A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary
In Series One, Roadblock from Bodmin overtook the opposition and pasted Bodyhammer after a spectacular grand final to become the first Robot Wars champion
In Series Two, Panic Attack surprised everyone after pitting the almighty Cassius to become our second champion
The next two series saw Chaos II break a Robot Wars record as it not only became the first to flip a robot out of the arena, but the first to win two series in a row!
Razer became the holders of the crown in Series Five, after crushing and biting its way to victory
In Series Six, Tornado blew its enemies into submission in a grand final worthy of a Robot Wars brawl
And Series Seven, the RAF and Typhoon went to new heights as the sixth Robot Wars champion!
And now, after 5 years, Robot Wars makes its final return. And if you don't enter it, you'll simply have to read it :proud:
But enough of the Road to Armageddon, or as I call it, the M4, and on with the main course :)
The rules are different for this fan fiction net: I need eight people to enter one real robot and one vapourbot. Can six people please enter a featherweight and a middleweight (They can be either real or your own)
Its a heavyweight tournament, set in the Series Seven arena. The house robots will be there as usual
Normal weight limits apply, clusterbots, as many parts as wanted, are allowed, but once half are out, its all out
Thanks for entering this. I know Robot Wars was sent off long ago, but surely we owe us, the fans, one more rumble :proud:
See you tomorrow with some updates
Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary
Ehhhh...weird...but...
Why not, I'll enter with:
Macduff the 4th (HW vapourbot)
Surgeon General (Battlebots Season 5)
As for otherweights:
Heretic (FW)*
Xianghua III (MW)*
* - will probably update the renders for these bots
All vapourbot stats can be found on the link in my sig.

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary
Ooh, sounds like a lark. :D
HEAVYWEIGHTS:
1. Traffic Warden
SHAPE- square bracket, rounded rear
COLOUR- black with a yellow stripe
WEIGHT- 100kg, I hope
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 150cm X 25cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm
ARMOUR- 4mm Grade 5 titanium
MOVEMENT- four inner wheels
POWER- 2 x Etek-RT motors, running at 48v and producing 38hp.
WEAPONS- Two vertical hydraulic clamps within the middle of the machine. Each clamp is powered by an 80mm x 40mm ram operating at 3000psi, delivering up to 10 tonnes of crushing power. When an opponent slips into the middle, the clamps activate and hold them in place. Traffic Warden can then drag them around and shove them into the nearest arena hazard. Think of it as Huggy Bear on steroids.
SRIMECH- invertible, rounded rear should prevent it getting beached
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, super special awesome thanks to Daniel Stickler, Martijn and AJ for helping with the design
STRENGTHS- great traction, tough shell, fairly manoueverable, nippy, powerful grip
WEAKNESSES- untested weapon, exposed ground clearance

2. Tsunami (RW7)
FEATHERWEIGHT:
Rolling Pin FTW
SHAPE- cylinder ala Barberous
COLOUR- brown
WEIGHT- approx 13kg
DIMENSIONS- 30cm X 50cm X 20cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm
ARMOUR- 3mm titanium monocoque body
MOVEMENT- 2 x outer wheels with a rolling pin handle on each
POWER- 2 X 9.6v drill motors, running on 12v. The motors run on 4000Mah NiCad€™s, resulting in a 4amp battery
WEAPONS- Why, the robot itself. Rolling Pin FTW is armed with a full-body spinning drum, powered by a Speed 900 at 24v, with a second 4amp battery powering it. The drum can reach speeds of 2000rpm for the perfect balance of spin-up and slaughter.
SRIMECH- invertible
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, cheers to Joey for help
STRENGTHS- Fairly destructive, fast, manoueverable, well protected
WEAKNESSES- low pushing power, may prove tricky to control

MIDDLEWEIGHT:
Killoteeny
SHAPE- compact box shape with a front Storm 2-style wedge and a rounded rear
COLOUR- red
WEIGHT- about 50kg
DIMENSIONS- 80cm X 60cm X 25cm
SPEED- about 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 5mm at sides and back without skirts, 0mm at sides and back with skirts
ARMOUR- 5mm polycarbonate
WHEELS- inside robot, 4WD
POWER- 2 X S28-150s, running at 24v
WEAPONS- The main weapon is the large 180 degree pneumatic axe, very similar to that of Killerhurtz, which operates ala a rack-and-pinion system like Terrorhurtz. Running on 160psi, it really packs more than a punch and can very easily self-right the machine.
Also, if anything should happen to the axe, then the robot can use the low wedge and great pushing power to resort to a Tornado-style tactic - ram to death!
SRIMECH- The axe. Even if it€™s already been fired while flipped, the axe can right itself ala Killerhurtz, aided by a rounded back. Also, the machine has a rounded back and a red semi-sphere on either side of robot to stop it landing on its side.
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag
STRENGTHS- Fast, dangerous weapon, good amount of traction, difficult to get under, quick srimech, quite good armour
WEAKNESSES- so-so turning
