The Annihilators

Yep its time for a mini tourney, its pretty basic I need 3 robots from 6 people that will go into mayhems to qualify for a place in one of the annihilators if you go out of the mayhem first then you will go into the 18th-13th place annihilator if you go out second then its 12th-7th and if you win the mayhem 6th-1st.

Rules are
Each person enters 3 robots, one of which must be a real robot, one of which must be a vapour the other one is up to you it can be real or vapour.
The weight limits are as follows
100kg for a roller (tracked or wheeled)
125kg for robots that use screws
150kg for shuffle bots
200kg for €˜true€™ walkers (eg anarchy)

Flying robots are not permitted
Robots are allowed to be purely static
Clusterbots are permitted 100% has to be out for the cluster to go out, there is a maximum of 3 parts allowed

Try and include the basic minimum in the stats

For the rest basic robot wars rules apply

So get entering

Robots are allowed to be purely static

Cool. I enter:

Name: Box
Shape: Square
Mobility: None
Armour: Solid hardox
Weight: 100 KGs
Weapon: None
GC: 0 all the way around

SO NOT FUNNY what i mean is that your aloud purely static weapons such as the extreme 2 version of storm 2.

Each person enters 3 robots, one of which must be a real robot

I know, I know :P

[mrdaves]

Hmm...

...pie

Give me Storm 2.
My vapourbot will be Disco 5 (Nowhere in the rules said it had to be your vapourbot )
and Seggy

Hopefully, that should suffice

I will enter X Terminator (S7), MORD2 and Tenderizers Revenge 2.

M.O.R.D2
Weight: 110kg
Shape: Box, with sides that slant outwards from the top and bottom edges to form triangles, like Tornados rear (hopefully this will lower the effectiveness of spinners)
Dimensions: 90 x 32 x 35
Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 0 at front due to plow, 0 at sides and rear due to skirts, which are fixed to the points of the triangles and can work either way up
Armour: Body is 6mm titanium; scoop is 4mm titanium; skirts are 3mm titanium
Movement: Camshafts like Drillzilla
Power: 36V battery and motors
Weapons: At the front is an electrically powered scoop which operates through 180 degrees, so it can work when the robot is inverted. Behind the scoop is a 20kg spinning drum with 8 titanium teeth on it, spinning at 2000rpm and hopefully able to flip robots as well as damage them. The drum comes into play if the scoop is lifted.
Srimech: Invertable; triangles at sides and rear prevent it resting there
Tactics: Shove opponents with the scoop; then lift the scoop and attack with the drum
Strengths: Fast; good traction; powerful drum
Weaknesses: Less manouverable than wheeled robots

TENDERIZERS REVENGE 2
Weight: 97kg
Shape: Low invertable box with low wedge at the front and inverted wedge at the back - painted blue with its name painted to look like blood on the skirts
Dimensions: 90 x 90 x 20
Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 0 all around due to low wedge and skirts, 2mm behind side skirts, 20cm behind skirt on inverted wedge. Both wedges have skirts attached to them at their edge. The wedge and side skirts are attached to rotatable cylinders inside the robot (or wedge) so they can be moved up and down. When they are down, they are very low and its hard to get underneath, but the robots speed is reduced to 9mph. The side skirts can go up to a point where they work inverted. The skirts on the wedges move within 90 degrees - when their wedge is inverted, they are in a vertical position to repel flippers, and when their wedge is right way up, they are in a horizontal position, riding along the ground to help get under robots. When the robot is moving around normally, all skirts except the front wedge one are pulled down low but not to maximum lowness so it can move quickly - the skirts go to maximum lowness if a flipper comes anywhere near it.
Armour: Main body has 5mm polycarbonate on top of 5mm titanium, skirts are 4mm titanium, wedges are 5mm hardox
Wheels: 4, inside robot
Power: 36V battery and motors
Weapon: An electrically powered lifting arm, which runs along half of the top of the robot - its tip is pointed to help hold onto robots, and is at the point where the wedge meets the body, and it does not go down the wedge. It can rotate through 360 degrees so it can be used when the robot is inverted.
Srimech: Invertable - arm will act as srimech, but this will hardly happen as the robot works identically both ways up. Moveable skirts prevent it from resting on its sides.
Tactics: Run into opponents, try to get under them, then get them onto its top and onto the arm. The arm turns them over, or catches them so I can carry them around.
Strengths: Decent pushing power; moveable skirts; difficult to attack by flippers
Weaknesses: May struggle to use arm against some opponents
