Thread: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4

  1. #1
    Kody is back on FRA, yes he is, and my, has FRA ever changed...for the good, in my opinion. Though if Joey McConnell's posty problem isn't fixed soon, hell will break loose. No, Joey isn't speaking through me. :P

    And what better way to kick off my return with the return of another major?

    All right. Since The Crash & Burn Tournament 3 went to pants, this will pick up the scraps left by it. I need 16 people to enter:

    - 4 heavyweights

    I'd also like 8 people to enter

    - 1 of each of the otherweights (antweight, featherweight, lightweight, middleweight, and superheavyweight)

    You can enter realies, but for the main heavyweight competition I'd prefer vapourbots. There are exceptions of course for people who have less than 4 heavyweights vapourbots.

    Entry rules
    - No flying or hovercraft robots :P
    - Clusterbots are allowed, but they must be at most 4 bots weighing up to 100kg together. (weight limits apply for clusterbots too, but only if ALL the bots in the cluster have the same type of motivation)
    - You can only have a maximum of 3 active weapons going at the same time
    - Interchangeable robots are also allowed, but you may only use 5 attachments for the entire tournament if you have more than 5 attachments
    - Maximum PSI allowed for nitrogen pneumatics is 2400PSI. (CO2 is automatically 900PSI since that is the max it can go to) Maximum PSI for hydraulic systems is 5000PSI

    Weight limits for the robots:

    Heavyweights
    - 100kg for wheeled machines
    - 110kg for bots with treads (El Diablo Grande) and tracks (101)
    - 150kg for shufflers (Son of Whyachi)
    - 200kg for walkers (Clawed Hopper)

    Otherweights
    - Wheeled antweights get a max weight of 150g
    - Wheeled featherweights get a max of 13.6kg
    - lightweights = 27kg
    - middleweights = 54kg
    - superheavyweights = 155kg

    - Each weight class gets a 10% bonus for using treads/tracks for movement, 50% if they're a shuffler, and 100% if they're a walker

    The tournament will have 16 heats of 4 heavyweight robots. Round 1 will have 2 1v1 matches, and the winners of those go on to the Heat Final. The winner of that goes to the Series Semi-Final. The two Semi-Finals see 16 bots fight it out in more 1v1 matches until 4 remain, which go to the Grand Final. The losers of those 1v1 matches fight for 3rd place while the winners fight it out for the trophy.

    The otherweight fights will be done inbetween the second 1st-round fight and the heat final, and inbetween some Semi-Final fights. The otherweight finals will take place before the Heavyweight Final Battle. The 1st-round battles are 2 4-way fights, from which 2 bots go through. Then it's 1v1 until we have a winner. The otherweights get no 3rd-place playoff; the robot that loses in Round 2 to the eventual winner of the specified otherweight stage becomes the 3rd seed automatically.

    I have reserved spots for a few people:

    Joey McConnell
    Andrew Jackson
    Steven McGregor
    Martijn Benschop
    Tracy Farber
    Paul Cuomo
    Samuel Park

    House robots remain unchanged, but the Battlegrounds 2.0 arena will be used. You can read all about it here: http://teamzlayerz.proboards.com/index. ... 119&page=1

    And I think that's about it. I'll accept more reservations, but they'll only be held for a week, and then that place becomes open again.

    And a final note: this is not getting hypo'd. I've set up a format for myself that I'm positive I can get through comfortably and on my own time.

    Now, please ignore the fact that a hypo'd tournament won Best Major Tournament of 2008 and get entering. XD

    Team Welsh Warlords

    Antweight ~ don't have a vapour, so I'm entering the realie Anty B, the mini version of Behemoth. Do tell if info is required Kody

    Featherweight
    Robot Name: Small System Shock
    Shape: Tracked box with a Tornado style wedge on the front and skirts at the sides and rear
    Weight: 14.96kg (10% weight advantage for tracks)
    Length: 25cm
    Width: 40cm
    Height: 8cm
    Motivation: 2 x titanium tracks coated with vulkalon, one on either side of the robot, protected from the sides but exposed from the top and bottom so it can run inverted.
    Drive: 2 x Astroflight 940 cobalt magmotors run @ 24v from 2 x custom-built 2.4mAh NiCad packs
    Armour: 3.2mm hardox monocoque
    Weaponry: The robot is a very powerful, but controlled pusher and has the wedge on the front to get under other robots to push them around.
    Speed: 15mph
    Turning Circle: 0
    Ground Clearance: 0 at front and effectively 0 all round due to 5mm skirts made of grade 2 titanium, but there is 10mm clearance behind the skirts.
    Srimech: The robot runs inverted
    Colour: Light blue with the name written in yellow on top
    Strengths: Very well armoured and strong
    Weaknesses: No active weaponry
    Notes: The original System Shock was a pretty successful rammer, coming second in the 128-robot Crash and Burn: Dual Duels with its team-mate Firefly. However it was very basic, and so was upgraded pretty quickly, but here it is reincarnated in featherweight form.

    Lightweight

    Robot Name: Sergeant Slaughter
    Shape: Wedge, with sloped sides and rear. The front wedge is angled at 30* while the sides and rear are angled at 42* to deflect spinners.
    Weight: 27.5kg
    Length: 55cm
    Width: 35cm
    Height: 30cm (with weapon)
    Motivation: 2 x rear internal HDPE wheels with vulcanised tyres
    Drive: 2 x Dewalt Powerdrives run @ 24v from 2 x 12v A123 batteries in series
    Armour: 3.2mm hardox front wedge, 6mm polycarbonate sides and 5mm aluminium rear and 3mm aluminium base.
    Weapon: A Razer-style crusher made of titanium with a tungsten tipped point, powered by the very same brand of linear actuators used by Suicidal Tendencies in their heavyweight machine, providing over 1000kg of crushing force. It is drilled with 100 holes to keep the robot in weight.
    Speed: 10mph
    Turning Circle: 0
    Ground Clearance: 0 at front, 6mm at sides and 10mm at rear
    Srimech: Steel cables connect the crusher to Razer-style side arms so when the crusher is raised the arms go out and right it.
    Colour: Gold, with silver outlines and an army cap on top of the crusher
    Strengths: Powerful weaponry
    Weaknesses: Weak armour on base.
    Notes: This was originally an elongated pyramid shape heavyweight that never got around to fighting, so it has now been miniaturised to featherweight size.

    Middleweight
    Robot Name: Gamma-Rex
    Shape: Barrel shape like Storm-Force
    Weight: 55kg
    Length: 65cm
    Width: 45cm
    Height: 25cm
    Motivation: 4 x internal HDPE wheels with vulcanised tyres, 85mm diameter
    Drive: 2 x Bosch 750w motors run @ 28.8v from 2 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks
    Armour: 4mm titanium/vanadium alloy covered by 4mm lexan and Lexiguard compound and 10mm HDPE with an extra coating of 6mm polypropylene.
    Weaponry: T-Minus-style flipper hinged at the back of the top panel, powered by dual 100m non-attached rams @ 1000psi (can be cranked up to 2400psi if the tournament allows it) from a 2kg nitrogen tank giving it about 8-12 flips per round.
    Speed: 15mph
    Turning Circle: 0
    Ground Clearance: 0 at front, 7mm at sides and rear
    Colour: Gold with silver outlines
    Srimech: The robot can self-right with the flipper, but it is the same shape as Storm-Force, which virtually never lands on its back so the flipper will not be used as a srimech most times, instead the robot will allowed to roll.
    Strengths: Very powerful flipper
    Weaknesses: Limited gas

    Heavyweight 1
    Robot Name: Maximum Genocide
    Shape: Triangle, ala Y-Pout
    Weight: 100kg
    Length: 80cm
    Width: 80cm
    Height: 12cm
    Motivation: 3 x internal hardox wheels, one in each point, 125mm in diameter.
    Drive: 3 x S24-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 3 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks to make a Y-Drive, one powering each wheel
    Armour: 4mm hardox monocoque plus internal shockproofing
    Weaponry: At each point of the triangle there are curved tungsten carbide claws that catch onto other robots when the robot spins with the Y-drive, but this is only part of the weapon. On top of the robot there is a horizontal Tornado-Mer style spinning blade, powered another 3 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 3 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks to reach top speeds of 2500rpm in 2 seconds, as the blade weighs 25kg. It spins in the opposite direction to the robot, and is 90cm long so it reaches out 5cm each point, exactly the same as the claws so that there is a huge amount of damage caused.
    Speed: 15mph
    Turning Circle: It€™s a Y-Drive
    Ground Clearance: 10mm
    Srimech: Gyroscopic forces ala Tornado Mer will act on the blade, flipping it back over
    Colour: Black with yellow stripes, the claws are red to look like blood, as is the blade.
    Strengths: Powerful weaponry
    Weaknesses: Can€™t push anything
    Notes: My first attempt at a Y-Drive and now Genocide/Forza has left its roots as a full body spinner to become a more original machine with dual spinning weapons.

