MacFan Fic - Season 1

Well, I thought it was about time I started and tortured you! =D

Time for some rules:

I need any amount of people (8 people is the minimum, 1000 is the max =P) to enter robots. Obviously. You each are allowed to enter 1 (And only one) realie each. The amount of robots total that you enter must be a power of two, so it can be 2, 4, 8, 16. Although I cannot stop you from entering 16, I would strongly suggest against it. The entries will close once I have 64 robots. If I dont get that much, Ill ask for people to enter more (If they can spare it), as well as add some other real robots into the mix.

When you enter, I want you to obviously give stats. The usual format please. Also, when you enter a realie, I would like a linked picture of it upon demand. I will only ask for it if I do not know the robot that well, so you dont have to give one for Panic Attack or Firestorm or whatever. And with your main robots, I encourage that you enter pictures. No matter how crappy, I encourage you to do so. You dont have to, but itd be nice.

03. The weight limits are 100kg for wheeled robots, 110kg for shufflers and tracked robots, and 150kg for walkers.
04. Clusterbots are allowed - there is a 2 part limit for them. A clusterbot is eliminated if one or more parts of it are destroyed.
05. Robots with passive or no weaponry are allowed. Flying robots are banned.
06. Robots with interchangable weaponry are allowed. You must say when you first give your stats that your robot has interchangable weaponry, and what those weapons are. If after giving your stats, you come up with a new interchangable weapon you didnt mention before, or change one you did mention, the new weapon or change cannot be used. There is a max of 3 interchangeable parts. Sorry Slammer, but it just gets too complicated.
07. Basic Battlebots rules on what is and isnt allowed apply to anything I havent mentioned. No flammable weapons or electric weapons or anything of the like, but I hope that that is a given.

This tournament will work a little bit differently than you are used to. All robots will start in a 4-way rumble. The top two will go through to the knockout stages. The difference here is that to decided the brackets for the knockout stage, the top two robots will be separated by how well they did. (EX: Say that Tengu, Tails, Novastorm, and Flaming Hell were in heat A. Novastorm was knocked out first, then Flaming Hell, then Tails. Tails would then, in the knockout stages, face the winner from heat P, whereas Tengu would face the loser from heat P. This would encourage you to do well in your heat, and not slack off while the rest are eliminated. If the time runs out, then it will go to a judges decision to see who won.)

The time limit for each match is 3:00, on the exact dot.

In judges decisions, the robots are marked on Aggression, Damage, and Control. 15 points goes toward each category, and that 15 is split between the two on how well they did. (EX: For the aggression, say that Tails rammed Tengu a lot, and Tengu spend a lot of the match running away. Tails would win that category 12-3. Tails getting 12 points, while Tengu got three. This is the same for all categories.)

The definitions for each were:
Aggression - This is how much you chased your opponent down, and didnt run away.
Damage - How much pain you inflicted upon your opponent.
Control - How dominant you were. Its all good if youre inflicting damage, or continually ramming the other guy, but if theyre giving you a beating and controlling you, this category isnt yours.

No house robots, they suck.

Since I love you alllllll so much, I went and made a CAD of the arena for you!

The wall spikes can NOT be bent, by any means. They are that strong. Same with the wedged wall, and the floor. None can be damaged. You can, however, break the hazards; the saws (end and middle) and floor spikes.

The end wall saws of DOOM! - Running at 8000RPM, these will really kill you. They have 50lbs force behind them.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/5466/macarena20by.jpghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/5...carena20by.jpg

The middle saws of not so great DOOM! - These only go at a mide 1000RPM, and have just 15lbs of metal going behind them. Theyre good for bending wedges upwards, however, and shearing hinged wedges off!

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/8072/saws0xe.jpghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/8072/saws0xe.jpg

Pokey spikes in the middle - These dont do much damage, unless you have really really bad armor. Theyre more used for flipping so watch out!

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7986/spikes9ix.jpghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7986/spikes9ix.jpg

Wedged wall; used to highcenter opponents, and maybe even flip them! =O

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/3241/wedgedwall8cu.jpghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/3...gedwall8cu.jpg

You CAN get OOTAs in this, but looking at the way the wall is formatted, you can guess itll be hard. Firestorm flippers are almost guarenteed not to get OOTAs here. Almost.

Also with special wall to protect my lovely contestants! =)

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/4605/wall5og.jpghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/4605/wall5og.jpg
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6060/contestants4at.jpghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6...estants4at.jpg

For one on one matches, the contestants start in the red and blue squares.

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7992/startingsquares9sh.jpghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7...squares9sh.jpg

For a one on one on one on one, two contestants start in the red and blue, while the other two start evenly spread on the wedges wall side.

Side events anyone?
ENIALATION EVENT! The annihilator, only 10 robots from the main competition can enter. One per person.
OTHERWEIGHTS?!?!?!?! Yup, everyone can enter 2 of each class at the max. Im hoping for 16 robots in each class. And yes, you dont have to do the main event to do this.
Antweights (100-150g; 125-225g for walkers)
Featherweights (4-12kg; 4-18kg for walkers)
Lightweights (12-35kg; 18-52kg for walkers)
Middleweights (35-60kg; 52-90kg for walkers)
Superheavyweights (101-150kg; 151-200kg for walkers)
Eight robots (Vapour or real) can be entered in each weight class - each person can only enter one robot in each weight class. If a weight class doesnt have enough entrants, I will enter realies into it.

Thats probably everything. Tell me if I missed something out. NOW ENTER! PARCE QUE JE LU DI!!! BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!

If we can reserve places, please save me one in all the side events and 8 places in the competition.

13 Black for my realie, Love Bite V2.0 for my vapour

Length/Width/Height: 120/30/20
Weight: 100KG
Motivation: €œWheels/Legs/Shuffles€™ 4 inner wheels
Speed: 20-30 MPH
Weapon: €œWeapon type and specs€ Hydraulic vertical pincers at 2000 psi, can damage light-moderate armour. At the front is a Firestorm type flipping arm, CO2 powered, really just a SRIMECH but it will get other bots over, not really meant to be an OOTA flipper seeing as it€™s speed and the pincers do most of the damage.
Drive: €œMotors used and voltage, style of reduction€ Bosch motors at 36 volts, gear reduction
Power: €œBattery type and Voltage & Amps€ 2 x 36 volts at 3 amp NiCD packs
Armour: €œMaterials and thickness, method held on€ 4 mm hardox, welded.
Ground Clearance: 3MM
Turning Circle: 0M
Notes: It is a double wedge with skirts around the two sides. The paint job is black with Love the Bite in red down the skirts. Muchos credit to Aaron for the help.
Accomplishments: Spawn of Love Bite (NSBFL 7 16th seed), the NSBFLX New Blood runner up

Reserving places is fine, but you need the stats in within one week.

Im in, and PLEASE, do me a favour and finish this, all the tourneys Ive entered are frozen ATM.

Flaming Hell

Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 90x90x60 cm
Weapon: a triangular spinning cage with 3 sharpened bot openers on each end, weighing 5kg each, spinning at 3000 RPM, powered by a Lemco on 36v
Power: 2x Bosch 750 motors at 24v (its been made so that the cage motor gets 36v but the drive only gets 24, as the drive is ok as it is on 24V)
Shape: circular base with triangular cage atop
Speed: 15mph
Drive power: 4bph
Notes: small electric actuators in the rotor arms in order to self right. They have been shock proofed so that the weapon impact will not bust them, and the cage spins 2mm from the ground. Small bearings for the cage and the far set apart wheels give it increased stability for a FBS
Turning Circle: 0cm
Armour: 3mm titanium
Wheel Type - 4 small wheelbarrow type wheels (no need for great traction)
Strengths: Power of cage
Weakness: Unpredictable bounce off from an opponent

Hell Machine

Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 140x100x60 cm
Weapons: Lemco motor powered axe (run through gear box) that can deliver an axe blow of 3 tons (according to my calculations) and rear linier actuator operated lifting arm that can flip 600kg
Srimech: Side arms and rear arm
Speed: 15mph
Transmission: a 4 wheeled Tornado set up(36v and same gearing), but with a pair of Mag C40€™s in place of the Bosch motors, and a set of NiMh in place of the heavy Lead Acids the real thing uses.
Turning Circle: 0m
Ground clearance: 0 at the scoop and wedge edge, 2mm the rest of the way around
Wheel Type: Go-kart
Body Shape: scoop fronted, wedged back
Armour: 8mm Grade 5 Titanium and 2mm stainless steel
Colour: Black with flame face on scoop and name in blood writing on side, devil head on rear wedge
Strengths: Enormous pushing power (About 12hp), EXTREMELY powerful axe, relentless in attacking (until a robot is immobile)
Weakness: Dislikes spinners, doesnt like weapons that use carbon

Name: Sheer Hell
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 150cm x 80cm x 120cm
Shape: low angled box with disc on the front like 13 black and rear 259 disc, style
Weapons: A front mounted Horizontal spinning disc and a rear mounted vertical spinning disc, both running at 4500rpm and delivering a blow of 75kj
Top Speed: 13 mph
Transmission: 4 Rubbertex coated aluminium wheels (Rubbertex is a grippy rubber substance used on the K*bot tables) run on a Smidsy type wheel system, and run by a pair of Bosch 750€™s and a bank of Ni-cads to give me more weight for armour
Armour: 8mm Titanium
GC: 3mm either side and back, 7mm under the disc at the front, variable at the sides of the disc
Srimech: powerful electric arms mounted on the top
Turning Circle: 0cm
Strengths: devastating weapons
Weakness: carbon based weapons
Notes: will NEVER turn the vertical flywheel into an opponent as it will throw SH over. Also, counter-acting discs (vertical and horizontal) will keep it stable, and if it is flipped, it does a funny jig in the air before coming down, most of the time, right way up

Name: Flipping Hell
Dimensions: 120cm x 80cm x 40cm
Weight: 100kg
Shape: steep wedge front, elongated wedged tail (not used as a weapon)
Weapon: 1000psi 2 pivot pneumatic flipper that can generate enough momentum and force to throw a 100kg robot 25ft up and 20ft across
Top speed: 18mph
Transmission: just like Razer€™s
GC: 0 at the front, 2mm down the side, 4mm at the back end
Turning Circle: 0cm
Armour: 6mm aluminium and steel alloy
Strengths: Can win with one weapon shot
Weakness: None
Notes: 4 wheels, the rear two of which are Razer type, so the flipper is always facing its opponent

MW:
Hell Fire

Weight: 50kg
Dimensions: 120x110x40cm
Shape: low slung wedge
Weapons: Powerful pneumatic flipping arm that has a plate that runs the width of the front, that can throw 75kg 3 feet or so no problem, and can, flip 100kg, but not too high, and a rear Pussycat style Saw, that spins at 4000rpm, and has carbon tipped teeth to cope with titanium.
Top Speed: 25mph
Transmission: a pair of Mag C40€™s on 24v NiMH€™s running through a really simple transmission, but a reliable one due to features to keep the chain on.
Amour: 4mm Ali and steel alloy and 2 mm of stainless steel on top
Strengths: Very manoeuvrable and fast, generally very easy to control
Weakness: Exposed outer wheels
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front, 5cm at the back, varying from 0 to 4.5 at the sides (wedge goes up)
Turning Circle: 0cm (its turning is very nimble)
Notes: Hell Fire is extremely manoeuvrable because it has 2 sets of wheels on the same axle, meaning that it€™s incredibly stable, and can turn on a penny, and can still run even with outer wheels ripped off

