Looks promising...

1) Wheely Pure Evil 2
2) Dennis the Menace
3) Woodpecker
4) Manic Monsoon

Name: Wheely Pure Evil 2 (Thanks to Aaron for flipper rams and armour)
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 6mm Aluminium Boron Carbite (slightly heavier than Aluminium, but harder than Tungsten)
Speed: 18mph
Shape: Low invertible wedge
Weapon 1: Top hinged flipper powered by a 80mm pneumatic ram, working at 1000psi fixed on top of the robot. At the bottom of the flipper there is a 5mm Grade 5 Titanium wedge extender, designed to get under any ground clearance.
Weapon 2: Top hinged flipper powered by an 80mm pneumatic ram, working at 1000psi fixed on the underside of the robot.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry and tough armour.
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels on top and limited CO2 on board.
Ground Clearance: 1cm at the back, 0mm on sides due to side skirts and 0mm at front due to flipping plate.
Srimech: Invertible.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 S28-400 MagMotors running at 24v, which give 18mph top speed. The flippers are made from 4mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, and powered by 80mm pneumatic rams working at 1000psi due to Nitrogen. Each flipper can flip roughly 2500kg each. However, due to the flipper set up, the robot can flip roughly 5000kg! The robot has hinged side skirts, to stop robot getting underneath. The skirts are made from 3mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, and are hinged so they run upside down. The flippers can be fired at the same time, or independently. This robot works on the same basis as St Agro: a double flipper.

Robot Name: Dennis The Menace
Length/Width/Height: 100 x 40 x 25 - 35cm (The height of the robot increases as you move from the front to the back).
Weight: 100KG
Motivation: 2 foam filled go kart wheels made of uber-tough rubber.
Speed: About 18mph
Weapon: The main weapon is a 20kg spinning drum, powered by 2 Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motors. The weapon is capable of changing gears during a match. Originally, the drum spins at 2400RPM when geared down 10:1, but this can be increased to 2:1 at systematic intervals of 2 gearings (10:1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1 2:1). The 4mm Titanium drum is fitted with 2 horizontal Hardox bars, welded, screwed and riveted on to avoid them coming off. These are designed not only to flip, but to rip off skirts and armouring. The drum can hit with over 10kJ of force when spinning at 2400RPM, and increases to an astonishing 243kJ when spinning at 2:1 gearing (12000RPM).
Drive: 24v Sinclair C5 motors.
Power: 4 x 24v NiCad batteries.
Armour: 5mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
Ground Clearance: 4mm all around.
Turning Circle: 0M
Notes: The robot is invertible, and is completely symmetrical when flipped, meaning the performance isn€™t altered at all. The robot€™s shape is basically a box, but with the height increasing as you move from front to the back. The robot has 2 thick Hardox spikes on each side, which means it can pass the passive weaponry rule, and these also stop the robot resting on its side. To stop it resting on its back, the rear of the robot is slightly curved.

Name: Woodpecker
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 4mm Hardox.
Speed: 18mph - powered by 2 Sinclair C5 motors running at 24v.
Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, a rounded back and scooped front.
Weapon 1: A cam-driven axe mechanism, powered by a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor. (Interchangeable).
Weapon 2: A flipping arm, powered by a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor. (Interchangeable).
Strengths: Fastest axe mechanism currently around (hypothetically of course, this is only a vapour after all€¦ :proud:)
Weaknesses: The weapon itself is not very destructive, but mainly shows dominance in terms of number of this it can do.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front due to a sharpened Titanium front and side skirts, 4mm at rear.
Srimech: Invertible, but the axe mechanism has enough power in it to right it back onto its wheels.
Notes: The axe-head is based on Dominator 2€™s, and has small Titanium spikes on each end to aid in self righting. The axe-head is made of Titanium, with a 5mm Hardox tip. The flipper arm is made entirely out of 10mm Aluminium. The robot has 4 wheels get up in a skid steer system and runs off 2 Sinclair C5 motors @ 24v. Each side is connected to each other by a heavy duty rubber belt, and the wheels are made entirely out of Vulcalore. The weapon systems run off a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor geared down 15:1. The motor is connected to a cam wheel which in turn moves the weapon up and down on its pivot. When running at 60v, the weapon can move just under 5 times a second. The emphasis is not on power, but in dominance and aggression.

