Lightweight

Just a Little Baldur
A little invertible box with a scoop at the front designed to survive everything. The scoop works both ways up. The weapon pivots on the side also prevent it gettign stuck on its side
Speciality: Armour

Middleweighthttp://www.geocities.com/alex_j_holt/sith.jpghttp://www.geocities.com/alex_j_holt/sith.jpg
Sith
A basic wedge flipper, the flipper self rights itself and is high pressure pnuematic. The bits at the front are retractable and are pushed out with actuators to get under other robots more effectivly.
Speciality: Jack of all trades.

Black Panther Queen
A pyramid with the tip cut off low down, skirts, and a double headed pnuematic axe and flipper. The flipper is in two halves but attached at the back, so that it doesnt interfere with the axe.
Speciality: Weapons

Red Knight
OK - the complex one. The main body is quite titchy, its all about the weapon. The weapon pivots off the centre, and follows an opponents direction using motion sensors - and is essentially a huge hardox plate on castors with a 10kg flywheel set into it for damage. Anyway, it basically means that whenever someoen attacks unless they are very fast theyll hit the plate, and the disc.
Speciality: Jack of all trades.

wait, we dont have to give all kinda fancy stats and details?

Guess Im in, wont be that hard to think of something, it might be hard to get some good pictures though, since I currently dont have any CAD program, lets see what Paint can do

EDIT: lol, misread the first post... are there any places left

Alex has some pretty solid designs, once again.

Room for one more. Whoever posts their entries first gets it. Whoever doesnt get in, dont worry too much. This can be over the day I get everything, probably. Soon enough well be doing a 2nd tournament.

Aw come on. I only have one more week of break to write this. After that, no guarantees Ill actually follow through.

**majinb** · 28th December 2006, 07:53

fine, Ill put something on

Lightweight-Another Night at the Bar
A broad axlebot with a big and heavy horizontal spinning bar mounted at the bottom, sticking out from the front and the back, the only reason it can drive at all is because of the very low centre of gravity, which keeps it (fairly) steady.
Specialities: That weapon

Middleweight: Waiting for the Axe to Fall
A compact double-headed axebot, shaped for perfect selfrighting, with a diamond-edged blade and a small titanium ram at the front, 4WD by two LEM-130s.
Specialities:Weapon
Pic: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i268/_MadBull_/Axe2.gifhttp://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...Bull_/Axe2.gif

Heavyweight:Flick of the Wrist
6WD Invertible box, with invertible lifting spikes, which can be raised to function as ramming spikes, yay!
Specialities: Traction, lotsa traction, and speed
Pic: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i268/_MadBull_/Flick.gifhttp://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ull_/Flick.gif

Superheavyweight: Sheer Heart Attack!
An invertible, tracked bot, designed to ALWAYS be in contact with the floor, and thereby safely drive up wedges, rams, whatever, while damaging stuff with that drum, basically, designed to gain advantage over opponents by driving OVER them.
Specialities: Nice traction, rough terrain, nice weapon (jack of all trades, really)
