The IATSFMAAWFYTETLSIMPIASFAIHS League

To everyone: I am extremely sorry for my actions, and have decided to create one last tourney, even though my career is destroyed, my reputation is ruined, and Kody hates my guts.

This is a league called the I Am Truly Sorry For My Actions And Wish For You To Enter This League So I May Prove I Am Sorry For All I Have Said league.

Rules: I need 4 people to enter 1 robot apiece. Due to my reputation being ruined, you can enter either a realie, or a vapour.

Basic FRA rules apply.

I will post the draw once everyone has entered, and will personally say I am sorry to everyone who enters that has gotten mad at me.

O..K...Yes - I will give you a chance Mark, but if you make a small mistake, Ill get slightly annoyed, make a BIG one and Ill get furious :angry:

I aim to give Knyfe a run in its first competition, and this is the stats to my latest robot.

KNYFE

€ WEIGHT: 100kg.

€ ARMOUR: 6mm Hardox monocoque on the rear, top, front and sides. 4mm Titanium on the base. Inside, I have 4cm of Vulkanised rubber to make sure its good when facing spinners.

€ SHAPE: An invertible box shape, with varing front ends. The sides and rear meet at a fine triangualar point

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM200€™s at 48V = 50HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 6 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (H) 30CM (W) 80CM

€ COLOUR: The body (and each weapon set-up) is silver with golden edges, and name on top with thck gold outlines for each letter

€ WEAPONRY: Knyfe has weaponry that can be changed around to suite the robots it is facing.
1: A standard concave scoop made from 15mm Hardox, impossible to bend or scratch, and perfect for stopping FBS€™
2: A pair of Hardox spikes with diamond-sharp tips. These spikes are on a hindge, and will flip over if the robot is flipped over, and because these spikes scrape the floor, it€™s impossible to get under it whilst using them.
3: Front wedges, mounted in a similar way to those on forklift trucks, reaching out 10cm, and made of 8mm G5 Titanium, and of course getting thinner as it reaches the end of the wedges. The point of these is to ground other robots on them, and make them easier to push without resistance.
4: A 10mm Titanium static scoop with an extension. This is for getting under other rammers.
5: A 15mm Hardox wedge hindged at 42* with an extension, perfect for deflecting vertical spinners and getting under other robots.
6: A 5mm Hardox front plate with rows of spikes on them, making Knyfe into a useful and dangerous rammer, as the spikes are each 0.4cm long, and diamond tipped. And a 100kg robot hitting you at 20mph with diamond-tipped spikes is going to hurt thinish armours.
7: A front skirt made of 10mm Hardox, impossible to get under or break off, as it€™s held on with 5mm Hardox hindges, and it sort of works as a mini-wedge. I use this for robots with other thick skirts.

€ SPEED: 20mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0-8mm. The front will always be 0, and the sides and rear are protected by 7mm Titanium skirts on a rotary joint that joint at the hindges.

€ STRENGTH: Powerful drives and interchangeable weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: Wheels might be targets for axes and crushers.

But remember Mark - DONT MESS UP.

Freaking hell, you will only say sorry to those crazy enough to enter?!?! What are you thinking!?

Theres well over 4 people here you should say sorry to, and most (if not all) of them will not be willing to enter this including me.

And even though I understand where the topic name comes from, in itself is looks like nothing more than SPAM when its read between the other topics.

And you promised your tourney days were over Mark... geez...

Ill try out the new version of The Quaestor:

QE2 (Quaestor Evolution 2)
WEIGHT: 100kgs
DIMENSIONS: 100 x 60 x 30 cm
SHAPE: Box with wedge, only the wedge is in two sections making something of a shallow plow shape. The sides and rear are sloped just enough to make it fall over on to its back if stranded on its side, and to deflect spinners somewhat.
COLOUR: Black front, sides and rear with a large red stripe at the bottom, seperated from the black by a thin white stripe. The top is mostly white, this extends partially on to the sides with the weaponry being coloured black and red. (painted like the Queen Elizabeth II if you didnt get the joke already). Has its name written on both sides in the white section.
DRIVE: 2 LEM-130 motors run at 36v from 3 NiCad packs, driving 6 inner Vulkalon treaded aluminium wheels but with the front two wheels raised to halve the wheelbase but still give traction when lifting something.
SPEED: 15mph average, 25mph max
GROUND CLEARANCE: 10mm all around except the front, which is zero due to the flipper
ARMOUR: 5mm welded titanium front, sides, and rear, backed with 5mm polycarbonate. Baseplate and top is 6mm T6 aluminium, with the top having the same polycarb backing as the rest of the shell.
WEAPONS: Pneumatic 80cm long steel axe at the front, driven from a chain-sprocket drive similar to Killerhurtzs mechanism. The axe head is Hardox, weighs 3kgs and is shaped similar to Shunts with a tungsten carbide edge capable of penetrating titanium and even denting thin Hardox at full power.
Also, there is a front Reactor-style pneumatic flipper, constructed from titanium with a front blade to get under opponents, seperate from the body of the robot so the area underneath isnt vulnerable. This can lift up to 500kgs quite easily, and can give 100kgs a bit of airtime if positioned correctly.
Both weapons are run from 250psi CO2 stored in two 2kg tanks giving about 20 uses of each weapon in a fight.
In addition, there is a big spike on the back.
SRIMECH: The axe
NOTES: Components and armour shock mounted to protect against...stuff. Has a sailors cap attached near the axe.
STRENGTHS: Good weaponry, can clamp an opponent between the two rather effectively, good pushing power
WEAKNESSES: Armour not the strongest

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Maybe..............
But when we gave you a chance with VRW2 you screwed it up.........
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Just so I can kick Pauls ass:proud:
And get my revenge after Joey sent me to my watery death:mrgreen:

War Drum

Shape: Reverse wedge
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: (with drum) 100 x 95 x 35
Motivation: 2 x go-kart wheels
Power: 2 x S28-400 magmotors at 24v, 12HP
Armour: 3.25mm hardox
Weaponry: 25kg 20 x 95 x 35 hardox spinning drum, powered by 2 x E-Teks at 48v, gives 165Kj hit and spins vertically so as to flip opponents, can be reversed if robot is flipped
Top Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 8mm at front and sides, effectively 0 at rear due to wedge
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Black, red drum with yellow diagonal stripes
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: Exposed to flippers at sides

Dont screw this up Mark.

Ill enter WYSIWYG from Series 1.

hummmmmmmmmmmm, well i guess im out

(Martyn-themed post)

Oh, what the heck,

Anyone who has yelled at me, feel free to enter.

Paul, I am sorry in VRW series 1, of putting in Nitro-Gene 4.0 without your permission.

Martijn, I am very sorry for putting in Flick of the Wrist and Sheer Heart Attack 2 when you said you didnt.
But I still think SHA2 is my favorite Vapourbot!

Liam, I am sorry for causing Robot SMASH!! to temporarily be knocked out of order.
But I still think you should let me in your tournies, cause they ROCK!!

Joey, thanks for not yelling at me.

Daniel, Im sorry for... wait, I dont think I dessip him off at all.

(Message edited by corsair_lightning on May 07, 2008)

Anyone else who I have wronged and made you yell at me want to join?

I count four bots in already Mark

Well, Ive decided to increase the number of spots to 8.

So people whom I have made angry, start entering!

I dont honestly think youll get eight entries like that...

Well, It is back to 4.

Here is the draw:

Knyfe vs Quaestor Evolution 2
War Drum vs WYSIWYG

Send in tactics, predictions, and any grudge matches you would like.

There is also a grudge match:

Behemoth and Big Nipper vs Razer

Scrap the grudge match Mark. Keep this simple and dont change anything.

Tactics:

If I remember rightly, WYSISWYG is wooden, so my drum will destory it!

I agree with Liam - dont BOTHER with the grudge match.

