The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Well, shucks. Who would have thought I'd get this far? Ladies and gentlemen, it's the 5TH series of The Crash & Burn Tournament! :proud:
Sign-ups have been opened on me Mum's birthday, because I felt like it. Happy birthday Mum. 8)
And without further ado, let's cut the sweet stuff and get right to the point. Rule time!
DA RULEZ
1. Entries
I need 16 people to enter:
- 4 heavyweights (100kg)
- 1 antweight (max. 150g), featherweight (max. 13.6kg), lightweight (max. 27kg), middleweight (max. 54kg), and superheavyweight (max. 155kg) each
Realies are definitely allowed, but I really would prefer vapourbots here. This includes the otherweights. I'm sure I can get a lot of custom otherweights here. :)
2. Weight bonuses
I still firmly believe weight bonuses are legit despite the obvious naysayers. :P So here you go:
- Normal weights for wheeled robots
- 10% bonus for bots with treads (El Diablo Grande, Panzer), tracks (101, Trax) or shuffling pads (Son of Whyachi, Drillzilla)
- 50% bonus for bots with true walking mechanisms (Mechadon, Pressure Drop)
This bonuses apply to all weight classes. Other methods of motivation will be subject to a weight discrepancy.
3. Robot rules
- No flying or hovercraft robots :P
- Clusterbots are allowed, but they must be, at most, 4 bots weighing up to 100kg together. The weight bonuses apply for clusterbots too, but only if ALL the bots in the cluster have the same type of motivation, otherwise it's void. Also, all the clusters in the whole robot must be eliminated for the whole robot to be out.
- You can only have a maximum of 3 active weapons going at the same time.
- Interchangeable robots are also allowed, but you may only use 5 attachments for the entire tournament (if you have more than 5 attachments, you'll have to choose which ones to be left out)
- Maximum PSI allowed for nitrogen pneumatics is 2400PSI. (CO2 is automatically 900PSI since that is the max it can go to) Maximum PSI for hydraulic systems is 5000PSI.
4. Arenas
http://teamzlayerz.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=arenas
The arenas can be found in the above link. Since their renders are not completed at the time of posting, here is a description of each arena, below:
a) The Battlegrounds - The 3rd version of my main arena, and a sizeable one: 20m x 15m! It is quite similar to the Robot Wars arena. To start off...there are four corners, obviously! :proud: Two of them contain CPZs, each occupied by your resident snarling house robot, and the adjacent corners have heavy, but hollow, Hardox mallets to strike whatever's below! Pulverizer, anyone? ;) The Discs of Death, which are powerful horizontal discs akin to the Robot Wars grinders on the arena side walls, return, one on each side. The arena kill saws return as well, one in the dead center of the arena and two some same distance away...as do the pneumatic arena spikes, which can pop you into the air AND do some nasty underarmour damage! The pit, floor flipper, flame pit, and pit release button all return as ever.
b) Casino Night Zone - Sonic 2-themed arena! It's the same size as the Battlegrounds. In each corner there are pneumatic paddles that fling your bot across the arena as if it were a pinball! Bumpers are here too; however, they act as stationary full-body spinners. While not as powerful as the Battlegrounds' Discs of Death, you'll still take damage. Also, there's a panel in the middle of the arena floor; run over it, and slots will start (displayed above the arena walls). Get three Dr. Robotnik heads, and the only instance of a house robot appearing will happen, and can chase you at will. Thing is, it'll chase ANY robot in there! Get three of anything else...erm...nothing happens. And that's it. Nothing else; no pit, no OOTAs, no other hazards or house robots, no judges decisions! Fight to the death! Or at least, until you run out of coins. :proud:
c) Land of Confusion - Inspired by Disturbed's cover of Genesis' single. This is a 25m x 20m arena, with screw hazards similar to the Battlebox screws (except made of Ti/V!) lining the walls...except for an area on one of the sides; this is a massive beater made of Hardox which will fling robots away with ease! Conveyors also lie on the arena floor; depending on how they're feeling, they'll send you into the screws, to the middle of the arena, or onto the thrusters near each corner of the arena, based on the Battlebox's hell raisers! In the middle is another Battlebots-inspired speciality, the floor spinner! Ride onto this and it'll send you into a world of dizziness! There's hardly any safe place in this particular arena, so beware...or use that to your advantage! And one more thing: no house robots. They themselves are shaking in their booties because of this crazy arena! :proud:
d) Lumina Cloth - Named after the fighting arena in .hack//G.U! It is a circular arena with a 10m diameter and no walls. However, a wall of pneumatic spikes surround the edge of the arena when raised; they can pop up, lower, and so on and so forth; they can make you lose, or help you win. And, of course, if you fall off the arena, it's all over for you! Team Zlayerz' take on both Robotica's fighting arena, and RW's Sumo Basho. And of course, house robots won't dare enter this arena.
e) DeGroot Keep - Named after the Team Fortress 2 level, and to be honest folks, this was a last-minute thought! Argh mates, it's a very big arena, 40m x 30m, and it's a double arena, yah! Competitors start out before the Great Keep. Two buttons, one on either side of the Keep, open the gate which is big enough for a superheavyweight to get through, but only for 60 seconds! They can then drive up a ramp to the upper arena. 2 house robots patrol the upper part of the Keep, which are like the battlements. There are no real hazards, but OOTAs are possible before the Keep. This arena is pure fun but keep the battle in mind...or they're gonna have to bury what's left of you in a SOUP CAN! :proud:
f) Antweight arena - Where the tiny terrors fight. It is unchanged from the last tournament, except for one little thing; a set of tiny killsaws in the middle, which send you AWAY from the drop-off area! Want to use it to escape a pitting! You'll have to decide whether that's worth taking damage! :proud:
You can find the stats of the 8 (9 if you count The Watcher :proud: ) current house robots here:
http://teamzlayerz.proboards.com/index. ... arkzlayerz
5. Judges decision
Fights in all the arenas except Casino Night Zone last for 5 minutes (even Lumina Cloth), then it goes to a judges' decision. The judges decision is as follows:
Strategy - /5
Style - /10
Control - /15
Aggression - /20
Damage - /25
Say for instance, Nightmare and Hypno-Disc fought and went to a JD (highly unlikely that'd be though :P )...an example would be:
Nightmare - Hypno-Disc
Strategy = 2/5 - 3/5
Style = 4/10 - 6/10
Control = 9/15 - 6/15
Aggression = 6/20 - 14/20
Damage = 18/25 - 7/15
TOTAL = 39/75 - 36/75
and so Nightmare would win the decision based on that.
6. Stat sheet
This is a basic stat sheet, one that I nearly always use:
Name: (obvious)
Shape: (please, PLEASE give a basic shape. If you can't explain it properly, give me a picture. Even a Paint pic will do)
Colour: (if your bot has a pic, this isn't needed too much :proud: )
Weight: (explained somewhere above)
Armour: (what material covers your robot; this can range from polycarbonate, aluminium, titanium, Hardox, kevlar, etc.)
Drive: (your motors: LEM130, Bosch 750w, A28-400 are good examples)
Power: (power source, pretty much batteries: Lithium-Ion, Nickel-Cadmium[NiCad], Nickel-Metal-Hydride[NiMH], Sealed Lead Acid [SLA] are the main batteries. Also state the voltage. You don't need to state the batteries if need be (like, beginners, hehe) :) )
Motivation: (what moves your robot's weight around the arena: wheels, tracks, shuffling pads, etc.)
Top Speed: (your maximum drive speed)
Ground Clearance: (the space between the bottom of the tip of the robot, and the arena floor. If it's 0, it can't move. Skirts can be used but you must state what material they're made of (not in this section!) and what the ground clearance is behind them)
Turning Circle: (not really needed; if it has a turning circle, please state it here)
Dimensions: (length x width x height; it can't be too small or else your drive/weapon power/etc. won't fit; conversely, if it's too big your armour may be overweight, or really weak :proud: )
Weaponry: (what weapons do your robots use to fight with? what are they powered by, or are they static? what material are they made of? if you have a pneumatic weapon (flipper, some spikes, or some crushers), state the pressure (PSI) it fires at. If you have a spinner, try to state the kJ output, weight, and diameter of it)
Srimech: (does it run invertibly, or does it have a mechanism that rights the vapourbot?)
7. BIIBI
Otherwise known as Build It and I'll Believe It. It's Frank Goacher's highly effective system used in his NSBFL series of tournaments to check for overweight or impossible vapourbots and it should be honoured here. If a vapourbot on here seems overweight, or it's blatantly not possible (and I WILL be checking), I'll update the sign-up thread with robots that are BIIBI, label them with that, and explain the problems. Once the vapourboteer has fixed the problems stated, the BIIBI label will be removed. It will also be removed if you explain logically how you design can work. Remember, I'm not perfect either. :lame: I'll be asking for help with this, so...
8. No stupid vapourbots.
Or ones that are meant to be a joke. Because this isn't a joke tourney, k? If there's massive demand for stupid vapourbots, I'll re-open ATTTWI or something. :lame:
9. Fighting
NO VAPOURBOTEER FIGHTING. I don't know how many times this has occurred. If you have a beef with somebody, keep it off this thread. Remember, it's the robots that are supposed to be killing each other, not us. :lame:
10. Issues
If I make a mistake during a battle, or with the line-ups, please kindly point it out to me so that I may rectify it. :) Like I said, I'm not perfect and often screw up. However, if you're an arse with your statement, consider it ignored.
11. ARC entries
Joey is probably going to hate me for this :P but I am allowing sign-ups for this on another board so I can get my full 16 entrants.
http://z10.invisionfree.com/Drowning_Ci ... /index.php
These people (you may know a few on there; like me! :proud: ) run different styles of tournaments there, but most are in the dark about FRA style stats. They're far from dummies, though, and I'd like some people to help me make them some stats so they can understand and compete here. I know Martijn Benschop offered to help, but some more help might be appreciated. :)
12. The format
Pretty much identical to C&B4, except the otherweights now have 4 sets of fights, with one robot going through each one. Then it's 1v1 until we have our winners.
For those who can't go that far back/are too lazy to browse :P this is for convenience purposes:
Heavyweights
- 16 heats of 4 robots, 1v1 til we get a heat winner. Otherweight fights happen between the second fight and the Heat Final
- Semi-Final fights are 1v1 until we have 2 robots remaining in each semi-final
- Grand Final is, again, 1v1 til we get a winner. 3rd place play-off will happen
Otherweights
4 1v1v1v1 matches with 1 robot going through each
then 1v1 til we get a winner
13. Seedings