LW:
Name: Hell Hound
Weight: 25kg
Dimensions (LxWxH): 60x50x30cm
Shape: scooped front, rectangular body, rounded back
Weapons: 2 conjoined Pincer type crushing jaws with a small hydraulic ram powering each, producing a 1 and 1/2 tonne crushing force
Colour: mainly black, but with Rotweiler features all over the body
Speed: 15MPH
Transmission: a pair of Bosch 400€™s on 24v running through a simple 6:1 ratio gearbox
Armour:1mm stainless steel and 4mm Ali/steel alloy (tough enough for LWs)
Srimech: cable pulled legs from out the side (like a dog cocking his leg to do his business) and a cable pulled tail to self right when its on its head
GC: 0 at the scoop, 2mm the rest of the way
Turning circle: 0cm
Strengths: Power of weapon
Weakness: slow self righter (still effective mind)
Notes: New NBSFL LW champ

FW:
Name: Hells Angel
Weight: 12kg
Dimensions: 59 x 45 x 15 cm
Shape: Scoop front, rectangle body, wedged rear end
Weapons: a car radiator fan motor powered axe, drilled for lightness, but with still a heavy axe head, with a wallop power of about 500kg
Transmission: 2x 12v 3000mA Ni-cads powering Ali protected Challenger drill motors attached directly to the compound rubber wheels (those popular blue wheels you see on many FW), which are studded with screws pointing out (like those on Chaos 2)
Speed: 12 MPH
GC: 2mm all around, 0 at the scoop end
Srimech: The axe, the weight of which pulls it over so it cannot rest on its side. Make SURE you remember that.
Armour: 6mm ali on the sides, on the top (used to have thick steel plates, but I found out that they were too heavy)
Strengths: The axe
Weakness: the armour may not stand up to strong FW spinners, but should prove good enough

AW
Name: Baby Hell
Weight: 150g
Shape: scooped front, rectangle body, wedged back end
Drive: Modified 9g NAROTECH servos, like those used in Anty B powered by a 25g NiMh 4.8v cell
Weapon: A modified NAROTECH servo powered axe that can go through CD casing in 1 shot. The axe is powerful enough to self right the robot.
Armour: Pullback Tornado chassis with the scoop on the front.
Wheels: The ones from the Tornado pullback (very grippy), but I use only the rear two because the front space was needed for the axe and battery
Strength: power of axe
Weakness: strength of armour can cause if to fly acros ring when fighting spinners
Notes: Due to rear wheels, scoop is lower to the floor than regular Tornado Pullback

Oh, and Hell Machine in the annihalator please

Hehe, I just made this BECAUSE the other ones wouldnt finish. =P

Im hoping to be able to do about... 8 or so results a week, (maybe less) so dont worry. Thisll move along fast.

I think you need a real robot.

Anyways, my robots...

Orka MK4
Die Ceratops Re-Invertus
Leprosy Infection
Mega Masher 2
Y4
Axe-O-Lotl
Obliteration

And I dont mind what real robot I have. You pick...

Leprosy Infection will also be in the annihilator, and Ill also enter my Middleweight (Tom) and Lightweight (Little Big Bot).

All stats on VFT7, except Y4, which is in the Children In Need Tourny. Minus the extras that is.

Actually, you dont need a realie. You can only have a maximum of one though, if you choose to have one.

And if you choose to still have a real robot, Chris, then how does...

Gravity sound? If not then... Storm II?

quote:

No house robots, they suck.

You Meanie :proud:

OK then, then Ill have the WHOLE of Team Dinowarrior.

ORKA MK4

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Behemoth
Speed: Some 15mph
TC: 0
GC: 2mm, 0mm at front.
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 7mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
Colour; Black with white patches
Weapons; A Behemoth like bucket scoop, made from titanium, and quite capable of lifting 300 kilos. It has a claw like device to grab an oppodent, like the claw on Mantis. The scoop is pnumatically powered, and has about 45 odd flips.
Srimech: It has a dorsal fin on top used for self-righting
Inspiration; Ive always liked Orcas. Adding the K made it sound more dangerous.
Strengths; Weapon
Weaknessess: Hard to turn

BIO
Every big team needs some big star to bring in the crowds. My big name is Orka MK4, representing Team Dinowarrior in all its glory.
No one is faster, smarter or more agile than Orka Mk4. When charging, other robots need to get out of his way. He can flip just about ANYTHING that doesnt take the warning, or simply grab hold of them. Hes ready for battle! Are you?


