I know it was a few days back, but I need to comment on this...

*Wonders why the american system is growing and the british system is dying*

Too be honest Dave, I dont think the British System is dying... and if it is, there is only one person here to blame for it all - and that is you. Please get the message, if you prefer the American System, clear off to ARC and stop ruining our fun. If you want to stop here, I suggest working to keep things alive instead of posting that the British system is dying after every post you make.

Oh and by the way, this is the original system, not the British system. All the bugs have been cleared and it has developed so that everyone can enjoy it, worldwide, not just in the UK.

And to Martyn, my enteries still are not done so Ill probably post a variety of new and old bots later on.

stats for steves final robot

NAME- All Scoop and No Stab Make Steve A Dull Boy (formerly Scoop and Stab the Second and a Bit) (thanks to Aaron for partially inspiring the name ) (HW)
SHAPE- reverse wedge with scooped front, sloped sides and slightly boxed back
COLOUR- blue
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 110cm X 75cm X 45cm
SPEED- 14mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at front, 10mm at sides n rear without skirting, virtually 0mm with skirting
ARMOUR- 3.5mm monocoque Hardox all over
WHEELS- inside robot, 4WD
POWER- 2 x C40-500 MagMotors. These will run at 36v and produce approximately 12hp.
WEAPONS- The weapon synergy you know and love is back. The main form of attack this time, however, is the large flipping scoop at the front. This is powered by 2 x 39mm Dia high-pressure rams, giving flipping power equal to that of Mute. OOTAs galore!
This is accompanied by the ol pneumatic axe, forward-facing and mounted on the scoop mechanism ala Behemoth...except it aint pneumatic no more! A bit smaller than previous versions, the hammer is powered by a 36v LEM-130, providing about 2kJ per whack and almost infinite blows. No bad, eh?
SRIMECH- the scoop can easily right the robot (hopefully, the axe can, too). Also, a single spike on either side will hopefully prevent it getting beached
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, scoop and hammer can be activated together or separately
STRENGTHS- Weapon synergy, tough armour, very good traction, nippy, skirted
WEAKNESSES- So-so manouverability?

Message to Martyn and anybody else who is reading.

I been thinking about this for some time now and taken on the advise of several people who I shall not name, I have decided to redraw my entries from Martyn Robot Wars Series 5 for some undisclosed and one main reason, which is that I have finally had enough of designing robots and I€™m quitting the stat-stat style robots because they take too much time to keep with the game which goal-posts have been moved too far towards unrealistic.

The other reasons I am keeping to myself until a later date if I feel the time is right. I finish The Legends and NSTT and wait till all my robots are out of the current vapourbot tourneys before disappearing. I feel this is the best measure in the current situation.

Sorry Martyn, but its best before the draw is made.
