Thread: My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

  1. #11
    Count me in

    The 6isc

    Shape: Too complicated, apparently. See picture in the vapourbot images thread.

    Size: 60X110X60 CM (LWH)

    Weight: ~100 KGs

    Speed: 10 MPH.

    Ground clearance: Under the wheel protectors, it€™s 5 mm.

    Weapon: 26 KG spinning disc, powered by one LEM 130 Lynch motor and going at 2500 RPM. The disc is shaped with its own teeth rather than needing teeth surgically attached to it, so dentistry is quite impossible. The energy output is 36 KJ€™s which, while modest by vapour €˜bot standards should still be enough to make a mess of things.

    Wheels: 6 wheels, but four wheel drive. This has three wheels on either side arranged in a triangular fashion, so it only runs on four at a time. The wheels are 1 CM solid Ti with soft compound rubber wrapped around them to provide shock resistance, and a layer of Vulcalon wrapped around that to provide traction.

    Chassis: The main chassis consists of one solitary 1 CM thick 4 mm box section hardox bar. Slotted over that is a secondary axle, inside which are the batteries. There are also two other triangular chassis€™ supporting the wheels. These are made from 4 MM 1 CM box section Ti bars with weight reducing holes.

    Armour: The true axle and chassis is a 4 MM hardox bar. The battery axle is 2 mm aluminium. The semi circular wheel protectors and side spikes are 5 mm Hardox. The disc itself is 14 MM of Hardox 500, and the outer axle is 4 mm grade 5 Ti.

    Srimech: Totally invertible. Controls won€™t even have to be reversed after flipping, meaning it can just go straight back on the attack.

    Drive: 2 S28-400 Magmotors at 24 volts.

    Strengths: The newest version of The 6isc does away with as many weaknesses in The Disc 5 as I could find.

    Weaknesses: Weak armour in places. Can€™t use axe attacks.

    Tempest Evil-est-oution

    Shape: Ring spinner.

    Speed: 12 MPH.

    Dimensions(dh): 80CM X 25 CM

    Armour: The spinning ring is 1.8 CMs of Ti. The base and top are 1.5 CMs of polycarb, giving a total armour weight of around 63 KGs.

    GC: 1 CM.

    Weapon: Ring spinner powered by two Lem 130s and spinning at 1000 RPM to deliver 83 KJs per hit. The four hardox teeth are 10 CMs long with two being placed near the top and two near the bottom.

    Drive: 2 wheeled, driven by S28-400 magmotors.

    Srimech: Invertible.

    Notes: Has an absolute buttload of shock proofing inside. Everything is firmly bolted down, with layers of rubber between everything. Added to that, the teeth have a backwards curving shape which maximises the distance it will throw itself away from the opponent. The reason is twofold. First is to make ramming and flipping it difficult, but the main reason is to bleed away kinetic energy backlash, by using that backlash to move the robot externally rather than internally.

    Strengths: Hits hard and is hard to hit. Not much is getting through the armour.

    Weaknesses: Should the spinner fail, it€™s pretty much screwed.

    Dead Horse beater

    Shape: A box with a wedge at the front.

    Speed: 12 MPH.

    Dimensions(lwh): 80CM X 50 CM X 25 CM

    Armour: 5 MM hardox for the top sides, rear. 4 mm Polypropylene for the base.

    GC: 1 mm at the front 6 mm elsewhere.

    Weapon: An axe, shaped like a baseball bat with a nail in it. The shaft is made from 5 MM Ti, the nail is hardox. This is pneumatic, powered by two rams at 750 psi.

    Drive: 2 wheels, powered by two S28-400 magmotors at 24 volts.

    Srimech: The axe. The sides are rounded so it won€™t rest on them.

    Strengths: Good armour, axe should be powerful and have a fair amount of hits. Can still push if axe fails. Has a picture of a dead horse on the top.

    Weaknesses: Base armour isn€™t too good, axes are hard to aim.

