Name: Sir Spinalot
Weight: 100 KG
Shape: Circle
Color: Light Blue with a painted USA flag
Dimension: 800mm x 800mm x 120mm
locomotion: 4 foam-wheels, the wheels are 4 x s28-400 magamotors with 8 x v24 3600ah battery packs
ground clearance: 10mm
speed: 20mph
Armor: 5mm titanium armor
weapon: 1500x75x10 titanium spinning bar that runs 1000 rpm with 4 x s28-400 magamotors
sri-mech: yes, the self-righting bar is a electric linear acutator that is on top of Sir Spinalot
Strength: powerful weapon
weakness: vulnerable when weapon is disable
Is it approved?
A titanium spinning bar with dimensions 1500mm x 75mm x 10mm, will weigh approximately 4.9kg. Going at 1000rpm, it will produce 5.1kJ.
Andre, I think you should lower the amount of Magmotors you have powering your weapon and your drive. 2 S28-400s for drive and 2 for weapon, not 4. It will give Sir Spinalot close to around 10-15mph (pick a speed in-between). Also, your bar should spin at 3000rpm instead of 1000rpm. That will produce about 45.9kJ, which is quite good for a rookie vapourbot.

Secret
Fine. Could be a few more details, but it€™s good enough.
Joey€™s battle
€¦I€™m speechless
Sir Spinalot
€œthe wheels are 4 x s28-400 magamotors€ - interesting :)
Follow Kody€™s advise and this bot should finally be sorted.

That the self-righting mech need some work or that wrap it up?
Looks good to me.
ALL RIGHT!

