Nice impression, AJ. You could do that for a living.

Sorry, this isnt designed to improve WORCK, just to make sure its inside reality. The only differences here were the phrasing of certain body-parts, and the debilerate adding of shock proof padding in case Im REALLY flipped.

WORCK

â‚¬ WEIGHT: 100kg

â‚¬ ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox for the body and flipper. 6mm Hardox for the scoop. There are hindged wedges on the sides and rear of Worck made of 3.25mm Hardox. Behind the armour, all the way around Vulkanised rubber to shock-proof it against spinners.

â‚¬ SHAPE: A low wedge shape.

â‚¬ MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP

â‚¬ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

â‚¬ DIMENSIONS: (L) 70CM (H) 15CM (W) 70CM

â‚¬ COLOUR: Black for the flipper and barbs, white for the body.

â‚¬ WEAPONRY: A forward hindged flipper, running on a single 750psi ram running on CO2. The gas is contained in 2 x 2.5kg bottle, giving me 20 flips per fight, and the gearing on the ram 3:1 means we have 1300kg of flipping force! That should mean on a forward hindged flipper that I can flip almost everything OOTA.

â‚¬ SPEED: 13mph

â‚¬ GROUND CLEARANCE: The wedges, which join up at the corners of the robot, make the ground clearance effectively zero, but underneath the wedges is 5mm of clearance. The wedges are held on by Titanium hindges

â‚¬ STRENGTH: Near impossible to get under.

â‚¬ WEAKNESS: Low speeds.

If you ask where all the shock-proofing came from, I lost 5kg on the redesign, so I added in that in case I faced a spinner.

DONT DOUBLE POST!

Well, to be fair, you cant really hold THAT against him, seeing as how FRA disables edits after 10 minutes.

The rest stands, though.

YOURE WELCOME!

No place for grudges in a regular tournament like this, why do you have a grudge against Chris anyway?
