TEAM NAME: Team Braveheart
TOWN REPRESENTING: Glasgow, Scotland
ROBOT: Wedge Devolution
DIMENSIONS: 90cm X 78cm X 40cm (LxWxH)
WEIGHT: round about 100kg
SHAPE: low wedge with sloped rear and Biohazard-style side and rear skirts
MOTIVATION: 4 x inner wheels
SPEED: 16mph
WEAPON: As usual, the main weapon is a rear-hinged flipper. This is very similar to Chaos 2, except the blade at the bottom is bent ala Bigger Brother, allowing the flipper to have greater effect against bots with skirts or low centres of gravity. The flipper itself is powered by 2 X 80mm high pressure pneumatic rams, each running at 250psi. This should allow Wedge Devo to comfortably flip up to 1 tonne.
Also, the front blade can be exchanged for a Nose-style plate, approximately 15cm in length. This is used primarily for full-body spinners.
DRIVE: 2 x LEM-COs at 36v
POWER: 12 x 12v 3amp NiCad packs, giving 36v @ 12amp
ARMOUR: 4mm monocoque Hardox
GROUND CLEARANCE: 0mm at the front, 7mm for the rest of the robot (without skirts), 0mm at all sides (with skirts)
TURNING CIRCLE: 0m
NOTES: flashing red light on top of robot, flies Scotland flag

And to get around the static weapon rule, Mr Devo will feature two little static spikes on the rear. Along with the rear wedge, thisll also greatly help prevent any self-flipping.
If I can get the time, Ill maybe enter another, but hopefully, thisll be fine![]()
