Andy entered Influence, if you recall.

And unless he gives it stats, itll either be the energizer bunny, or everything I ever entered.

Im feeling very un-inspirational at the moment, so I threw these stats together while half asleep...

Wedga Triton

Shape: Sort of box shaped with sloped side and rear, the front end is scooped and contains the flipping arm inside it.
Dimensions: 800mm x 700mm x 180mm (Length x Width x Height)
Weight: 100kgs (should be around that with 1% allowance and fuel)
Motivation: Four internal Ali wheels with a Vulkolan treaded tyre.
Drive: Two LEM130 Lynch Motors powered by 120x 3600mAh NiCad cells producing 36v and around 17hp.
Speed: Geared to go around 15mph, so moderately fast but still controllable.
Turning Circle: 0m (tank style steering)
Ground Clearance: 0mm under the front scoop and 10mm at the sides and back when skirts are not in place. When skirts are fitted there is pretty much 0mm all the way round.
Skirts: Hinged with a rotational joint at the bottom of the wedges to give a bit more protection against rear and side wedge/flipper attacks. Are sprung loaded, but no torsion stuff, just to give a bit of resistance.
Armour: 3.25mm Hardox front scoop, sides/top/bottom/rear all 6mm Titanium monocoque. Skirting is also 3.25mm Hardox.
Weapons: A rear hinged central flipping arm. Made of 4mm Hardox and goes across the top of the body and then rests comfortably inside the front scoop. This is so if a spinner hits the scoop, the arm doesn€™t get snapped clean off. It€™s powered by a nice 100 stroke 80mm bore ram and fed by CO2 gas at 145psi contained inside 2x 2.2kg canisters. This should give at least 30 flips in a fight, which is plenty. The decent drive train and scoop/wedge combinations can make it a good pushbot too.
SRIMECH: If anything ever gets under it to flip, the arm can easily right it.

Martijn: Yeah, I noticed Kodys been busy too. Only looked at a couple but glad to see people are still making vapourbots.

Meh...
Anti-Kustom
Weight: 0kg
Speed: A google times a google a google times of a kilometer per second...Or a whole damn lot. NOT customized, made from scratch since Im just that awesome and magical.
Armor: A google times a google a google times yard thick uber hardox..just the thinnest amount possible weighs nothing and is invincible.
Weapon: A enchanted Spinning disc of unheard of might X 100,000. Spins at you guessed it, a google times a google a google times RPM per second, with sharp enough teeth to slice through anything like paper, even if it was only going at the slowest speed possible.
Ground Clearence: - a google times a google a google times...you were expecting otherwise? I enchanted this espically for getting under Kustom, but it can get under anything else equally as well.
The batteries will keep it going forever. I dont need to tell you how much the voltage is.
Strengths: It destroys everything, and destroys Kustom a google times a google a google times worse. Screw customization!
Weaknesses: Well, if you can OOTA or pit it by some random act of Satan...

IDIOT

TC: 3m

SRIMECH: God.
INSPIRATION: What inspiration?
STRENGTHS: Err...it moves.
WEAKNESSESS: Itself!

[swiss_tony]

Psh, Anti-Kustom can just tear a parrot in two, even if its only going at the speed of light

[swiss_tony]

The Slapstick League

Oh great..I just realized I made ANti Kustom DAMn slow...XD

[kodster]

The Slapstick League

Ryujin was a robot made long before.

Ivy - shes the next generation of Ryujin.

Just my 2 cents.

EDIT: Oh yeah, tactics.

For It Ends Now, Ill just wait until the influence has stopped influencing. Then smash it to bits.

for Ivy...meh, shell wait too, until Idiot destroys himself, given the name. Back-up plan: AGGRESSION KILLS. :wink:
