Oh No!!! It's VRW 5!!!

[corsair_lightning]

Okay, after realizing that I had make a lot of mistakes last tourney, and also after realizing that the number of enterable tournies is very low, and after looking over old tournies such as PTT3 and Nick's Byte Size, I have decided to give myself one last try.

Rules:

I need 12 people to enter 5 vapourbots and 1 real robot apiece.

EDIT: If you don't have 5 vapourbots(Pete, Jack and Harry Orr, umm... I think that's all), then I'm willing to cut you some slack and let you use real robots to give you your 6 robot total.

Flying Robots: Banned
Clusterbots: Up to 6 parts, but if half are immobilized/destroyed/pitted, then the bot is out.
Passive Weapon Bots: Allowed
Interchangeable weapon setups allowed: As many as your robot can use.
Weight Limits:
Normal(Wedginator 9.0, Achilles): up to 100kg
Tracked(System Shock V: Hex, Darkestar): up to 110kg
Shuffler/Miscellaneous(Anarchy, Walk Don't Run 5): up to 150kg
True Walker(Absolution, Hex Appeal): up to 200kg

1: Starfire the 4th (Veteran from VRW 1)
2: Brutalis 2.1 (7)
3: Neo-Mecha (Newcomer)
4: Apocalypse II (3)
5: Behemoth (Series 1 Grand Finalist)
6: CrOoKeD eVo (9)
7: Whiplash (1)
8: Storm II (2)
9: Robin the 4th (Newcomer)
10: Envy (Veteran from VRW 2)
11: Walk Don't Run 5 (Newcomer)
12: Beast Boy 4 (Newcomer)
13: Maximum Genocide (6)
14: Gravity 5 (Veteran from VRW 1, I think)
15: Razer (I think Newcomer...)
16: Hyper Death IC (Newcomer)

The Weapon Shop:

The arena is essentially a 20m x 20m platform with pipes above the arena. The walls are 25cm high, and there are 3 of them. The last wall is a polycarbonate panel that retracts downward when a release button is pressed, and exposes the robot to 3 side-by-side conveyor belts with small barbs on them to grab robots. These belts lead to a 3m x 4m pit, and will push your robot into it. Don't worry about your robot though, as the 6ft deep pit is filled with a section of soft Tempur-Pedic mattress foam, so your robot won't get badly damaged. In each of the 4 corners, there is a propane flamethrower exuding flaming gas at a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit. On the 2 walls opposite eachother, there are 2 140cm wide drums, each powered by a custom built 135hp engine mounted outside the arena. Each drum spins at a dangerous 8000rpm, and puts out over 300kjs! The wall opposite the panel contains 2 CPZs: One on the left side of the wall, and one on the right side. Each of the CPZs is a 4m x 5m rectangle, and contains 1 house robot. in between the 2 CPZs, the is a 10m gap, and on the wall is the button to release the polycarbonate panel and expose the conveyor belts. We're not done, however. There are 6 50cm diameter special alloy pipes running above the arena. These pipes are filled with burning thermite, and have been known to leak a bit, so if some drips on your robot, watch out! There's a grill in the middle of the arena that spews out Co2, so if some thermite drips on you, head to the the grill to cool yourself off.

The stats for the house robots are on my website, so that's all you need to know.

So anyways, start entering, and if you have any suggestions/criticism, please tell me. This will be the last time I do this unless it succeeds, and I think that's it.

For some reason those drums don't seem like they will get much bite, I think they're spinning too fast.

NB: No stats for Project X as of yet, I'll try to work on them later today or at the weekend.

Why are the walls so low?

[corsair_lightning]

I'm really not sure why I made them so low...

Question: What was the height of the walls of the Robot Wars arena?

[corsair_lightning]

Okay, after thinking about it, the walls are now 50cm high.

Srimech: The axe can easily self-right it (even when it's on its side), and it can also self-right even after the axe has fired, ala Killerhurtz.
Strengths: PSYCHOTIC AXE AND PUSHING POWER
Weaknesses: NONE AT ALL! (Except for Limited Co2)
Additional Notes: The first robot to win me a tournament.

ALSO: I think the drums spin too fast.

[corsair_lightning]

Thanks a lot for entering, Sam. Also, the drums now spin at 5000rpm, and still put out about 300kjs.

[RogueTwoRobots]

Just a small suggestion? Every time you get a new entry perhaps don't include loads of numbers and question marks in the spaces where entries have still be be submitted, because doing:

???
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

that six or eight times in one post then again when you have another entry makes your thread pages very long, so much so it could cause RSI in people's scroll fingers!

Why not just state the list of entries you've got, then simply state how many spots are remaining in the form of a single number?

Your thread though, so it's up to you

[corsair_lightning]

Okay, Jamie. I'll do it that way.

And just as a side question: how about you use some of your old Vapour stats(Dr. Acula, Drumroll S.R, etc.) and enter? I'm just asking, so please don't think of it as a demand.
