My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

[kodster]

Yep.

[samuel3764]

What do you say Steve? Team up with Kody?

[kodster]

Now, now, Im supposed to ask that.

I dont really mind, though, if Steve does or doesnt. Im just going to attack Panzer. Destroy the tracks/treads so he cant move, maybe shred up his weapon a little. If he even thinks of pushing me around, spin around and smack him with the rotating hubs.

From Team Revelation, Panzer Mk 4!

The reigning champion of Robot Wars Extreme Warriors returns! They have got a six wheel drive, a bloody powerful flipper, that it will make you cry for your mommy. However, it has no self righting mechanism, funnily enough... Hmmm€¦

From Team Braveheart, Toby the T-Ram Engine!

Toby is based on a Thomas character, and it€™s a rambot with a roll cage€¦ Hmmm, it€™s been a while since I saw a rambot with a roll cage, but still, it could do well.

From Team Zlayerz, Aftershock!

Aftershock will definitely shock you and tear the crap out of you if you aren€™t careful. It€™s got a lethal spinning drum spinning at 3500 RPM and gives out 43KJs! Not only that, the wheel hubs spin at 6000RPM, and it€™s completely invertible as well, but being invertible means that axes and crushers can crumple its tyres€¦

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Panzer Mk 4, Toby the T-Ram Engine
Booth 2: Aftershock

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

First things first. Aftershock is spinning away to its maximum speed. Todd Mendanhall drives Panzer Mk 4, and now€¦ he€™s driving towards Aftershock, not knowing Kody has got his drum spun up!
CRASH!!!!!
OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! The wheel guard comes off! Now, the wheels are exposed! Ah man, this is carnage! Toby has pressed the pit button, and Aftershock now goes after Panzer again, and hits it from the front!
CRASH!!!!
OHHHHHHH!!!!! The flipper is gone completely! Ah, man, this is carnage already, after 30 seconds gone into the fight! Todd is looking glum now, after Kody ripped off his tyre guards and his flipper. Now, Toby comes out from nowhere and crashes into Panzer, and pushing him towards the arena hammers! Panzer takes a hammer blow!
WHAM!
Aw, MAN! It€™s smashed the siren thingy on the top of Panzer! Pieces are littering the arena floor, and now Kody comes out of nowhere, and Panzer is being pushed right into his drum by Toby!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The wheel is shredded, and Panzer finally gets flipped by Kody€™s drum, and the end is nigh for Panzer as Toby pushes it near the pit, and lets Kody finsh it off. BOOM!

CEASE!

Panzer Mk 4 better make room for Panzer Mk 5.
Toby and Aftershock go through!

One word: Pwnage.

[paulc]

Can I post in a revised version of Nitro-Gene please?

NITRO-GENE 4.0

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox for the body. 6mm Hardox flipper.

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with pointed sides and rear. At the front is a 42* wedge to aid in getting underneath other robots. All the lines have been curved over to make it harder for a spinner to grab onto a panel and rip.

€ MOTORS: 4 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 36HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 90CM (H) 17CM (W) 70CM

€ COLOUR: Black all over with the flipper coloured red.

€ WEAPONRY: A full pressure Nitrogen powered flipper at 1000psi, using a single 80mm ram at 1000psi. The flipper is mounted in the middle of the robot, and is 20cm wide and runs 30cm up the body. Using a 3cm long Titanium strip underneath the flipper, and a heavy flipping arm, the flipper runs completely along the ground. Running on a ratio 2.2:1, the flipper produces 1600kg of force at the tips, allowing me to launch anyone away! This version has 2 x 3kg Nitrogen bottles, giving me 25 flips!

€ SPEED: 22mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-2CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the sides/rear, its 2cm. The orginal weakness of Nitro-Gene (its high ground clearance) has been seen to by the skirts on the sides/rear. They are 5mm Titanium skirts and are joined together like BioHazard - at the corners. To avoid them breaking off, they are held in place by Hardox hinges.

€ STRENGTH: Pushing power and weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: High speed may mean difficult driving

Round Two Lineups

Wedgas Revenge VS Toby
SGG VS Aftershock

Tactics, Comments, Predictions and a new USB cord please.

«Wedgas Revenge vs. Toby the T-Ram Engine»

Were equal in the drive department so Toby wont be ramming me around too much. Tactics are short and simple here. Have a run at those skirts, get under them, fire the flipper and launch it skywards. If the rollbars continue to work, Ill go for the old stack routine and try and rest Toby up against the walls. From there it should be an easy OOTA. Both these robots are similar in some aspects. But while Tobys weapon is comedy, I have a nice powerful flipping arm to my advantage.

[steven_mcg]

That may be the first fight Tobys ever won.

Not much to do here but aim for the corners and pray for a pitting.

Supreme Glory Gamma vs. Aftershock

Haha! Perfect, an opponent who will get his weapon destroyed when he tries to attack me. Nothing fancy, just ram into him as many times as possible, keep pouring on the aggression, and hit him with the hubs when my main drum aint spinning. Hell also need one hell of a lucky hit to get my tires, which are quite strong as well. I love Supreme Glory Gamma to be honest, but seriously I think I have an excellent chance of winning. Just hit, flip, rip, destroy the axe.

Good luck Daniel.
