ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
ROBOBASH Series 2
All right, just because I put up a new thread for a new tourney, doesn€™t mean I€™m necessarily going to start it now. This will start after the mini-tourney has been done. (Whenever that is :proud:)
The €œPush and Shove Arena€ is a 25 X 25m square, with thick polycarbonate walls that are 40cm high, so the robots can throw another robot OOTA a lot easier. The pit, pit release button, and the flipper are exactly the same position as the RW arena. The pit and flipper are 5ft wide and 5ft long, and the flipper can flip up to 1500kg as well. There are also kill-saws that spin at 6000RPM, which are located on the right side of the arena. The flame grill is located on the left side. The drop zone is located on the middle, and also...
This tournament contains house robots. Entering discretion is advised.

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
...Lian, I'd advise rechecking the stats of that thing :P 25mm titanium is a little bit thick, that thickness all over has a very good chance of being overweight by itself, never mind including the rest of the robot in it.
Some stats on the weapons would help as well, there are a million different types of pneumatic axes and sharpness thereof...and as the creator of a vapourbot, you're expected to know its dimensions XD I'd advise you check the Beginners Guide To Vapourbots, and try and come up with sections realistically for yourself as opposed to copying from peoples' stats things that you don't entirely understand. Being new I'd post stats in the How Could I Improve pt. 2 thread and get them approved before entering them in things :)
(oh, and I'll reserve while I'm here Sam :P)

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
joey its solved my memory is a bit crap :rofl:
-
Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
...it's still a bit vague, look at the stats of other vapours and - while trying not to copy their bits directly :P - look at them and learn from what they've used so you can use similar. 'big holes in sheet steel' and 'smash polycarbonate to pieces' are impressive sounding but unless you have stats to back that up you're just making empty threats :P
I'd still go on How Could I Improve and get your bots checked there, people there can offer better advice from past examples than I can at the beginning of Sam's tourney thread.

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
Wow, that was quick. :proud:
I'm still playing around with more ker-azy ideas for the line-up, so I'll reserve a spot for whenever Series 2 kicks off.

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...triguous-1.png
Intriguous (2)
Shape: Long low box.
Colour: Main body is black, and the reinforcing armour is a mix of mostly chartreuse, and other greens.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 LEM130 Lynch motors, undervolted at 24 volts and geared on a 9:1 ratio for better acceleration.
Power: 7 M1 A123 Lithium-Ion packs, weighing in at 5.6kg.
Motivation: 4WD on a simple skid steer; the tyres are grooved for better acceleration and are foam-filled with a urethane coating in-between the grooves of the tyres. This coating is the same as used on Storm II.
Speed: 12mph, should get to that immediately.
Armour: A one-piece 4mm Hardox monocoque, so that individual panels cannot be simply torn off. Surrounding that are several 7.5mm Grade 5 titanium bars and pipes. Skirt and wedge supportings are 5mm titanium, the skirts themselves are 5mm titanium as well, and the front hinged wedge is 5mm Hardox. The axe shaft and head are also titanium. 5mm Hardox panels can be placed around the tyres on top, in case there's an axe or crusher I am fighting.
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front and sides owing to the front wedge and side skirts. The skirts at the sides are detachable, depending on what opponent I am facing. Underneath that, and the rear, it's 15mm.
Turning Circle: Spins on the spot, so 0.
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 102 x 82 x 16
Weaponry: A pneumatic axe, running off a similar system to RFL superheavyweight robot, The Judge. Intriguous uses 2 custom 2.5kg CO2 tanks and a gigantic 225mm stroke 200mm bore ram for its axe, and it has enough power for 15 full pressure shots which should cause some major damage to any kind of armour. If per chance the axe somehow is taken off, Intriguous can use the front wedge to ram other bots around.
Srimech: Axe, but it can run invertible if the axe gets ripped off somehow and the wheel protectors are off.
Notes: This is a Rhino render, not a 3DS Max render.
BIO: Intrigue's come a long way from being a sub-par axe bot with a terrible ground clearance to a huge heavy hitting axer. Now in its 4th generation...and it just won the Pussycat Tribute Tournament: Regeneration, thus making it my most successful vapourbot family. I will never understand how this happened. XD

Tira VI (3)
Shape: How do I explain this without referring to the render...I guess I can't. Look at it. Now. :P And for those who can't see it, err...oh boy, umm...she's a reverse wedge with rounded sides and front 'wings' that come out from the sides and run along the ground. She also has two front prongs connected to the rear front-hinged flipper. These prongs surround the disc.
Colour: Mix of reds, oranges, and browns.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: LEM130 Lynch motors @ 36.3v, geared 6:1.
Power: 11 M1 A123 Lithium-Ion battery packs.
Motivation: Inner 4WD. CNC hubs, urethane coated just like Storm II's wheels.
Speed: 13mph (geared to acceleration)
Armour: 5mm Ti/V for pretty much the entire body except the prongs. The prongs are 5mm Hardox. The rear skirt is 6mm Grade 5 titanium.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front (10mm under the disc), 0mm at the rear with the skirt on (5mm without skirt), 10mm at the sides of the 'wings' and 15mm at the actual sides.
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 110 x 85 x 35
Weaponry: Tira VI continues the trend of having a vertical disc, and thus in this incarnation she has a 13kg titanium vertical disc at the front, sporting 3 2kg teeth, powered by the same 3125XP Husqvarna chainsaw engine used last time. It can dish out about 45kJ at 1250RPM, but it doesn't go higher than that. She can reach 1250RPM in approximately 1 second thanks to some decent geardown (indirect thanks to Tom Roper for that :P). It's meant for fast hits, not severe shocks (although those aren't fazed out of the equation really, 45kJ is rather a lot in itself. :proud:)
The second weapon is a front-hinged flipper. At the rear, that is. However, it's not really used much as a weapon, more of a srimech than anything, but as an afterthought, a skirt is at the rear to compensate the 5mm ground clearance under the flipper. There are prongs attached to the flipper, fixated between the front disc, so if a rammer tries anything funny on the disc, the prongs are there to act as a rear-hinged flipper and toss them up and over. The flipper itself is powered by a 1kg CO2 tank and 75mm x 50mm ram, so she has 15 flips.
Srimech: Flipper
BIO: After struggling to find a good design, with some help I've managed to pull this off. Tira V had srimech issues, but this version doesn't thanks to the lower stance, front 'wings' and wider back. Now then...let's play, shall we? Your move. :proud:

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k.../7roubloon.png
7roubloon (8)
Shape: See the render for accuracy - it's a box with a front plow/wedge and inverted reverse plow/wedge. Has spikes on the sides.
Colour: Render tells all.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 S28-400 MagMotors slightly overvolted @ 26.4v and geared 6:1 for average mix of speed, acceleration, and control
Power: 8 M1 A123 Lithium-Ion packs
Motivation: The main change here is the new 4WD 7roubloon has over last generation. This means 7roubloon will be much more stable after a hit. The wheels are inner, and are 17.5cm diameter CNC aluminium hubs with the usual urethane tires
Speed: 13mph
Armour: 5mm Ti/V alloy all around, slightly tougher than the 3.2mm Hardox from Troubloon 6.
Chassis: 5mm steel ladder chassis, sturdy and able to bear heavy hits.
Ground Clearance: 2.5cm under the disc, 1.5cm everywhere else
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 95 x 85 x 17.5 (14.5cm without wheels)
Weaponry: 7roubloon retains its front and rear horizontal discs from last generation, only now they weight about 5kg more, and are angled by about 15 degrees, so when fighting wedges, they are much more effective. Well, at least the front one is. The rear one is angled the other way, just in case a flipper decides to flip 7roubloon, in which case it will work exactly the same way up. Not that the rear disc can't hit anything, it's 15cm off the ground so bots with higher height than that should beware. Each disc is run on an S28-400 MagMotor run at 26.4v and powered by respective A123 packs. Geardown on the discs is about 3:1 so they should get to 2000rpm in about 5 seconds and have about 85kJ each to dish out.
Srimech: Invertible.
BIO: Basically radically altering Troubloon 6 after Troubloon 6's long stay in the field of activity.

Super Gore Septua (14)
Shape: The front is straight and flat (behind the scoop :P), sides and rear kinda meet as shown in the render.
Colour: Lots of blues and blacks, with bloodied-red claws on the tips and the far edges. The name's on top. The scoop's blue and red.
Weight: 110kg
Drive: 2 C40-300 MagMotors run @ 36.3 volts, geared 6:1
Power: 11 M1 A123 Lithium-Ion packs in parallel
Motivation: Two Grade 5 titanium tracks; each track has thin strips of rubber for better grip.
Speed: 12mph average, can get to 20mph but it's geared more towards acceleration
Armour: 7mm 7075 aluminium/zinc alloy, with an 6mm polycarb baseplate. The claws are sharpened 15mm Grade 5 titanium and the inner bearings and bulkheads are 10mm aluminium. The skirts are 3mm Grade 5 titanium and the scoop is 6mm Hardox 600.
Ground Clearance: The front's 0 under the scoop, and 5mm behind it. Same with the side skirts: 0 under them, 5mm behind them. There's 5mm clearance at the rear as well.
Turning Circle: 0
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH)
With claws: 100x80x20
Without claws: 70x70x20
Weaponry
1) Pneumatic crusher: it has 2 horizontal claws, each claw is powered by a big 150mm bore 90mm stroke ram and a 2kg CO2 bottle, at full pressure. Now they only come in piercing variety; gone are the interchangeable clamping claws. This should be enough to exert upwards of 25+ tonnes at both rams together, and 10+ tonnes at the tips. This should be enough to damage at least minimum thickness Hardox.
2) Front scoop with little titanium claws atop to trap opponents. Basically they'll slide onto the plow, get trapped, and get squeezed.
Srimech: Invertible.
BIO: Super Gore now becomes a pneumatic horizontal crusher, with two large rams for huge damage potential. Kinda sacrifices some armour but meh. :P In its 7th generation now.