    Heavyweight 2
    Robot Name: LockJaw v3
    Shape: Triangles at either side where the wheels would normally be, then on the right of the left triangle and on the left of the right triangle imagine a vertical claw. Then add a scoop in between the claws and put a third claw in the middle of the scoop, built into the scoop so it is invisible until it opens wider or closes.
    Weight: 100kg
    Length: 55cm
    Width: 90cm
    Height: 20cm (with claws shut) / 45cm (with claws fully open)
    Motivation: The triangles at either end of the robot are wheel pods, as in each one is a 6mm hardox wheel with a vulcanised tyre. The wheels are both 220mm in diameter and mostly protected, but exposed from the three sides of the triangle. This allows it to run anyway up, but without having to put the drive in reverse.
    Drive: 2 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 2 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks
    Armour: As it€™s an axlebot there isn€™t much armour, but the wheel pods are made of 6mm hardox, and the 1cm scoop is made of grade 2 titanium.
    Weaponry: The two outer claws are fast, but not powerful. They are each powered by an over-volted Litton motor @ 36v for fast grabbing. They merely hold the opponent in place while the middle claw comes into play, powered by hydraulics from a vivoil pump actuated by an S28-400 magmotor @ 24v running at 3000psi (5000psi if the tournament permits it). This claw can crunch through thin hardox and itself is made of tungsten carbide with serrated edges like the other two. The claws can open wider if the opponent is too high for them to grab. When they do this they dig their bottom prong into the ground ala Big Nipper, meaning they can get under 0 ground clearance, but nothing will get under them. This will not only be used against tall robots, but flippers or other wedges.
    Speed: 15mph
    Turning Circle: 0
    Ground Clearance: 0 at front, less than zero if the claws open fully. It€™s an axlebot though so doesn€™t really have much of a ground clearance.
    Srimech: The robots runs exactly the same when flipped upside down, I don€™t even have to put the drive in reverse due to the triangular wheel pods giving it three drive positions.
    Colour: Unpainted
    Strengths: Unique, flipping it does nothing
    Weaknesses: Tricky to control
    Notes: The original LockJaw was Stinger with a claw between the wheels, and failed miserably in its only fight. LockJaw Epidemic introduced two separate claws, but they were electric and not powerful enough. Version 3 provides the best of both worlds.

    Heavyweight 3
    Robot Name: Elizabeth
    Shape: Cylinder like Barberous, but with a plough on the front. The plough has a slit down halfway down the middle to allow the other weapon through.
    Weight: 100kg
    Length: 60cm (without blade, 150cm with blade)
    Width: 95cm
    Height: 25cm
    Motivation: 2 x 7mm hardox wheels either side of the main body, each is 26cm in diameter and they are protected by armour.
    Drive: 2 x PERM PMG 080 motors run @ 36v from 6 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks
    Armour: All the outer armour is one piece of 5mm hardox, this includes the front plough, which is then connected to the triangular wheel guards at either side of the robot. The cylinder itself is 4mm titanium/vanadium alloy, but that is very hard to reach given the surrounding armour.
    Weaponry: The robot can use all 18HP of push in the drive and the plough on the front to ram other robots around, but housed inside the drum-shaped body is a T6 aluminium vertical disc, which is not a weapon itself, but powered by a Briggs & Stratton E-Tek at 60v. The disc is not visible, the important part is connected to the disc is a huge Overkill-style blade, 90cm long and made of tungsten carbide with a serrated edge for extra damage. It can produce 3Kj per hit and potentially hit up to 3 times per second meaning it racks up 9Kj of energy in a second and if it can pin an opponent against the wall with the plough it could potentially hit opponents for large amounts of time and cause huge damage even to hardox-protected machines. Also either side of the end of the blade are two tungsten spikes part of the blade itself so they can€™t get ripped off. These allow it to spin on the spot and act as a thwackbot, producing a few Kj of energy even then.
    Speed: 25mph
    Turning Circle: 0
    Ground Clearance: 0 at front due to plough, 1cm elsewhere
    Srimech: The blade does that
    Colour: Black with blood stains
    Strengths: Powerful weaponry, tough outer armour
    Weaknesses: Weak body armour, too fast to properly control
    Notes: It no longer has an axe, and the stupid weapon synergy from Bloody Mary has been ditched to give the machine better attack.

