The NSTT: Other-weights

Iâ‚¬â„¢m planning to hit on with the heavyweights over the next few weeks, but in the gap between the end of the heats and the start of the semi finals, I will run the other weight classesâ‚¬â„¢ qualifiers and in the gap between round 5 and 6, the other weight classesâ‚¬â„¢ semi-finals, and between round 6 and 7, the other weight classesâ‚¬â„¢ finals.

There will be 5 weight classes running, but the minimum number of entries needed for each class to run is 6.

The weight classes

Raptor-weight (6kg)[12 kg]
Featherweight (12 kg) [24kg]
Lightweight (25 kg) [50 kg]
Middleweight (50 kg) [100 kg]
Classic Heavyweight (80 kg) [160 kg]

The wheeled weight is in the round brackets, and walker weight in the square brackets. No bonus for screws/tracks.

Standard UK stats please, the more the better.

Extra Stuff

You didnâ‚¬â„¢t have to be in the main heavyweights to enter into the other-weights. You donâ‚¬â„¢t have to enter every weight class.

Entries deadline
There is in theory unlimited entries allowed for each weight class, and so Iâ‚¬â„¢m having a date deadline instead of the normal entries deadline. The entries have to be in by Saturday 23rd July at 11:59 BST. So even if you have reservations, no stats = no entry.

Get Cracking

MW:
Hell Fire

Weight: 50kg
Dimensions: 120x110x40cm
Shape: low slung wedge
Weapons: Powerful pneumatic flipping arm that has a plate that runs the width of the front, that can throw 75kg 3 feet or so no problem, and can, flip 100kg, but not too high, and a rear Pussycat style Saw, that spins at 4000rpm, and has carbon tipped teeth to cope with titanium.
Top Speed: 25mph
Transmission: a pair of Mag C40â‚¬â„¢s on 24v NiMHâ‚¬â„¢s running through a really simple transmission, but a reliable one due to features to keep the chain on.
Amour: 4mm Ali and steel alloy and 2 mm of stainless steel on top
Strengths: Very manoeuvrable and fast, generally very easy to control
Weakness: Exposed outer wheels
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front, 5cm at the back, varying from 0 to 4.5 at the sides (wedge goes up)
Turning Circle: 0cm (its turning is very nimble)
Notes: Hell Fire is extremely manoeuvrable because it has 2 sets of wheels on the same axle, meaning that itâ‚¬â„¢s incredibly stable, and can turn on a penny, and can still run even with outer wheels ripped off

LW:
Name: Hell Hound
Weight: 25kg
Dimensions (LxWxH): 60x50x30cm
Shape: scooped front, rectangular body, rounded back
Weapons: 2 conjoined Pincer type crushing jaws with a small hydraulic ram powering each, producing a 1 and 1/2 tonne crushing force
Colour: mainly black, but with Rotweiler features all over the body
Speed: 15MPH
Transmission: a pair of Bosch 400â‚¬â„¢s on 24v running through a simple 6:1 ratio gearbox
Armour:1mm stainless steel and 1mm Ali/steel alloy (tough enough for LWs)
Srimech: cable pulled legs from out the side (like a dog cocking his leg to do his business) and a cable pulled tail to self right when its on its head
GC: 0 at the scoop, 2mm the rest of the way
Turning circle: 0cm
Strengths: Power of weapon
Weakness: slow self righter (still effective mind)

FW:
Name: Hells Angel
Weight: 12kg
Dimensions: 59 x 45 x 15 cm
Shape: Scoop front, rectangle body, wedged rear end
Weapons: a car radiator fan motor powered axe, drilled for lightness, but with still a heavy axe head, with a wallop power of about 500kg
Transmission: Ali protected Challenger drill motors attached directly to the compound rubber wheels, which are studded with screws pointing out (like those on Chaos 2)
Speed: 12 MPH
GC: 2mm all around, 0 at the scoop end
Srimech: The axe, the weight of which pulls it over so it cannot rest on its side. Make SURE you remember that.
Armour: 2.5mm mild steel on the sides, 2mm checker plate aluminium elsewhere
Strengths: The axe
Weakness: the armour may not stand up to strong FW spinners, but should prove good enough

RW:
Hell Boy
Weight: 6kg
Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 10cm
Power: 2 x 9v Ni-cad packs supplying 2 of the Zeobot drill motors and wheels with 18v
Weapons: a pair of temprature treated steel spikes on the top corners of the front wedge and a rear 10cm diameter circular saw run by another zeobot drill motor. The saw runs at 4000rpm.
Shape: Storm 2-like
GC: 1.5mm all over
Armour: 2mm steel all over
Strengths: Powerful drive and weapon
Weakness: thinnish armour

All my HWs are 100Kg, so Ill have to think up a new design

Save me a spot.
All I know now is that I want Conundrum [Stats at http://www.stupoo2000.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/featherweights/database_conundrum.htmhttp://www.stupoo2000.pwp.blueyonder...undrum.htm]And I need some time to research some other realies, as I dont have any raptors/classics HWs as of now and If Im entering a tourny with one realie in a diffrent class, I feel I might as well enter that tourtament with all realies instead of having it diffrently balanced. [I bet you all NOBODY undersstood a word that just came out of my mouth