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...eungMinaVI.png
Seung Mina VI (21)
Shape: Gone back to the original III design with a few twists. She's a long, low wedge with the flipping arm in the middle, and sloped, curved sides. The rear is a reversed wedge, but rounded off at the bottom where the 2WD pokes out.
Colour: Mix of whites and greens, with some red accents thrown in.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 LEM130 Lynch motors run at 49.5v, gearing is an average 6:1; no overkill, but no slouching either.
Power: 15 M1 A123 Lithium-Ion battery packs
Motivation: 2WD inner; 200mm CNC hubs with the usual urethane tires. The wheels are big to provide more traction while still giving more weight at the front of the robot so the flipper gets under bots easier.
Speed: 16mph
Armour: 6mm Ti/V alloy with the flipping arm made out of 8mm Ti/V. The top claws are titanium and the underbelly is 10mm polycarbonate.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front, rising at the sides from that to 10mm at the rear.
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 105 x 102 x 30
Weaponry: You know the drill for the Seung Mina series of vapourbots...what? You don't? Fine. It's a rear-hinged flipping arm, powered by 2 2.5kg CO2 tanks, a 5L buffer tank, and a 250mm stroke 100mm bore ram. This gives Mina enough power to easily clear about 2 tonnes, and has enough in the tank for 25 full power flips. The ram is positioned underneath the middle of the flipping arm.
Also, the spikes from the SM3 design return, only they're more pointy and curved. They're to trap wedges that try to fly over SM6.
Srimech: Flipper
BIO: The Achilles clone hasn't had much luck, so we're going back to a winning design! SM6 has all that SM3 had, and more!

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...ginator9-1.png
Wedginator 9.0 (23)
Shape: Low/medium-sloping wedge with steeply sloping sides and a rounded rear
Colour: Alligator texturing, cobalt cage, and reddish rear panel and lifting spikes. The face is dropped from 9.0 because it'd be hard to get on there. I'll save it for next generation.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 LEM130 Lynch motors, volted at 36.3v and geared on a 4.5:1 reduction.
Power: 11 M1 A123 Li-Ion packs with polypropylene cell holders so the batteries don't get damaged during battles
Motivation: 4WD inner; the front two are standard wheels hubs are CNC aluminium and the urethane tires are foam-filled. The rear two are omni-wheels, similar to those of Root Canal; the purpose of these rear wheels is to help Wedginator move around the arena faster and turn without sacrificing speed or power.
Speed: 14mph, geared towards a high acceleration for quick sprints.
Armour: Rather complicated; the main body is a 4mm Hardox monocoque, but bolted to/around that is a sort of cage that runs from the front ends along the side ground clearances and where the front and sides meet to the rear where it forms that bar set-up seen on Wedgin8or. The cage is 5mm titanium/vanadium alloy, and behind the rear bars, also like Wedgin8or, is another panel made of 15mm HDPE to absorb blows.
Ground Clearance: 0mm front, 10mm everywhere else
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 105 x 75 x 22
Weaponry: The first weapon is a pair of joint titanium lifting arms ending in spikes, which run all the way up the wedge. They're about 5cm wide and are powered by a linear actuator which is positioned right under it. They can lift about 500kg and can rotate from with the wedge to 105 degrees off the wedge, getting there in about 1 second, so it's a relatively fast weapon, as fast to pneumatics as you can get.
The second weapon is a pneumatic spike stationed halfway up the wedge and between the two arms. It's also made of titanium and has a hardened steel tip. Powered by a 2kg CO2 tank, it can exert approximately 900kg at the tip. It can pierce tires, underbellies, and can flip opponent onto their backs should they fall that far up the wedge, thus acting as a front-hinged flipper. Fires about 30 times.
Srimech: Either the arms or the spike, but the spike's faster. If I can get away with it, I'd prefer using the arms since I won't waste gas for the spike.
BIO: And here we have yet another Wedginator. Lotsa good stuff here; half-omnidrive and a lifter/spike conjunction, with a lovely casing to upset those spinners. Let's see how this one does, then...

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...obiteSigma.png
Killobite Sigma (25)
Shape: Please look at the render, lol. It's a pentagon wedge of sorts, with the rear panels angled ever so slightly with the front sloping down about 27o.
Colour: Pic is self-explanatory, lol
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 S28-400s, run at 24v, and geared 4.5:1.
Power: 4 NiCad Battlepacks
Motivation: 4WD, similar to Razer. Urethane rubber for tires, CNC hubs for wheels.
Speed: 12mph; 18mph max.
Armour: 6mm Ti/V monocoque, with 3.2mm Hardox bars surrounding it.
Chassis: 5mm steel
Ground Clearance: The forks run along the ground, and can press into the ground via the lifter powering it, so absolute zero at the front, probably less than that. 20mm at the sides and rear, so it can try to drive away if wedged slightly. Skirts are overrated. :P
Turning Circle: 0
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 110 x 75 x 50 (with claw; 20cm height without the claw)
Weaponry: The hardened steel crushing arm from Killobites 5.0 and Hex returns, and it is much much larger than either of those two incarnations. It's powered by a Vivoil pump, a LEM130 run on 48v, and appropriate NiCad batteries. It should put out approximately 25 tonnes at the ram, and 15 at the tip, making it very dangerous weapon to get caught by. It should at the very least dent moderate Hardox armour, and absolutely decimate any less armour it comes into contact with. The second weapons are the lifting forks at the front. They're powered by a lightweight linear actuating system and can lift about 250kg. They run flush with the ground and can lift 90 degrees in both directions, meaning they can press into the ground and negate any hinged/sprung/solid wedge attempts and get under them instantly, while the crusher comes into play. A deadly weapons synergy to fight.
Srimech: A S28-150 activates a bungee-cord mechanism, which in turn activates the two 'wings' on the sides of the claw. It may be Razer-esque, but it's proven to work. :P Plus the angle of Killobite Sigma at the rear is such that it can't fall onto those sides and remain there; it'll get forced into a position where it can self-right.
BIO: A deadly new version of Killobite, and the most lethal yet. Sigma was just a cool end-name to put at the end of it. :P

