[knightrous]

Name: Infusion
Motivation: Wheels/Tracks/Shuffles
Speed: 16/14/10MPH
Weight: 100kg
Height: 180mm
Length: 800mm
Width: 800mm
Weapon: Infusion has the following weapon set ups:

Spinner Mode:

This weapon is built into the robot at all times. The weapon is a FBS ring spinner that is two stage. The outside shell is a light 10kg Rim while the inside one is a heavier 15kg rim. The inner rim is spinning all the time, storing energy before the battle begins, being powered by a 17HP 24000RPM Stihl Chainsaw motor (Astro 40 motor used for starter on it). The inner rim spins up to 3500RPM before the battle, this is allowed as it is a storage device and not an actual weapon. The inner rim is then turned into a large electromagnet and sticks the 10kg outer flywheel onto it and spins it up in under 1-2sec. This gives the weapon a speedy spin up time, gives it the ability to be turned on and off all the time with out having to spin the weapon up from zero, gradually generating the energy needed. This makes it impossible to stall as the outer shell can just be turned off when needed. KE is around 180KJ€™s. Enough to tear panels off opponent and give them a rough time.

Flipper/Lifter Mode:

A flipper is powered directly from the inner 15kg rim. This is then geared 120:1 flipper or 380:1 lifter which changes the gearing via radio gear. The flipper/lifter is powered via a cam that is mounted under the flipper and drives the flipper up using the kinetic energy from the inner rim. There is enough energy to throw around 400-500kg. The flipper is a dual fork style flipper made from 4mm Hardox and is braced. This is designed to slide under the lowest of robots and flip them. It€™s also been engineered specifically to flip The Disc and any other robots in it€™s profile. Between the forks is enough room for the flywheel to slide in with out hitting the body and then flip. I€™m sure Frankie will have some words on this (Sorry for the lack of details on the mechanism here, but I€™m rushing this as it is)

Other Modes: Not enough time to create them. But they are a Crusher and Beta Style Hammer. They are not to be used for this series as they are not fair for others if I make them up half way through.

Drive: Infusion does not have a single set drive. Infusion has a modular drive train that can be changed from 6 Volcalon wheels powered by two LEM130€™s, to Tracks powered by LEM130€™s to Shuffle Plates powered by€¦€¦LEM130€™s. The drive is simple unbolted out and is bolted in to suit the opponents. This will also allow different combination with different weapons as if using a motivation type that will allow a slightly heavier weight limit.
Batteries: 36v @ 9AMP
Armour: 4mm Hardox/5mm Hardox and T7075 Aluminium (Inner armour)
Notes: A fully interchangeable robot, including weapon and drive.

Advantages: Weaponry, interchangeable, unique.

Disadvantages: Not the fastest in the arena.


RIPCAGE will be up tommorow and my tactics are up next.

[knightrous]

HEAT A
The Disc 4 (1) vs Biohazard vs Infusion vs Panic 3 GTI 2

Martyn and I are teaming up here. Im going after The Disc 4. Hopefully causing some damage and taking out the Champion very early in the series. TD4 cant damage me, so Ill just have to damage him.

HEAT C
Warhead (21) vs 2Blue vs Iron Awe 3 vs Not Another Pushover 2

Get the dome roaring and do some of those w00tie gyro force dances. maybe even attack some opponents too

HEAT H
Razer (31) vs Dantomkia vs Mortis vs Tough As Nails

Big Trouble here, I have to get behind TAN and take out the ram or Put a hole in DTK and put it in the pit. Mortis will be the one to attack last.

HEAT I
Push-Ish (16) vs Dallas vs Nightmare vs The Ultimate Wedge

Push-ish sounds like a rammer, So we might be able to team up. Im going for Nightmare as soon as the buzzer goes, get in there, under the disc, stall it and flip! game over.

HEAT K
Annoying Box Rush (12) vs Firestorm V vs Mr Nasty vs Rip Cage

Ill spin up the flywheel on RIPCAGE and attack FireStorm. Will probably get some Annoying Box Rushes from Nick, so Ill just keep dodging his attacks.

HEAT L
Black Chalkie Beard (26) vs Gyrate vs Insecticide vs Sonic Boom

First Battle for Gyrate. Lets hope it makes a very big IMPACT Aiming to spin up here, get that 1.4MJ happening and attack who ever has the weakest armour. then move onto whatevers left.

HEAT M
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 ( vs Dieceratops Invertus vs Infernal Contraption vs Tsunami 2

TEAR THEM ALL TO PIECES!!!! ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK! Destroy them all till nothing is left moving. *Insert Megalo Maniac smilie here*

HEAT O
Killotine Evo (4) vs Mother Of All Bricks 2 vs Terrorhurtz vs Wrecktangle

Im the Brick with a lotta push! Im going to try to stack them all in the pit. Maybe Stevo and I can team up in this.

I think this is the first time ever that I have posted a full set of tactics for every robots battle!

[andrewj]

Here are my tactics for each of my battles, some I think Ive got a chance some I dont...

Psyclone (17) vs Pulveriser vs Squish vs Voltronic

Nice first battle for Psyclone here, if Dan wants to team up maybe he can grab €˜em and I can attack. I€™ll be going for PulverizeR€™s wheels first, and then I€™ll go and attack Voltronic.

Son Of Ripper 4.0 (9) vs Back On The Chain Gang vs Juggerbee 3.0 vs Rippoff Yet Again

For the first time I can safely spin my rear disc up and keep it spinning safely for the whole fight! I am going for Rippoff Yet Again first, slide the front flipper blade under and toss it over hopefully stalling the ring. Then I€™m going to have to go for Juggerbee 3.0, being the less powerful pusher. Hopefully my disc will slice through its armour and I can get through to something inside.

