No, he doesnt. I just cant enter a tournament any more without knowing how many people are actually entering a team or how many are entering two or three... Anyway, enough from me now. Lets just ignore this and let Matty get on, OK?

-2>Oh, and as normal, Ill pop back in for a rant if my name is mentioned.

AJ smells.


1. Hefty Kick in the Balls!

SHAPE- Reminds of Cerberus in S3 or 4, I think. Tapered rear with front scoops.
COLOUR- Grey, with Scottish flag scoops.
WEIGHT- 100kg
LENGTH- (L) 78 cm without disc, 151cm including skirts and wheel pods, (W) 105cm without, (H) 23cm without disc, 76cm with disc.
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front and skirts, 1cm everywhere else.
ARMOUR- 5mm titanium, 12mm titanium front
WHEELS- 2, interior wheels.
DRIVE- 2 x 36v Mag S28-400s
POWER- 4 x 36v Battlepacks
WEAPON 1- 75cm vertical disc, powered by two LEM130s at 36v, which spins at 2000rpm. Instant spin-up time.
WEAPON 2- Like you€™ll get past the first.
SRIMECH - None, though my driving, the skirts and the will ensure it doesn€™t get flipped. Actually it could possibly do an IG-88 due to the speed of the disc and the short length of the body.
SKIRTS- Side skirts, hinged.
NOTES- Should easily destroy a lot of bots and the scoops can both aid get under a lot of flippers and fend off other robots€™ weapons
SUMMARY- Destructive, indiscreet and designed to give the other bot a hefty kick in the balls!
STRENGTHS- Weapon, stylishness, and scoops
WEAKNESSES- Armour kinda sacrificed for extra weapon power.


2. Insecticide

SHAPE- A rounded main body with exterior sidepods
DIMENSIONS- (LWH) 122cm x 132cm x 21cm
COLOUR- Sleek dark grey
WEIGHT- 99.42kg
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0-1 cm
ARMOUR- 4mm titanium for main shell, 5mm titanium for the sidepods
WHEELS- 2, each in its own pod.
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s at 36v, 4 X 36v 3Ah NiCad packs
WEAPON 1- A 16kg, 66cm diameter horizontal disc, powered by a Briggs and Stratton E-Tek motor at 36v. This spins at approximately 1500rpm due to the 7:11 gear ratio and is 4cm off the ground.
SRIMECH - Invertible, due to a Scottish flag invertibility bar at the rear.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- My personal favourite of my renders
SUMMARY- Destructive disc backed up with decent drive.
STRENGTHS- That disc, agility
WEAKNESSES- It isnt painted red, and you know, red is the fastest colour, so it isnt the fastest robot of that exact same speed.


3. Lunch Box

SHAPE- Sortof sculpted wedge
COLOUR- Grey, with Scottish flag flipper
WEIGHT- ~100 kg
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- Absolute 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0-5mm
ARMOUR- 5mm titanium
WHEELS- 4, inside
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s, driven by a worm gear reduction, then a chain, at 36v
WEAPON 1- Full Pressure front hinged flipper, powered by two big rams and two CO2 tanks. Going for the OOTAs baby, yeah
WEAPON 2- Secondary rear scoop
SRIMECH - But of course :wink:
SKIRTS- None, for manoeuvrability
NOTES- Inspired by Launch Pad, in both name and weapon depts.
SUMMARY- A mobile launching pad, going for OOTAs, front hinged style
STRENGTHS- Strong flipper, backed up by decent drive.
WEAKNESSES- Short fights are probable.


4. Scottishly Fictional
SHAPE- Modified Storm 2 shape, with a concave front.
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 75cm x 72cm x 16cm
COLOUR- Scottish flags all over
WEIGHT- 100 kg
SPEED- 20mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 5mm elsewhere
ARMOUR- 6-12mm titanium
WHEELS- 6, sellotape
POWER- 2 x LEM130s at 36v, 4 x 3Ah Battlepacks
WEAPON 1- Ramming spikes
WEAPON 2- Small 5kg disc in the scoop, in a little indent. This is powered by an S28-150 Magmotor at 24v, since 36v fries it. Interchangeable with a 20mm titanium anti-spinner scoop without an indent for a drum, which also has a rear mace on a chain for some FBS action, baby, yeah!
SRIMECH - Invertible
SKIRTS- No
NOTES- The weapon bay could be interchangeable if I€™m sufficiently bored enough to create new weapons.
SUMMARY- Storm 2 with a proper, reasonably damaging weapon
STRENGTHS- Speed, ramming, active weapon
WEAKNESSES- Lack of skirts could leave sides open to agile flippers.