Macduff the 5th (28)
Shape: Low box with a flat front, pointed sides (with removable skirts), and rounded rear.
Colour: Varying shades of blue, with silver-ish weapon attachments and skirt hinges, and the Scotland flag on top.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 LEM130 Lynch motors run on 49.5 volts, geared 4.5:1 for better acceleration than previously.
Power: 5 packs each of 15 M1 A123 Lithium-Ion cells.
Motivation: 6WD; the wheel hubs are CNC aluminium and the tires are Storm 2-esque urethane rubber.
Speed: 15mph average; can get up to 30mph
Armour: A 7.5mm Ti/V alloy monocoque, with extra 5mm Ti/V on the angled sides and rear. Side skirts are 5mm Grade 5 titanium. Weapon armour will be explained in said section.
Chassis: 5mm steel ladder
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front with all set-ups except the drum, 15mm everywhere else.
Turning Circle: 0
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 100 x 80 x 15
Weaponry: Macduff has interchangeable weaponry. Set-ups are below:
SET-UP 1 - A pair of titanium lifting forks, diamond-tipped, powered by a lightweight linear actuator and can hoist 300kg. This makes Macduff's max weight about 97kg. Used against robots that attack with wedges, and bots that have skirts and low ground clearances. The main set-up.
SET-UP 2 - A 5mm Hardox wedge, powered by the same system. Makes Macduff's weight the full 100kg. Used against invertible FBSs.
SET-UP 3 - A angled, convex ramming bar made of 15mm Ti/V, built to withstand tough hits. Held in place with steel mounts, bulkheads, shock-padding, etc. Used against powerful, seemingly one-hit KO spinners. Removes the linear actuator but makes the full weight 100kg anyway.
SET-UP 4 - A small rear-hinged flipper made of 5mm Hardox, and powered by a 1.5kg CO2 tank and a 75mm x 50mm ram. Can flip over about 250kg and can right Macduff if needed, and has about 20 flips. Has a 5mm titanium 50cm long extension. Makes Macduff's weight about 99kg. Used if needed to tip over opponents quickly.
SET-UP 5 - A hardened steel spinning drum, ala Tornado, powered by a LEM130 Lynch motor at 36 volts. This removes the extra armouring on the sides and rear to accommodate the drum. The drum has two tungsten teeth to flip opponents quickly. The drum is 30cm wide, extrudes 15cm from the front, and is used against opponents with flipping arms, forks, and other attachments.
Srimech: Invertible with all set-ups, but SET-UP 4 can right Macduff.
BIO: Wider wheelbase, sleeker forks, skirts instead of spikes, rounded rear, new drum set-up...Macduff the 5th may seem like a mere freshening, but it ain't. Get ready for a whole new level of pain, laddies! :proud:

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
1
Robot Name: Maximum Genocide
Shape: Triangle, ala Y-Pout
Weight: 100kg
Length: 80cm
Width: 80cm
Height: 12cm
Motivation: 3 x internal hardox wheels, one in each point, 125mm in diameter.
Drive: 3 x S24-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 3 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks to make a Y-Drive, one powering each wheel
Armour: 4mm hardox monocoque plus internal shockproofing
Weaponry: At each point of the triangle there are curved tungsten carbide claws that catch onto other robots when the robot spins with the Y-drive, but this is only part of the weapon. On top of the robot there is a horizontal Tornado-Mer style spinning blade, powered another 3 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 3 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks to reach top speeds of 2500rpm in 2 seconds, as the blade weighs 25kg. It spins in the opposite direction to the robot, and is 90cm long so it reaches out 5cm each point, exactly the same as the claws so that there is a huge amount of damage caused.
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: It€™s a Y-Drive
Ground Clearance: 10mm
Srimech: Gyroscopic forces ala Tornado Mer will act on the blade, flipping it back over
Colour: Black with yellow stripes, the claws are red to look like blood, as is the blade.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: Can€™t push anything
Notes: My first attempt at a Y-Drive and now Genocide/Forza has left its roots as a full body spinner to become a more original machine with dual spinning weapons.
2
Robot Name: LockJaw v3
Shape: Triangles at either side where the wheels would normally be, then on the right of the left triangle and on the left of the right triangle imagine a vertical claw. Then add a scoop in between the claws and put a third claw in the middle of the scoop, built into the scoop so it is invisible until it opens wider or closes.
Weight: 100kg
Length: 55cm
Width: 90cm
Height: 20cm (with claws shut) / 45cm (with claws fully open)
Motivation: The triangles at either end of the robot are wheel pods, as in each one is a 6mm hardox wheel with a vulcanised tyre. The wheels are both 220mm in diameter and mostly protected, but exposed from the three sides of the triangle. This allows it to run anyway up, but without having to put the drive in reverse.
Drive: 2 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 2 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks
Armour: As it€™s an axlebot there isn€™t much armour, but the wheel pods are made of 6mm hardox, and the 1cm scoop is made of grade 2 titanium.
Weaponry: The two outer claws are fast, but not powerful. They are each powered by an over-volted Litton motor @ 36v for fast grabbing. They merely hold the opponent in place while the middle claw comes into play, powered by hydraulics from a vivoil pump actuated by an S28-400 magmotor @ 24v running at 3000psi (5000psi if the tournament permits it). This claw can crunch through thin hardox and itself is made of tungsten carbide with serrated edges like the other two. The claws can open wider if the opponent is too high for them to grab. When they do this they dig their bottom prong into the ground ala Big Nipper, meaning they can get under 0 ground clearance, but nothing will get under them. This will not only be used against tall robots, but flippers or other wedges. 2 x NiCad battlepacks @ 24v run the magmotor to operate the hydraulic pump.
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at front, less than zero if the claws open fully. It€™s an axlebot though so doesn€™t really have much of a ground clearance.
Srimech: The robots runs exactly the same when flipped upside down, I don€™t even have to put the drive in reverse due to the triangular wheel pods giving it three drive positions.
Colour: Unpainted
Strengths: Unique, flipping it does nothing
Weaknesses: Tricky to control
Notes: The original LockJaw was Stinger with a claw between the wheels, and failed miserably in its only fight. LockJaw Epidemic introduced two separate claws, but they were electric and not powerful enough. Version 3 provides the best of both worlds.
3
Robot Name: Apocalypse II
Weight: Roughly 100kg
Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, ala Storm II. The front wedge is angled at 30* to get under opponents, and the sides are sloped at 42* to deflect spinners. The rear is rounded for easier self-righting.
Length: 80cm
Width: 60cm
Height: 15cm
Motivation: 2 x internal HDPE wheels, each are 125mm in diameter and they have vulcanised tyres for extra grip, plus they are mounted like Tazbot€™s for more manouevrability. They are in the front of the robot so that the front turns rather than the rear, ala Merlin.
Drive: 2 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 2 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks; this should provide about 9 horsepower.
