Oh yeah, forgot that bit.

Cyrilium armour is your best bet.

Here is my entry:

Name: Sun of Rippo
Shape: Wooden circular.
Dimensions: 20x20x20 x 1000mm
Weight: 500000 carats
Drive: 2x Jiang Minis motors. They are petrol powered motors weighing just 1kg each and can run for 10 minutes on just 1 millilitre of petrol. This produces around 200hp. The robot drives on two wheels made of indestructibulum, which are impervious to damage. They also provide ultimate traction using limpet technology.
Speed: 15.64 knots
Ground Clearance: 0.001 micrometers, but as this is invisible to the human eye, I€™ll just say it€™s 5mm.
Skirting: It wears a kilt in the McGregor tartan.
Armour: It uses a material known as Low Density Hardox, which is around as light as polycarbonate but has the tensile strength of pure iron. I have around 30mm thick all over. It is impossible to shatter or take chunks out of. It has a property known as heartofskadium, which allows the armour to be instantly regenerated once damaged. Behind this armour is 40mm of oxygen to withstand impacts.
Weapon: A spinning bar that is 20x2mm. It is powered by a black hole generator and spins at around 10,000,000rpm as it is geared 2:1. The black hole runs off 1x 9v battery, which has a self-charging system built in; basically meaning the weapon can never stop spinning. It€™s secondary weapon is a clusterbot consisting of Mass Destruction Ultimate and CrankShafted which both come out of the black hole in times of desperate need. They are shaped like /\/\/\/\/\ to cause more damage.
Self-righting mechanism: It has a linear actuator powered by a self-righting bar.
Strengths: It has no weaknesses, has a little red flashing light on top
Weaknesses: Paul won€™t be getting any weaknesses

Mark, a question

the 100 kg weight limits, do liquids and gases carried inside your robot count towards the weight of the robot?

[tacoman]

AJ, stop being so bloody good at parodying certain newcomers to the forum. It makes me laugh far too much.

An old friend wants to say hello.

Starfire

Shape: Rounded box.

Colour: Magenta

Weight: 100kg

Speed: 25mph

Armour: 26mm 7075 aircraft aluminium

Drive: An engine nicked from a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, 722 Edition. It makes 642 horsepower and 600 lb/ft of torque.

Power: Batteries transferred in from my magic power plant somewhere...

Motivation: 2WD

Ground Clearance: 5mm

Turning Circle: -5 metres.

Dimensions in CM: 110 x 80 x 45

Weaponry: A 5780 RPM vertical flywheel powered by Storm IIs success record. If it drops below 50%, the flywheel doesnt do anything. If its above 50%, then itll spin at maximum capacity. Its attached to an unobtainium arm that can spin 360 degree for reasons unknown.

Srimech: Flywheel.

Strengths: Excellent at taking the ssip (unscramble) out of Martyn Forsyth.

Weaknesses: You figure em out. :wink:

Martijn,

No. Hydraulic and pneumatic canisters dont count.

[corsair_lightning]

Actually, no fake alloys except unobtanium, which is allowed by the FRA.

First heat will be up in a few moments....
