Ill enter Nitro-Gene 4.0 and Ill think about my second choice, but keep me reserved for that.

[team_britespark]

Actually, is it ok if i change my entries for this tourn? I would like to enter Weapon Synergy and Woodpecker if I may.

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.

Weight: 100kg (Each part weighs 20kg)
Armour: 3mm Titanium with 4mm Polycarbonate panelling.
Power: Each part is powered by 2 x S28-150 MagMotors running at 24v, giving each part 6HP of pushability.

Paul, the tournaments-

Ah, what the heck, you can come in as well as Dave. Liam, do you want a place while youre here?

I am actually amazed at the amount of people who seem to be taking this seriously...

[team_britespark]

Can we call this the teapot tourney?

It begins with a T, ends in a T and is full of T!

[joey_picus]

Yes, and I shall throw T at the next person to enter serious robots...

Shape: Tornado (S6)
Colour: Silver, with MINESWEEPER written on the sides.
Dimensions: 91cm x 86cm x 25cm

Locomotion: 4 Titanium/Vanadium alloy wheels with Vulkanized rubber tyres.
Armour: 6mm Hardox
Speed: 17mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and back due to scoops, and 0mm at sides with skirts (5mm at sides without skirts)
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon: 2 snowplow-like scoops, one at the front and one at the back. The scoops have a little bit of vertical mobility to give me 0mm ground clearance at the front and back without being stranded.
Srimech: invertible

Roveress
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Growler, with a pink bow on top of his head.
Colour: Brown, with black and white splotches in some areas.
Dimensions: 100cm x 70cm x 40cm

Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, 5mm at back, and 8mm at sides
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon: The bottom Jaw is shaped like a wedge, and fixed to where I have a 0mm ground clearance at the front. Once a robot is stuck on the wedge, which has Mute-style barbs on it, the top Jaw, powered by a 2kg 1000psi Nitrogen tank, comes down with 5 tonnes of force. The weapon is designed to clamp so I can pit them, not to damage them, although it can damage 5mm titanium.
Srimech: An electric lifting arm, powered by a Bosch drill motor. the sides of the robot are rounded to prevent stranding, and they can roll the robot back on its wheels.