I meant to say is does the self righting mech need some work or does that wrap thing up? and it looks great. Seriously the editing function in this forum need to work.
Can some people evaluate these improvements of my old robots.
MeCANNIBAL 2.0
€ WEIGHT: 110kg (Shuffler)
€ ARMOUR: 3.5MM Titanium on top and bottom.
€ SHAPE: Invertible low cylinder
€ MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP
€ LOCOMOTION: 2 x Shuffling pads
€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (W) 80CM (H) 20CM
€ COLOUR: Black with scary human face with over sized teeth coloured red.
€ WEAPONRY: Ring spinner, made of 8MM Harox, weighing 30KG, powered by 2 x LEM130€™s at 36V to give it spinning speed of 3000RPM and producing 195KJ per blow with a spin-up time of 3.5 seconds. It 2 big teeth made of Hardox that curve out. The teeth are inserted into the body and have rows of Tool Steel spikes on the teeth to dig in. These teeth 5kg each and are designed to send all the spinning energy into one spot rather than small amount into multiple spots. It also has 5 Inches worth of Titanium shock-proof Foam to stop it self-destructing.
€ SPEED: 15MPH
€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-8MM. It has a full-bodied 5mm Titanium skirt running completely along the ground that rises when the shell is spinning, but drops when the shell isn€™t spinning. This is powered by a simple 750w Bosch 36V motor and runs at the same time as the spinner.
€ STRENGTH: Scary name and weapon
€ WEAKNESS: Hard to control
NITRO-GENE 4.0
€ WEIGHT: 100kg
€ ARMOUR: 6mm Hardox for the body. 7mm Hardox flipper.
€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with pointed sides and rear. At the front is a Storm 2 style wedge to end in getting underneath other robots.
€ MOTORS: 4 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 36HP
€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.
€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (H) 15CM (W) 60CM
€ COLOUR: Black all over with the flipper coloured red.
€ WEAPONRY: A full pressure Nitrogen powered flipper at 1000psi, using a single 80mm ram at 1000psi. The flipper is mounted in the middle of the robot, and is 20cm wide and runs 30cm up the body. Using a 3cm long Titanium strip underneath the flipper, and a heavy flipping arm, the flipper runs completely along the ground. Running on a ratio 2.8:1, the flipper produces 1800kg of force at the tips, allowing me to launch anyone away! This version has 3 x 3kg Nitrogen bottles, giving me 30 flips!
€ SPEED: 22mph
€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-2CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the sides/rear, its 2cm. The orginal weakness of Nitro-Gene (its high ground clearance) has been seen to by the skirts on the sides/rear. They are 4mm Hardox skirts and are joined together like BioHazard - at the corners. To avoid them breaking off, they are held in place by Hardox hinges.
€ STRENGTH: Pushing power and weaponry.
€ WEAKNESS: High speed may mean difficult driving
AUTOISM 2.0
€ WEIGHT: 100kg
€ ARMOUR: 5mm Monocque Hardox on front, rear and top. 4mm Aluminium Boron Carbide for the Sides and Base.
€ SHAPE: Box with Pointed (Triangular) Sides and Rear to lower spinner Effectiveness.
€ MOTORS: 2 x Lem130 at 36V = 18HP
€ LOCOMOTION: 4 x Vulkaon treaded wheels on top and bottom ala Big Nipper.
€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 75CM (W) 70CM (H) 25CM
€ COLOUR: Black for the body, Silver for the crushing weapon. Now, on top, it has the name €˜AUTOISM€™ written in silver.
€ WEAPONRY: The weapon for this is still a Big Nipper style crushing/lifting arm, but instead of claws to lift with, it has a pair of pliars to lift and crush with. The pair of 3.25mm Hardox pliars works on the same system as the lifter as the pliars are part of the lifter to avoid being torn out by spinners. The weapon lifts and crushes with a force of 9 Tonnes, using a Razer-like mechanism for lifting and crushing! The new crushing weapon means that if flipped, the robot doesnt need to self-right. The bottom part of the jaw is wider than before, to allow for more grip on the opponent
€ SPEED: 13MPH
€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM - 8MM. 4MM Hardox sprung skirts on the sides and rear make it a nightmare to get under.
€ STRENGTH: Power and Weapons make it a tough machine
€ WEAKNESS: Weak side armour.
And also, can you check my new machine Worck out for faults or good points?
WORCK
€ WEIGHT: 100kg
€ ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox for the body and flipper. 6mm Hardox for the scoop. There are wedges on the sides and rear of Worck made of 3.25mm Hardox.
€ SHAPE: A low wedge shape.
€ MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP
€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.
€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 70CM (H) 13CM (W) 70CM
€ COLOUR: Black for the flipper and barbs, white for the body.
€ WEAPONRY: A forward hindged flipper, running on a single 1000psi ram running on CO2. The gas is contained in 2 x 5kg bottles, giving me 40 flips per fight, and the gearing on the ram 3:1 means we have 1300kg of flipping force! That should mean on a forward hindged flipper that I can flip almost everything OOTA.
€ SPEED: 13mph
€ GROUND CLEARANCE: The wedges make the ground clearance effectively zero, but underneath the wedges is 5mm of clearance.
€ STRENGTH: Near impossible to get under.
€ WEAKNESS: Low speeds.
Ill leave the improved ones for people infinitely more qualified than I to evaluate.
As for Worck, trying to cram 2 5kg CO2 tanks in a machine which is at its maximum 5 inches high could be interesting, and Im not entirely sure what you mean by gearing on a flipper. Otherwise, it looks pretty good to me :)
Is everything below 14mph really considered slow these days?
Someone correct me if Im wrong, but I dont believe Co2 can be any higher than 750 Psi. You need Nitrogen if you want to reach 1000.
I think Im qualified. Right?
Would this robot be possible?
Radioactive (LW)
WEIGHT: 24kgs
DIMENSIONS: 55 x 55 x 7.5 cm
SHAPE: Low invertible wedge, with wheels protruding through the rear of the robot as well as the top and bottom
COLOUR: Yellow, with black radiation symbol on top and a red biohazard symbol on the underside.
DRIVE: 2 24v DeWalt drill motors and gearboxes driving 2 foam filled wheels running from 4 NiMh packs at 24v
SPEED: 15mph average, 25mph max
GROUND CLEARANCE: 0 at front, rising to 4mm at rear
ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox top, back and underside with 10mm plywood sides
WEAPONS: No active weapons
SRIMECH: Invertible
NOTES: Internal components shock mounted for protection against spinners
STRENGTHS: Low enough to avoid some weapons, fast, well armoured
WEAKNESSES: No active weaponry, side armour vulnerable to saws
Dont see anything wrong there. :)
Andre, small present for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=633orHGUpE0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=633orHGUpE0
I think the armours a concern Joey. Hardox is overkill for a lightweight, and that Plywood wouldnt hold up long. Make it Ti all over, that should give protection against lightweight damagers and still keep it in weight.
leo you are good at that.
Thank you Shane. But Ive done better. :)
Gah! Annoying wide pages! :lame:
Sir Spinalot: Andre, I think Sir Spinalot€™s stats are now at the stage where we can understand what it can and can€™t do. They could possibly be improved once it has been in a few battles, but for now I€™d say they are fine. Good job.
MeCannibal 2.0: Not bad, a few problems such as weak armour, but good. The kJ output for the spinner is still pretty big but should be OK. I don€™t understand the purpose or the mechanism of the skirt still, but we€™ve been through that and I€™m none the wiser so leave it there.
Nitro Gene 4.0: Downgrade the armour a couple of millimetres.
Autoism 2.0: Get rid of that ABC. As with MeCannibal€™s skirts, I still can€™t grasp the weapon system. Needs some more details. But again, I€™ve tried to understand it before and can€™t so ask someone else.
Worck: Not bad, but as Frank says, I don€™t believe CO2 can reach 1000psi under these conditions so either go with Nitrogen or 750psi CO2.
Radioactive: Pretty good, but Hardox might be pushing it a little, as Frank says.
Little things are missing from all of the above (mainly batteries), but nothing so severe that a writer can€™t get a grasp of what you are trying to do. So again, it all seems fine to me.
Leo: Those moving renders are awesome! :)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO OO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Finally Sir Spinalot is in!
Andre, can you please not do those woooooos anymore? Theyre stretching the page.
Not for me they aint
Sure. Woo-hoo! :lol:
Thanks Leo for the Sir Spinalot design in youtube. I save it with my favorites.