    Door Stops

    Shape: A two part cluster bot, each part is an invertible wedge. Kinda like a door stop. The backs are rounded to prevent being beached.

    Speed: 15 MPH.

    Dimensions(lwh): 40CM X 30 CM X 20 CM

    Armour: 4 MM hardox for the front 20 CMs, 5 mm grade 5 Ti for the rear 20 CMs

    GC: 0 at the front tip, raising to 1.5 CM at the rear.

    Weapon: Static wedges at the front.

    Drive: 2 large internal wheels towards the end of the robot, powered by LEM 130€™s at 36 volts, which if memory serves should provide 18 HP.

    Srimech: Invertible.

    Linking method: One part has a clip on the rear, the other has an €œeye€ The two pieces can fight as one when clipped together, and with some good driving, the two can reunite in the middle of battle. Admittedly this would take awesome skills, but admittedly I am awesome.

    Strengths: Good front armour, designed for taking on spinners, it€™s a cluster €˜bot.

    Weaknesses: Not so wonderful back armour, could wheelie due to high acceleration, it€™s a cluster €˜bot.

    Sakura

    Shape: Shaped like a closed cherry blossom, sort of conical.

    Speed: 12 MPH

    Dimensions(dh): 90X30 - diameter taken from the widest part of the machine, it gets narrower as it goes up.

    Colour: Let€™s just say it€™s a shade Bex would approve of

    GC: 1 CM

    Turning circle: 0

    Weapon: Team Bored€™s first true FBS clocks in with a 50 KG FBS shell, spinning at 1500 RPM and powered by two LEM 130s on 36 volts, which should give a nice fast spin up time. There are four hardox teeth, painted and shaped to look like leaves. These are razor sharp to give a nice slice, and they€™re also barbed to catch and rip opponents. I can only estimate the power output due to the shape not being supported by the energy calculator. This clocks in between 90-100 KJs.

    Weapon 2: Humiliation. Who wants to admit they just got beat up by a flower?

    Armour: 8 mm hardox for the spinning shell, 5 mm Polypropylene for the base.

    Drive: 4 wheel drive, powered by two S28-400 Magmotors on 24 volts.

    Srimech: There€™s a hole at the very top of the cone, out of which a blunt self righting spike can come up. This is powered by low pressure pneumatics. Due to weight constraints, it can probably only self right about ten times.

    Features: Near the top of the cone are holes. These aren€™t just for reducing weight, as each hole leads to a small aluminium box which is full of pink confetti. As the shell spins, this should be strewn out, allowing Sakura to fight in a cloud of cherry blossoms.

    ISDSFA

    Shape: Similar to Behemoth.

    Speed: 15 MPH.

    Dimensions(lwh): 70CM X 60 CM X 40 CM

    Armour: 3.5 mm hardox, reinforced to 5 mm around the wheels. Scoop is made of 5 mm hardox.

    GC: 0 mm at front, 1 CM everywhere else covered with 3 mm ti side skirts.

    Weapon 1: Electric scoop, powered by linear actuators. Should be able to lift around 250 KGs.

    Weapon 2: Small flywheel, giving around 8 KJs per hit. This is hidden behind the scoop. Once a robot is raised, this is extended to strike the base of the victim, with the aim of attacking wheels.

    Drive: 4 wheels, driven by Lem 130s.

    Srimech: The scoop, and Behemoth style side arms.

    Strengths: Good pushing power and able to attack a robots drive directly.

    Weaknesses: Spinner pretty much useless against armour.

    The May Tracks Has You

    Shape: Like Comengetorix. It has a wedge extender to give it 0 mm at the front.

    Speed: 20 MPH.

    Dimensions(lwh A): 85CM X 45 CM X 24 CM

    Armour: 4.5 MM hardox.

    GC: 0 mm at the front, 6 mm everywhere else, covered by skirts made of 3 mm Ti.

