Ill enter the clusterbot known as Back With You

Part 1
Name - Back to Rock III
Shape - See picture, itâ‚¬â„¢s a box with a scoop at the front and a rounded back. The front is higher than the back and has an â‚¬Å“arcâ‚¬Â like Behemoth had, all for more efficient self-righting.
Weight - 100 Kilogram
Speed - 18mph
Dimensions - 90x84x33 cm
Ground Clearance - 0 underneath the lifter and skirts, 5 mm everywhere else.
Power - 2x LEM130s at 48v
Movement - 6 wheels, about 12 cm diameter
Turning Circel - Zero
Weaponry - A big rear-hinged lifting arm, basically the red part of the picture. It is powered by a single LEM130 at 36 V, which a â‚¬Å“pinion and rackâ‚¬Â-mechanism. A pinion around the LEMâ‚¬â„¢s axle moves up a rack thatâ‚¬â„¢s joint to the lifter about halfway its length. The fancy part is that this runs through a gearbox, with 2 gears. One gear is for powerful and controlled lifting and moves up the arm in about 2-3 seconds, another gear is for quick self-righting and moves up the arm in 1 second.
The two plates at the bottom run almost parallel to the ground and are arranged in the way they are (split in the middle, see picture) for the secondary weapon to come into play, a Pussycat-style vertical diamond-edged sawblade, powered by a S28-150 Magmotor at 24 V spinning at 4000 rpm. The blade is part of the lifter and thereby damages the opponentâ‚¬â„¢s underbelly while lifting it. The sawblade slicing its way INTO (more or less) my opponent will enhance my grip on it and increase my control over my opponent, which is good.
On both sides of the bot is a 7 mm titanium skirt.
Armour - 5 mm titanium at the bottom, 7 mm titanium everywhere else
Srimech - The lifter self-rights the robot when needed
Strenghts - Nice weapon synergy, high traction, can really control an opponent

Part 2
Name - With you
Shape - Invertible box with sloped sides and a front-scoop
Weight - 50 Kilogram
Speed - 18 mph
Dimensions - 60x60x13 cm
Ground Clearance - 5 mm under the main body, 0 mm under the scoop
Power - 4 x Mag S28-400s at 24v
Movement - 4 wheels, sellotaped like Storm 2â‚¬â„¢s
Turning Circle - Zero
Weaponry - One damn hard front-scoop
Armour - 3mm Hardox top and sides, 4 mm titanium rear and bottom, 5 mm Hardox front-scoop
Srimech - Itâ‚¬â„¢s invertible

Ill enter Drive

Stats:
Drive (SHW)
WEIGHT: 145kgs
DIMENSIONS: 125 x 120 x 9 cm
SHAPE: A very low box, with the sides sloped inwards towards the front so its more of a trapezium shape, with wedged sides and rear. At the front is a 4mm Hardox wedge, which is hinged so it flops over when inverted.
COLOUR: The top half is grey, and the bottom half black.
DRIVE 8 (yes,

S28-400 Magmotors running from 12 NiMh packs at 36v, two motors driving each of four 100mm wheels with urethane rubber treads for grip. The wheels are situated at the back and middle of the robot, with castors at the front, which gives it much better maneuvrability.
SPEED: 12mph average, 20mph max
GROUND CLEARANCE: 5mm, except the front which is 0
ARMOUR: 3.25mm Hardox on the top and bottom, with the remainder (front, sides, rear) being a continuous 10mm Ti welded plate, which acts as part of the chassis as well.
WEAPONS: The front has two hardened S7 tool steel spikes at either side of the wedge, these spikes angle slightly downwards to dig into other wedges, and are very sharp. No active weaponry - this is a pure pusher.
SRIMECH: Invertible. The sloped sides prevent it resting there.
NOTES: Very heavily shockproofed, with the top armour, motors, batteries and electronics shock mounted to reduce impacts. Has a pair of very bright white LED headlights at the front, just below the spikes.
STRENGTHS: Good armour, very good pushing power and maneuvrability
WEAKNESSES: No active weaponry

Revolver is ready to fire.

Revolver (SHW)
SHAPE- box wi skirted sides and rear
COLOUR- painted like the infamous Yellow Submarine with portholes on the sides n that, with red hinged skirting and the cover for the album Revolver pasted on the top
WEIGHT- under 145kg, hopefully
DIMENSIONS- 110cm X 75cm X 28cm
SPEED- 18mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm all over without skirts, 0mm at sides n rear with em
ARMOUR- 6.75mm monocoque Hardox. Booyah.
MOVEMENT- 4 inner wheels and a little caster on top/bottom at the front for balance
POWER- 2 x C40-500 MagMotors, running at 36v (should give about 12hp, I think)
WEAPONS- The main weapon here is a large horizontal spinning disc at the front resembling an LP record. This is powered by an LEM-130 motor at 36v and runs at around 2500rpm. The flywheel bears two Hardox teeth (curved ala Pussycats), making it ideal for ripping into the other contestants. It could also charge at other competitors, get under them with the skirt and become a passive rammer should things start to get hairy.
SRIMECH- invertible
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag
STRENGTHS- powerful disc, fast, manoueverable, pushing power, invertible
WEAKNESSES- wheels exposed to overhead attacks, control could be an issue