DIE-CERATOPS RE-INVERTUS

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape: Wheely Big Cheese
Speed; 15mph
TC; 0
GC; 0mm at front, 3mm at sides and back.
Wheels; 2 inner, sticking out only slightly,
Armour; 8mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
Colour; Green, with Killer Carrot style wrinkles, mouth and eyes. One of the eyes has a plaster over it, the other is a black eye. A few bandages are painted on this time.
Weapons: A huge Wheely Big Cheese style flipper, capable of flipping a tonne or so.
Srimech; As the name suggests, the robot runs inverted. Bars prevent side strandings, and the back is rounded, so stranding THAT way is outta the question. The flipper works upside down.
Inspiration; Ive always liked Dinosaurs. This is a pun of Triceratops. The Invertus part is pretty obvious.
Strengths; The ability to work upside down and still be able to use its weapon, now easier to control.
Weaknessess: Tengu VI

BIO
Orkas cute-on-one-side-pure-hell-on-tuther friend, Die-Ceratops is equally as powerful and as nippy as his buddy. In the arena, he can get to oppodents/victims in record time. Then, once his flipper is underneath them, they can kiss the ground good-bye. Of course, hes teamed with me, and I can be rather protective over him...


CYCLONE FORCE 2.5

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape; Storm 2
Speed; 25mph
TC; 0
GC; Side is 0mm due to skirts. Back is 2mm. See set-ups for front GC
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 7mm Titanium.
Power; Similar stuff to what Storm 2 uses.
Colour; A blue-ish grey tone all over.
Weapons; The robot has 5 set-ups, 2 brand new...

SET UP 1...A lifter device, similar to Storm 2. In theory, it can lift 190 kilos. The front makes a wedge and results in a 0mm GC. However, the wedge is useless upside down.
SET-UP 2...A pair of Kan Opener style claws, with about 4 tonnes of pressure at the tip. Front GC for this and Set-up 3 is 1mm.
SET-UP 3...A Disc-O-Inferno style disc, reaching speeds of up to 3000rpm and with similar damage capability to this dangerous bot (I mean, look what it did to Panic Attack).
SET-UP 4...Two 30cm long spikes, which, combined with the speed of the robot, can easily penetrate weaker armours (Id say anything 4mm thick or less, minus Steel, is in a bit of trouble).
SET-UP 5...The most risky approach, A simple bucket scoop, like X-Terminator. The scoop is static, but can get underneath virtually zero ground clearance. Its front is 0mm.

Srimech; The robot runs inverted, the sides are protected by the skirts and back stranding is impossible. Set-ups 2, 3 and 4 work upside down.
Inspiration; The original Cyclone was named because it is the name of a storm and it sounds threatening. The force came later, after it became a pusher.
Strengths;Raw power
Weaknessess;Lack of control, Set-ups 1 and 5 do not work upside-down.

BIO
When Cyclone Force 2.5 is in the game, every other piece of metal is scrap! Cyclone can travel across the arena with great speed AND power. His interchangable weapon system means NO ONE is safe. Thank goodness hes harmless when turned off.