Actually, all you have to do is heat the gas a bit and shell pop 1000psi no hassles. The problem with heating the gas though is you have a semi-unpredictable pressure increase... I guess you could wire up an internal heater in a buffer tank with a pressure switch to turn the heater off when the pressure reaches 950-1000psi...
That is not allowed in FRA rules.

Think the RFL does :proud: Also, this is vapourbots here, pretty much most rules go out the window :rofl:
Well I always intend to keep my robots, vapour or real, within the limits of the FRA rules. Otherwise i might aswell make a vapour flipper capable of 3000psi since RFL allows that.
Any constructive advice welcome. Meet:
Sakura
Shape: Shaped like a closed cherry blossom, sort of conical.
Speed: 12 MPH
Dimensions(dh): 90X30 - diameter taken from the widest part of the machine, it gets narrower as it goes up.
Colour: Let€™s just say it€™s a shade Bex would approve of:proud:
GC: 1 CM
Turning circle: 0
Weapon: Team Bored€™s first true FBS clocks in with a 50 KG FBS shell, spinning at 1500 RPM and powered by two LEM 130s on 36 volts, which should give a nice fast spin up time. There are four hardox teeth, painted and shaped to look like leaves. These are razor sharp to give a nice slice, and they€™re also barbed to catch and rip opponents. I can only estimate the power output due to the shape not being supported by the energy calculator. This clocks in between 90-100 KJs.
Weapon 2: Humiliation. Who wants to admit they just got beat up by a flower?:proud:
Armour: 8 mm hardox for the spinning shell, 5 mm Polypropylene for the base.
Drive: 4 wheel drive, powered by two S28-400 Magmotors on 24 volts.
Srimech: There€™s a hole at the very top of the cone, out of which a blunt self righting spike can come up. This is powered by low pressure pneumatics. Due to weight constraints, it can probably only self right about ten times.
Features: Near the top of the cone are holes. These aren€™t just for reducing weight, as each hole leads to a small aluminium box which is full of pink confetti. As the shell spins, this should be strewn out, allowing Sakura to fight in a cloud of cherry blossoms.
Uh...hello, Sakura. *waves*
Looks scary...not sure how legal the confetti is, but since were in vapourbot lala land it doesnt matter. Could do with battery stats and making it more explicit that the dimensions are in cm, but otherwise okay.
Given that the confetti cant exactly be uased to clog things up, Im pretty sure itd be legal even under FRA rules.
Right! Ive seen to Nitro Genes latest generation, but Ive made a big modification in the shape department, but can you review to make it look all cushty? (Yes! I watch Only Fools And Horses)
