And old score to settle now!

The Disc 2 vs Slammer 3

3
2
1
ACTIVATE!
Both machines start their plans to attack, The Disc gets a nice manouver to start things off with a hit at Slammer 3s side. The Disc then gets a back push at Slammer 3, and Slammer 3 though uses a nice tactic as it uses one of its flippers to flip straight off of The Disc 2 and then though takes an attack from The Disc 2s wheel. :sad: The Disc 2 gets to the side of the ways and hits them, doing some dammage to them, Slammer 3 is then hit from the side again, and it it sends Slammer 3 flying! Slammer 3 then breaks part of the jaw, making it useless now. :sad: The Disc backs up into the pit release button, and it then it goes at Slammer 3s other wheel, and it hits it. Slammer 3 isnt moving now with both wheels on the ground dammaged. So Refbot ends up counting out Slammer 3, meanwhile Grolwer comes in and grabs onto Slammer 3 with the jaws, pushes Slammer 3 to the pit, and dumps it down. And just like the Series Semis and 3rd Place Playoff. The Disc 2 is victorious over Slammer 3.
CEASE!

Third time slammed by the same machine, thats the fate that Slammer 3 will have to settle for.
THE DISC 2 WINS THIS GRUDGE MATCH!!!!!

Sorry I havent been doing many battles ATM, Ill try to get one done tomorrow.

[matt_macdonald]

Actually, I need Wedgie 3ds stats before I can start the grudge fight.

Ill now accept entries for the world championship, 16 robots to enter, 2 entries of 2 for each person who enters, Ill accept no more than 2 robots representing 1 country. Robots can be vapourbots (stats must be posted) or real robots, or 1 each. Get entering!

Here are Wedge 3s stats for the Grudge Fight

1. Wedge 3 (50th Team Braveheart creation! ) (thanks a lot to Aaron Knight for suggesting armour, power and weapon power) (HW)
SHAPE- low box with front wedge (very similar to Mute)
COLOUR- light grey
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 90cm X 75cm X 28cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 10mm at the sides and rear
ARMOUR- 8mm Grade 5 titanium
WHEELS- inside robot, 4 X Volcalone rubber wheels
POWER- 2 X Lynch 130s
WEAPONS- The main weapon on the latest Wedge machine is (as always) a flipper. This time around, rather than the usual Chaos 2-style flipper, Wedge 3 is armed with a broad flipping arm with Chaos 2 front plate attached (bent at the end ala Bigger Brother to aid in slipping under other bots). The arm remains top-hinged (ala Tsunami, Chaos 2 etc) and is powered by an 80mm ram running at 500psi- this gives Wedge 3 a flip-up force of 500kg, just a few kgs short of SpinVerter...maybe even more, according to Aaron
SRIMECH- flipper, rounded back, 1 grey semi-sphere on either side of robot to prevent getting stuck on its side
NOTES- flashing red light on top of robot, flies Scotland flag
STRENGTHS- powerful flipper, tough armour, fast, manoeuvrable, compact, good traction
WEAKNESSES- could be a bit tricky to control, lack of skirts

Now I need Wedgie 3ds stats to start the final grudge fight

Resrve 2 for South Africa and England

[martyn]

Ok for the other Scotland spot

Name: Disco 5 (thanks to Aaron who helped me gets my idea into the way it is) (was disco 4)
Shape: Low Wedge
Motivation: 2 x 200mm Go-Kart tyres that are foam filled.
Speed: 12.5 Mph
Weight: 100kg
Height: 300mm to top of body, 600mm to the top of the disc
Length: 1300mm
Width: 600mm
Weapon: 500mm Vert. flywheel @ 3000rpm. Has a 4.00 second spin up time due to the C40-500 Magmotor on 36v with a 2:1 twin tension cog belt reduction. The flywheel produces 31.5Kj€™s at maximum RPM but is lethal at around 1 second. The second weapon is also the srimech, this weapon is a low pressure pneumatic flipper running on 10Bar (145psi) running into a single 80mm bore ram. This produces 509kg at the ram and is then transferred into the flipper with a leverage point ratio of 1:1. This is a forward facing flipper like FireStorm and will have no problem toppling the heaviest of robots.
Chassis: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium monocoque with extra 5mm Titanium ribs to give it more rigidity.
Drive: 2 x S28-400 Magmotors @ 36v with a 10:1 Mod 2 spur gear reduction connected to two Kart Tyres.
Batteries: 90 x 3000mAh NiCD cells producing 36v @ 9amp
Color- the robot and skirts and flipper are blue and the disc is yellow
Clearance- it has 0mm at the front due to the wedge it has 0mm at the sides due to skirts its 6mm with out it also has a rear 0mm skirt and has 6mm with out it.
Notes- The flywheel is at the back off the robot it goes over the back of the wedge so if I can get a robot up the wedge far enough it will be hit by the disc. The skirts stop the robot landing on its side.