LEPROSY INFECTION

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape; Tetanus Booster
Speed; 18mph
TC; 0
GC; 2mm
Wheels; 4 inner, top sticking out. Wheel flaps are situated either side of the wheel to protect them.
Armour; 7mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
Colour; A disgusting shade of lime green.
Weapons; A very large, very dangerous vertical drum, capable of reaching speeds of 4000rpm. The teeth on the drum are curved upwards so they can flip as well as damage and very sharp at the tip. There is a reason for this...
Srimech; The robot is invertable. Bars along the side and back prevent stranding. The wheel flaps, both on top and bottom, are set so the robot can still run inverted without getting stranded. Once upside down, the teeth of the drum gouge out robot parts.
Inspiration; Named after the disease which causes the skin to flake and fingers and toes to drop off...namely because the robot does something similar. The basic idea came from an episode of The Simpsons.
Strengths; Drum, control is pretty good
Weaknessess; Wheels may be vulnerable to axes

BIO
When youve got sharp teeth, sickeningly bright green paint and a name of a skin disease, battle invitations are pretty remote. So, hes loving life in the Robot Wars arena where he can make others sick. Leprosy Infections drum is killer! And when hes upside down, those teeth start gouging out his prey. Grrr...


MEGA MASHER 2

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Minion
Speed: 12mph
TC: 0
GC; 0 at front, 1mm at sides due to skirts.
Wheels; 4 inner.
Armour: A nice 3mm of steel
Power: Similar stuff to what Tornado uses.
Colour: Red and yellow.
Weapons; The front is a wedge, and the back has a nasty vertical disc, powered by its own motor and spinning at 2000 rpm. It can probably flip as well as damage. A side Minion style bar comes out from the side.
Srimech: The aforementioned bar rights the robot, even though it can run inverted.
Inspiration; This is probably the only robot I have where I have had no inspiration. It just came as a good name.
Strengths: Power, weaponary
Weaknessess: A little bulky, not as heavy as the body would suggest.

BIO
Mega Masher is still hell bent on robot destruction. Whether you think of him as the baddest, most brutal robot ever or just a power crazed crazy thing - just dont tell him when his disc is spinning at full throttle! His wedge is also dangerous; being one of the lowest out there. Dont trust this robot to lose as far as you can throw him! Even better, dont try to throw him at all; hes based around Battlebot champion Minion, and way too bulky for flipping.



Y4

Weight: 99 kilos
Body Shape: T-Minus
Speed: 16mph
TC: 0
GC: 2mm, but the flipper blade reaches 0.
Wheels: 2 semi outer (that means theyre protected)
Armour: 5mm titanium
Power: The usual 3x 12v batteries and couple Magmotors for power.
Colour: Grey
Weapons: An extremely powerful flipper (Try 300 kilos+). Can perform about 30 or so flips before it starts weakening.
Srimech: The flipper acts as srimech. It can also be used as gymnastics. A light flip will knock the robot back over, but pressing hard on the button will send the robot into a 540 degree spin before landing, or a Matador style bound in mid air. All prperly controlled, of course.
Inspiration: A quote from a cartoon. Taz-mania, I believe.
Strengths: Powerful flipper, very entertaining.
Weaknessess: Semi exposed wheels.

BIO
Even the simplest of names create a savage effect. This flipper flapper is back under my arms, and ready to make his own mark on the world. Like Mega Masher, he is based on a Battlebot champion, this time T-Minus, and thus is a master at powerful flips.



AXE-O-LOTL

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Comengetorix
Speed: 20mph
TC: 0
GC: 2mm
Wheels: 4 inner
Armour: Mainly aluminium (5mm) with 3mm Titanium top plates.
Power: Same stuff as Storm 2 and Cyclone Force uses.
Colour: Has interchangable panels. One set is pure black, the other pure white with pink tinges.
Weapons: A very nasty axe, with the power of Dominator 2. The head is diamond tipped, and the whole weapon is VERY persistant. It can fire about 40 times in one fight.
Srimech: The axe rights the robot. The robots body is designed so it cant be side stranded.
Inspiration: My favourite amphibian, the axolotl.
Strengths: Powerful weaponary
Weaknessess: Questionable armour.

BIO
Axe-O-Lotl likes a bit of Mexican chilli powder with his lubricating oil. After a break in Mexico, Axe-O-Lotl has returned to join the mightiest of the mighty on Team Dinowarrior. His powerful/persistant axe is brutal, and he has just as much power as Cyclone Force.



