I owe some apologies here - to Alex for being late, to Jordan for inadvertedly copying his armour idea, and to everyone for the quality of these stats XD I did do most of them at 3am last night in a surge of creativity, so they may be subject to revision when reality sets in.
Anyway, je te presente:
Broken Wings
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 100 x 80 x 24 cm
Shape: There is a render coming up, but for now: A box possessing wedges on all sides, with the front wedge being shallower than the rear wedge, which is in turn shallower than the side wedges.
Colour: White - the armour and chassis are coated in a calcium silicate based substance for fireproofing - with some black trim.
Drive: Two Yamaha 550cc motorbike starter motors, run from a 17ah 12v Odyssey SLA battery giving about 1kw each. The motors each drive eight 2014 aluminium legs (for 16 in total) in an arrangement similar to the antweight Type 0 (which is more or less the bottom half of the Anarchy/Scuttle system with the tops of the legs held semi-captive - this is a bit more resistant to damage than Anarchy and more compact) through a 2.5:1 gear ratio. This gives the drive system very good speed (~12mph maximum) for a walker, and the high torque from the two starter motors should give it enough pushing power to be competitive - in theory. The legs have urethane rubber 'feet' over spiked ends so that if the rubber is torn away, the legs can still grip (if anything, even better) and the entire base panel is also coated in flame retardant rubber making it difficult to push the robot around.
Speed: 12mph
Turning circle: Zero
Ground clearance: 0 at the front, maintained by a pair of 3mm titanium hinged forks, with the sides and back varying from near 0 close to the front to between 5-15mm at the back due to the walking gait; however this is under 5mm FR4 fibreglass skirts.
Chassis: 2014 aluminium in tube, plate, box section and various angles in a space frame, cross braced as much as is practical within the weight to provide support for the legs and make the robot much less reliant on its armour for protection (aided by there being quite a bit of space between the outer armour and any vital components)
Armour: 5mm FR4 fibreglass/Garolite, reinforced at the front and top with 10mm birch plywood beneath.
Weapons: The main weapon is a 65cm pneumatic axe, constructed of 2014 aluminium with a P20 tool steel spike tipped with a diamond crystal, run on CO2 from a modified Sodastream bottle and 2 litre buffer tank at 20 bar to a 50mm bore 200mm stroke ram on a Shunt-esque linkage, giving 400kg force at the ram. The combination of fairly low pressure and fairly cautious use of the axe (me being paranoid and keeping some gas back for self righting) should ensure that the gas supply is adequate for a fight.
Srimech: The axe - the robot can't land on any side other than its back or base.
Notes: Pretty much everything inside, where practical, has rubber mounts and other devices to protect it from a) shocks induced by large rotating objects and b) vibrations from its own walking mechanism.
Strengths: Speedy for a walker with good maneuvrability, stable, good weaponry, and Richard Page
Weaknesses: The armour - although the strength of the chassis should minimise this being an issue - and anything involving pegasi
Rough weight breakdown:
Chassis: 40kg
Drive and all associated electronics and mechanics: 30kg
Armour: 15kg
Weapons: 15kg
Hopefully this is okay Alex ^^
