How Could I Improve...

*looks at it*

I assume you want me to check it as well?

:P

Nothing wrong with it, although you might have to explain the arches further.

Given Tri-Tainiums awful performance in its past tournuments, I was thinking of improvements I could make to stop it from being so bad.

Maybe Kody might like to do a render of this...along with some of the other renders I asked if he would do :wink:

TRI-TAINIUM

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox for the back/scoop. The top and bottom panels are 5mm Titanium and the sloped sides are 6mm Hardox to sheild the wheels. At the front there is 4cm of Vulkanised Rubber to prevent hits from its own weapons, as well as other weapons, and on the sides and top, theres 1 inch of PU foam.

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with a 42* front scoop (the scoop has a slight dip in it (set at 20*) to help get under other robots better) and 45* sloped sides and rear.

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 18HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 85CM (H) 25CM (W) 80CM

€ COLOUR: Unpainted, with the exception of the name on top written in black paint and the discs and their teeth coloured black as well.

€ WEAPONRY: The weaponry consists of 3 x 9kg discs, 230mm in diameter, with the teeth made out of 1cm of Titanium with 3 Hardox bludgening teeth with spikes on them, shaped to rip and flip (TT). The discs are set on the same axle, and amounted 6cm into the scoop, with the teeth just reaching UNDER the lip of the scoop (4mm), so the uppercut movement of the discs can attack base-panels and the like. The discs are powered by 2 x LEM130s at 36V. Set on a ratio of 1.5:1, it gives off 3600rpm. One disc is 55kj. The discs, combined together make 27kg, so the force given out is 165kj per hit! The large amounts of Rubber amounted behind the scoop stops the risk of self-destruction.

€ SPEED: 20mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-1CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the sides/rear, its 0-1cm. On the sides and rear now are 4mm Titanium, and held on by Hardox hindges. The skirts join up at the corners of the robot and also are held down by Vulkanised rubber so theyre less likely to lift up.

€ STRENGTH: Weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: No weaponry reversal if turned over.

In addition Liam, that looks a very nice upgrade of System Shock

Id like to see how you can get all that in those dimensions. :P

[joey_picus]

The teeth are made of Ti, and have additional Hardox teeth on them...

...what is the actual disc made of, Explodium?

[paulc]

No - the teeth are made of Hardox, and the discs are Titanium.

I agree with you completely Liam that often my tactics are bad. This is because I base them off figures - a bad idea, as figures help, but they arent ultra-important. I made a simillar mistake against Back To Rock III when it took on WORCK-ER. I didnt look at what may happen in the fight, I looked at Simillar hp amounts, Ive got the better weapon - Ill win. Deffo the wrong approach.

I agree completely Liam. The plan was to impale the spikes through the Lexiguard and keep him in front of me and make him easier to pit.

What happened was I implaed him at an angle, so he could pit me. Looking back it was a silly choice of weapon, because I was think in statical terms of judging the stats, and I thought Lexiguard armour - Ill pierce it no issue, and I was right on that, but it was the wrong approach, and I shouldve used a scooping weapon. Next time, I intend to use tactical and lateral thinking, of not just thinking of the pluses of one weapon.

In addition Liam, can I change Nitro-Gene 4.0 in your competition for Nitro-Gene 5.0? Like you did for Super Gore Revo
Who knows - maybe thatll do quite well. And in your tourny, Ive got some more robots left over, so maybe Ill do well with them.