Armour: 3.2mm hardox monocoque for the most part, strengthened in certain key areas with extra 5mm titanium/vanadium alloy sheeting.
Weaponry: The robot is a decent pusher, but on top there are three sets of Mute-style barbs, one on each side and one running down the flipper arm. These are tungsten tipped to allow it to trap robots on top, and once their stuck on top they can€™t get free.
The second weapon is what I use to get rid of the robot stuck on the barbs. It is a Bio-Hazard style 4-bar flipping arm, but unlike Bio-Hazard it is run off full pressure pneumatics, meaning it will easily throw robots out of the arena. It is 30cm wide and runs down the centre of the robot, made of 4mm hardox and powered by a 120mm x 100mm bore stroke ram @ 750psi from a 1.5kg gas bottle, giving it about 10 flips per round, which should be enough. On the front of the flipper arm there is a strip of 8mm grade 2 titanium, which should aid in getting under the other robots
Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 0 at front, 8mm at sides and rear, but this is protected by 5mm titanium torsion-sprung skirts made of grade 2 titanium.
Turning Circle: Using the skid steer system ala Razer gives Apocalypse II a 0 turning circle
Srimech: The 4-bar flipper can right it in less than a second, but to conserve gas there is an electric srimech hinged at the rear of the robot. This is the two strips of barbs on either side of the machine lifting up to vertical via a Bosch 750w motor run @ 28.8v from a NiCad battlepack. This rights the robot in 1 second, and can also be used offensively to tip opponents stuck on the barbs into the pit
Colour: This new Apocalypse keeps the colour scheme of the old one, with dark blue bodywork and a red weapon.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry, unique strategy
Weaknesses: Limited gas for the flipper
Notes: This new Apocalypse trades the powerful drive motors of the old one for more armour, as well as bringing in a new 4-bar system and a new srimech idea, albeit with less gas for the flipper. This shouldn€™t effect it too much though as the lifter can still be used to dump opponents in the pit or stack them against a wall. The previous robot enjoyed some success, and hopefully this new, more original version will build on that.
Last time the emphasis was more on the flipper, but this time around the focus is more on the barbs, which were under-used last time and so this time around the design is focused around the barbs instead of around the flipper.
4
Robot Name: Brutalis 2.1
Shape: Dantomkia, but with the front spikes hinged
Weight: 100kg
Length: 65cm
Width: 70cm
Height: 15cm
Motivation: 2 x HDPE internal wheels, 125mm in diameter and sloped like Tazbot for more manouevrability.
Drive: 2 x LEM-130 lynch motors run @ 48v from 6 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks
Armour: 3.75mm hardox monocoque
Weaponry: The main weapon is the front hinged flipper, powered by a 120mm x 100mm bore stroke ram @ 145psi from a 1.5kg co2 bottle, giving 15-20 flips per round due to the low pressure. It is capable of pushing robots OOTA of it gets the chance, but is better at turning robots over and than throwing them. Also there is a strip of Mute-style barbs running up the flipper to get robots stuck on it. And finally on either front spike there is a tungsten spike pointing sideways, so when the robot spins it can act as a thwackbot.
Speed: 17mph average
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at front and effectively the same at sides and rear due to 7mm skirts torsion-sprung and made of grade 2 titanium, but behind the skirts is 6mm at the sides and 15mm at the rear.
Srimech: The flipper can right the robot quickly, easily and repeatedly if need be
Colour: Black bodywork, with red skirts and a gold flipper.
Strengths: Very durable, well-armoured, good pushing power
Weaknesses: Flipper isn€™t very powerful, no real damaging weaponry
Notes: This new version of Brutalis ditches the full pressure flipper and heaps of gas from the old one for thicker armour and slightly more powerful drive. The strategy is to push and bully robots around the arena with the pushing power and the flipper, rolling and tossing them around and into the pit or even out of the arena. If it can€™t manage either of those then it will be aiming for dominance in order to swing a judge€™s decision, and due to the tough armour it won€™t be too down in the damage department despite lacking any real damaging weaponry.
and I'd also like to enter 4 brand new robots :D stats ASAP, maybe today, but at the latest Sunday I should think if that's OK :P

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
Just a thought.
The spinning blade on maximum genocide should really spin the same way as the robot. By spinning it in the opposite direction you reduce it's speed relative to the target making it less effective possibly even useless.
Spinning them both in the same direction however means the blade is spinning even faster and has more kinetic energy meaning more damage.

