Martyn's Robot Wars Series 5

[dinowarrior]

Yeah, but it still can get underneath.

Anyways, here are some more stats.

DIE-CERATOPS RE-INVERTUS
Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape: Wheely Big Cheese
Speed; 15mph
TC; 0
GC; 0mm at front, 3mm at sides and back.
Wheels; 2 inner, sticking out only slightly,
Armour; 8mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
Colour; Green, with Killer Carrot style wrinkles, mouth and eyes. One of the eyes has a plaster over it, the other is a black eye. A few bandages are painted on this time.
Weapons: A huge Wheely Big Cheese style flipper, capable of flipping a tonne or so.
Srimech; As the name suggests, the robot runs inverted. Bars prevent side strandings, and the back is rounded, so stranding THAT way is outta the question. The flipper works upside down.
Inspiration; Ive always liked Dinosaurs. This is a pun of Triceratops. The Invertus part is pretty obvious.
Strengths; The ability to work upside down and still be able to use its weapon, now easier to control.
Weaknessess: Cant find any.


CYCLONE FORCE 2.5
Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape; Storm 2
Speed; 25mph
TC; 0
GC; Side is 0mm due to skirts. Back is 2mm. See set-ups for front GC
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 7mm Titanium.
Power; Similar stuff to what Storm 2 uses.
Colour; A blue-ish grey tone all over.
Weapons; The robot has 5 set-ups, 2 brand new...

SET UP 1...A lifter device, similar to Storm 2. In theory, it can lift 190 kilos. The front makes a wedge and results in a 0mm GC. However, the wedge is useless upside down.
SET-UP 2...A pair of Kan Opener style claws, with about 4 tonnes of pressure at the tip. Front GC for this and Set-up 3 is 1mm.
SET-UP 3...A Disc-O-Inferno style disc, reaching speeds of up to 3000rpm and with similar damage capability to this dangerous bot (I mean, look what it did to Panic Attack).
SET-UP 4...Two 30cm long spikes, which, combined with the speed of the robot, can easily penetrate weaker armours (Id say anything 4mm thick or less, minus Steel, is in a bit of trouble).
SET-UP 5...The most risky approach, A simple bucket scoop, like X-Terminator. The scoop is static, but can get underneath virtually zero ground clearance. Its front is 0mm.

Srimech; The robot runs inverted, the sides are protected by the skirts and back stranding is impossible. Set-ups 2, 3 and 4 work upside down.
Inspiration; The original Cyclone was named because it is the name of a storm and it sounds threatening. The force came later, after it became a pusher.
Strengths;Raw power
Weaknessess;Lack of control, Set-ups 1 and 5 do not work upside-down.

And with Chris first stats up, it means we can actually begin!

HEAT A
ROUND 1
1) Flaming Hell VS Pussycat (17) VS Vampire Killer
Cant get VKs stats due to the FAR Forum being temporarily down, but I think it and Dave W could make light work of the No.17 seed

2) Anarchy VS Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS S.D. IV (1)
This is actually a great draw for me. Not only should the saw be able to slide under either bot but I can shove them all over the ring to my hearts content otherwise! Go for whoevers nearest, slice and Pit.

I have been thinking, isnt it a tad unfair for people to see who they are fighting before posting their stats, and see that their is a weakness of the robot in the melee and fits it before posting the stats. Ie, skirts, better drive etc.

Ingore my random words of non-wisdow if you want, but bear it in mind when allowing people to post stats after draw.

[dinowarrior]

Not really...I dont look at the other persons stats if I havent got mine up, if at all. Even if I know the robot well, I just make normal changes.

After all, I designed Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus with nothing going for either/or competitor.

[dinowarrior]

BTW Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus will consentrate most/all attacks on Anarchy. Unsure whether its axe can right it.

A slight change in its stats...

WEAKNESSESS: Tengu VI

Funny, yes?

I believe Bios skirts are weak at the corners. i also think Vlad has breached them before. I know Vlads beaten Bio in the past, but cant remember if it was pre or post skirt.

[martyn]

in season 1 when bio had the skirts a belive vlad flipped it then

[parassyte]

hello, just ducking in for a quick post.

quote:

in season 1 when bio had the skirts a belive vlad flipped it then

It was before season 1, and Vlad pushed Bio onto the arena saws, which flipped it. Bios skirts prevented it from self-righting.
