Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

[matty_haka]

B2B (Back 2 Basics)

Weight- 100.6kg
Dimensions- L-75cm W-54cm H- 36.5cm
Speed- 8.5mph/ 3.8 m/s. This however still gives excellent acceleration and the speed of the hits will help us do the Tornado thing
Shape- Normal Wedge, with rollbars on the back panel made from welded 1cm titanium.
Locomotion- 2 x 270mm diameter wheels with custom cut treads from an old adapted Go-Kart
Ground Clearance- 0 at front, 0 underneath hinged skirts at sides, 4mm underneath skirts and at back.
Turning Circle-0
Power- 2 x 36V Dustin Motors running off 3 x 24V TMC batteries weighing a total of 9kg for the batteries plus 2.6kg for the motors (Lightweight or what). It gives a total (Presuming efficiency is at maximum) of 4.42BHp. Not the best shover, but with the wedge shaped, the idea will be that before pushing you scoop the wheels off the ground.
Armour- 7mm Titanium/Vanadium Alloy all around weighing a total of 28.4940747kg for the whole body. The titanium bars on the back weigh a total of about 8.4kg.
Chassis- The chassis is made of 1cm aluminium bars, and weighs around 12kg.
Weapon 1- The weapon is a Helium powered flipper, with 2 x 3kg helium rams, capable of firing about 40 times within the course of a fight, and despite running off just 400psi, is easily capable of flipping 250kg. The rams in total, plus gas, and bottles etc. weighs around 16kg and the actual flipper is made out of 4mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy and is around two-thirds the width of the body and goes up the whole wedge. It weighs 5.022kg.
Weapon 2- the bottom of the front wedge is an entirely detachable wedge made of 1cm aluminium. It€™s been designed to be heavy enough to prevent the front wheelying when driving, and therefore means that it should be simple to flip any robots over. It covers about 10cm of the wedge, and is more than capable of resisting attacks. It€™s been designed well and uses the force of gravity and balance to keep it down, whilst only weighing 3.288384kg in total.
Removable Link Position- In a hole with a swinging flap about 10cm into the back panel, but you have to get past the rollbars to get to it.
Srimech- The flipper acts as a self-righter, and will always land on his wheels thanks to the rollbars on the back, once we self-right. The only time this won€™t work is if we can€™t get enough pressure in the ram to fire us over.
Strengths- Powerful, long-lasting weaponry. Manouvreable. Flipper should never fail to slide underneath.
Weaknesses- Not the best pusher in a straight shoving battle.

Last One

Smash-Up At The Bar - (replacing an unfinished Riptile 2 in my line-up)

Weight- 98.8kg (As ever, weight distribution available on request)
Dimensions- H- 35cm, L+W- 65cm
Speed- 9.6mph
Shape- Low Square Cuboid
Ground Clearance- 7mm chassis, dead zero everywhere else
Turning Circle- 0
Armour- 4mm RSP-707 TG top, 6mm Hardox on sides, 5mm polycarbonate base
Locomotion- 4 240mm foam filled wheels
Power- 4 x S28-150 Magmotors, producing 11.72BHp
Removable Link Position- Underneath rear skirt about 10cm back.
Weapon 2- On top of the machine is an 18kg spinning bar powered by a single LEM 130 off 48V. it spins at 2600rpm and produces a nasty 94Kj of energy, which we predict should be able to nicely cut through up to a cm of titanium. There are no 2x2kg hammer ends, angled down over the edge of the box, on the end, which should mean that we can now hit machines, even when they are lower than us. These means there are now no need for the skirts.
Srimech- Another incredible part of the machine. When we are flipped, the bar naturally slows down. When the speed reduces to a speed of around 60rpm, at which point such action will not damage the mechanism, 2 latches will automatically stop the blade from spinning. This will enable us to fire 2 low-pressure arms, each with around 14 fires before the pressure drops. This should be enough per fight
Strengths- Good all-round machine
Weaknesses- Can be beaten by a strong, fast, powerful flipper as well as a couple of single machines that shan€™t be named. Very little will beat this one as it is designed along the same line as Spinverter, in the sense that it€™s the best of everything in a small package.