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
OK so none of these are strictly new, but I was out of ideas :P
First, edited stats for Maximum Genocide (thanks for pointing that out dude, sorry can't remember/don't know your name :P)
Robot Name: Maximum Genocide
Shape: Triangle, ala Y-Pout
Weight: 100kg
Length: 80cm
Width: 80cm
Height: 12cm
Motivation: 3 x internal hardox wheels, one in each point, 125mm in diameter.
Drive: 3 x S24-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 3 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks to make a Y-Drive, one powering each wheel
Armour: 4mm hardox monocoque plus internal shockproofing
Weaponry: At each point of the triangle there are curved tungsten carbide claws that catch onto other robots when the robot spins with the Y-drive, but this is only part of the weapon. On top of the robot there is a horizontal Tornado-Mer style spinning blade, powered another 3 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 3 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks to reach top speeds of 2500rpm in 2 seconds, as the blade weighs 25kg. It spins in the same direction as the robot, and is 90cm long so it reaches out 5cm each point, exactly the same as the claws so that there is a huge amount of damage caused.
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: It€™s a Y-Drive
Ground Clearance: 10mm
Srimech: Gyroscopic forces ala Tornado Mer will act on the blade, flipping it back over
Colour: Black with yellow stripes, the claws are red to look like blood, as is the blade.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: Can€™t push anything
--
5
Robot Name: Volde
Shape: Box with wedges on all sides
Weight: 100kg
Length: 90cm
Width: 90cm
Height: 25cm
Motivation: 2 x internal 80mm diameter wheels with vulcanised tyres
Drive: 2 x Bosch 750w motors @ 36v
Batteries: 3 x 12v A123 batteries
Armour: 3.2mm hardox, the base armour is 4mm aluminium
Weaponry: All three weapons work in unison to clamp opponents:
1) Overhead axe, powered by an S28-400 @ 24v, it is 90cm long and made of titanium
2) Splinter-style side arms, each powered by an S28-400 @ 24v Each is identical to the axe. There are hinged, and so when the lifting plate lifts and the axe goes up they do too
3) A Complete Control style lifting plate, powered by an S28-400 @ 24v, it is made of titanium and runs flat to the ground to get under skirts and 0 ground clearance
None of the weapons are designed to damage the opponent, just hold them in place
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at front, 7mm elsewhere
Srimech: The axe can right the robot quickly and easily
Colour: Dark blue bodywork with red and gold weapons, the name wriiten in green on the sides and in purple on the rear
Strengths: Weapon Synergy
Weaknesses: No damaging weaponry
6
Robot Name: Helix
Shape: Tornado (including the angled rear) with angled sides, skirts and a front wedge
Weight: 100kg
Length: 80cm
Width: 80cm
Height: 9cm
Motivation: 4 x vulcanised wheels
Drive: 2 x S28-400s at 24v, 9HP, powered by 2 x NiCad battlepacks
Armour: 3.25mm hardox top, sides, front and rear, 5mm titanium skirts and 5mm aluminium base
Weaponry:
1)The front wedge is made of 3.25mm hardox and has a wedge extender for zero ground clearance at the front
2)A front 65cm long hardox axe, the head is shaped like Excalibur€™s from RW3 and it€™s on a rack and pinion system ala Terrorhurtz. It is powered by a 140mm stroke, 80mm bore cylinder at 1000psi from 1 x 2kg nitrogen bottles, the point is tungsten tipped and the underside serrated to really dig into opponents, it is on a rack and pinion system and there is enough gas to provide about 15 hits per fight which should be more than enough considering the power in each hit, there is about 2 tonnes of force in each hit when at full pressure and is enough to destroy aluminium, punch holes in titanium and even dent hardox
3)There are two tungsten tipped hardox spikes on either end of the angled rear
4)The front wedge lifts up via a linear actuator, this is used to flip opponents and attack their base armour with the axe or to lift and then ram or clamp when using this in unison with the axe. It has two spikes that run flush to the floor to help get under other robots
5) Not exactly a weapon, but it has a vacuum device to suck the robot to the floor. This is used to counter-act the effects of the axe and help it fight rammers and flippers. It can be turned on and off throughout the match, but unless I say so assume it will be turned on.
Top Speed: 17mph
Ground Clearance: Effectively 0 all round due to wedge at front and skirts at sides and rear, but 20mm behind them, they are all joined together with tungsten hinges to make them extremely hard to break
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The axe is long enough to right it over the wedge
Colour: Black with some green and red
Strengths: Powerful axe and decent pushing power
Weaknesses: High GC behind the skirts
Notes: Plenty of shock-proofing
7
Robot Name: Final Resting Place
Shape: Cylinder
Weight: 100kg
Length: 85cm
Width: 85cm
Height: 15cm
Motivation: 8 x Big Nipper style small wheels, 4 on top and 4 on the bottom, they are made of HDPE and have vulcanised tyres
Drive: 4 x S28-150s @ 24v, 6HP
Batteries: 4 x NiCad Battlepacks
Armour: 1mm titanium for the side (though that is untouchable) and 5mm hardox on top and base
Weaponry: A spinning spike ring similar to that of Del-Dog's (RW UK vs. Germany special), it runs the full circumference of the robot and spins up to 3000rpm in 3 seconds courtesy of a LEM-130 @ 48v. It weighs 25kg and can reach 1500rpm in 1.5 seconds, from where it can produce 72.5Kj, so at 3000rpm it can deliver 145Kj. To protect from its own and other hits it has internal shockproofing, the ring itself is made of 10mm titanium. The blades are curved spikes made of tungsten and weighing 2.5kg each, they are part of the ring so cannot be ripped off. This weapon is capable of serious damage
Speed: 20mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 8mm
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Red, with name in green on top and base and a gold ring with sapphire blades
8
Robot Name: System Shock 5.1
Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, the front wedge is angled at 60* to flip opponents and the sides are angled at 42* to deflect spinners, the front wedge has a 3cm long extension with a Firestorm-style blade, this extension is angled at 30* to get right in underneath opponents, then ram them so they get flipped by the main 60* wedge, it also has a Tornado style angled rear
Weight: 110kg
Length: 65cm
Width: 85cm
Height: 9cm
Motivation: 4 x CNC Aluminium internal, but invertible wheels (110mm in diameter), they have a v-belt groove in the treads and a v-belt between the wheels so they count as tracks, but if they break the robot is not affected at all and the robot simply becomes a wheeled robot, leaving the tracks behind.
Drive: 4 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v by 4 x NiCad battlepacks @ 24v
Armour: 4mm hardox monocoque, with 6mm in key areas
Weaponry: As before the robot is primarily a rammer, but it has a powerful new top mounted weapon. This is a 50cm diameter titanium horizontal spinning disc, with 10cm long hooked blades that are part of the disc itself so they can€™t be ripped off from their own impacts. This is situated on top of the robot itself, and the blades reach just over the top of the front wedge and the rear. The tracks/wheels are higher than the disc, so it can still run inverted with this setup and use the disc as the blades are long enough. The disc is spun by 2 x S28-400 magmotors @ 24v and weighs 25kg, so can reach top speeds of 3000rpm in just 2 seconds. This disc also feeds kinetic energy to the drive via a clutch, so the kinetic energy stored in the disc can be used for 50mph slams against other robots, which with the robot€™s front wedge is enough to throw robots out of the arena Storm II-style.
Speed: Can be pushed to 28mph, but mostly kept lower for more control (about 17mph). With kinetic energy boost it reaches 50mph in less than a few seconds. The motors are geared towards acceleration so it can reach top speeds very quickly.
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front, 10mm the rest of the way around, but that is protected by 5mm titanium hinged skirts at the sides and rear that flop over when the robot is inverted
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Goes back to the original colour scheme with light blue bodywork and the name written in yellow, this time on the front wedge

