This is the current entries list, with 2 extra spots, so sign-up quickly, before theyre filled up!

[joey_picus]

...can I be difficult and replace Panic Attack with Penetrator from series 2?

[paulc]

Im afraid not, as I have no idea who Penetrator is.

[joey_picus]

Never mind, thats okay...I just thought that given the history of real robots in fanfic, Penetrator had more of a chance :P

[kodster]

If Paul will allow it, Samuel, you should make Death Wish 110kg, as tracked robots should be allowed that weight. Look at all the tracked bots out there that weigh 110kg (Darkestar, Sheer Heart Attack 2, Super Gore Evo...)

And GIANT improvement, by the way.

[paulc]

Right, Ive decided that what I might do, just to fill up the final 2 spots is to enter 8 RW realies and 8 BB realies. If two extra people enter by the end of the day, then I wont do this.

[paulc]

Right, actually, I think Ill just do it now. Just to get this thing breathing again.

So post in tactics, predictions and a wheelbarrow

[alex_holt]

Cable
Weight: 150kg
Shape: Snakelike - 9 articulated separate segments are present, all of which are essentially a slightly compressed semi circular prism excepting the front ones. At the front the head is effectively a very flat cone going down to a flat sheet of 3mm titanium that runs parallel to the group (aka a big brother style spatula) which is sharpened at the far edge to give a maximum low ground clearance. I€™ll try and at least do an illustration before the fight.
Mobility and €˜Motors€™: The whole machine is moved in the middle 7 segments in a snakelike manner by using a sequence of 16 jumbo servos to provide horizontal movement and air muscles at 300 psi to provide vertical movement. Instead of me attempting to control the movements of every individual segment, they all move on a number of pre-programmed movement patterns housed in the electronics in the 5th segment. I can essentially vary these by directing where I want the head section to go as if it were a normal vapour and the computer works out where the rest of the parts need to go to achieve that.
Speed: 5mph
Turning circle: 0m in a manner of speaking but not in such a quick way as most vapours
Armour: 8mm of aluminium T2021, the base of the robot also has a 5mm textured polyurethane to give it some traction. The central control module of the robot also has an extra 3mm of titanium over the top to give it some extra protection for the control module.
Ground clearance: At the front, the flipper spatula essentially gives it a 0 ground , in theory the rest has a 0 ground clearance but it because sections lfit off the ground to move it varies considerably. In addition the 3rd, 5th and 7th segments have small suction pumps which allow the robot to clamp down to protect it to clamp down to give it some resistance against rammers and flippers. This doesn€™t mean it can€™t be flipped, but more that it€™s fiddly to do so. It can also be used to pivot the robot around faster.
Weapons: The front section of the robot has inside a bellows pneumatic ram (about 100mm diameter) and a tank of c02 at 1000 psi that push the head upwards as a flipper.
Furthermore in some instances due to the sloped sides it may be possible for Cable to wrap around the base of an opponent and lift them off the ground, however, this is unlikely to do any damage unless it is already and some to the point where I could know it off. In theory if there was a gaping hole in the opponent (presumable in a melee with a powerful machine or in the instance of a flipper with a big €˜bite€™) I could try and worm my way inside an opponent but it would really depend on context if I was likely to achieve much in the attempt.
Strengths: Difficult for opponent to control in a fight due to unusual design. Weapon can move around a lot more relative to the robot
Weaknesses: Long sides for movement mean it can be easy to attack. Not the fastest bot ever.

Now watch as Aaron tears it apart...

[joey_picus]

Pretty good draw, Paul. *hands over a very large wheelbarrow* Ignore the blood please, it belonged to one of my more bizarre friends...

Anyway. Tactics.

HEAT A
Kali (1) vs. Bulldog Breed vs. GABRIEL v1.25
If Alex feels like being merciful, care for a team up against the bulldog? We might be able to get him OOTA if we work together. *look of hopefulness*

HEAT B
Atomic (19) vs. NIDHOGG vs. Black Death
Avoid Black Death. I think I may be able to get round the side of Atomic, and then get the forks underneath and have a nibble, possibly feeding Atomic to Black Death if the circumstances permit. And of course, Im always open to teamings.

HEAT I
Achilles (16) vs. Crimson Thunder vs. FIRE AND ICE
Ill go for Crimson Thunder first, and try to get round the side or under it somehow and ram it into the walls or pit. I may use the saw on the wheels as well if the opportunity arises.

HEAT J
Sheer Heart Attack (30) vs. 147 vs. Ripper
Care for a team-up against Ripper, Martijn? I could get under and shove Ripper into the drum, if thats the case, or just go straight for the OOTA.

HEAT K
Quocunque Jeceris Stabit (2 vs. 13 BLACK vs. Pussycat
Spin up, and try and do a Fluffy on Pussycats blade or wheels.

HEAT L
MegaByte (10) vs. Spring-BOK! vs. PANIC ATTACK
Treat Megabyte as a mobile arena hazard - avoid and try and push Spring-BOK! into it if I get under.

HEAT N
Ramthrax 2 (6) vs. DARKE DESTROYER vs. Death Wish
Uhhhhh...avoid everything. Do a few laps of the arena, then if by some miracle Im still working, do the same in the opposite direction. Perform a few three-point turns and figure-8s if I have time.

HEAT P
Wedginator 6.0 (2) vs DREADNAUT XP1 vs. Suicidal Tendincies
Try and get the forks in Suicidal Tendencies tracks, and pit him if possible. If Kody wishes for a team-up, that could be arranged.
