Make way for the Weird Brigade!![]()
TEAM BRAVEHEART
1. Traffic Warden (HW)
SHAPE- rigid U shape, rounded rear
COLOUR- black with a yellow stripe
WEIGHT- 100kg, I hope
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 150cm X 25cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm
ARMOUR- 4mm Grade 5 titanium
MOVEMENT- four inner wheels
POWER- 2 x Etek-RT motors, running at 48v and producing 38hp.
WEAPONS- A pair of horizontal hydraulic clamps within the middle of the machine. Each clamp is powered by an 80mm x 40mm ram operating at 3000psi, delivering up to 10 tonnes of crushing power. When an opponent slips into the middle, the clamps activate and hold them in place. Traffic Warden can then drag them around and shove them into the nearest arena hazard. Think of it as Huggy Bear on steroids.
SRIMECH- invertible, rounded rear should prevent it getting beached
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, super special awesome thanks to Daniel Stickler, Martijn and AJ for helping with the design
STRENGTHS- good traction, tough shell, fairly manoueverable, nippy, powerful grip

2. Venus Fly Trap II
SHAPE- box with wedges on all sides
COLOUR- green with ugly great mouth on top
WEIGHT- about 100kg, I hope.
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 95cm X 20cm
SPEED- 12mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm, though the wedges and spatulas should provide some extra protection
ARMOUR- 3.75mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- 4 x inner wheels
POWER- 2 x C40-500 MagMotors. These will run at 36v and produce approximately 12hp.
WEAPONS- On either side of Venus Fly Trap II is what appear a rear-hinged flipper with a large spatula, covered in barbs. These are the 'jaws' and are powered by an 80mm x 120mm pneumatic ram each, running at 250psi. The idea is that an opponent is scooped up on top of the robot or gets stuck on one of the spatulas, the 'jaws' fire simultaneously and ensnare it like a real venus fly trap.
SRIMECH- A rear-hinged arm on top. Powered by a separate S28-400 MagMotor geared 250:1 for quick and easy self-righting.
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, thanks to Joey for aiding in the design
STRENGTHS- Unique weaponry, powerful, well-protected, nimble
