so, so far its Firestorm 5 V Firestorm 5 V Firestorm 5 V Firestorm 5 V Firestorm 5

My bet my be a bit out there but i am going to go for Firestorm 5 i dunno why it just seams like the best to choose

You see, thats where youre wrong Martyn. Firestorm 5 is going to be the victor, not Firestorm 5.

Firestorm V might be an outside favourite, but only on a judges.

Strenghts-powerful flipper, is easily mistaken for firestorm so people overestimate it and therefore try to pull off compelx manouvers which would work againts a good machine, but this machien can counter them because its not precision driven

yes you can enter real robots but you have to pick a country(like lithuania,ukraine,brazil)countries like that for your robots hence the name world cup anyway . someone can have firestorm 1 someone can have firestorm2etc.etc. that means everyones happy

(Message edited by dogbot4000 on September 18, 2005)

Anothercloneaccountonthefraforum will represent Erratus.

a real country perhaps?

Ill be Belgium then, Im bound to win that way.

Representing almighty Prussia :wink::

NAME- Whirligig 4.0
SHAPE- flat disc
COLOUR- deep yellow with Mauler-style scary face on top
WEIGHT- about 100kg (see bottom)
DIMENSIONS- 101.6cm diameter X 12.7cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 4mm
ARMOUR- 1.905 cm thick Grade 5 titanium
FEET- inside robot, uses 4 DrillZilla-style shuffling plates. These help prevent the bot being flung halfway across the ring on contact with another bot, ala Typhoon
POWER- 2 X S28-400s running on 36v. Uses 120 X NiCad cells at 36v, producing 12amps at 36v overall for drive and weapon power
WEAPONS- the main weapon on Whirly 4.0 is a much improved spinning shell. Weighing in at 33.72kg overall, its heavier than before and now boasts 9 Pussycat-style blades - 3 on the top, 3 in the middle and 3 on the bottom, so it can get some scars in nearly all opponents. The shell is now powered by 2 X LEM-130s running at 36v (these lie on their side, so they will fit comfortabely inside Whirly). These produce 2000rpm...and 183 kilojoules. This should be enough to completely obliterate another machine. Or worse.
As well as this, the power in the shuffling feet mean that Whirly can act as a pretty powerful pusher if the shell fails to work
SRIMECH- the robot is invertible and the blades prevent Whirly landing on his side
NOTES- Mauler-style scary face on top and bottom which show direction of robot, flies Scotland flag, my first properly calculated machine
STRENGTHS- fast, manoeuvrable, very deadly weaponry, tough armour, scary face shows its direction, very good traction, cant be flung away on impact as easily as Typhoon
WEAKNESSES- so-so manoeuvrability, feet may prove vulnerable to crushers and axes

WEIGHT CHECK:
armour = 33.72kg (inc blades)
chassis, mounts, bracing etc = about 30kg
drive and weapon motors = 12kg overall
NiCads = about 15kg
feet = about 10kg overall

TOTAL WEIGHT = 100.72kg. Fits right into the roller limit, with the 1% error margin rule.

Breaking the trend, thats me. :proud:

Fiery storm type thign will represent The Congo for no particular reason

A Brick will represent Lovely

Jello will represent the bermuda triangle.

Um, Die Ceratops Invertus isnt your robot to allow other people to choose...