5. Stratos-Fear
SHAPE- A sort of 4Wheel Drive Wheely Big Cheese.
COLOUR- Stealthy Black and Grey
WEIGHT- 100kg
DIMENSIONS- (L) With Flipper: 155cm, Without: 62cm (W) With flipper: 124cm, Without: 26cm each wheelpod. (H) 26cm
SPEED- 15mph, high acceleration
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- Dead zero at front, rising to about 1-2cm at rear.
ARMOUR- 4-7mm RSP-707 T6, Dave found this, it has the same density as aluminium but is almost as strong as titanium.
WHEELS- 4, 4wd
DRIVE- 2 24v LEM130€™s, geared for good speed and acceleration, powered by 3 x 24v 3Ah NiCad battlepacks.
WEAPON 1- 130cm pneumatic flipper. This thing is powered by THREE 420mm x 80mm full pressure rams, running off three nitrogen tanks, with one extra as a buffer. It has a travel of 115 degrees. This should comfortably launch another heavyweight far into the air, better than WBC due to the increased power and length of the flipper. 3000psi Nitrogen, or 1000psi CO2 powered.
SRIMECH - Axlebot, therefore it€™s invertible and can€™t be flipped.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- Could probably flip about a tonne, and launch a heavyweight far, far into the air. Possibly the first 4 wheeled axle bot? Due to the shock, can probably kill another heavyweight in one or two flips. Overflip is now redundant because the flipper flops over due to the hollow axle connecting the two drive boxes. The flipper rides the ground, and due to the speed and low, low angle can easily breach any skirts.
SUMMARY- Prepare to be launched into the stratos-fear!
STRENGTHS- THAT flipper, acceleration and speed.
WEAKNESSES- Armour is sacrificed a bit for extra power.


6. Glasgow Kiss
SHAPE- Weirdly shaped, see picture.
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 86cm x 87cm x 22cm
COLOUR- Groovy tie dye effect, dude! Like someone€™s been painting the sports centre€¦
WEIGHT- 100kg
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 1cm elsewhere.
ARMOUR- 5mm titanium. I can€™t weight check this, since Rhino doesn€™t like calculating the area of the body
WHEELS- 4, sellotape type
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s powered by 24v of 9Ah Nicads.
WEAPON 1- Double headed axe, powered by two pneumatic cylinders at 1000psi CO2 on a rack an pinion system
WEAPON 2-
SRIMECH - Of course, with the axe.
SKIRTS- None, due to curved sides.
NOTES- Each axe-head is different.
SUMMARY- A spiritual replacement of Axe Murderer.
STRENGTHS- That axe.
WEAKNESSES- Could be flipped by an agile flipper.


7. T.B.
SHAPE- Dome
COLOUR- Black, with either blue or red polycarb windows, depending on the shell.
WEIGHT- 98.49kg
SPEED- 8mph
TURNING CIRCLE- Zilch
GROUND CLEARANCE- Virtually 0, but 10mm inside the shell
ARMOUR- 1cm titanium shell, with 1 cm polycarb windows. There€™s a thin 2mm inner dome underneath the shell.
WHEELS- 2, inside body
POWER- 2 x S28-150 Magmotors, on 24v. These are current limited to protect them, and the bot won€™t be doing much pushing, so they€™re just adequate.
WEAPON 1- FBS shell. This is powered by 2 LEM130€™s on 48v, and the shells weigh 47.6kg. There is a choice of two shells. The shell is on a sortof suspension system, so that it can rest on the ground. There are ball bearings all around the bottom of the shell, so it isn€™t quite 0, but it€™s good enough. There€™s a brush thing underneath the shell to brush away any debris. There is a choice of two interchangeable shells, as said above. The one with red windows is the normal ripping shell, with 6 5kg teeth, at two heights. The second one, with blue windows, is the flipping shell. This one rests at dead zero, and is for against bricks. The impact should flip the other bot instead of ripping holes and stuff in it.
WEAPON 2- A small direction cam, which also selfrights the robot. The idea is, the robot rolls around the oblong shaped aluminium, and selfrights.
SRIMECH - Above
SKIRTS- None needed
SUMMARY- A small twist on the traditional Full Body Spinner
STRENGTHS- Spinner power, versatility
WEAKNESSES- Not the best pusher


8. Warhead. Failing that, The Matador

SPACES FILLED! Im afriad there may be a little pause now. Dads managed to eff the net connection up on the network with his new gimmik, so updates will be posted as and when I get online.

Ill do the draw within the nest few days, have it up, allow you about a week for tactics, and then hopefully get the first heat up around the 3rd week of January. There will be a lot of pauses early on due to acting commitments, but as soon as those are over (2nd week of February) the tournament should progress nicely

[mrdaves]

Matt, I have changed Anti-Spin, new stats are up where the old stats were, which I will now give a link to, so that people can moan at it being sooooooooooooooo overweight, it makes Sir Killalot look like its in weight.

[dinowarrior]

Do you have to have a real robot?

If so, then one of these will be my real robot...in this order. If the top one is taken, Ill have the next one down.

Pussycat
Dantomkia
Behemoth
Gravity
Kat 3
Bigger Brother
Scorpion
Iron Awe 2.1


My other 3 vapourbots will probably be Mega Masher 2, Wreck-Tangle 2 and Axe-O-Lotl. AOLs stats are in the NSTT. Ill find the other stats ASAP.
