Yes, as I think Anarchy system counts as shuffling, anyone using it doesnt get the 50% bonus. Apart from that, everything entered looks OK.

Andy, while youre not as bad as Scott in that regards, you still have a habit of forgetting to enter sometimes. Therere still spaces open, so its no problem though.

[andrewj]

Its usually me waiting to see the rest of the competition entering before I plan my team, but I see what you mean. If all my enteries are OK I guess Im safe anyway.

ok achilles: couple of inches shorter, armour is now 6mm ABC, if i havent already mentioned it on the stats the weight saved from the hook durign the phuematic setup is used for a t-shaped bar for self rightign to save on gas. Wheels are 50% wider but 10% shorter for extra traction.

The robot also sues the same motors as baldur if it doesnt already, i cant remember. Skirts are 4mm hardox. claw is slightly larger. Think thats it.

The stats for Orka MK3 (I decided to stick with MK3 until it loses VFT), DCI and CF2 will be up soon, but Id rather get Crush 2 up now. If any of my robots are going to get a BIIBI, its Crush.

Anyways...

Name-Crush 2
Weight-100 kilos
Shape-Wedge with rounded top.
Speed-9 mph
TC-0
GC-4mm (I know, suicide)
Armour-3mm Hardox
Power-3x 12v batteries
Wheels-2 small inner
Weapons-Giant Crushing Arm, shaped like ROCS, but with the power of Razer, if that gives you a clue. It comes down at about 8 tons PSI. Roughly. The claw is connected to a lifter, able to lift its own weight
Srimech-A single, Mantis like Roll-bar rolls the robot back over. The shape and lifter take over should said bar get bent.
Other notes-Because of the weight, This robot is relativly small compared to some of the others. 600 holes have been drilled in the robots claw, lifter and parts of the body to keep the weight down. The robot doesnt even have a base panel!
Strengths-Armour and Weapon
Weaknessess-Lack of power and speed.

I hope thats OK.

Will resist temptation to say something...

Two problems with Crush, both easily fixed.

1) 3 mm Hardox doesnt exist. The thinnest I believe you can get that stuff is 3.25 MMs.

2) With the 8 tonnes PSI, youre mixing terms. Hydraulics are allowed at a maximum of 3000 PSI, and produce a downforce in the tonnes area depending on what sort of preasure youre using, and what sort of leverage youve got... Thats as much as I understand about hydraulics anyway This isnt a big problem, Ill just put it as 8 tonnes of downforce.

GC-4mm (I know, suicide)

Yes, why not make it higher then?

You have also not stated power sources for drive (motors) and your weapon. And as for the baseplate, can you please tell me how everything is mounted?! (cant stop laughing to himself but doesnt know why)

*Note: This is not a rant, or a moan, or insults it is part of I feel like improving Chris vapourbots today.org*

AJ, leave me alone! Every other stupid tournament Ive entered has just had me having to enter a robot and what it has and THATS IT!

I mean, Diotoir moves perfectly fine with the batteries given (same) thank you very much. It always says 3x 12v batteries. Besides, that info wasnt mentioned in the stats, so it just has power.

And AJ, how come you complain about Crush 2 not having a base panel, but not Kronic 2. After all, IT had no base panel in S6, and ITS components stayed inside it.

Leave me alone, Im having a terrible time here, what with bullies at college, and the death of my Grandfather and everything.

[pcbore]

Ewe 2 in series 7 and Ruff Ruff Dougal in series 5/6 didnt have a base panel either, and you didnt give me the same grief about My Grain which also didnt have a base panel. In cases like those, innards are mounted to the chasis. You can actually see that when Gemini flipped up Dougal.

I also said in the rules you dont have to state what powers your weapon. It helps, but you dont need to state it, and lose any right to complain if I decide it burns out :P
