    Power: 1x 180mAH 7.4V LiPoly Pack
    Armour: 2mm Aluminium Nitride coated Titanium. 3mm HDPE Chassis Stainless steel bar to defend against spinners, and prevent high-siding.
    Weaponry: Invertible wedge.
    Speed: 52 cm/s
    Turning Circle: 0 cm
    Ground Clearance: 0-1mm gradient
    Srimech: Invertible
    Colour: See image

    Power: 24v 5.0Ah NiMH Battlepack
    Armour: 3mm TiCN coated stainless steel
    Weaponry: 3x 4lb S7 Tool Steel claw hammers & Melty Brain technology, allowing the machine to spin at 485 RPM (30mph). Accelerometer calculates the rate of rotation, and lights up an LED on each of the YCM-coloured sides to signify "forwards". It is also used to slow each motor in turn momentarily to create a linear movement of the machine while spinning.
    Speed: 9mph (translational)
    Turning Circle: N/A
    Ground Clearance: 1.0 cm
    Srimech: Invertible
    Colour: See image

    Height: 10.8 cm
    Motivation: 2x custom-designed solid rubber wheels with HDPE hubs and titanium caps.
    Drive: 2x AmpFlow E30-150 Motors and 4:1 gearings.
    Power: 1x 24V 5.0ah NiMH Battlepack.
    Armour: 4mm Hardox, 6mm HDPE Chassis. Aerospace-grade aluminium tail arms.
    Weaponry: 4kg aluminium drum spinning at 1600RPM, driven by a DeWalt 18V New Style Drill Motor overvolted to 24V. Tungsten-edged stainless steel tail blade.
    Speed: 17 mph
    Turning Circle: 0 cm
    Ground Clearance: 2.0 cm
    Srimech: Invertible
    Colour: See image. Colour-coded frontal support arms: Yellow = Queen, Red = Worker, Black = Drone.

    Robot Name: MiDAS
    Shape: See image
    Weight: 99.8 kg (Heavyweight)
    Length: 103.7 cm
    Width: 88.1 cm
    Height: 29.9 cm
    Motivation: 6 solid polyurethane wheels with custom-machined 2024 Aluminium hubs
    Drive: 4x DeWalt 36V Hammerdrill motors running through 2x 30:1 gearboxes, giving a total output of just under 4 horsepower.
    Power: 3x 36V 3.0Ah NiCad Battlepacks
    Armour: 5mm aerospace-grade Aluminium chassis, 3mm scrap Titanium wheelguards mounted on rubber bushings and hinged skirts. 5mm Titanium rear plow.
    Weaponry: Dual lifting arms that operate together, powered by linear actuators. Electric axe driven through a clutch system that allows it to strike twice a second.
    Speed: 16 mph
    Turning Circle: 0 m
    Ground Clearance: 2.9 cm
    Srimech: Lifting arms
    Colour: See image

    Robot Name: Cryoseism
    Shape: See image
    Weight: 99.9 kg (Heavyweight)
    Length: 94.7 cm
    Width: 94.7 cm
    Height: 26.3 cm
    Motivation: 4x solid rubber & HDPE wheels
    Drive: 2x NPC-1200 Motors
    Power: 2x 24v 3.0Ah NiMH Battlepacks
    Armour: Stainless Steel chassis & outer shell with polycarbonate panels to save weight.
    Weaponry: Spinning shell with S7 Steel teeth, driven by a pair of AmpFlow A28-400 Motors.
    Speed: 11 mph
    Turning Circle: 0 cm
    Ground Clearance: 0.8 cm
    Srimech: Small flag, designed to quickly flip the machine right-side-up with no sudden jolting or unnecessary skittering about on the shell.
    Colour: See image

    Robot Name: Kraze
    Shape: See image
    Weight: 100.0 kg (Heavyweight)
    Length: 75.9 cm
    Width: 91.1 cm
    Height: 32.6 cm
    Motivation: Two internal HDPE wheels with vulcanised rubber, mounted slightly towards the front, and a small ball caster at the front and rear to prevent tilting.
    Drive: 2x Trimmed NPC-B82 motors
    Power: 2x 24V 3.0Ah NiMH Battlepacks
    Armour: 5mm Titanium flipper & skirts, 5mm Kevlar on the sides and horns, 3mm Aluminium chassis & underside.
    Weaponry: 1000PSI 4-bar flipper, powered by compressed air. A small suction fan on the underside of the machine both forces the skirts into the ground due to the pressure difference, and supplements the flipper tanks via an air compressor, giving a theoretically infinite number of flips. A pressure valve, similar to a steam cooker, allows any excess air to be vented through the tips of the horns.
    Speed: 14mph
    Turning Circle: 0cm
    Ground Clearance: 4.5cm (0mm with skirts)
    Srimech: Flipping arm
    Colour: See image. Side name lights up in one of 25 colours with a strobe and "Spectrum" feature.

    Height: 38.6 cm
    Motivation: 2x custom-designed hemispherical wheel hubs & solid rubber tyres
    Drive: 2x AmpFlow A28-400 Motors
    Armour: 4mm Aluminium Nitride coated Titanium
    Weaponry: Reversible solid steel drum with S7 Beaters, driven by a Lynch LEM-130. Freely rotating two-sided rear wedge.
    Speed: 16 mph
    Turning Circle: 0 cm
    Ground Clearance: 1.9 cm