OBLITERATION

Weight: 100 kilos

Since I love you alllllll so much, I went and made a CAD of the arena for you! You mean you downloaded the Arena from happyrobots.com and modified it into your arena :proud:

Ill enter there 4 in everything possible:

Name: Infusion
Motivation: 4 x 125mm wheels
Speed: 0-12MPH [25MPH under Kinetic Boost]
Clearance: 7.5mm (same inverted) 0mm at the front, the wedge scraps the floor.
Weight: 100kg
Height: 125mm
Length: 800mm
Width: 600mm
Weapon: The weapon is a 31kg Hardox spinning ring (Ala MDU) powered by a LEM170 @ 36v. The rim rotates at 1800rpm and should spin up within 2-3 seconds max. The weapon is also a storage device for the drive. The spinning rim is connected to each side of the drive via a car air conditioner clutch, when the clutches are engaged, the 31kg kinetic storage bank(the spinning rim) transfers its energy into the drive train, giving it approximately double torque and speed for 2-3 seconds until the rim starts too loose speed and energy. This extra €˜kinetic€™ boost is used to ram into opponents with the front 10mm thick Hardox 500 wedge (similar to the one on Warrior SKF but wider and less depth to it). The front wedge is rubber shock mounted to ensure it survives the biggest of hits.
Drive: 2 x C40-500 Magmotors on 36v geared 7.5:1. The drive is also assisted via the spinning rim as explain above.
Batteries: 90 x 3600mAh NiCD Cells configured into 3 x 36v packs. This gives an output of 36v @ 10.8Amp/hours.
Armour: Front wedge is made entirely out of 10mm Hardox 500, the top and bottom of the robot is made out of 8mm Titanium/Vandium, The ring is made out of 10mm Hardox 400 with inner bracing to the perimeter bearing. Inner bulk heads are made from 20mm polycarbonate and 10mm aluminium.
Notes: Invertible, speed when needed and generally well controlled for a spinner.

Name:Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3
Motivation: 3 Wheels
Speed: 12MPH (480MPH Tip Speed)
Weight: 100kg
Height: 250mm
Diameter: 800mm
Weapon: The robot itself is the weapon. It uses its drive and a custom made micro processor system similar to that used in a fellow translational spinner called Cyclone Bot to translate itself around the arena creating a €œVortex of Destruction€. Using 9 Hardox €œenlightened€ teeth, it tears its opponent to pieces when the teeth collide at a sub-sonic speed of 480MPH. Causing certain death to the opponent.
Drive: 3 x Briggs & Stratton Eteks running on 60v. The motors are protected with a current limiting circuit and a thermal protection system which will ensure the motors don€™t over heat. The drive system uses a unique variable drive system with load sensing technology which enables the robot to start rotating with a high gear ratio preset at 5:1 giving the motors high torque low speed. As the robot gains rpm, which is constantly monitored via wheel rpm sensors, the gearing then adjust to suit the load of the motors and gain further speed allowing the gear ratio to lower from 10:1 to as low as 1:1 at top speed. The gear ratio can also over drive thrown the ratio 1:2 giving the robot nearly double the original top speed and allowing far more energy, but this is only used when the opponent is at a distance where it can easily be disposed of. Otherwise, the drive is left at 1:1 maximum.

MDU 3 sports an advanced drive control system to that of Cyclone Bot as it uses motor and wheel sensors to travel and translate in the most efficient possible way, minimising energy lose. The drive will adjust ratio to suit condition if it is loaded and will change if need to translate at the full 12MPH (6MPH up on the last version since the robot size has decreased for faster movement, quicker spin up times and thicker armour). Spin up time is minimal and varies between 0.5sec spin up and 1sec when the system is suffering from battery voltage drop. At a mere 1/7th of its full RPM, this robot will be dangerous. 500rpm will have enough energy to throw robots out the road and allow it to continue its quest for domination. If people start ganging up on it (Everyone will, I know), the drive system will be locked down into 500rpm mode allowing the drive to have nearly maximum potential torque yields and it will force the opponents away till it can then safely power back up to full speed and deliver the force of the €œVortex of Destruction€. To ensure endurance during combat, everything has been shock mounted for maximum protection in Urathane and Medium Density Foam.
Batteries: 250 x 3600mAh NiCD cells producing 60v @ 18amps. The packs are protected by a system like the drive which give both current and temperature protection. The packs are re-enforced between the cells with Polypropylene cell holders and will prevent them from breaking during the impacts.
Armour: 4mm Hardox 500 with stainless steel welding built in a monocoque design with triangle shape and inner supportive bulkheads. 10mm Polycarbonate on the top to save weight due to the upgrade to Etek motors and higher voltage
Notes: Invertible. Soon to be your worst nightmare. All within your precious 100kg weight limit. Approche Avec prudence.

