[majinb]

thank you Chris Cooper and Alex Holt, now all I need is Martyns stats and I can get the draw up

also, I have a small question about Anthonys robot, Judo Chop!, your stat say nothing about a srimech nor about invertible-ness, so what happens when its flipped?

Firestorm, Mute, Gravity, Typhoon 2

Wolf

Mass-100kg
Weapons-front hinged flipper running at 250psi
Dimensions-95cm length/80cm width/40cm high
Shape-low wedge shape/sloped rear with skirts on the side
Wheels-Four inner wheels
Top Speed-22mph
Armour-8mm titanium all round
Motors-2x LEM130s at 36v

Weight-100kg
Shape-low wedge/sloped rear with Biohazard like side and rear skirts
Wheels-4 inner wheels
Speed: 20 mph

There is the option of removing the strip and putting a small titanium plate that extends the flipper out 15cm. It could be used against dangerous spinners. Spikes at the back to prevent robot flipping itself over.

[martyn]

Name-Forklift 2
SHAPE- Low box with rear anti self flipping wedge
COLOUR- Yellowy orange
WEIGHT- 100kg
SPEED- 18mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at front due to flipper, 0mm at sides due to skirts 7mm with out, 0mm at rear due to wedge. The skirts are held down by torsion springs
ARMOUR- 3mm hardox
WHEELS- has 6 inner storm 2 style wheels
POWER- 2 x S28 Magmotors on 24v.
WEAPONS- it now uses a flipping arm that works much like the matadors or Toro€™s the flipper is powered by co2 on a 120mm pneumatic ram, working at 145psi, the flipper front is pretty unique as its front is like that of a fork lift (it has 2 flat bits of metal) this is welded onto the flipper, the arm can toss robots very high and if possible out of the arena. The prongs of the forklift weapon are used to get under the corners or gaps of skirts
SRIMECH- the flipper self rights the robot but because of the rear wedge thing it self rights like firestorm does i.e. the front wheels will go down first
NOTES- this is a modified version of my robot from the panic attack forum.
STRENGTHS- Power full weapon
WEAKNESSES- limited co2

Name: Disco 5
Shape: Low Wedge with small rear wedge
Motivation: it now uses four storm 2 style Vulcalon wheels
Speed: 12.5 Mph
Weight: 100kg
Height: 300mm to top of body, 600mm to the top of the disc
Length: 1300mm
Width: 600mm
Weapon: 500mm Vert. flywheel @ 3000rpm. Has a 4.00 second spin up time due to the C40-500 Magmotor on 36v with a 2:1 twin tension cog belt reduction. The flywheel produces 31.5Kj€™s at maximum RPM but is lethal at around 1 second. The second weapon is also the srimech, this weapon is a low pressure pneumatic flipper running on 10Bar (145psi) running into a single 80mm bore ram. This produces 509kg at the ram and is then transferred into the flipper with a leverage point ratio of 1:1. This is a forward facing flipper like FireStorm and will have no problem toppling the heaviest of robots.
Chassis: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium monocoque with extra 5mm Titanium ribs to give it more rigidity.
Drive: 2 x S28-400 Magmotors @ 36v with a 10:1 Mod 2 spur gear reduction
Batteries: 90 x 3000mAh NiCD cells producing 36v @ 9amp
Color- the robot and skirts and flipper are blue and the disc is yellow
Clearance- it has 0mm at the front due to the wedge it has 0mm at the sides due to skirts its 6mm with out it also has a 0mm at the rear due to the small wedge which is there to replace the problem of the skirt being flipped into the disc. The skirts are NOT hinged and held down by torsion-springs so they shouldn€™t spring up and the rear one shouldn€™t go up into the disc
Notes- The flywheel is at the back off the robot it goes over the back of the wedge so if I can get a robot up the wedge far enough it will be hit by the disc. The skirts stop the robot landing on its side.
Achievements- as disco, 3rd seed in ajwars and undethed challenge belt holder in ajwars extreme 1-4 ajwars 3 8th seed, as disco 4, semi finalist of the lord of the ring tourney, WINNER OF THE LORD OF THE RING TOURNEY

POWER- it uses 2 x lem 130€™s

Predictions? Thoughts? I can€™t wait to hear them

The battle line-up for Heat A will be up soon

[siphai]

Wow, that was close. Almost wasnt able to have a competition to compete in! =P

Hmm... I think that The Windmill probably has the best chance of all my robots... FBSDS could probably do well two, it would take out a lot of those robots in Heat H with ease... Looks pretty nice.

Oh, and its also good to see a tournament move this fast too. =P

[majinb]

thanks Alex, Im just full of enthusiasm, and remember, its also because of the competitors themselves that this tournament can run so fast (well, till now anyway)

but I think Ill wait with the actual battles untill I heard a couple of predictions for the heat winners, although I realise its hard to give an unbiased prediction for every heat when everyone has a competing robot in 6 heats, there are still two heats left for everyone to predict

still needed: Anthony to explain how Judo Chop! works inverted

[martyn]

Martijn it would be easyer for us to predict if we had the round 1 line up but the tourny looks good
