Boo

As a favour for Kody, Im entering with:

Name: 616
Shape: Invertible box
Colour: Well it was a choice of either buying paint or a pie, and the pie won, so it is unpainted.
Drive: 4 wheel drive, keep things simple with 2 motors, chain drive
Armour: A mixture of a steel chassis and 4mm steel panels covering the major parts, and 5mm Ali plate over the not-so-important parts
Weight: 98KG Ish
Speed: 10 mph, acceleration is fast.
Weapons: A wedge at the front.
Srimech: Its invertible
Strengths: Its invertible, 4 wheel drive
Weaknesses: First bot I have designed in over 18 months or so, not the most high-tech.

ive had a look at some of your vapourbots, and i think wbc needs swapping for wbc 2

Name: wheely big cheese (2)
Shape: same as the old one
Colour: red and golden yellow
Drive: 2x LEM130 at 36v, 12:1 ratio twin cobra controllers with turbo button
Armour: titanium (mostly 4mm, up to 8mm in places)
Weight: 100kg
Speed: 25mph
Weapons: 120mm bore, 450mm stroke full pressure ram, twin buffertanks, twin 2kg bottles, 1 burkett valve and secondary 1/2 burkett (varies power)
Srimech: dont need one, runs and flips both ways up.
Strengths: if wbc, storm 2 and gravity had a baby....
Weaknesses: dunno, its not finished yet.

[kodster]

No, youre not, Tony! You just booted Steve out of the running! Sorry Steve! The tournament is full! :sad:

Anyway, Martijn requested the first spot, so he needs to put in a vapour.

And Leo, Im not sure what Hannibal looks like. Could you send a pic of it or put it on your profile? Thanks!

Ill enter Flick of the Wrist

Name - Flick of the Wrist

Shape - 6-wheeled Tornado, including the angled rear to keep in contact with the ground while driving up a wedge

Weight - 100 Kilogram

Speed - 35 km/h (22mph)

Dimensions - 120x80x20 cm

Ground Clearance - 10 mm under the main body, variable clearance under the lifting spikes, with 0 mm as a minimum

Power - 2 B42-500 Magmotors at 48 volt

Movement - 6 wheels for awesome traction

Turning Circle - Zero

Weaponry - A pair of hardox, diamond tipped electric lifting spikes, a lot like the lifting spatula of American SHW Vladiator. These are 25 cm in length and can be lifted downwards which turns them into an active invertible lifting wedge. They can also be raised parallel to the floor, so they can act as a pair of classic ramming spikes. A 100 kg robot driving around at 22 mph is good for 5 kJ of kinetic energy. When this is brought onto a pair of diamond tipped spikes, this might seriously harm some armours.

Armour - 7 mm titanium all around

Srimech - It€™s invertible

Strenghts - High speed rambot, awesome traction
Weakness - Lack of devestating weapons

[kodster]

Okay, Ive stalled enough. Heres a stat description (not really that detailed though) of the house robots!

1. Exa-GORE-Ic: Artificial Intelligence
Shape: A long rectangular box.
Weight: 400kg
Body Colour: Navy blue
Speed: 10mph
Armour: Heavily plated titanium on top of some mm hardox.
Weapons: A pair of pincers on both sides. The pincers are slightly thin but are made of hardox and are diamond-tipped. Theyre also coloured red.
Srimech: Doesnt need one, hes invertible.
Weak points: Perhaps a high vertical crusher or a low disc could attack his tires...

2. Ancalagon the Black (previously Smaug the Golden)
Shape: pyRAMedroid, but several times bigger, and this time with skirts at the sides and rear.
Weight: 800kg
Body Colour: ...black
Speed: 20mph
Armour: Most of it is Ti/Va alloy but the underside is unprotected.
Weapons: Watch out, its over-the-top this one! He has two vertical discs at the front, and between them is a crusher-design shaped like a dragon head. This head has two weapons: a flamethrower, and vertical crushing ability. Hes lost the rear third disc and side spikes but gains speed.
Srimech: None.
Weak points: If hes flipped once, hes dead.

3. Double Big Mac
Shape: Very low cone shape (lower than Typhoon 2)
Weight: 170kg
Body Colour: Orangey, err...bun-coloured.
Speed: 9mph
Armour: Hardox, but the underbelly is aluminum alloy.
Weapons: Think Son of Whyachi but with 4 hammers instead of three. This time, hes got an additional hammer on top of each hammer hes got, all-in-all 8 spiked hammers.
Srimech: None.
Weak points: Underarmour, and if you flip him once, hes dead.

4. Double Whamlet
Shape: Splinter
Weight: 150kg
Body Colour: Teal.
Speed: 20mph
Armour: Mostly aluminum/vanadium alloy, but theres some titanium plating on the underbelly in case hes flipped.
Weapons: Triple plow in front - the one in the middle can lift, not like Behemoth, rather like a flipper. Hes also got twin axes on the top, and side grabbing arms like Splinter. All the axes are made of hardox, and very resilient to discs.
Srimech: Twin axes.
Weak points: Hes fairly easily to flip if you get around to his rear, and hes got poor traction.

5. Taki-san
Shape: Rammstein from Battlebots
Weight: 120kg
Body Colour: Half is blood red, and the rear is navy blue.
Speed: 30mph
Armour: Aircraft aluminum, with vents to reduce weight.
Weapons: The main weapon is the front electric lifting wedge, but at the rear is a new weapon: a 1500rpm spinning flywheel.
Srimech: Shes invertible.
Weak points: Exposed wheels to crushers; can be flipped easily from sides; so-so control.

6. Tira-san
Shape: Hexagonal, but more pointed at the front.
Weight: 130kg
Body Colour: Forest green, contrasted in different ways.
Speed: 15mph
Armour: Ti/Va alloy.
Weapon: A horizontal flywheel similar to the SoulCalibur Tiras weapon, only its purple. Its rather like a spinning inertia, and it goes at 3500rpm.
Gimmicks/Crowd Pleasers: When Tira smashes an opponent with her flywheel, a load of green and purple sparks pop out, coupled with smoke.
Srimech: A Tengu-like arm that pops up super-fast and rights her. Might flip opponents if they are top of her.
Weak points: Reliability is one; she also has a slow weapon acceleration.

7. Asterix Heroicus
Shape: MW Bad Attitude
Weight: 106kg
Body Colour: Gold and black.
Speed: 50mph
Armour: Aircraft aluminum, with some polycarbonate on the underbelly.
Weapons: Asterix IS the weapon. Using a front titanium wedge shaped like this (=/) and a rear inverted one when hes inverted, hell ram and slam you around before you can say Quid?!
Srimech: Hes invertible.
Weak points: Poor side and bottom armour, poor control, exposed wheels to crushers and axes.

8. Obelix Bulguous
Shape: Same as Asterixs but bigger.
Weight: 225kg
Body Colour: Orange with yellow speckles.
Speed: 15mph
Armour: Mostly vanadium alloy, but theres some titanium plating on the top.
Weapons: A high pressure hammer like The Judges.
Srimech: Hammer.
Weak points: Poor maneouverability, wheels exposed to crushers and axes.

9. The Watcher
Shape: Refbot
Weight: 150kg
Body Colour: Grey/black.
Speed: 10mph
Armour: Steel/titanium stuff.
Weapons: A lifting arm on his right side and a fire extinguisher on his left. Displays a timer on his belly. The lifting arm isnt really a weapon, its mainly used to seperate robots.
Srimech: None.
Weak points: Hes not a competitor; flip him once and hes dead.
