    Welcome Liam I think a proper introduction of yourselfd be in place, how did you get to these forums ?

    Why are there so many newcomers nowadays ?

    What the heck, save me a place for this tournament!

    (btw, youll never get 32 people to enter, 8 would be a saver bet for your first tourney)

    Ill enter just the one, if thats alright. Itll give someone else a chance to enter their full 3...

    No Objections
    WEIGHT: 100kgs
    DIMENSIONS: 140 x 140 x 15 cm
    SHAPE: A low dome type shape
    COLOUR: Yellow, with a yellow and black striped lifter with red forks, and stylised black arrowheads on each side. The spinner rim is metal-coloured.
    DRIVE: 2 S28-400 Magmotors driving 2 wheels, with a fairly narrow wheelbase to increase rotation speed, running at 24v from 4 NiCd packs.
    SPEED: About 12mph average when driving normally, can get up to 40mph when spinning
    GROUND CLEARANCE: 7mm all around, except at the front where the forks make it 0. 1mm in places because of the blades.
    ARMOUR: 2mm titanium/vanadium alloy on top of 5mm UHMW polythene on the top of the robot, supported by a 4mm Hardox frame underneath with holes drilled to reduce weight. 3mm aluminium baseplate.
    WEAPONS: Complicated this...it has an electric lifting arm running off a 1 tonne linear actuator, pivoting from the rear of the robot with two front forks to get underneath opponents. The arm can lift 250kgs easily and extends fully (almost vertical) in about 1.5 seconds. Also, the robot has the capability to be a full body spinner (a spin-in-place one as opposed to a Ziggo or Gyrobot) with an outer 1.2cm Hardox ring with two blades/teeth, one on each side, made of hardened tool steel set close to the floor (1-2mm) and capable of delivering about 80kj of energy when hitting, calculated very roughly.
    SRIMECH: The lifter
    NOTES: Internal components shockproofed to protect it from its own and other peoples spinner hits.
    STRENGTHS: Versatile, can cause some damage, manoeuvrable
    WEAKNESSES: Large area to attack, top armour not as strong as it could be, cannot translate while spinning