Name: Manic Monsoon
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 5mm Hardox all over.
Speed: Roughly 28mph
Shape: Box wedge with side skirts and rounded back.
Weapon 1: A linear actuator powered lifter running by a 4 bar system at 24v. This can lift 200kg easily.
Weapon 2: A small strip of Grade 5 Titanium on the front wedge, which gives 0mm ground clearance.
Strengths: Powerful drive and good strong weapon
Weaknesses: A bit too fast and hard to control when at full speed.
Ground Clearance: 0mm on front and sides, 1cm at back.
Srimech: Invertible, but can self right using the lifter if wanted to.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 B42-500 MagMotors running at 60v. This gives Monsoon approx 60HP! The robot has a total of 6 wheels, 3 on each side. Each side is linked together by a set of heavy duty belts, giving 0m turning circle and the manoeuvrability of a 2 wheeled robot, and each wheel is coated in Vulcalon. The front wedge is angled at 42.5 degrees, meaning that it is not too steep or too shallow. The lifting arm is powered by a S28-150 MagMotor, and is made from 7075 Aluminium. The lifter itself can lift a total of 200kg, and can self right the robot if needs be. The side skirts are made from 4mm Titanium and are hinged.

Ill wait and see what develops first before going back on my word.

7 spots left.

You may wish to know that I would like a static display with extremely old robots, such as Laertes the 2nd, Darth Dread, and Seung Mina.

These old robots will fight without using their weapons.
Winner gets an Aluminum cup.

Mark, Im not even USING Darth Dread anymore. That robot has been replaced by The Curse. That and Laertes the 2nd is retired. Besides, I MAY NOT EVEN BE ENTERING THIS.

Will really have to think before entering.

...how exactly can you do a static display in a fanfiction tournament, anyways?

The static display is followed up by the retired robot entering the arena in a gauntlet with no house robots.

There are 100 barrels inside a large triangle. The retired robot, such as Laertes, must knock down as many barrels as possible within a 30 second time limit.

Who said we WANTED to enter retired robots? And dont even THINK of taking them without permission.

Mark, Id advise you drop the display and just go for a straight tournament, no frills or side events.

Well, I wont take them, and you dont have to.

scratch that, the static display is not needed, nor is the barrel challenge.

Haha! That would be so awesome :proud:

Mark, why wouldnt I be serious?
Bring it on Extreme Cheese!The One that wont go down is wedged in the U-bend and I aint moving!

*Extreme Cheese enters*

Wait, that wasnt good enough...

*Extreme Cheese exits*

*dry ice begins to spill out from behind a red velvet curtain*

*brass band begins to play*

*cheerleaders appear as the curtain slides open*

*large Jaguar reverses up to the arena through the curtain. Cheerleaders do formations as a man in a leopard print shell suit opens the boot to confetti and fireworks*

*Extreme Cheese enters from car boot*

There, much better.

HELP!
OOO!
EEEEE!
AAAAHHHH....
SPLASH!
GET THE PLUMBER-QUICK, THIS ONES GONNA TAKE OVER OUR TOILET-THEN THE WORLD!!!

...The One That Wont Go Down...

Extreme Cheese will go in and use its sheer cheesiness to flush the one that wont go down. If that doesnt work, ram the toilet with the spikes, and call the local plumbers irrationally threatening to sue them because they didnt say you shouldnt use robots to do precision plumbing.

...this fight is going to RULE :proud:

From Pontefract, Extreme Cheese!

The cheese-like robot runs off 2 lawnmower motors powered by SLA batteries, and the 2 steel spikes are excellent at cutting the cheese.

From Liamland, The One That Wont Go Down!

This robot is disqualified because it smells horrible.

Theres no such place as Liamland, dimwit.