Well, I think that takes care of that for now. This won't start for a while though. And if possible (Leo, Mark Lumb, Kane, or any other moderator), I'd like to be able to edit this thread later down the road, if that's okay. :)
Now everybody get in and feel the burn. :twisted:

Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Quote:
- 100% bonus for bots with true walking mechanisms (Mechadon, Pressure Drop)
200 kg is ridiculous Kody, and if you keep this I'm entering all walkers.
Otherwise tournament looks great!
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Is this the first time it's been brought to your attention, Nick? Because I've always had the 100% walker bonus rule in place, since C&B1, and it's never been abused. Same thing with all other methods of motivation...
Nonetheless, I went through other tournaments and found my weight bonuses different to theirs...so...
Do any others agree with Nick? (you can MSN me about it too, if you're a lazy git that is :P ) If so, I'll change the bonuses.
(note: this is exactly why I wished to have control of the first post :lame: )
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
I haven't entered tournaments here since 2006 so I wouldn't know after that. Before 2006 though the walker rules were thoroughly abused, which is why many other tournaments either got rid of the walker bonus or made it lower.
A 200 kg bot will always beat a 100 kg bot if they're built equally well, even if it is a walker. Imagine if Son of Whyachi were allowed 50 kg more mass. It's ridiculous.
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Okay, I'll propose this. If nobody has any objections (because I don't, not any reasonable counter anyway, I've never been a good debater you see :/) to Nick's argument, I'll change the weight bonus rules regarding shufflers and walkers to 110kg and 150kg respectively.
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
In my opinion shufflers are, basically, off centred wheels in some form or another and so should get at most the tracks bonus. I don't really make rulesets any more but I am finding myself questioning any bonus other than for true walkers :uhoh:
Anyway, my entries are as follows:
Antweight
Jigsaw V (realie, but surely you know what this is XD)
Featherweight
Redemption
Lightweight
Falling Down (hopefully getting fair fights this time :))
Middleweight
Heroin
Heavyweights
Gabriel V
N³
Eye of Ran II
Broken Wings (stats to come)
Superheavyweight
Drive
Hopefully those will all be okay :) looking forward to this, especially with the new arenas (even if the hazards are massively over the top, hehe)
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Eye of Ran looks dope. That will be a tough one for anything I currently have.
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Alright. Just a heads up. The weight bonuses for shufflers is now 10%, and the walker bonuses are 50%, from here on in.
Current entrants
Team Picus (Joey McConnell)
- Jigsaw V [AW]
- Redemption [FW]
- Falling Down [LW]
- Heroin [MW]
- Gabriel V [HW]
- N³ [HW]
- Eye of Ran II [HW]
- Broken Wings [HW]
- Drive [SHW]
I'll make a proper chart once I have more people officially in with their bots. :)
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Alright, I think I understand this stat system. I'll put some stuff together.
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
I say sire, may I please have the honour and privelage of a reserved place, much obliged
(What the hell was that!? XD)
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Hey Badnik! And Lian, consider your space reserved. :)
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Reserve me a spot, I have ideas already :D
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
So I have two seeds eh? I haven't got around to doing my proposed updates though so you'll have to settle with robots as they are.
Achilles
Black Panther
Slammer
Darkestar
I've lost all my otherwight stats though unfortunatly, so unless you have them saved somewhere, would you mind just entering a lucky dip of realies as I don't really have the time to work out a brand new set of robots at the moment...
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
I have the stats of Sith, Tiny Tengu, Blizzard MW (who won MW), and Red Knight saved, Alex.
As for your antweight realie, would Razzler be okay, since you entered it last tournament?
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Yeah, that'd be fine thanks.

Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Okay guys, Mark Elam wanted to join again. We've had our differences in the past but I'm allowing him access again. Since he is still currently banned from here, I'm allowing him to sign-up here instead:
http://z10.invisionfree.com/Drowning_Ci ... st=0&#last
So, he now has a reserved space. Also, Zarte Siempre wishes to enter. Realies have been doled out for him due to previous otherweight stats not being found.
Other reservations will be found below. Josh and GF93 are from ARC and reserved spots there. If I'm incorrect, let me know post-haste and I'll correct the issue.

So that's how things are panning out thus far. Need three more entries people. :)

Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
If theres a space left il'l happily enter something, reserve for me SVP?
Entry's soon :kiss:
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
No probs. And Lewis (since he can't post on FRA at the mo') has also reserved a spot. So...1 spot left!
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
*looks around suspiciously, reserves spot*
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Well, I guess that's all spots taken then, yes?
I will hold reserved spots until further notice. People who have currently reserved spots, but without any entries are:
Andrew Jackson
Tracy Farber
Martijn Benschop
Steven McGregor
Lewis Matthews
Jordan Brown
Jack Orr
Josh Noel
Badnik96
GF93
Mark Elam
In other words, there's a LOT of people who need to get their bots in! Come on, peeps!
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
I can confirm that I will enter Under Pressure and Sheer Heart Attack, be it in their current forms or new incarnations.
Working on 2 new bots, but in a pinch when a deadline draws near I can call on Plan B and enter 4 of my excisting bots.
I don't expect to get 'round designing a whole otherweight fleet and will probably enter realies in most otherweight spots.
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
That's fine Marti. :)
I will be checking for BIIBI bots soon.
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Other three bots ARE on the way. Don't worry.

Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Perhaps you should. :twisted:

Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
*is worried about what sort of antweight Nick might come up with :uhoh:*
A few addenda to my entries:
> Broken Wings' stats are up in Alex's Oddbots thread, and may be found by means of this link. Although it 'walks', it's not a proper walker and more of a shuffler; however it weighs 100kg and is made of fibreglass so this should probably not be an issue.
> For people who are unaware of what Jigsaw is, I have derived some stats for it:
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...y/IMGP0857.jpg
Name: Jigsaw V mk. III
Weight: ~150g (it depends whose scales are being used, which battery pack is in it, and possibly on the phases of the moon)
Dimensions: 145mm x 100mm x 40mm
Drive: 2 x 50:1 Pololu 'HP' gearmotors run at 7.4v from a 2 cell 135mah lithium polymer battery pack, driving two 32mm wheels with quite grippy rubber tyres.
Speed: Very fast, but top speed of about 1m/s hardly ever used as I tend to drive it in a far more controlled manner
Ground clearance: 0 at the front due to both the wedge, and then a strip of acetate (not pictured) which runs along the ground at the front of the wedge for maximum lowness - up to 10mm elsewhere
Chassis: Folded 1mm polycarbonate
Armour: 0.9mm grade 2 titanium, with the top windows being protected and strengthened with 0.3mm carbon fibre sheet
Weapon: Forward hinged flipper driven from a Hitec HS82MG servo, run at full battery voltage, which can lift up to 500g
Srimech: The flipper (for the purposes of fanfic, this works every time - in real life I need to fiddle with the transmitter settings more...)
Notes: Antweight World Series 33 champion (somehow!) and has placed quite highly in every AWS since. No sides...

Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Nearly done on my new walking system. This will solve the problem with the Manta system where I needed two sets of motors to run the thing.
Got it all on one set of motors now, and it can still reverse! I'll animate this thing, and then use it on my other 2 heavyweights.

Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Guys, prepare yourselves for a bit of a rant.
Okay I'm really sorry. I thought I had more motivation than this, but I've been less interested in vapourbots than ever before, even the last few years. Most of this has been due to college, but the other part is that...well...I know a couple of people will shoot me down for this, but who else has really been interested? So the interest seems to come and go every few months? Really? When was the last time there was a good part of activity on here? Last year? Add to the fact that I can't bring myself to get renders of the arenas like I told myself to, or lack of interest to write anything at all..., not just bot fights. Well, that's a recipe for disaster, innit? Also, there's no other tournaments that are active, save of all things RoboBash, and Samuel only posts there like every month or two, and gets like one or two replies...
Here's the harsh deal: I'm taking a major break the forum until the middle of 2014, and the start of C&B5 is being put on major hold, at least until I'm done my schooling. Yes, that is nearly a two year wait, but I already know I'm not going to be able to actively put up fights. If there is the same level of interest or less when I return, I'm cancelling the tournament. Feel free to leave now, if you wish. Who knows, though? Things may change. There may be tons of activity on FRA when I return. But colour me skeptical...
So...yeah. My feelings. Feel free to debate with me, but it will have to be today.
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Alright, please (largely) ignore the above post. I was jumpy that entire day due to college starting the next day and pretty angry as well, expecting a bit much from you. I shouldn't have taken it out on you all like that, so I apologize.
That said, while I've found that I have a bit more time on my hands than I thought, it's definitely not enough to run a major tournament like this, so the delay is still on. I'll be here from time to time, though, so don't worry. :) I'll still enter tournaments like nobody's business. :)
Plus, I have to finish up that mini-tournament, and THAT I probably will have time for, so... :P
Yeah.
:oops:
-
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Right. I said there would be an unlikely chance of this going forward. I'm going to try and prove myself wrong here. There are a lot of wiped spots here since sign-ups were last updated. If you would like to reclaim your spot, however, give me a shout. :)

Mr. AS, GF93, and Mark Elam have lost their spots but can still get them back easily. Tracy, Steve, Andy, and Martijn still have reserved spots since I know them quite well and they would enter in the blink of an eye (and Martijn has two HWs up anyway :P).
SO! That's right! I'm not quite giving up on C&B5 yet! 3 more spots are available! Get those entries and stats in! :)

Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 5
Hey there, I would like to enter. :proud:
Revenge of Theseus (Previously Theseus)
Weight: 100kg
Body Shape: Box-wedge ala Atomic with slightly sloped sides and rounded back, and a Firestorm style wedge extension on front.
Colour: Emerald
Dimensions: 94 X 74 X 32
Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v, powered by several NiCad batteries, shock-mounted
Wheels: 4 X Small Aluminium Wheels with Asmaprene urethane rubber, great for grip across arena floor
Armour: 3.5mm Hardox, how can you go wrong?
Turning Circle: Zilch
Max Speed: 19 mph
Ground Clearence: Front wedge is 0mm and scrapes the floor due to wedge extension, 6mm anywhere else
Weapon: Mainly relies on pushing power, but there is a rear hinged flipper on the front powered by 2 X 2kg CO2 tanks, able to toss a 100kg robot clear out of the arena and flip up to 900kg. It can be used for about 36 flips which is probably more than enough to last through a single battle. There is also a Firestorm style wedge extension at the front as well.
Srimech: Flipper; side cones prevent it from getting stuck on its side.
Strengths: Powerful weapon, great speed and pushing power
Weaknesses: Limited CO2
Theme Song: Welcome to the Masquerade - Thousand Foot Krutch
Imhotep (Previously Paralyzation)
Weight: 100kg
Body Shape: Box with tapering end, and hinged skirts on the sides
Colour: Sandy Yellow, weapon is jet black and teeth are blood red
Dimensions: 95 X 74 X 23
Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v powered by several NiCad's, shock-mounted as always.
Wheels: 4 X Aluminium Wheels with Asmaprene urethane rubber
Armour: 5mm Ti/V Alloy everywhere, skirts and hinges are made of 3.25mm Hardox
Turning Circle: *Sigh* Zero.
Max Speed: 15 mph
Ground Clearence: 0mm on the sides due to skirts, 5.74mm everywhere else, including without skirts
Weapon: 20kg titanium drum on the front with 12 tungsten-tipped teeth on it and powered by a LEM-130. Spinning at 5000RPM, this drum can cause a lot of damage. Components are shock-mounted as well to keep it protected against attacks.
Srimech: Doesn't need one, 'cause it's invertible. There are cones on the sides to prevent it from being beached.
Strengths: Can cause a lot of damage, decent pusher, invertible.
Weaknesses: It's invertible... yup, you guessed it. Exposed wheels.
Theme Song: Burn it to the Ground - Nickelback
Mad Dash 2.0 (Previously Mad Dash)
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Box with tapering end
Colour: Chartreuse
Dimensions: 95 X 75 X 25
Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v, powered by several NiCad batteries, shock-mounted
Wheels: 4 X Aluminium Wheels with urethane rubber
Armour: 4mm Hardox monocoque
Turning Circle: Zero. SERIOUSLY.
Max Speed: 22 mph
Ground Clearence: 5.5mm everywhere and 0mm underneath the forks
Weapon: Mainly relies on pushing power, but has lifting forks which are powered by 2 X LEM-130's and it can lift up to about 250 kg. The ends of the forks are extremely sharp and pointy and diamond-coated. Therefore, the forks can be used as a ramming/stabbing weapon as well. The weapon can also work either way up.
Srimech: Invertible, side cones prevent it from getting beached.
Strengths: Crazy pusher, versatile weapon
Weaknesses: Invertible... yup, exposed wheels.
Theme Song: Out of My Way - Seether
BugaBOOM (Previously Shredding Madness)
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Hexagon-wedge with Firestorm-style wedge extension at front and a rounded rear
Color: A mixture of emerald green, royal blue and silver, with Hypno-disc style pattern on weapon
Dimensions: 95 X 74 X 36
Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v powered by several BPK BattlePacks, heavily shock-proofed
Wheels: 4 X small aluminium wheels, with Asmaprene urethane rubber
Armour: 5mm Ti/V Alloy everywhere
Turning Circle: ZERO. No kidding.
Max Speed: 15 mph
Ground Clearence: Front is dead 0mm and scrapes the floor due to wedge extension, and 6mm anywhere else
Weapon: On the wedge, there is a 22kg Warhead-style bowl made of titanium with 3 X 1kg tungsten-tipped blades on it. This is a part of the weapon itself so it cannot be ripped off. This weapon can also cause a heck of a lot of damage. This bowl weapon is powered by 2 X LEM-130's, spins at 2500RPM and it gets up to this speed in around 1.5 seconds, but it's able to cause damage even at half that speed. This machine can also get under robots quite easily due to the wedge extension on the front. All components are heavily shock proofed to protect itself from opponent's attacks.
Srimech: There is a Wild Thing-style linear actuated arm near the rear of the machine that can self-right the machine in about 1 second. This arm is not a weapon of any kind, it's just able to self-right or stabilize the machine. Side cones also prevent the machine from getting stuck on its side.
Strengths: Extremely lethal weapon, quick srimech, good pusher as well should the weapon fail.
Weaknesses: None hopefully.
Theme Song: Basket Case - Green Day
Antweight: Anty B
Featherweight: DTK
Lightweight: Ground Zero
Middleweight: Hazard
Super Heavyweight: Ziggy
