Righty-o...

King Rat
WEIGHT: 200kgs
DIMENSIONS: 120 x 70 x 45 cms
SHAPE: Somewhat like a rat - an elongated dome with one pointed end.
COLOUR: Blackish grey, thanks to the fur
DRIVE: 3 LEM200 motors driving 2 rear wheels from 4 SLA batteries at 48v - the robot uses car type steering from a windscreen wiper motor moving two unpowered front wheels.
SPEED: 24mph average, 40+ mph max
GROUND CLEARANCE: 0 at the front due to the forks, 7mm at the sides and rear
ARMOUR: 7mm titanium (7mm hardox in critical areas) all around the top, covered in 2mm black Kevlar fur, with an 8mm aluminium baseplate.
WEAPONS: Primarily a rammer - has four 25cm long tungsten tipped Hardox blades/spikes in the robots front nose to inflict damage. Also has a pair of hardened steel lifting forks in the nose, running flat with the ground and running from a Parvalux PM1 motor and a lead screw that can lift 400kgs, and an electrically powered 60cm long steel axe with a tungsten tipped blade, running off an S28-150 Magmotor and a Mortis style linkage that can hit twice a second.
SRIMECH: Is designed to roll back onto its wheels if tipped over, and has a low centre of gravity to aid in this.
NOTES: Has laser eyes, furry ears and a long fabric tail, and lots of shockproofing to protect from spinners.
STRENGTHS: Very controllable, fast, good ramming and pushing power
WEAKNESSES: Large turning circle, easily flipped (but does roll over if flipped)

All right. In that case, I would like to enter the following two heavyweights as a clusterbot.

So youre replacing Super Gore Evo and Tira III instead of Flick Of The Wrist 2x, Kody?

[joey_picus]

Flick Of The Wrist is Martijns entry, not Kodys.

And Kody, may I ask how you worked out a strong paperclip was enough to hold two skirts together?

[bartmanhomer]

So far. We have 7 robots left. Now we have to wait for AJ robot to enter. Oh yeah, that reminds me, there also a melee which all the entrants that sign up here, The same 8 entrants will face a rumble. Just to let you know.

[bartmanhomer]

[bartmanhomer]