    Heavyweight 4
    Robot Name: Apocalypse II
    Weight: Roughly 100kg
    Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, ala Storm II. The front wedge is angled at 30* to get under opponents, and the sides are sloped at 42* to deflect spinners. The rear is rounded for easier self-righting.
    Length: 80cm
    Width: 60cm
    Height: 15cm
    Motivation: 2 x internal HDPE wheels, each are 125mm in diameter and they have vulcanised tyres for extra grip, plus they are mounted like Tazbot€™s for more manouevrability. They are in the front of the robot so that the front turns rather than the rear, ala Merlin.
    Drive: 2 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 2 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks; this should provide about 9 horsepower.
    Armour: 3.2mm hardox monocoque for the most part, strengthened in certain key areas with extra 5mm titanium/vanadium alloy sheeting.
    Weaponry: The robot is a decent pusher, but on top there are three sets of Mute-style barbs, one on each side and one running down the flipper arm. These are tungsten tipped to allow it to trap robots on top, and once their stuck on top they can€™t get free.
    The second weapon is what I use to get rid of the robot stuck on the barbs. It is a Bio-Hazard style 4-bar flipping arm, but unlike Bio-Hazard it is run off full pressure pneumatics, meaning it will easily throw robots out of the arena. It is 30cm wide and runs down the centre of the robot, made of 4mm hardox and powered by a 120mm x 100mm bore stroke ram @ 750psi from a 1.5kg gas bottle, giving it about 10 flips per round, which should be enough. On the front of the flipper arm there is a strip of 8mm grade 2 titanium, which should aid in getting under the other robots
    Speed: 15mph
    Ground Clearance: 0 at front, 8mm at sides and rear, but this is protected by 5mm titanium torsion-sprung skirts made of grade 2 titanium.
    Turning Circle: Using the skid steer system ala Razer gives Apocalypse II a 0 turning circle
    Srimech: The 4-bar flipper can right it in less than a second, but to conserve gas there is an electric srimech hinged at the rear of the robot. This is the two strips of barbs on either side of the machine lifting up to vertical via a Bosch 750w motor run @ 28.8v from a NiCad battlepack. This rights the robot in 1 second, and can also be used offensively to tip opponents stuck on the barbs into the pit
    Colour: This new Apocalypse keeps the colour scheme of the old one, with dark blue bodywork and a red weapon.
    Strengths: Powerful weaponry, unique strategy
    Weaknesses: Limited gas for the flipper
    Notes: This new Apocalypse trades the powerful drive motors of the old one for more armour, as well as bringing in a new 4-bar system and a new srimech idea, albeit with less gas for the flipper. This shouldn€™t effect it too much though as the lifter can still be used to dump opponents in the pit or stack them against a wall. The previous robot enjoyed some success, and hopefully this new, more original version will build on that.
    Last time the emphasis was more on the flipper, but this time around the focus is more on the barbs, which were under-used last time and so this time around the design is focused around the barbs instead of around the flipper.