Knyfe vs Quaestor Evolution 2: For Knyfes first battle, Ill stick on the 15mm Hardox wedge, as this will allow me to get under him almost instantly! The motors in me should easily outpsu him in a head-to-head clash and my armour should brush off the axe - hell only dint my 6mm Hardoxbody and he wont do anything to the 15mm Hardox wedge. My plans involve pummeling him into the wall until something breaks, or alternatively, ramming him around until it goes to the judges, or mainly push him down the pit :proud:

Good luck Joey :wink:

War Drum vs WYSIWYG: Do I need to predict - the majo question is will WYSIWYG survive in enough pieces to continue? :proud:

Youd better not mess this up Mark.

Knyfe vs. QE2:
Ill try and get around those sides and rear, and I dont need to penetrate the armour - if I can get the liter and axe working to clamp Knyfe, it is going down the pit...I also notice it has no active weapon, so if it goes to the judges Ill be able to rack up damage points at least.

Good luck Paul :wink:

War Drum vs. WYSIWYG
WYSIWYG is a tenth of War Drums weight, has little R/C car motors with car type steering, and plywood armour...I think we all know whos going to win here.

War Drum vs WYSIWYG

Our house bots today will be Growler, the mutt from Hades, and Magnavox, the Killalot like bot from Fight Against The House Robots Revisited.

3...2...1...Activate!

War Drum immediately rushes in towards WYSIWYG, who I will simply call YD (youre dead!) for special reasons.
SMASH!!!
The front panel and most of the electronics have been destroyed, the batteries are leaking acid, and the bot is on fire!!
SIZZLE SIZZLE SIZZLE!

War Drum pounds WYSIWYG to pieces, and goes through to the final!

Note: The only reason the battle was short is because Destructive Bot + Wooden Robot = Short Fight.

...Im bored of this place :yawn:

It still could have been a little longer Mark, and more detailed.
And may I ask that you dont copy my house robot introductions again- I think Ive used the mutt from Hades multiple times.

So have the Robot Wars people.

Just improve the battles

Knyfe vs Quaestor Evolution 2

These guys have a grudge.

Our house bots today will be the Matriarch of Mayhem: Matilda, and the fiery temper of Sgt. Bash.

3...2...1...Activate!

Knyfe immediately rushes towards QE2, who is standing his ground. The two machines hit head on, as Knyfe gets under QE2 and pushes him into the wall! A few scratches have been caused to QE2s titanium armour, but thats not effecting it as it manuevers to the side of Knyfe, gets under it, and clamps it, holding it in the air! We now see a mysterious bit of smoke coming out of QE2, who has set Knyfe down on the ground peacefully! Knyfe is let loose, and shoves QE2 into the CPZ of Matilda. Matilda rams the flywheel into QE2, who has gone flying in the air, to land upside down at the pit. Knyfe presses the pir release button, and shoves QE2 down the opening pit.

Quaestor.... Complicated name, simply defeated bot.

Knyfe goes through to the Grand Final!

Which will be War Drum vs Knyfe.

Send in tactics, predictions, and a robot for my friend Aaron (Not you Mr. Knight!).

Again, more details would be good...for example, why did QE2 die? Im not just saying that because I lost, you need to state why things happen.

Mark, until you rewrite that last fight Im withdrawing. I wasnt even in the fight, but why didnt the Quaestor drive away?
Get better at writing, then continue this tournament.

Im disapointed so far Mark, you open up a 4 bot tourney, get 4 people, ask for more without explaining why, and later withdraw your request for more followed up with 2 disapointing fights

All of this after you promised your tournament days were over

I am not convinced.

Leave the forum while youre not banned yet.

Im beginning to think my optimism was somewhat misplaced...

Your optimism was sunbathing in the Philippines, methinks...

That explains a lot...OPTIMISM! IF YOURE IN THE PHILIPPINES, WHERE THE snip IS MY PESSIMISM! :angry:

Guys, be fair. Not everyone is a Shakespeare and he is trying.

No, Leo, he is not trying. He is doing the same stuff over and over again and only listening to people just enough so that people will like him.

Have you even forgotten your own post from earlier?

quote:

You will take my advice?

Go and report yourself to a moderator and have him give you a timeout, and think about what you did to have so many people get so annoyed with you. In the mean time, stay of the forum, dont post anything and come back in when youve grown up. (which is not in 2 weeks time)

You really messed it up for yourself, people like Kody dont go flying of the handle like that

Im not giving him yet another chance. Sorry.