    Weapon 1: Rear hinged flipper, powered by two pneumatic rams at 500 psi.

    Weapon 2: Upward facing spikes on the wedge. A robot can go over them, but if it tries to reverse, say goodbye to your tyres. By wedging a robot then reversing suddenly, TMTHY can impale the tyres, then fire the flipper to do loads of damage. Even a robot with stuffed tyres will be limping after that.

    Drive: Inner tracks, powered by Lem-130€™s at 24 volts.

    Srimech: The flipper.

    Strengths: Weapon synergy. Once The May Tracks Has You, there is no escape.

    Weaknesses: Axe/flipper combos could take the tracks out.

    Ill also enter Big Nipper

    7) Wheely Pure Evil 2
    Dennis the Menace

    Name: Supreme Glory Gamma
    Weight: 100kg
    Armour: 20mm Lexan and LexiGuard compound
    Speed: 8mph
    Shape: Pyramid shaped
    Weapon 1: An 11kg Aluminium alloy axe powered by a 60v Etek, capable of generating 3Kj of force per hit.
    Strengths: Strong armour and very manoeuvrable.
    Weaknesses: Axe only works if something is in front or behind the robot.
    Ground Clearance: 0mm all around due to skirts.
    Srimech: The axe self rights the robot.
    Notes: The robot is powered by 2 x 800watt 36v DC motors giving 8mph top speed. The 2 wheels are made from Ti/V alloy and coated in Vulcalore to aid in traction. The robot is covered in 20mm Lexan and LexiGuard compound. The axe weighs a total of 11kg and is shaped like Excaliburs axe from series 3 of Robot Wars. This shape is designed to focus all the force on a single point, meaning it can pierce through armour easily. The axe can give 3Kj of force per hit, roughly the same as Beta. The tips of the axe are covered in a thin layer of carbon, so if it fights a robot with Titanium armour, it can get through the armour even easier. To stop the robot from hopping about when the axe is fired, the robot incorporates a vacuum system. This can be switched on and off during a battle to allow for manoeuvrability and superior traction when static. The skirts on SGG are made from Grade 5 Titanium and are held in place by hinges.

    Name: Squishiest
    Weight: 100kg
    Armour: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium
    Speed: 20mph
    Shape: Low wedge
    Weapon 1: A very powerful hydraulic crusher, with 14 tonnes of pressure at the tip.
    Strengths: Very powerful crusher and strong armour. Good pushing power and good speed.
    Weaknesses: Slow srimech.
    Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to wrinkler device. 5mm at sides and 1cm at back.
    Srimech: It uses a set of Razer style wings.
    Notes: The robot is powered by 2 LEM130 Lynch motors running at 36v, giving 20mph top speed and pushing power equivalent to 18HP. The robot has 6 inner Vulcalore wheels, which give tremendous traction. The crusher itself is made from 4mm Hardox, with 300 weight reducing holes. It is powered by an M-Mac M40 Hydraulic Actuator running at 12v, which can give 14 tonnes of pressure. The actuator has already been used in Robotic Combat, so this robot is realistic. The tip of the crusher is coated in carbon, so it can rip through Titanium easily. For the weapon to function properly, the robot contains 12 x 9.6-volt NiMh Radio Controlled Car Batteries, each weighing 12oz.

    Name: Manic Monsoon
    Weight: 100kg
    Armour: 5mm Hardox all over.
    Speed: Roughly 28mph
    Shape: Box wedge with side skirts and rounded back.
    Weapon 1: A linear actuator powered lifter running by a 4 bar system at 24v. This can lift 200kg easily.
    Weapon 2: A small strip of Grade 5 Titanium on the front wedge, which gives 0mm ground clearance.
    Strengths: Powerful drive and good strong weapon
    Weaknesses: A bit too fast and hard to control when at full speed.
    Ground Clearance: 0mm on front and sides, 1cm at back.
    Srimech: Invertible, but can self right using the lifter if wanted to.
    Notes: The robot is powered by 2 B42-500 MagMotors running at 60v. This gives Monsoon approx 60HP! The robot has a total of 6 wheels, 3 on each side. Each side is linked together by a set of heavy duty belts, giving 0m turning circle and the manoeuvrability of a 2 wheeled bot, and each wheel is coated in Vulcalon. The front wedge is angled at 42.5 degrees, meaning that it is not too steep or too shallow. The lifting arm is powered by a S28-150 MagMotor, and is made from 7075 Aluminium. The lifter itself can lift a total of 200kg, and can self right the robot if needs be. The side skirts are made from 4mm Titanium and are hinged.

    Name: Dervish \//
    Weight: 100kg
    Armour: 10mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, with 5mm Lexiguard inside that to protect electronics.
    Speed: 14mph
    Shape: Invertible cylinder, like Barberous
    Weapon 1: Spinning body which spins upwards, so it can flip its opponents.
    Strengths: Powerful weaponry and very manoeuvrable
    Weaknesses: Exposed wheels.
    Ground Clearance: 7mm all around
    Srimech: Invertible
    Notes: The robot is powered by 2 C40-500 MagMotors with 4 36v packs and geared down 20:1, giving the robot a top speed of 14mph. Both wheels are based around Stinger, but have Vulcalore trims to aid in traction. The spinning body is made from 10mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, with 5mm Lexiguard inside that. The spinning body has Carbon tipped blades and Grade 5 Titanium blades attached all over it, so it can destroy all matters of armour. The body itself is powered by 2 LEM 130s running at 36v via 4 packs. This means the drum spins at approx 2500RPM. This should be enough power to destroy a robot in a matter of seconds.

    Name: Sonic Boom
    Weight: 100kg
    Armour: 1cm thick Hardox wheel hubs, 5mm Hardox axe head and 5mm thick axe pole. The axle joining the 2 wheels is made from 6mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
    Speed: 28mph.
    Shape: The robot is an axlebot based around Stinger.
    Weapon 1: A momentum powered axe, which can come down with 800kgs of force.
    Strengths: Hard to grab hold off and very tough armour. Great manoeuvrability.
    Weaknesses: Poor pushing power.
    Ground Clearance: 10mm.
    Srimech: The robot is invertible.
    Notes: The robot is powered by 2 LEM 130s, giving 28mph top speeds. The wheels are made from aircraft grade Aluminium, with Hardox wheel hubs and thick rubber treads. All the electronics, batteries and wiring are hidden inside the wheels. The 1cm thick wheel hubs should mean that nothing can damage the innards of Sonic Boom. To save weight on the robot, the wheels are only 20cm high, but are also 20cm wide, increasing traction on the arena floor. The axe head is modelled on Stingers axe from series 4 of Robot Wars, but is a lot tougher due to the 50cm, 5mm Hardox axe pole and 5mm Hardox axe head. The axe is momentum powered, meaning that when the robot stops moving from a charge, the axe swings over head and hits what ever is in front of it. This method of weaponry is not accurate most of the time, but when it does hit, it can cause a lot of damage. The 10mm ground clearance all over the robot should stop it getting stuck on arena obstacles.

