is doing what at the very least other people should.
Thank you.