    Superheavyweight
    Robot Name: Omega-Rex
    Shape: Box with a steep wedge at the front
    Weight: 155kg
    Length: 90cm
    Width: 90cm
    Height: 25cm
    Motivation: 6 x internal HDPE wheels with vulcanised wheels, 125mm in diameter
    Drive: 2 x Briggs & Stratton E-Teks run @ 60v from 12 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks
    Armour: 6mm hardox monocoque
    Weaponry: A huge Matador-style 12mm grade 5 titanium flipper, hinged at the back of the robot and powered by dual non-attached rams @ 1000psi (can be cranked up to 2400psi if the tournament allows it) from 2 x 4kg nitrogen tanks to give 35-40 flips!
    Speed: 20mph
    Turning Circle: 0
    Ground Clearance: 0 at front, 10mm at sides and rear
    Colour: Gold with silver outlines
    Srimech: The flipper stylishly self-rights the robot in a high flip
    Strengths: Powerful flipper
    Weaknesses: High ground clearance at sides

    Mkay, Liam...

    Anty B - I'm sure I can find some stats for it, Liam.

    Small System Shock - Okay

    Sergeant Slaughter - I just went over this one with Joey because it looked iffy, and he's said...

    Joey: ...could you please tell Liam that Suicidal Tendencies DID NOT USE LINEAR ACTUATORS IN THEIR CRUSHER...and tell him that Suicidal Tendencies' series 5 weapons system (36v Bosch with 27,000:1 bevel gearbox) weighed around 58kgs...mentioning I said all this of course :P

    Otherwise it's fine, lol

    Maxus - The weapons system takes up half the weight alone, and the rest almost fits the weight limit itself. ...you didn't base this off of Tom Armitage's MW Maxus did you? I notice the voltages are the same as it...patch it up please, lol

    Maximum Genocide - Dimensions are not correct: a triangle's length is not the same as it's height (which is width in this case). Also, the srimech will likely not work and the batteries will not provide sufficient power for your bot's needs.

    LockJaw v3 - Again, not enough batteries, especially for the hydraulic pump. Hydraulics feed hungrily on batteries.

    Elizabeth - Kinda pushing it, but it seems okay.

    Apocalypse II - Okay

    Omega-Rex - Much too small. There are heavyweights bigger than that.

    That's all.

    Reserve

    Might cook up some new things.

  5. #5
    Done, Aaron.

  6. #6
    The king has returned.

    Thanks for saving me a spot, Kody. I'll be leaving tomorrow for a weekend break and probably won't be back till late Monday. I'll try and get my entries to you around Tuesday or so.

  7. #7
    Hey, Kody! Long time no see.

    I want to enter, plz.
    Here's my squad for the heavies.

    Next Stop, Jupiter (Replacing Thanatos)

    Weight: 100kg
    Shape: Warrior SKF, with a wedge extension on the front.
    Colour: Colours of the planet Jupiter, duh.
    Dimensions: 100 X 81 X 21 cm
    Power: 2 X Bosch 750's @ 36v, powered by several NiCad Batteries, shock-proofed with polyurethane rubber.
    Wheels: 2 X Aluminium Wheels with Urethane Rubber for superb grip
    Armour: 3.5mm Hardox for the wedge, 7mm Ti/V for top and bottom, 5mm hardox for the rim
    Speed: Roughly 13 mph
    Ground Clearence: Obviously 0mm for the front, and 6mm for anywhere else
    Turning Circle: Zero... how many times do I have to tell you guys?!
    Weapon: A nasty 27kg spinning rim powered by an LEM-130 Lynch, and spinning at 2000RPM. It should reach this speed in about two seconds. It has 8 X hardox teeth on board. (Four on top, Four on Bottom) The rim can deliver some VERY nasty damage to another opponent. It can slice through titanium, and dent hardox without any problems. The motor mounts are shock-proofed with urethane rubber to avoid damage to itself during its attacks. (Of course shock-proofing the whole thing is out of the question :P) The rim can also transfer its energy to the front kinetic flipper, thanks to a clutch. This flipper has a wedge extension which is nearly impossible to get under. The flipper can also throw robots with HUGE force. Can you say, OOTA?!
    Srimech: Yes, it can run inverted... BUT the flipper can right the robot if needed.
    Strengths: Can cause some EXTREME damage, Powerful Flipper, Heavily Shock-Proofed, A good all-rounder.
    Weaknesses: A bit slow