You dont like him and I dont blame you, but you could just ignore him and move on.

And yes, I would like some more detail in fights as well, but its hardly a offence to report him to a moderator is it?

As far as my advice goes; It still stands, but I am viewing this as objective as I can be. And apart from the fights being poorly written and a comment that made me fringe a bit Mark isnt doing so bad in this case. Wether he can keep it up is a different matter.

The fights havent been that bad. Short, yeah and an explanation for why QE2 suddenly died would be nice, but as for the War Drum vs WYSIWYG fight, was anyone expecting it to be competetive?

Well, getting back to fights.

Tactics and predictions for War Drum vs Knyfe, the final fight.

Leo and Frank: Thanks for defending me. Im just not an expert at creating long fights.

To answer your question, Frank:

One of the connections from one of the batteries broke, leaving Quaestor E2 Immobile for Knyfe to push into the pit.

Im going to stick with the 15mm Hardox hindged scoop, because itll be perfect for pushing under that drum without taking much damage. My plans are to ram it around and hopefully bust something inside, or shove it into oblivion (the pit).

Hmmmmmmmm...
The scoop is hinged? That means Ill easily tear it clean off, it doesnt matter the armour thickness

And these fights are better than the VRW ones anyway Mark, your getting there

Knyfe vs War Drum

Our house robots will be Matilda and Dead Metal.

3...2...1...Activate!

Knyfe immediately moves toward War Drums side, and rams it into the angle grinder. While Knyfe retreats, War Drum retaliates by slamming into the side of it. There are a few small scratches on Knyfes side panel, but thats not bothering it as it slams War Drum into the pit release button. War Drum almost falls into the pit, but heads toward the flame pit, to possibly attempt to burn Knyfe up. Knyfe is not falling for it, and Liam gets a little p***** off at Paul not trying to get him. Liam drives War Drum head on at Pauls machine, and.....
SMASH!!!!
The hinge has been broken, and the wedge has fallen off! However, almost all of the teeth on War Drums drum are gone! And War Drum ceases movement, but starts up again. It seems the impact has damaged the reciever, as War Drum stops moving again! Paul takes advantage of this by pushing the now moving War Drum onto the flame pit. War Drum is off the flame pit, and is that smoke...? Yes! Smoke is coming out of War Drums LEM-200 motor, and the drum ceases movement. The reciever mightve been melted a bit, since War Drum is not moving, and the Refbot comes in to count it out:
1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10!

War Drum is now immobilized, as Knyfe attacks Matilda, while Dead Metal attempts to cut War Drum into pieces.
CLANG!

Whats that? Oh no! Liam comes down from the booth, gets into the arena, and, using his very powerful Welsh muscles, pushes Dead Metal into the pit!

Cease!

Liam got revenge for War Drum, but cant stop the fact that KNYFE WINS THE COMPETITION!!!

However, just as Paul gets the Gold Trophy, Kody appears and attempts to take the trophy! But, Matilda is still alright, and slams into Kody with her flywheel.
YYYEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Kody flies into outer space, but comes down in 2 days and gets to work on a plan to build Tira IV, and kill me with it.

Its over!

Now, I must hide so Tira IV wont find me!

Goodbye!!

I thought I had limited the physics laws breach to within my tournament? Obviously not...

...

You, sir, are a full-grown idiot. You stole that ending from Joeys tournament, and you said you wouldnt steal again.

I saw the thing on your profile, as Liam pointed out. Your pointless hatred of me will earn you even more bad marks. And believe me, the way things are right now, I hate YOU more than you will ever hate ME. Instead of acting angry towards me, GET A CLUE. TAKE ADVICE. AND STOP STEALING. And maybe Ill back off.

As for the battle itself, a drum cannot lose all its teeth in one hit unless they were very poorly attached.

Sigh...seriously, I cannot understand at all why people like Leo and Frank are giving him so many chances when he is clearly unable to take them and use them efficiently. If he cannot take a hint, he can take a hike, plain and simple.
