Thread: The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008

    Easter again...Its a good excuse to have a smashing twenty-four robot tourney!
    Welcome to the Easter Bunny Tribute Championships here in the RW arena, as seen in RW7.The rules are the usual kind:
    Weight- 100 kg wheels
    110 kg shuffle/tracks
    150 kg walkers
    The tournament structure is also pretty simple.If you have seen the newblood tournament in RW extreme 2 theres no need to read the description, as its the same:
    4 heats, each has 2 x 3 robot melees with 2 robots advancing to round 2, where there 2 x one-on-one battles.The winners go head-to-head in the heat final, and the four winners will come back for the grand final, where there will be two one-on-one matches with a play-off for third place and the final itself.
    I need 6 people each to enter 4 robots.
    You can have 2 vapoura and 2 realies, or 3 of one and 1 of the other, but you cant have ALL vapours or All realies.
    Enter for the chance to win that elusive EASTER BUNNY TRIBUTE trophy!

    not a bad way to kick off a tournament Liam, not bad at all

    you might wanna structure the text a bit more, use fat letters, open spaces and the likes to make stuff a tad more readable, but the way you did it now does work for me

    one question, what shall the arena be like?

    Ill enter...

    4 - Its The Last Thing On My Mind

    Name - Its the last thing on my mind
    Weight - 100 Kg, aint gone though it with a fine tooth comb because I couldnt be bothered.
    Shape - Invertible Box, with rear wedge, plus side bumps
    Ground Clearance - Rear end it is zero due to wedge, side skirts can be added to reduce the sides down to zero if need-be, and at the front it is a modest 10mm
    Speed - 18 mph, enough to dodge and dive if my primary weapon stalls.
    Movement type - 4 Wheel drives the machine, with 2 S28-400 Magmotors at 24 volts providing the power.
    Armour - 4mm Hardox.
    Weaponry - Rear wedge and front X-axis €œI€ bar spinner, powered by another S28-400 Magmotor, designed to flip and damage at the same time.
    Srimech - Runs up-side down, the front weapon is reversible but the rear wedge is stuck.

    TEAM BRAVEHEART
    1. Wedge Devolution
    2. Whirligig 4.5
    3. E Clawdius Unum
    4. Robochicken (RW7)

    1. Wedge Devolution
    SHAPE- low wedge with sloped rear
    COLOUR- sleek and shiny silver
    WEIGHT- about 100kg
    DIMENSIONS- 90cm X 75cm X 30cm
    SPEED- 16mph
    TURNING CIRCLE- 0
    GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front, 7mm for the rest of the robot. Fitted with Biohazard-style skirts on sides and rear, giving 0mm
    ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
    WHEELS- inside robot, 4-wheel drive
    POWER- 2 X LEM-130s; 2 x 12v 3amp NiCad packs, giving 36v @ 12amp
    WEAPONS- As usual, the main weapon is a rear-hinged flipper. This is very similar to Chaos 2, except the blade at the bottom is bent ala Bigger Brother, allowing the flipper to have greater effect against bots with skirts or low centres of gravity. The flipper itself is powered by 2 X 80mm high pressure pneumatic rams, each running at 250psi. This should allow Wedge Devo to comfortably flip up to 1 tonne.
    SRIMECH- The flipper can right the machine easily and the rear wedge should hopefully prevent a Chaos-style self-flip. Also, Wedge Devo is equipped with a grey semi-sphere on either side of robot to prevent it getting stuck on its side
    NOTES- flashing red light on top of robot, flies Scotland flag
    STRENGTHS- powerful flipper, fast, manoeuvrable, difficult to get underneath, tough armour, good traction
    WEAKNESSES- could prove a bit tricky to control, limited CO2 (like all other flippers :P)

    2. Whirligig 4.5 (sort of formerly Whirligig 4.0)
    SHAPE- flat disc
    COLOUR- gold with Mauler-style scary face on top. The face shows the direction of the robot.
    WEIGHT- about 100kg (see bottom)
    DIMENSIONS- 101.6cm diameter X 12.7cm
    SPEED- 15mph
    TURNING CIRCLE- 0
    GROUND CLEARANCE- 8mm
    ARMOUR- 1.905 cm thick Grade 5 titanium
    FEET- inside robot, uses 4 DrillZilla-style shuffling plates. These help prevent the bot being flung halfway across the ring on contact with another bot, ala Typhoon
    POWER- 2 X S28-400s running on 36v. Uses 120 X NiCad cells at 36v, producing 12amps at 36v overall for drive and weapon power
    WEAPONS- The main weapon on Whirligig is the spinning outer ring, fitted with 9 x Pussycat-style claws. The spinner is powered by an LEM-130 running at 36v. It can reach speeds of 1000rpm and produce up to 100kJ...more than enough to kill another bot at full speed.
    As well as this, the power in the shuffling feet mean that Whirly can act as a pretty powerful pusher if the shell fails to work
    SRIMECH- the robot is invertible and the blades prevent Whirly landing on his side
    NOTES- flies Scotland flag, thanks to AJ, my first properly calculated machine
    STRENGTHS- fast, manoeuvrable, very deadly weaponry, tough armour, scary face shows its direction, very good traction, cant be flung away on impact as easily as Typhoon
    WEAKNESSES- so-so manoeuvrability, feet may prove vulnerable to crushers and axes

    WEIGHT CHECK:
    armour = 33.72kg (inc blades)
    chassis, mounts, bracing etc = about 30kg
    drive and weapon motors = 12kg overall
    NiCads = about 15kg
    feet = about 10kg overall

    TOTAL WEIGHT = 100.72kg. Fits right into the roller limit, with the 1% error margin rule. Probably.

    3. E Clawdius Unum (formerly Clawdius Decimus Murderous)
    SHAPE- skirted wedge with small box section and rounded back
    COLOUR- deep green with red shield emblazoned on the wedge, depicting a gold lion with a crown
    WEIGHT- about 100kg
    DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 70cm X 40cm
    SPEED- 14mph
    TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
    GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 0mm at sides and rear thanks to skirts (arranged in a Biohazard fashion, corner-to-corner), 10mm without
    ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
    WHEELS- inside robot, 4-wheel drive
    POWER- 2 X S28-400 MagMotors
    WEAPONS- The main weapon, as ever, is the hydraulic diamond-tipped crushing claw. It is powered by a Vivoil pump with an 80mm x 40mm ram, with a 2kg tank for storing the hydraulics. The claw runs at 3000psi and, aided by the diamond tip, should be able to leave plenty of holes in another robot.
    The front wedge also features a Firestorm-style blade and two flat spears to aid in getting under the opposition. The wedge itself is now home to several Mute-style barbs to help ensnare other robots.
    SRIMECH- A forward-hinged pneumatic arm on either side, powered by a pair of linear actuators. The rounded rear also prevents the robot getting beached.
    NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, thanks to AJ, et tu, Brute? written on the underbelly
    STRENGTHS- Quite nippy, good traction, powerful weapon, difficult to get underneath, fairly quick srimech
    WEAKNESSES- so-so manoeuvrability