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
Sorry for the wait, lads. Here's my team for series two!
TEAM BRAVEHEART :proud:
1. Wedge Devolution
2. Killotine: EVO
3. Spin Dash Unleashed (Formerly Metal Sonic Spin Dash)
4. Mornington Crescent (Replacing Whirligig 4.5)
5. E Clawdius Unum
6. Traffic Warden
7. Venus Fly Trap II
8. Pussycat (RW7)
STATS:
1. Wedge Devolution
SHAPE- low wedge with sloped rear
COLOUR- sleek and shiny silver
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 90cm X 75cm X 30cm
SPEED- 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front, 7mm for the rest of the robot. Fitted with Biohazard-style skirts on sides and rear, giving 0mm
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
WHEELS- inside robot, 4-wheel drive
POWER- 2 X LEM-130s; 2 x 12v 3amp NiCad packs, giving 36v @ 12amp
WEAPONS- As usual, the main weapon is a rear-hinged flipper. This is very similar to Chaos 2, except the blade at the bottom is bent ala Bigger Brother, allowing the flipper to have greater effect against bots with skirts or low centres of gravity. The flipper itself is powered by 2 X 80mm high pressure pneumatic rams, each running at 250psi. This should allow Wedge Devo to comfortably flip up to 1 tonne.
SRIMECH- The flipper can right the machine easily and the rear wedge should hopefully prevent a Chaos-style self-flip. Also, Wedge Devo is equipped with a grey semi-sphere on either side of robot to prevent it getting stuck on its side
NOTES- flashing red light on top of robot, flies Scotland flag
STRENGTHS- powerful flipper, fast, manoeuvrable, difficult to get underneath, tough armour, good traction
WEAKNESSES- could prove a bit tricky to control, limited CO2 (like all other flippers )
PIC- http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/7555 ... ionza6.png
2. Killotine: EVO
SHAPE- compact box-wedge ala Storm 2, rounded back
COLOUR- red
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 70cm X 35cm
SPEED- 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front with spatula, 10mm at sides and back. Skirts at sides and back produce 0mm.
ARMOUR- 3.25mm Hardox
WHEELS- inside robot, 4WD
POWER- 2 X LEM-130s; 2 x 12v 3amp NiCad packs, giving 36v @ 12amp
WEAPONS- The main weapon is the large pneumatic axe, composed of 3.5mm hardox. It is very similar to that of Killerhurtz and operates with a rack-and-pinion system like Terrorhurtz. Running on 160psi, the axe runs off an 80mm X 20mm ram and stores its gas in a 2kg main bottle and 1kg buffertank. If anything goes wrong with the axe, Killotine can use its great pushing power to simply ram its opponents to death.
SRIMECH- The axe. Even if it€™s already been fired while flipped, the axe can right itself ala Killerhurtz. Also, just like the original Killotine, the machine has a rounded back and a red semi-sphere on either side of robot to stop it getting beached.
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, thanks to Tom, Aaron & AJ for helping with the design
STRENGTHS- Fast, dangerous weapon, good amount of traction, difficult to get under, quick srimech, nice and fast
WEAKNESSES- so-so turning, limited gas supply
PIC- http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8806 ... evocw0.png
3. Spin Dash Unleashed (formerly Metal Sonic Spin Dash)
SHAPE- skirted box, with rounded sides and back.
COLOUR- dark blue bodywork, with red-and-white striped skirting.
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 75cm X 20cm
SPEED- 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm all round, 10mm at sides and rear without skirts.
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- inner, 6WD
POWER- 2 x LEM-130s. These run at 36v and produce approximately 18hp.
WEAPONS- A horizontal Pussycat-style saw blade on the front. The blade is mounted on the underbelly ala Code:BLACK and is designed to chew up skirts and wheels. It is powered by an S28-150 Magmotor and runs at 3000rpm. Its 18hp and shape also makes it an excellent battering ram.
SRIMECH- invertible. The rounded sides and rear also prevent it getting beached.
NOTES- flies Scotland flag.
STRENGTHS- excellent traction, fast, tough armour, low weaponry, invertible
WEAKNESSES- untested, so-so manoueverability, saw blade less effective upside-down
PIC- http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5359 ... sh6ta1.png
4. Mornington Crescent (replacing Whirligig 4.5)
SHAPE- flat cylinder
COLOUR- white, with the London Underground sign for Mornington Crescent on the top and bottom
WEIGHT- approx 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 20cm
SPEED- 12mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 8mm
ARMOUR- 3.5mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- 4 x inner wheels
POWER- 2 x S28-400 Magmotors, running at 24v
WEAPONS- Mornington Crescent is armed with not one, but TWO outer spinning rings, one on top of the other. The top ring spins anticlockwise, while the bottom ring spins clockwise. Each ring has four teeth and weighs about 10kg. The rings are powered by an LEM-130 running at 36v each and can reach speeds of 1500rpm. The two rings spinning in alternate directions should also help the robot be easier to drive - theoretically, anyway.
SRIMECH- invertible
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, thanks to Joey and Andy for helping with stats
STRENGTHS- two spinners for the price of one, nippy, manoueverable, tough, more controlled than regular ring spinners
WEAKNESSES- wheels open to axes and crushers, unpredictable bouncing?
PIC- http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/5661/m ... escent.bmp
5. E Clawdius Unum
SHAPE- skirted wedge with small box section and rounded back
COLOUR- deep green with red shield emblazoned on the wedge, depicting a gold lion with a crown
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 70cm X 40cm
SPEED- 14mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 0mm at sides and rear thanks to skirts (arranged in a Biohazard fashion, corner-to-corner), 10mm without
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
WHEELS- inside robot, 4-wheel drive
POWER- 2 X S28-400 MagMotors
WEAPONS- The main weapon, as ever, is the hydraulic diamond-tipped crushing claw. It is powered by a Vivoil pump with an 80mm x 40mm ram, with a 2kg tank for storing the hydraulics. The claw runs at 3000psi and, aided by the diamond tip, should be able to leave plenty of holes in another robot.
The front wedge also features a Firestorm-style blade and two flat 'spears' to aid in getting under the opposition. The wedge itself is now home to several Mute-style barbs to help ensnare other robots.
SRIMECH- A rear-hinged pneumatic arm on either side, powered by a pair of linear actuators. The rounded rear also prevents the robot getting beached.
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, thanks to AJ, et tu, Brute? written on the underbelly
STRENGTHS- Quite nippy, good traction, powerful weapon, difficult to get underneath, fairly quick srimech
WEAKNESSES- so-so manoeuvrability
PIC- http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/1801 ... numor1.png
6. Traffic Warden
SHAPE- rigid U shape, 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- good traction, tough shell, fairly manoueverable, nippy, powerful grip
WEAKNESSES- untested weapon, exposed ground clearance
PIC- http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/1130 ... nalto6.png
7. Venus Fly Trap II (formerly Venus Fly Trap) (NEW!)
SHAPE- box with wedges on all sides
COLOUR- green with ugly great mouth on top
WEIGHT- about 100kg, I hope.
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 95cm X 20cm
SPEED- 12mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm, though the wedges and spatulas should provide some extra protection
ARMOUR- 3.75mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- 4 x inner wheels
POWER- 2 x C40-500 MagMotors. These will run at 36v and produce approximately 12hp.
WEAPONS- On either side of Venus Fly Trap II is what appear a rear-hinged flipper with a large spatula, covered in barbs. These are the 'jaws' and are powered by an 80mm x 120mm pneumatic ram each, running at 250psi. The idea is that an opponent is scooped up on top of the robot or gets stuck on one of the spatulas, the 'jaws' fire simultaneously and ensnare it like a real venus fly trap.
SRIMECH- A rear-hinged arm on top. Powered by a separate S28-400 MagMotor geared 250:1 for quick and easy self-righting.
NOTES- flies Scotland flag
STRENGTHS- Unique weaponry, powerful, well-protected, nimble
WEAKNESSES- Completely untested
PIC- http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/7102 ... trapii.png
Hope that'll do, Sam. Can't wait for the draw. :proud:
