I want to enter my new bot:

Triplicate Bot

3 part clusterbot
All parts are the same.
Shape: Cube
Speed: 30mph
Dimensions: 5cm high by 20cm long by 20cm wide
Colour: Silver
Ground Clearence: 0.1mm ground clearence
Turning Circle: 0
Weapon: 1 Powerful axe on each side of each clusterbot making 12 axes in total.
Armour: 6mm titanium
Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 3x NiCad packs
Srimech: the axes, and a steel bar connected to a Mag Snapper on top of each clusterbot

Notes: One of my first bots. A very tough, yet fast, 3-part, and deadly clusterbot.

Also have it in the World Champs representing the USA.

Theres no way youll fit two Magmotors, three nicad packs and four axe mechanisms in a 20cmx20cmx5cm cube.

Just for the record, I have a little 3kg sumobot that I entered in the UK Robotic Games sumo which was 20cmx20cmx20cm roughly and I struggled to fit in two cordless drill motors and two small drill nicad packs into that size. Need to revise your dimensions mate

[kodster]

Ah, flaming to do, how lovely...

3 part clusterbot

Okay.

All parts are the same.

Okay.

Shape: Cube

A cube is a shape that has its dimensions equal to each other. Your dimensions dont quite work out, so you might wanna change this.

Speed: 30mph
Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 3x NiCad packs

Impossible. You will never get that speed out of a 33.3kg (thats what Im assuming their weight is since you DIDNT SPECIFY ANY WEIGHT AT ALL) bot, and especially not with 2 S28s. Keep the Mags, add another NiCad Battlepack, and drop the speed to about 12 or 15 or something around there. Should be decent.

Dimensions: 5cm high by 20cm long by 20cm wide

Oh...god. Those dimensions are so unrealistic I cant believe you actually thought they were legit. First of all, S28-400 MagMotors are 7.5cm in diameter, which defeats your current height, so Id recommend a height of something over 10cm. As for length and width, Id drastically enlarge them. 55 and 55 each would do it.

Colour: Silver

Okay.

Ground Clearence: 0.1mm ground clearence

You will have the hardest time moving around. Even 2mm is pushing it. Go for 5mm or over.

Turning Circle: 0

Okay.

Weapon: 1 Powerful axe on each side of each clusterbot making 12 axes in total.

So many things wrong there. 4 axes on each bot will most certainly put them overweight. Go for one axe each. Whats powering the axes? Whats the axe head made of?

Armour: 6mm titanium

A bit too much. Go for 3 or 4mm.

Srimech: the axes, and a steel bar connected to a Mag Snapper on top of each clusterbot

You dont need the steel bar if you have an axe on top.

I would REALLY revise those stats, Mark.

Updates:

Dimensions: 10cm high, 55cm long, and 55cm wide.
Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 4x NiCad Battlepacks.
Armour: 4mm Titanium.
Ground Clearence: 5mm
Weapon: 1 Hammer on top of each bot. The hammer has spikes on it to prevent each part from turning over on its side.
Srimech: Hammer.
Weight: 100kg. Each part weighs 33.infinite 3kgs

Now is it accurate?

Not really, what is powering the hammers for instance?

[corsair_lightning]

A Mag Snapper.

[leorcc]

Ok, you have dumbfounded me, what is a Mag Snapper?

[corsair_lightning]

A Mag Snapper is an ordinary burst motor with Magmotor decals on it. It also has a built in pneumatic system to create more power. Plus the pneumatics cause the Mag Snapper to be ultra quiet.