Flipping Mad TU (11) vs No Close Shave 2 vs Stinger vs Wedga Revo

First of all, slide under the sides of No Close Shave 2 and toss it over, then push it into a wall where the self-righter will just roll it against the wall, therefore it can€™t get back to its wheels. Then I€™ll open the pit and use the front scoop to try and try to pit Stinger, or slice its wheels with the arena disc.

Razer (31) vs Dantomkia vs Mortis vs Tough As Nails

I€™m going for Mortis first; hopefully I can get a nice slam on the sides and immobilize the tracks. Hopefully Razer wont be maneuverable enough to get round the back and take out the ram, so I€™ll next go for Dantomkia and try to pit it.

Forcepower Turbo (2 vs Disconstructor vs El Persistence vs The Raven

Now this is what I€™ve been looking forwards too. First of all I€™ll take out El Persistence, with only one motor, it will be going round in circles. Next up, Disconstructor, slam the disc into the arena walls to stall it and then dump it down the pit.

Hypertension Mk2 (24) vs Geforce vs Tazbot vs TIRTASM

TIRTASM, eh? Get under the sides, send it into orbit. I€™ll do the same with Tazbot as well. Up for a HDTC team up? :wink:

Typhoon 2 (20) vs Ringmaster vs Well Buy You A New One Tomorrow Mrs Brown vs Ymir

Drive around; smack the lump of Hardox into anything that gets in my way! Spin on the spot super fast, hopefully I€™ll catch a robot and put some nice dents in.

WX 6.0 (2) vs Little Sister vs VGer vs X Terminator

I€™m going to use the Hardox scoop and skirt the sides; this should mean Little Sister will have trouble getting under. Then I can use the scoop to tackle the spinners. I€™m not sure who to go for, but I€™ll have a go at ramming one of them down the pit.


Geforce vs Killotine Evo vs Surgeon General

First, I€™ll go for Surgeon General and make it fly around the arena. Hopefully I can flip it into the arena disc€¦
With Killy, it might be a bit tougher, but my drive should be able to slide under its skirts and then I€™ll send it flying too.

The Disc 4 vs Psyclone vs Wrecktangle

Time for total annihilation, this is for WX5.0! Spin up to maximum speed as soon as possible and go for the champion€™s wheels. I don€™t care how think the material is or what shape they are, I€™m going to attack, damage and shake the internals to death. When my body is spinning, he is going to have huge problems getting a hit in on the dome. Once he is splattered to death, onto Wrecktangle, eat up the titanium and splatter it across the arena too.

WX 6.0 & Forcepower Turbo vs Leprosy Infection & Mega Masher 2

WX6.0 with the scoop and skirts, ForcePower Turbo with its flappy things on the wedge. WX6.0 will be in goal, and ForcePower Turbo will use its extreme power to barge down the pitch with the ball and smash it into the net.

Good Luck Richard! Looks like another fantastic series comming up!

[steven_mcg]

To save some time and space, I wont be posting my tactics until my Heats actually roll around. Expact my predictions later on, though, cause there may be a lot

Looks like the PTT has lost its crown as the Hardest Series to Judge, Richie and I just know this season is going to rule, big time!

[matt_macdonald]

Same with Steve, I shall post my tactics when its time for one of my heats, although try not to rush with them, like starting a heat just after a heat final, it doesnt give people enough reasonable time for tactics.

[matty_haka]

HEAT B
Manic Monsoon (3) vs Cholera vs Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint vs Slammer IV

Oooh, goody Im thinking Cholera first, purely because Im not sure whether I want to tangle with MM. After that, Ill form a pact with MM and kill of Slammer, as they should be cannon fodder compared with MM.

HEAT C
Tempest Evil-er-ution (5) vs Bender vs Hacked Off Ha-ka vs M.O.E

Frank, care to kill the real machines off. I slam the axe in and you take them apart, preferabbly leaving the axe hole :wink:

HEAT D
Windiest Killer Just Got Windier (7) vs Cuffy vs Orka Mk3 vs Pink Panther

I feel like charging after Pink Panther first, hopefully taking them apart with Daves weapon (Yes, were teaming up) possibly using the anti-vertical disc weapon( Yes, I know that seems odd) and keeping on flipping them and allowing Cuffy to disc em.

HEAT E
Son Of Ripper 4.0 (9) vs Back On The Chain Gang vs Juggerbee 3.0 vs Rippoff Yet Again

erm.. ram, drm, damage, flip and basically... win Im not scared of anything, but then I know how good they are as well. Ill stay away from SOR unless I have to, and basically get the oters.

HEAT H
The Crashing Bore (15) vs Constrictor vs In-terror-fied vs Storm 2

Frank, care to get the realies? I take on Constrictor whilst you weather the storm?:P

HEAT L
NSBFR-X (10) vs Forklifts Revenge vs Hassocks Hog 2 vs Roo 2

Spin u and hit anything taht gets in the way. If Im not being bothered, Ill take on HH2 and then Forklift.

HEAT M
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 ( vs Dieceratops Invertus vs Infernal Contraption vs Tsunami 2
Hypertension Mk2 (24) vs Geforce vs Tazbot vs TIRTASM

Grr.... 2 machines:sad:

Tsunami 2 will flip Dieceratops and C, Aaron, care to gang up?

Hypertension will team up with AJ(Gosh, loads of team-uos)rolling TIRTASM and the other thing around