and
for the USA
NAME- The deer (was crusher chaos)
SHAPE- Invertible box
COLOR- the robot and claws are a dark green color
WEIGHT- 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 1m x 80cm x 25cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- It has 6mm at the front due to the claws and has 0mm at the sides and rear without skirts 6mm. The skirts also work both ways up.
ARMOUR- 7mm lexan
MOVEMENT- 4 inner wheels that make the robot invertible
POWER- 2 x S28 Magmotors on 24v.
WEAPONS- it has a front pair of horizontal hydraulic crushing claws set up like deers antlers like you fine in extreme destruction. The claws have 3.5 tones of crushing force on the front tips of the claws at the middle is 6tones and right at the back it has 8 tones of crush.
NOTES- invertible, wide base means I wont topple while the deer is crushing
STRENGTHS- Very powerful weapon
WEAKNESSES- it could be turned into venison

2 entries for Wales:

Name: Wheely Pure Evil (Thanks to Aaron for flipper rams and armour)
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 3mm Aluminium Boron Carbite (slightly heavier than Aluminium, but harder than Tungsten)
Speed: 18mph
Shape: Low invertible wedge
Weapon 1: Top hinged flipper powered by a 120mm pneumatic ram, working at 145psi fixed on top of the robot. At the bottom of the flipper there is a 5mm Grade 5 Titanium wedge extender, designed to get under any ground clearance.
Weapon 2: Top hinged flipper powered by a 120mm pneumatic ram, working at 145psi fixed on the bottom of the robot. At the bottom of the flipper there is a 5mm Grade 5 Titanium wedge extender, designed to get under any ground clearance.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry and tough amrour.
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels on top and limited CO2 on board.
Ground Clearance: 1cm at the back, 0mm on sides due to side skirts and 0mm at front due to flipping plate.
Srimech: Invertible.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 S28-400 MagMotors running at 24v, which give 18mph top speed. The flippers are made from 4mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, and powered by 120mm pneumatic rams working at 145psi. Each flipper can flip roughly 1150kg each. However, due to the flipper set up, the robot can flip roughly 2300kg! The robot has hinged side skirts, to stop robot getting underneath. The skirts are made from 3mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, and are hinged so they run upside down.