Chassis- 10kg
Armour- 24kg
Batteries- 9kg
Motors- 6.8kg
Weapons- 28kg
Weapon Power- 12.2kg
Electronics- 7kg
TOTAL- 98.8KG

Gyrate Extreme (SHW)

Motivation: 4 x Omni wheels
Speed: 10MPH
Weight: 155kg
Height: 320mm
Length: 500mm
Width: 1500mm
Weapon: The weapon is the focus on the robots upgrade. The 45kg spinner bar/hoop combo is powered by two Honda CR125 Motorbike motors. The CR125 motor produces 42.3BHP @ 11500rpm, and only weights 14.8kg each. The motors have a pair of electric starts mounted on them. The weapon rotates at a crazy 4500rpm, via a variable belt drive that changes ratios from 10:1 through to the final 2.5:1 ratio. The variable belt drive works by the expansion of one pullie (Motor end) and the contraction of the other (Weapon end) This is done via torque springs mounted on the adjustable pullies and forces them to change size when the load changes. Commonly found on 6WD amphibious ATV€™s.
Drive: 4 x LEM 130€™s on 24v geared 10:1
Batteries:
Armour: Can you say 15mm Poly-Propylene?
Notes: The weapon is devastating. The power is phenomenal. The noise is incredible! The bot is not invertible€¦ Flip and gone€¦€¦ But you have got to get close to it to flip it!

I made a slight mistake in those stats. I forgot to mention the bar/hoop spinning blade is an under cutter weapon. It sits 15mm from the floor and is mounted under the motors on a rather large shaft.

[pcbore]

Sorry its late. Heres my super heavy.

Name: Mr. Boring

Shape: Invertible wedge (a-la Voltarc) with rounded rear, and spheres on side to stop it resting there.

Speed: 18 MPH.

Weapon: Entire front plate is a rear hinged hydraulic lifter which can work either way up, running on 3000 PSI. No idea how much it can lift, but it should be in the tonnage area so I€™m safe on that score

Armour: 4 mm hardox all round. Sides front and rear are solid, but base and top plate have weight reducing holes everywhere but at the bottom area, so no spinner can catch hold of these. The chassis is 5 MM Ti. It has some 5 MM Ti skirts for the sides and rear, although these can be removed for spinners.

Motivation: Sort of six wheel drive, although it only runs on four at a time. The rear has two sets of two wheels, one above the other. These are powered by two Eteks on 48 volts. The wheels are indoor go-kart wheels. Nice and sturdy with plenty of grip.

Ground clearance: 1.5 CM€™s at sides, 2 CMs at rear, 0 MM at front.

Srimech: Invertible. Lifter can be used to free it from walls.

Strengths: Shouldn€™t go wrong because there€™s not much to go wrong.

Weaknesses: Pretty basic. Could struggle with more advanced machines.

So I couldnt think up anything more imaginative. So sue me

[steven_mcg]

OK, chaps. Some of you already know the score. Im away to France tomorrow for me holidays and wont be back til the 22nd. Either then or the day after, the fifth PTT will finally commence. You unlucky people.

Until then, I have for you some stuff that may interest you :wink:

ROUND 1
Agro 3.5 VS Dervish // VS Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS Scottishlier Fictionalier (1)
Gravity VS Napalm VS Storm 2 VS Tempest Evil-er-oution (32)

Tactics and predictions welcome as ever and STATS STILL REQUIRED FROM TOM ROPER (most stats, posty problem), SCOTT ANDERSON (all stats) AND MATTY FOWLER (other weights)!

Cya later.

[dinowarrior]

Oh thank you VERY much mr McGregor, it was VERY nice of you to throw me in round 1 with the champion.

Yes, I am being sarcastic.

I think...Dervish may be the safer robot to attack. Go for Agro if need be.

[martyn]

HEAT A
ROUND 1
Agro 3.5 VS Dervish \// VS Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS Scottishlier Fictionalier (1)
I cant say since no stats from scott

Gravity VS Napalm VS Storm 2 VS Tempest Evil-er-oution (32)
Humm Napalm to be killed by tempest, storm 2 to pit gravity
