OK, I'll give this a go. going to enter one of my later robots, that should quite an explosive competitor (pardon the pun)

BLAST

â‚¬ WEIGHT: 100kg

â‚¬ ARMOUR: 3.25mm Hardox monocoque for the sides/rear, 8mm Titanium for the top, and 1cm Hardox scoop, with 2cm of PU foam behind it to absorb shock from the front.

â‚¬ SHAPE: Low box with sides and rear angled at 35* (sidesâ‚¬â„¢ angled outwards (\) rear angled inwards (/)), meaning that, combined with the skirts, itâ‚¬â„¢s harder for robots to get under the sides and rear. The front scoop is angled at 50* with the 10* mounted front spikes.

â‚¬ MOTORS: 2 x LEM130â‚¬â„¢s at 24V = 6HP

â‚¬ LOCOMOTION: 4 x Vulkanised Wheels 30mm in width and 170mm in diameter with Titanium hubs with 8 spokes.

â‚¬ DIMENSIONS: (L) 85CM (W) 80CM (H) 21CM

â‚¬ COLOUR: Blue all over, except for the scoop, which is black with the name in blood red on the scoop.

â‚¬ WEAPONRY: Blast uses a weapon system combining the scoop and part of the top armour. The weapon is a FP flipper consisting of the whole scoop, and a 20cm wide, 75cm long section from the top, powered by 750psi pneumatics from a 110mm non-attached ram with buffer tanks to prevent freezing. The ram is geared to 3.5, producing 1000kg of force, which is a lot, and becoming from a large ram, it can flip a robot of equal weight 5ft upwards. The gas is stored in a single 2.5kg tank, giving 15 flips. The scoop has 2 x 1cm Hardox barbs built into it, in the middle with a 6cm gap between them, running flat along the floor, able to get under anything. This, combined with the speed, power and scoop should allow me to flip things about with ease.

â‚¬ SPEED: 22MPH

â‚¬ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0mm-8mm. 6mm Titanium skirts are on the sides and rear, making it 0mm with 8mm under the skirts.

â‚¬ STRENGTH: Rebilability and weapon.

â‚¬ WEAKNESS: Not as much power as other robots.

Good luck to whoever is teamed up with me

and this looks to be a good tourney, looking forward to it
