Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

[team_britespark]

Aint got any clusterbots... :sad:

But I will enter World Championships!

Name: Woodpecker
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 4mm Hardox.
Speed: 18mph - powered by 2 Sinclair C5 motors running at 24v.
Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, a rounded back and scooped front.
Weapon 1: A cam-driven axe mechanism, powered by a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor. (Interchangeable).
Weapon 2: A flipping arm, powered by a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor. (Interchangeable).
Strengths: Fastest axe mechanism currently around (hypothetically of course, this is only a vapour after all€¦ )
Weaknesses: The weapon itself is not very destructive, but mainly shows dominance in terms of number of this it can do.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front due to a sharpened Titanium front and side skirts, 4mm at rear.
Srimech: Invertible, but the axe mechanism has enough power in it to right it back onto its wheels.
Notes: The axe-head is based on Dominator 2€™s, and has small Titanium spikes on each end to aid in self righting. The axe-head is made of Titanium, with a 5mm Hardox tip. The flipper arm is made entirely out of 10mm Aluminium. The robot has 4 wheels get up in a skid steer system and runs off 2 Sinclair C5 motors @ 24v. Each side is connected to each other by a heavy duty rubber belt, and the wheels are made entirely out of Vulcalore. The weapon systems run off a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor geared down 15:1. The motor is connected to a cam wheel which in turn moves the weapon up and down on its pivot. When running at 60v, the weapon can move just under 5 times a second. The emphasis is not on power, but in dominance and aggression.

Name: Spawn of Squish
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 7mm Hardox
Speed: 20mph
Shape: Horizontal Crusher shaped (i.e. like TAN)
Weapon 1: A very powerful hydraulic crusher, with 14 tonnes of pressure at the tip.
Strengths: Very powerful crusher and strong armour. Ability to dominate matches.
Weaknesses: Flippers!
Ground Clearance: 1cm all around.
Srimech: Invertible.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 x LEM130 Lynch motors running at 36v, giving 20mph top speed and has 2 wheels made out of Titanium and Vanadium alloy with a thick coating of Vulcalon for extra grip. There are hundreds of small screws around the wheels, again for grip on the arena floor. The crushing arms are 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. For the weapon to function properly, the robot contains 4 x 12v NiCad batteries. The hydraulic ram is protected at the back by a 5mm Polycarbonate shield, which stops axes and crushers from directly damaging it (although a decent crusher will get through the Polycarb). The whole robot has hundreds of small weight reducing holes around it to get within the weight limit.

Woodpecker will represent Poland.
Spawn of Squish will represent Holland.

Liam just a few things, other than height, the dimensions are way too big, look at Franks entrant Doorstops for an indictaion of how big it should be. It is also slightly underpowered drive wise but this is just opinion and it would work on the power you have.

I dont see anything else wrong at that quick glance but if anyone else does can they please say.

[team_britespark]

Name: Weapon Synergy (5-WAY CLUSTERBOT!!! )
Weight: 100kg (Each part weighs 20kg)

The Alexandra Sisters

Is a TWO-WAY clusterbot!

Part 1:

Name: Cassandra Alexandra

Shape: Low pyramid without a top.

Colour: Blue

Speed: 15mph

Weight: 45kg

Armour: 8mm HDPE, the stuff that doesnt break

Drive: 2 LEM130s @ 36v

Power: 6 NiCad Battlepacks @ 36v

Motivation: 4 CNC hubs with urethane rubber for grip.

Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front, 5mm round the sides and 10mm at the back.

Turning Circle: Zilch.

DImensions in CM (LxWxH): 60 x 50 x 20

Weaponry: A flipping arm hinged at the back of the top (will be explained easier in upcoming CAD). Its made out of titanium and is powered by a single 2kg CO2 tank at 750psi. This should theoretically give Cass enough to toss 250kg onto its back and send something of her own weight flying a long way across the arena. The arm is 20cm wide, for reference.

Srimech: Invertible.

Strengths: Fast, powerful, manoeuvrable, good weapon, hard to get under the front.

Notes: Is the slightly smaller of the two.


Part 2:

Name: Sophitia Alexandra

Shape: Scoop at the front, with long wedge at rear.

Colour: White

Speed: 12mph

Weight: 55kg

Armour: 7mm titanium

Drive: 2 S28-400 MagMotors @ 24v

Power: 4 NiCad Battlepacks

Motivation: 4 CNC hubs with urethane rubber for grip.

Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and rear, 6mm for the sides

Turning Circle: Zip

Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 70 x 55 x 30

Weaponry: Like Cass, Soph has a flipping arm as well, but more powerful, and hinged midway down the rear wedge. Powered by 2 2kg CO2 tanks and 900psi, it can send a 400kg over onto its back, and a bot of equal size VERY far across the arena. The arm is 25cm wide and made of titanium as well.

Srimech: Flipper.

Strengths: Powerful, manoeuvrable, extremely powerful weapon for 55kg.

Notes: Is the slightly bigger of the two.



CAD up soon, I hope. If theres something wrong, let me know and I will change it double quick.

My world championship entrants are:

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.

Representing: In Soviet Russia, you has May Tracks!

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.

Representing: Japan. Duh

[team_britespark]

Change the psi on mine to 500psi so it actually can be built.

Okay clusterbots is now full, however if more people still want to enter i will consider letting them.

I want to enter my robot Sir Spinalot by whatever spot available.