    Name: Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc
    Weight: 100kg
    Armour: 7mm Hardox ring spinner and 4mm Titanium flipper/wedge.
    Speed: 8mph
    Shape: It is a ring spinner with a front wedge.
    Weapon 1: The main body is a ring spinner made from 7mm Hardox, with Titanium teeth all over it. It is powered by a LEM130 motor at 48v geared down 3:1. This means the body can reach a top speed of 2400RPM. The disc weighs a total of 38kg.
    Weapon 2: A spinning kinetic powered flipper, based on Team Whyachi€™s €œWarrior SKF€. It uses the kinetic energy from the disc to power the flipper, meaning it can flip with a total of 298KJ of energy.
    Strengths: Unique and powerful weaponry. Good control.
    Weaknesses: Takes a long time to self right due to the disc needing to spin up successfully.
    Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and sides of flipper, 5mm at back due to ring spinner.
    Srimech: The flipper can successfully self right the robot.
    Notes: The robot is powered by 2 800w 36v DC motors giving 8mph top speeds. The wheels are made from Vulcalon, and have screws embedded in them to help gain traction on the arena floor. The ring spinner is powered by a LEM130 motor at 48v geared down 3:1. This means the body can reach a top speed of 2400RPM. There are 15 1€ cubed Titanium teeth all over the horizontal spinner, giving it 298KJ of energy on impact. The flipper works because there is an eccentric land on top of the spinning ring. The top link connected to the flipper plate has a groove in it, when fired the top link engages with the spinner land and pulls backward flipping the plate up. At the front of the flipper there is a 4mm Titanium €œnose€ with a sharpened edge designed to get under all skirts and ground clearances. All the electrics are kept within the 1m diameter of the ring spinner.

    Name: Wheely Pure Evil 2 (Thanks to Aaron for flipper rams and armour)
    Weight: 100kg
    Armour: 6mm Aluminium Boron Carbite (slightly heavier than Aluminium, but harder than Tungsten)
    Speed: 18mph
    Shape: Low invertible wedge
    Weapon 1: Top hinged flipper powered by a 80mm pneumatic ram, working at 1000psi fixed on top of the robot. At the bottom of the flipper there is a 5mm Grade 5 Titanium wedge extender, designed to get under any ground clearance.
    Weapon 2: Top hinged flipper powered by a 80mm pneumatic ram, working at 1000psi fixed on the underside of the robot.
    Strengths: Powerful weaponry and tough amrour.
    Weaknesses: Exposed wheels on top and limited CO2 on board.
    Ground Clearance: 1cm at the back, 0mm on sides due to side skirts and 0mm at front due to flipping plate.
    Srimech: Invertible.
    Notes: The robot is powered by 2 S28-400 MagMotors running at 24v, which give 18mph top speed. The flippers are made from 4mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, and powered by 80mm pneumatic rams working at 1000psi due to Nitrogen. Each flipper can flip roughly 2500kg each. However, due to the flipper set up, the robot can flip roughly 5000kg! The robot has hinged side skirts, to stop robot getting underneath. The skirts are made from 3mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, and are hinged so they run upside down. The flippers can be fired at the same time, or independantly. This robot works on the same basis as St Agro: a double flipper.

    Robot Name: Dennis The Menace
    Length/Width/Height: 100 x 40 x 25 - 35cm (The height of the robot increases as you move from the front to the back).
    Weight: 100KG
    Motivation: 2 foam filled go kart wheels made of uber-tough rubber.
    Speed: About 18mph
    Weapon: The main weapon is a 20kg spinning drum, powered by 2 Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motors. The weapon is capable of changing gears during a match. Originally, the drum spins at 2400RPM when geared down 10:1, but this can be increased to 2:1 at systematic intervals of 2 gearings (10:1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1 2:1). The 4mm Titanium drum is fitted with 2 horizontal Hardox bars, welded, screwed and riveted on to avoid them coming off. These are designed not only to flip, but to rip off skirts and armouring. The drum can hit with over 10kJ of force when spinning at 2400RPM, and increases to an astonishing 243kJ when spinning at 2:1 gearing (12000RPM).
    Drive: 24v Sinclair C5 motors.
    Power: 4 x 24v NiCad batteries.
    Armour: 5mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
    Ground Clearance: 4mm all around.
    Turning Circle: 0M
    Notes: The robot is invertible, and is completely symmetrical when flipped, meaning the performance isn€™t altered at all. The robot€™s shape is basically a box, but with the height increasing as you move from front to the back. The robot has 2 thick Hardox spikes on each side, which means it can pass the passive weaponry rule, and these also stop the robot resting on its side. To stop it resting on its back, the rear of the robot is slightly curved.