    Blue Hurricane

    Weight: 100kg
    Shape: Disc
    Dimensions: 88 X 88 X 27
    Colour: Royal Blue for the sides, and a nice shade of midnight blue for the top and bottom.
    Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v, with a couple of NiCad Batteries.
    Wheels: Two Aluminium Wheels with a nice layer of Asmaprene Urethane on it.
    Armour: 3.25mm Hardox for top and bottom, and 11mm Grade 5 Titanium for the sides.
    Top Speed: 13 mph
    Ground Clearence: 5mm Everywhere.
    Turning Circle: Zero! Need I say more?!
    Weapon: Ok, the weapon is a nasty 32kg spinning rim, which is made out of 11mm Grade 5 Titanium, with 4 X Tungsten-tipped teeth. (2 teeth on bottom, and 2 on top) The teeth are all made out of hardox, and also curved to rip off skirts and panels with ease. It also runs on a single LEM-130 Lynch, and spins at about 2000RPM. This can rip through titanium and dent hardox quite easily. Heavily Shock-Proofed, as well.
    Srimech: Invertible
    Strengths: Can cause a hell of a lot of damage
    Weaknesses: Not the best pushing power by a long shot

    Paralyzation 2

    Weight: 100kg.
    Body Shape: Low Box ala Tetanus Booster.
    Colour: Gold.
    Dimensions: 100 X 78 X 20.
    Drive: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v powered by 4 X NiCad Batteries.
    Top Speed: 15 mph.
    Wheels: 4 inner, Tightly Foam-Packed Wheels with Asmaprene Urethane on them.
    Armour: 3.4mm Hardox 500.
    Ground Clearence: 3.5mm all around.
    Weapon: 19 kg Drum powered by a LEM-130 Lynch, spinning at 5000 RPM. There are 8 teeth, which are all curved upwards and jagged to rip and flip opponents. Heavily Shock-Proofed, as well.
    Srimech: Invertible. Side spikes prevent it from getting beached.
    Strengths: Deadly Weapon, and a Great Pusher.
    Weaknesses: Exposed Tyres although very strong.

    Neo-Mecha

    Weight: 100kg
    Shape: Ankle Biter (Battlebots 3.0 Version)... with side skirts
    Colour: Jet Black for the front and rear, Prussian Blue anywhere else
    Dimensions: 100 X 77 X 36
    Power: 2 X Bosch 750's @ 24v powered by 5 X NiCad's, all shock proofed with PU foam
    Wheels: 2 X Aluminium Wheels with Asmaprene Urethane covering
    Speed: 15 mph
    Armour: 3.25mm Hardox
    Ground Clearence: 0mm on the sides due to skirts, and on the back. 6mm anywhere else (Including without skirts)
    Turning Circle: Aw, come on, you know this is zero.
    Weapon: 27kg Front Vertical Spinning Disc made from laser cut titanium, powered by 2 X LEM-130. This also has 2 Hardox teeth curved upwards, and it will spin at 3600RPM. Heavily Shock-Proofed as well.
    Srimech: At the rear, there is a linear actuated bar, and it can right the robot in 1 second.
    Strengths: Powerful Weapon, Decent Pushing Power, Fast and effective srimech
    Weaknesses: Hopefully, there is none. XD

    Ant: Combatant (Extreme 1 Version)
    Feather: Little Hitter (Most Recent Version)
    Light: Ground Zero
    Middle: Hazard
    Superheavy: Ziggy

    All righty, Steve! And Samuel...

    Next Stop, Jupiter - I think the Boschs might be a little chunky for that height. You can use LEM130s or S28-400s and use less weight. Where's the two second spin-up time come from? By the way, mounting your motors IS shockproofing, but if you want to smother it even more and risk overheating the machine...it's a tad overweight, yes.

    Blue Hurricane - seems okay to me, though you're a bit overconfident of the damage you would cause

    Paralyzation 2 - LEM-130 Lynch? And the motor is where? 3.5mm ground clearance seems a bit low, you won't really be able to move up ramps without getting stuck

    Neo-Mecha - Again with the Boschs...at 24v, you're not going to push much stuff, even if you get under them from the rear. Go with LEMs or S28s.

    All otherweights - fine.

    Fix your heavyweights up and you'll be fine.

    Loling a little at the Warrior SKF clone
    It's cool to clone a robot, but at least find out how it works first :wink:

    I'll try to find some links to the photos that show the internals of Warrior SKF, will give you a little more of an idea on how the thing works.

