Yeah, I just feel like posting very technical reasons as to why things wont work

I am trying to ignore him, its just very difficult...

Oh really Liam? Ill be the judge and jury of that . If AJ can just write down the names to his entries, then I can complete the draw and get this going. Given you tend to place your stats on your forum, I should be fine.

[joey_picus]

I second that

And were just waiting for Andy now...-2>Im trying not to say anything about Christmas 2077, but its hard...

[paulc]

Do you wish to take the last spot Dave? Just send in a list of names and youll be in.

You could always have 4 wheel drive in which the wheels where all at 90 degrees to each other, but then of course it would be horrible to steer normally...

Stats to accomodate the CAD...

Wedginator Devilution

Shape: Wedge, sloped sides and rear. The rear is awkwardly sloped so that Wedginator always falls on its flipper when inverted. The wedge has slots in it for air intake and aerodynamics which help it move faster, and also they cool the motors down when moving.

Colour: Alligator texture, with an evil face on the wedge and slightly overlapping the side panels.

Speed: 16mph average, 35mph maximum. Can be locked at 15mph if needs be.

Weight: 100kg

Armour: 4mm Hardox with a 6mm polycarbonate baseplate. The skirts are 5mm titanium and the front barbs are 5mm Hardox.

Drive: 2 LEM130 Lynch Motors @ 48v

Power: 6 3600mAh NiCad Battlepacks @ 48v

Motivation: 6WD, 15cm diameter aluminium hubs with urethane tire rubber for grip. The thing is that these wheels are cambered 60 degrees like Tazbot, so although its 6WD, it gives Wedginator a great ability to manoeuvre.

Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front, 0mm at the side with skirts and 6mm without, and 10mm at the rear.

Turning Circle: 0

Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 115 x 90 x 30

Weaponry: A front-hinged flipper in a l l l shape on the front wedge, the bars are 5cm wide and are made of 1cm titanium. It is powered by 2 2kg CO2 tanks at 900psi and a 80mm stroke on the middle part. This should give Wedginator enough power to flip at least 1000kg away and still have enough after that first flip for about 29-34 more flips. Also there are barbs at the front to hold an opponent on the wedge quite securely.

Srimech: The flipper. It rights Wedginator, not by simply tilting him, but swinging him into the air so he lands cat-like on his wheels.

Strengths: Fast, very powerful, very manoeuvrable, powerful flipper, weapons synergy should work a lot.

Notes: 7th incarnation, very demonic.
