Note: Battle Raptor 3 will also be 6kg heavier with extra batteries, making it 106kg.

Inserted Lem 130s. Indisctructable is ready & I probably pointed this out, its armour is same grade titanium as Big Nipper & can withstand axes. Heres some revised stats:

Indisctructable
Description: A copy of the early Storm 2
Weight: 98kg
Power: 2 F1 car batteries driving 2 LEM 130 motors through a 6WD transmission and some customised specialist speed controllers giving 18hp and speeds of 20mph.
Dimensions: 1.1m long x 0.8m wide x 0.3m high
Weapons: None!! It is built like a tank & is designed not to be damaged as it has the same grade titanium armour as Big Nipper. Armour can withstand (so far) axes.
Strengths: Fast, maneuverable, adjustable ground clearance from 0mm to 10mm, good control and strong titanium armour
Weaknesses: NONE!!

My other entry will be Steel Survivor. Pic on my profile, stats below & also on profile. Seeing as the weight limit for this is 120kg, Ill get some Trax-style guards to protect the tracks, Ill rebuild it back to 100kg after this

Steel Survivor
Weight: 120kg
Power: 2 750watt motors
Dimensions: 1.1m long x 0.99m wide x 0.6m high
Weapons: 1000psi pneumatic flipper
Strengths: Strong armour, maneuverable and good weapon
Weaknesses: Tracks are exposed and a new weakness, a high ground clearance of 11cm at rear (Yes, you read that right)

*sigh* Once agin, you claim strong armour without telling us what said armour IS.

Thats it, Rev II will have to enter, Ive got to show half the newbies how to build a robot with proper parts! Its noob busting time!

Name: Revolutionary II
Motivation: Wheels
Speed: 8MPH (Translational speed)
Weight: 109.9kg
Height: 170mm
Length: 1000mm
Width: 1000mm
Weapon: The weapon is just the same as Revolutionary, but this time, it has the legendary and nearly outlawed Gas Turbine implemented. To fit the 19kg 65HP 20000rpm Gas Turbine into the weight limit, the design went through a large weight loss design switching from Aluminium Boron Carbide which is light and strong to a heavier Hardox 400 which is stronger, and used less over the whole robot. 3 large portions have been removed and are air gaps to save weight. The total weight of the drive in the last version of Revolutionary was close to 45kg (32kg in motors, plus the rest in gears and wheels) The new version has a 42kg drive set up with over 20kg into the titanium mod 3 gears for the twin stage planetary gearbox which is then into a single stage bevel gear box. This is then transmitted to the drive wheels via magnetic clutches/brake which control the speed of the robots wheels to enable it to translate around the arena like the previous version. The whole robot revolves around at 2000rpm and produces easily over 120 kilojoules. Spin up time is limited to 2 seconds as the magnetic clutches are eased on to save the gearing from over torque as the turbine opens up to full power start up.
Armour/Chassis: 5mm & 10mm Hardox 400 ware-plating
Notes: Will easily attract the Anti-Turbine enthusiasts, invertible, first ever petrol powered translational spinner! Extra 10kg is in the fuel canisters. It should easily run for 20mins since its carring around over 400L of compressed oxy-acetylene fuel ITs got a bit more armour around the canisters too(not like anything would go through 10mm Hardox)

Lets kick bot!

Guy with the unpronouncable name, what exactly is an atomic battery?

[knightrous]

Something futuristic, like Lead Argon batteries (Fame from Short Circuit 2 Moive) which cannot be used in robot combat because of free flowing liquids

Steel Survivors armour is steel with a 1mm layer of titanium.

Sorry Aaron. The weapon is now powered by 2 Eteks running at 48v. It is now geared down 2:1 so it spins at 3400RPM.