    Here's the fixed version.

    Paralyzation 2

    Weight: 100kg.
    Body Shape: Low Box ala Tetanus Booster.
    Colour: Gold

    Srimech: Invertible. Side spikes prevent it from getting beached.
    Strengths: Deadly Weapon, and a Great Pusher.
    Weaknesses: Exposed Tyres although very strong.

    Neo-Mecha

    Weight: 100kg
    Shape: Ankle Biter (Battlebots 3.0 Version)... with side skirts
    Colour: Jet Black for the front and rear, Prussian Blue anywhere else
    Dimensions: 100 X 77 X 36

    Wheels: 2 X Aluminium Wheels with Asmaprene Urethane covering
    Speed: 15 mph
    Armour: 3.25mm Hardox
    Ground Clearence: 0mm on the sides due to skirts, and on the back. 6mm anywhere else (Including without skirts)
    Turning Circle: Aw, come on, you know this is zero.
    Weapon: 27kg Front Vertical Spinning Disc made from laser cut titanium, powered by 2 X LEM-130. This also has 2 Hardox teeth curved upwards, and it will spin at 3600RPM. Shock-Mounted as well.
    Srimech: At the rear, there is a linear actuated bar, and it can right the robot in 1 second.
    Strengths: Powerful Weapon, Decent Pushing Power, Fast and effective srimech
    Weaknesses: Hopefully, there is none. XD

    Next Stop, Jupiter (Replacing Thanatos)

    Weight: 100kg
    Shape: Warrior SKF, with a wedge extension on the front.
    Colour: Colours of the planet Jupiter, duh.
    Dimensions: 100 X 81 X 21 cm
    Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v, powered by several NiCad Batteries, shock-proofed.
    Wheels: 2 X Aluminium Wheels with Urethane Rubber for superb grip
    Armour: 3.5mm Hardox for the wedge, 7mm Ti/V for top and bottom, 5mm hardox for the rim
    Speed: Roughly 13 mph
    Ground Clearence: Obviously 0mm for the front, and 6mm for anywhere else
    Turning Circle: Zero... how many times do I have to tell you guys?!
    Weapon: A nasty 27kg spinning rim powered by an LEM-130 Lynch, and spinning at 2000RPM. It also has 8 X hardox teeth on board. (Four on top, Four on Bottom) The rim can deliver some VERY nasty damage to another opponent. It can slice through titanium, and dent hardox without any problems. The motor is shock-mounted, to avoid killing itself from its own hits. The rim can also transfer its energy to the front kinetic flipper, thanks to a clutch. This flipper has a wedge extension which is nearly impossible to get under. The flipper can also throw robots with HUGE force. Can you say, OOTA?!
    Srimech: Yes, it can run inverted... BUT the flipper can right the robot if needed.
    Strengths: Can cause some EXTREME damage, Powerful Flipper, Shock-Proofed, A good all-rounder.
    Weaknesses: A bit slow

    Blue Hurricane

    Weight: 100kg
    Shape: Disc
    Dimensions: 88 X 88 X 27
    Colour: Royal Blue for the sides, and a nice shade of midnight blue for the top and bottom.
    Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v, with a couple of NiCad Batteries.
    Wheels: Two Aluminium Wheels with a nice layer of Asmaprene Urethane on it.
    Armour: 3.25mm Hardox for top and bottom, and 11mm Grade 5 Titanium for the sides.
    Top Speed: 13 mph
    Ground Clearence: 5mm Everywhere.
    Turning Circle: Zero! Need I say more?!
    Weapon: Ok, the weapon is a nasty 32kg spinning rim, which is made out of 11mm Grade 5 Titanium, with 4 X Tungsten-tipped teeth. (2 teeth on bottom, and 2 on top) The teeth are all made out of hardox, and also curved to rip off skirts and panels with ease. It also runs on a single LEM-130 Lynch, and spins at about 2000RPM. This can rip through titanium and dent hardox quite easily. Shock-Proofed to protect itself from attacks.
    Srimech: Invertible
    Strengths: Can be very damaging
    Weaknesses: Not the best pushing power by a long shot