Name: Knightrous Wedge
Motivation: 6WD
Shape: A wedge shape like SJ (http://www.buildersdb.com/botpics/845.JPGhttp://www.buildersdb.com/botpics/845.JPG)
Speed: 35MPH
Weight: 100kg
Height: 320mm
Length: 750mm
Width: 650mm
Weapon: A speedy hydraulic front hinged lifter/flipper (0.25 second to do the full 120 degree movement) which is powered by a hydraulic motor geared 12:1 onto a crank shaft that lever on the lifting arm. (Diagram can be provided for Writer). The front wedge is made out of 10mm Hardox 500 and scraps the ground at 0mm.
Chassis/Armour: 5mm Hardox 600 sides, 8mm Titanium base and top. 3.25mm Hardox 450 floating skirts on the sides and back.
Drive: The drive is a hydra-static drive train. It has a 42HP Honda CR125 motor bike motor (2005 model) with a custom made swash plate hydra-static pump bolted to the motor output shaft. The hydra-static drive provides full motor torque at 0MPH right up to 40MPH (Electric motors and normal hydraulic drives cannot provide this feat, if you google hydra-static, you€™ll find out why). 6 x 120mm wheels that are 100mm wide provide the maximum traction when coated in 15mm of Urathane Rubber (Volcalon).
Notes: The robot is invertible. Gyro-stabalised and has an active traction control system build from a pair of 18X picaxe chips and some custom software and sensors. This will help maintain maximum control and handling at high speeds. Can self right with lifter and has 0mm ground clearance at the skirts and 15mm under the body.

Advantages: The SPEED! The Pushability! The Strength!
Disadvantages: Having to keep your opponent in the arena long enough to have fun

is the arena floor magnetic?

if so, Ill change 1WDs vacuum cleaners in ball-shaped electro-magnets, and I can assure you itll definately work then

if not... well, it depends how soon this tourneyll actually start, if I dont have a valid replacement for 1WD in time, just skip FLick of the Wrist, Liar, Beta and 1WD so Ill have 4 entries, if I design a valid replacement in time, good for me :proud:

save a space for me in everything i need to locate some stats

Since I love you alllllll so much, I went and made a CAD of the arena for you!

You mean you downloaded the Arena from happyrobots.com and modified it into your arena

Maybe ;)

Well, Martyn is saved a space... the last space in the tournament. Although, Martyn, if I counted correctly you may only enter 4 robots for this.

Worry not, Martijn, I counted all the robots up without 1WD and it comes to an exact 60. Odd, but nonetheless, satisfying.

Ill enter and team up with someone else cause I really want to be in a new tourney.

so Alex, does that mean I can enter a team of 7? :S

Yeah, I think someone else entered an odd number, but it works out. Somehow.

Oh I see what it was, I missed Chris Masons other robot. Okay, yeah, Ill either need another robot from you Martijn, or Martyn enters three.

which means my question still stands, is the arena-floor made of a magnetic metal or not?

The arena is magnetic.

The use of magnets for making wedges flush to the floor is illegal, as is everything else you can do with magnets besdies what you are doing, Martijn.

If Martijns out of ideas, would it be alright if I entered three more robots? [if not ill enter just two, drop 4 Swords if its just two]
