The Slapstick League

[dinowarrior]

Hmm...by logic, it may be best to enter Orka, or Die-Ceratops; them being more experienced. But since that doesnt really apply, Obliteration it is!

OBLITERATION

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Revolutionist
Speed: 5mph
TC: 0
GC: 5mm all the way round. It has to be.
Wheels: 8 inner (4 on top, 4 below)
Armour: 7mm titanium
Power: It drives on 3x 12v batteries plus a couple of Magmotors. For the weaponary, the power matches Phrizbee.
Colour: Dark blue with tinges of black and brown.
Weapons: This robot is a full body spinner. The teeth are increibally sharp. It spins at about 500 rpm, and does damage similar to Phrizbee.
Srimech: Unusual for a FBS, this robot runs inverted.
Inspiration: It sounded cool. It also sounds like a ride at an amusment park, if you ask me.
Strengths: Body! Need I say more?
Weaknessess: Rather slow, First timer

BIO
Obliteration has the disposition of a train wreck many times over. Though he prefers to take his time around the arena, his super powerful spinning body delivers a nasty blow. Obliteration is a first stringer, and considers himself A closer - And he doesnt like having his photo taken for some reason! Watch out for this guy - hes no sweet pleasent ride let me tell you!

There are OOTAs. The arena has a low wall and a moat, with a standard shell of polycarb encasing everything.

Ill enter my favourite, most realistic design currently in my collection:

Name: Mass Disctruction Revolution (MDR)
Motivation: Wheels
Speed: 10.5MPH
Ground Clearance: 10mm
Weight: 100kg
Height: 140mm
Length: 700mm
Width: 700mm
Weapon: MDR sports a nifty 25.69kg Titanium Spinning Rim. The spinning rim is powered by a C40 Magmotor on 36v and is geared 5:1, rotating the spinning shell at 1200rpm and should spin up in around 2 seconds to max speed.
Drive: 2 x S28 Magmotors on 36v geared 12:1 onto a 140mm diameter wheel. Wheels are coated in urethane rubber to get more traction. The combined drive has 8HP peak power.
Batteries: 120 x 3600mAh NiCad Cells made into 36v packs. Produces 36v @ 14.4Amp/Hours
Armor: 5mm Aluminium top and bottom.
Notes: Invertible and easily to drive.

Strengths: Spinning weapon can attack/defend from any direction and has a moderately good 4WD drive train.
Weakness: High ground clearance might leave it susceptible to wedges and flippers. Rammers may try to box rush.

well, he did state you were allowed to enter a second robot, effectively answering your question...

and you could always replace How many entries with anothor robot I think, otherwise just call one of your vapours How many entries during this tournament

EDIT: just been browsing through Kodys team of vapourbots, I think its great to have such a fairly good and new team in the sports, dontcha think?

Andy entered Influence, if you recall.

And unless he gives it stats, itll either be the energizer bunny, or everything I ever entered.

Im feeling very un-inspirational at the moment, so I threw these stats together while half asleep...

Wedga Triton

Shape: Sort of box shaped with sloped side and rear, the front end is scooped and contains the flipping arm inside it.
Dimensions: 800mm x 700mm x 180mm (Length x Width x Height)
Weight: 100kgs (should be around that with 1% allowance and fuel)
Motivation: Four internal Ali wheels with a Vulkolan treaded tyre.
Drive: Two LEM130 Lynch Motors powered by 120x 3600mAh NiCad cells producing 36v and around 17hp.
Speed: Geared to go around 15mph, so moderately fast but still controllable.
Turning Circle: 0m (tank style steering)
Ground Clearance: 0mm under the front scoop and 10mm at the sides and back when skirts are not in place. When skirts are fitted there is pretty much 0mm all the way round.
Skirts: Hinged with a rotational joint at the bottom of the wedges to give a bit more protection against rear and side wedge/flipper attacks. Are sprung loaded, but no torsion stuff, just to give a bit of resistance.
Armour: 3.25mm Hardox front scoop, sides/top/bottom/rear all 6mm Titanium monocoque. Skirting is also 3.25mm Hardox.
Weapons: A rear hinged central flipping arm. Made of 4mm Hardox and goes across the top of the body and then rests comfortably inside the front scoop. This is so if a spinner hits the scoop, the arm doesn€™t get snapped clean off. It€™s powered by a nice 100 stroke 80mm bore ram and fed by CO2 gas at 145psi contained inside 2x 2.2kg canisters. This should give at least 30 flips in a fight, which is plenty. The decent drive train and scoop/wedge combinations can make it a good pushbot too.
SRIMECH: If anything ever gets under it to flip, the arm can easily right it.

Martijn: Yeah, I noticed Kodys been busy too. Only looked at a couple but glad to see people are still making vapourbots.

Weaknesses: Well, if you can OOTA or pit it by some random act of Satan...

Ill enter A Random Act Of Satan as my second bot please
