Name: Dues Ex Machina
Shape: Its centrally a block, set inside a thick ring. To be explained in weapons. Invertible.
Weight: 100kg
Motivation: On the central block there are two thin wheels, powered normally, set into the outside ring are two larger broad and high traction wheels with high power. The system is that either the outer ring can be locked parrallel with the inner wheels (using an actuator pwoered bolt, creates four wheels in a row) to give it quite good pushing power)
Power: 2x Lem 130s at 48volts for the outside wheels, 2x 750 watts Bosch motors at 24v for the inner wheels.
Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 2mm
Skirting: N/A
Armour: Outside ring has a spinner ring on it, beneath is 6mm titanium. On top (and bottom) there is 2cm polycarb.
Weapon: The otuer ring turns the robot into either a fbs or rambot, depending on opponent, when locked in place the ring turns the robot into a rambot, however, the wheels, when the ring is unlocked, turn in opposite directions, turning the outer ring into a spinner. The outer ring weighs 28kg and has two 2kg hardox blades, which are 3cm long.
SRIMECH: ivertible

Name: Vertindicular
Shape: Basic low box wedge with a disc support in the centre.
Picture: Sort of like this - http://www.micro-maul.co.uk/action/IMG_1619.JPGhttp://www.micro-maul.co.uk/action/IMG_1619.JPG
Weight: 100kgs
Motivation: Four wheels with a simple rubber grip.
Power: Two LEM130€™s at 48v powered by NiCads.
Speed: 12mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front wedge, 8mm at the sides and back.
Armour: 5mm Hardox front wedge, 6mm Ti/V everywhere else.
Weapon: A vertical spinning disc, held in a sort of cage that supports it and allows it to be run both ways up. Driven by a LEM130 at 48v. Two Hardox sharpened teeth to attack with on the disc. Can damage and flip other robots.
SRIMECH: Can work invertible, the cage simply swings into place.
Notes: Simple yet effective robot, one of the few vertical spinners about.

Hope that€™s all right, just tell me if you need any more info.

[team_britespark]

Team Name: Team BriteSpark
Representing: Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales
Robot Name: Dennis The Menace
Length/Width/Height: 100 x 40 x 25 - 35cm (The height of the robot increases as you move from the front to the back).
Weight: 100KG
Motivation: 2 foam filled go kart wheels made of uber-tough rubber.
Speed: About 18mph
Weapon: The main weapon is a 20kg spinning drum, powered by 2 Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motors. The weapon is capable of changing gears during a match. Originally, the drum spins at 2400RPM when geared down 10:1, but this can be increased to 2:1 at systematic intervals of 2 gearings (10:1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1 2:1). The 4mm Titanium drum is fitted with 2 horizontal Hardox bars, welded, screwed and riveted on to avoid them coming off. These are designed not only to flip, but to rip off skirts and armouring. The drum can hit with over 10kJ of force when spinning at 2400RPM, and increases to an astonishing 243kJ when spinning at 2:1 gearing (12000RPM).
Drive: 24v Sinclair C5 motors.
Power: 4 x 24v NiCad batteries.
Armour: 5mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
Ground Clearance: 4mm all around.
Turning Circle: 0M
Notes: The robot is invertible, and is completely symmetrical when flipped, meaning the performance isn€™t altered at all. The robot€™s shape is basically a box, but with the height increasing as you move from front to the back. The robot has 2 thick Hardox spikes on each side, which means it can pass the passive weaponry rule, and these also stop the robot resting on its side. To stop it resting on its back, the rear of the robot is slightly curved.


Turning Circle is 0m

BIO
Axe-O-Lotl likes a bit of Mexican chilli powder with his lubricating oil. After a break in Mexico, Axe-O-Lotl has returned to join the mightiest of the mighty on Team Dinowarrior. His powerful/persistant axe is brutal, and he has just as much power as Cyclone Force.