Name: Bigger Bully
Weight: 150kg with heaviest weapon system on.
Armour: 5mm Hardox and detachable side, front and rear skirts made from 4mm Grade 5 Titanium.
Speed: ~ 20mph
Shape: Box with skirts.
Weapon 1: Interchangable weapon systems (See Notes)
Strengths: Strong armour and good pushing power.
Weaknesses: Hard to control at full speed, and cannot self right with spinning bar.
Ground Clearance: 0mm with all weapon systems.
Srimech: The robot is invertible or can self right using the axe or flipper, but cannot run upside down with the spinning bar.
Notes: This is the 2nd incarnation of Bully, my best shuffler to date. This version has kept the 5mm Hardox armour, which did itself proud, but the weapon system has changed a lot. Due to the varying number of vapourbots entering the competition, Bigger Bully now has interchangable weaponry, designed to kill a certain type of robot. The robot itself is powered by 2 LEM130 Lynch motors running at 36v, which give 18HP. This is designed to push other bots out of the way and into the arena walls or pit. There are 4 weapon systems, all designed to defeat a certain type of robot. These weapons are:
The top hinged flipping arm is the main weapon of Bigger Bully. It is powered by 2 50mm Dia High Pressure Rams fed off 4kg of liquid C02. It is capable of flipping 250kg, and also self rights the robot if flipped. The flipping arm is hinged at the back of the robot, and has a bungee cord attached to it, designde to snap the flipper back straight away, increasing momentum and thrust. All skirts are added to the robot, apart from the front skirt, which is added to the flipping arm, designed to get under and act as an Atomic 2 style flipping plate. The flipper has roughly 15-20 flips in it per fight. The flipper is used against flywheeled robots, FBSs, ramming robots, robots that have a high ground clearance, high pressured flipping robots and robots that lack srimechs (not invertible robots).
The robot also has an axe weapon it can choose from. The axe is Dominator 2 style, and is powered by a C40-400 MagMotor running at 36v. Due to the way the axe self rights the robot, only the front skirt is used for this system, aiding in manouverability. The axe can come down with roughly 4KJ of force, and can dent any armour up to 6mm Titanium. The axe weapon is used against robots with weak top armour and robots that do not have damaging weaponry, such as Velocirippa or Mighty Mouse. It is also used against invertible robots with inner wheels and robots that rely on a rollcage or rollover deisgn to self right.
We also have the choice of a pair of horizontal crushing jaws, powered by hydraulics. The robot can operate upside down with this weapon system. The jaws are mounted horizontally at the front of the robot, and are powered at 2700psi with a flow rate of roughly 4.5 litres per minute. They can roughly crush 5 tonnes at the tip. No skirts are used for this weapon system, due to the invertability of the design. The jaws are made from 5mm Ti/V alloy, with diamond coated tips, designed to get through anything. When the jaws are embedded in another robot, Bigger Bully will push them into the pit, or into a house robot. The jaws are used against robots with low traction and robots with no skirts. It is also used against clusterbots and invertible robots with outer wheels.
The final and most deadly weapon is a 10kg horizontal spinning bar made from Ti/V alloy. It is mounted on top of the robot, meaning that if it is flipped, it cannot run upside down. However, all the skirts are added, which give 0mm ground clearance all over. The spinning bar is powered by a C40-400 MagMotor running at 36v, and is geared down 6:1, meaning that the bar spins at roughly 5000RPM. The spinning bar hits with a lot of force, and can damage most armour. This weapon system is used against axed robots, robots with no flippers or lifting devices, also against poorly armoured robots and axelbots (both without a flipper) and crushing robots.
I would like to finalise my weapon choice before every fight, if I may.

Representing Scotland...

NAME- Wedge 3 (50th Team Braveheart creation! ) (thanks a lot to Aaron Knight for suggesting armour, power and weapon power) (HW)

COLOUR- light grey
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 90cm X 75cm X 28cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 10mm at the sides and rear
ARMOUR- 8mm Grade 5 titanium
WHEELS- inside robot, 4 X Volcalone rubber wheels
POWER- 2 X Lynch 130s
WEAPONS- The main weapon on the latest Wedge machine is (as always) a flipper. This time around, rather than the usual Chaos 2-style flipper, Wedge 3 is armed with a broad flipping arm with Chaos 2 front plate attached (bent at the end ala Bigger Brother to aid in slipping under other bots). The arm remains top-hinged (ala Tsunami, Chaos 2 etc) and is powered by an 80mm ram running at 500psi- this gives Wedge 3 a flip-up force of 500kg, just a few kgs short of SpinVerter...maybe even more, according to Aaron
SRIMECH- flipper, rounded back, 1 grey semi-sphere on either side of robot to prevent getting stuck on its side
NOTES- flashing red light on top of robot, flies Scotland flag
STRENGTHS- powerful flipper, tough armour, fast, manoeuvrable, compact, good traction
WEAKNESSES- could be a bit tricky to control, lack of skirts

Representing France...

NAME- Killotine : EVO (formerly Killotine) (thanks to Tom Roper and Aaron Knight for helping with the machine) (HW)
SHAPE- compact box shape with a front Storm 2-style wedge
COLOUR- red
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 70cm X 35cm
SPEED- about 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 10mm at sides and back without skirts, 0mm at sides and back with skirts
ARMOUR- 15mm polycarbonate top and bottom, 3.25mm Hardox armour at sides, front and back
WHEELS- inside robot, 4WD
POWER- 2 X LEM-130s
WEAPONS- The main weapon is the large 180 degree pneumatic axe, very similar to that of Killerhurtz, which operates ala a rack-and-pinion system like Terrorhurtz. Running on 160psi, it really packs more than a punch and can very easily self-right the machine. Also, if anything should happen to the axe, then the robot can use the low Storm 2-style wedge and great pushing power to resort to a Tornado-style tactic - ram to death!
SRIMECH- The axe. Even if it€™s already been fired while flipped, the axe can right itself ala Killerhurtz, aided by a rounded back. 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 landing on its side.
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, the new version of my 2nd ever Vapourbot, Killotine
STRENGTHS- Fast, dangerous weapon, good amount of traction, difficult to get under, quick srimech, nice and fast
WEAKNESSES- so-so turning
