gravity 4 isnt built yet

[pcbore]

Name: The Crashing Bore

Shape: Box at the back with a low wedge at the front. The wedge is at a smaller angle than before, giving it a slightly longer €œnose€, plus it now has a CM long extension on the front which goes flat along the ground, allowing it to get under anything, skirted or otherwise.

Speed: 12 MPH

Weight: ~97 KGs

Dimensions: 140 X 70 X 40 CM (LWH)

Ground clearance: 0 at front, 0 at sides with side and rear skirts, 1 CM without, all round. The sides of the skirts are shaped to leave absolutely no gap, except when the robot is turning.

Weapon 1: A mousetrap style blade, only instead of a flat piece of metal, it€™s jagged like ^^^^^^^, meaning instead of one big blade, it comes down as lots of little points meaning it can do more damage thanks to the area/damage ratio rule. It comes down with enough force to badly dent 8 MM Ti, but because of the new points it could probably cut it. A huge difference though€¦ Now it€™s Etek powered instead of running on gas. The blade is retracted by use of a different winding mechanism, so retraction is slower to prevent self harm.

Weapon 2: An inch thick diamond tipped industrial drill. Extends to 6 inches outside the robot, and comes out of a hole in the wedge. It can cut through more or less anything, but is mainly used for drilling through trapped opponents.

Weapon 3: Two 20 CM spikes at the rear, which rest along the floor. The main function is to stop the force of the trap making the robot jump around, but they can also be used as a rear wedge thanks to the shape.

Armour: 3 mm aircraft grade Aluminium, on top of 5 mm hard compound rubber on top of 6 mm grade 5 Ti.

Srimech: The trap.

Power: Six nicads in series power the motors to 36 volts, another four power the Etek at 48 volts, while a seventh runs the miscellaneous stuff like the gyro.

Wheels: Four indoor go-kart wheels. Provide excellent traction on indoor surfaces. These are stuffed rather than pumped, so a puncture wont slow it down too much.

Motors: 4 S28-400 magmotors at 36 volts, with the inclusion of a redundant drive chain. If I lose one motor, the drive chain from the other motor will keep that wheel turning.

Extras: There is not only a chassis supporting the armour, but some extra frame-work around the wheels. If the armour crumpled inwards, it will come to a rest against this and will therefore not jam the wheels up. Of course repeated hits will still cause more damage, but as much as possible is limited. It now also features Tempest style shock proofing.

Strengths: Psychotic weaponry, design evolved to eliminate as many weaknesses as possible. Therefore, it€™s extremely difficult to knock out.

Weaknesses: High ground clearance under the skirts, not as manoeuvrable as unskirted 2 wheeled robots..

Random fact: This is the oldest vapourbot on the circuit.

Real robot: Firestorm.

Thanks everyone, your entrants have been noted, but I require for some of the vaopurs (you know who you are, and also, fancy filling up the last 6 places in the Royal Rumble (the 30 robot one)?

Matt, need stats for Ankle Biter

Ankle Biter

Shape: low wedge
Colour: Black with purple highlights around the edges
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: 100 x 73 x 35cm
Speed: 18mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground clearance: 2mm at rear
Armour: 5mm alumiumium alloy
Wheels: 4 wheeled, inner
Power: A Bosch 750 watt motor running at 36 volts
Weapons: The main weapon is the rear mounted 10kg alloy vertical spinning disc that is powered by a Lem 130 running at 48 volts which gets up to speed in 2.5 seconds and spins at 2000rpm and has a power of 9800kN of power at the teeth (Hypno-Disc is about 6800kN ). In theory it can throw a 100kg robot 9 metres into the air if it got caught on the disc It also has a front mounted top hinged low pressure flipping arm with attached side-arms, (110 psi) co2, on a 1.1 kg bottle, that can flip 135kg.
SRIMECH: Flipper will self-right it Mute style, though not as crazily
NOTES: Has 2 red Wild Thing style flashing eyes in the wedge
STRENGTHS: Vicious spinning disc and powerful flipper
WEAKNESSES: Traction

Whats Tanto 2 like ?

[pcbore]

Its basically a two wheeled Etek driven shovathon which Dave S is currently in love with. I think theres a web page about it. Check the competitors section.

By the way, did you get my e-mail?
