New Blood€¦ New Beginning€¦

Okay, new tournament as I€™ve decided I€™m getting back into things. I€™m not bothering to write any rules or anything so I€™ll give some basic guidelines. You€™ll catch on hopefully.

- I need 8 people to enter 1 new vapourbot each (well 7 people, cause Im entering)
- However this vapourbot must be brand new and never competed anywhere else before
- Usual rules apply and battles will take place in the RW arena
- Looking for anyone in the tournament to help with writing battles, please volunteer if you would like to write a couple of fights (however everyone in the tournament must write at least 1 battle)

That€™s all I can think of, ask if there€™s any questions, go!

New Blood... New Beginning...

NAME: Flipperdont 2
WEIGHT: 100 kilos
BODY SHAPE: Spawn Again
SPEED: 12mph
TC: 0
GC: 0mm at the flipper plate, 2mm at the side, 3mm under the flipper and blocker.
WHEELS: 4 inner
ARMOUR: 6mm titanium
POWER: 3x 12v batteries, powered by some MagMotors...you know, the usual.
COLOUR: Layers of Black, Grey, Red and Yellow, with a Grey flipper and Black blocker.
WEAPONS: An enourmous front flipper capable of tossing about half a ton. It can literally flip a robot out of the arena halfway from the arena...and trust me, Ive seen it do it. No, seriously.
SRIMECH: The flipper acts as a srimech. To prevent it getting stuck on its back, a rectangular blocker has been installed, preventing it from getting stuck. It is extremely successful.
NOTES: If youre wondering how I actually make these claims, its this...the prototype has been made of Lego bricks. I have a whole army of home-made robots which battle each other and Flipperdont 2 is easily one of the most successful.
STRENGTHS: The flipper!
WEAKNESSES: For some reason, it doesnt do well against high-speed full-body spinners.

Ill steal a spot. Since hardly any of my vapourbots are new and many of them havent competed...I think Ill enter Entropy. Stats can be found on my forum:

NAME- Dakkon
SHAPE- Difficult to describe - think a smooth Sumpthing with a front scoop. Ill try to knock up a picture.
COLOUR- A greenish-grey with flecks of silver
WEIGHT- approx 100kg
SPEED- 18mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- Zilch for front as is has a titanium strip, the rest varier at over a centimetre
ARMOUR- Front plate is 6mm hardox, the rest however is 7mm aluminium over a titanium chassis.
MOVEMENT- 2 large wheels behind the front plate, again similar to Sumpthing.
POWER- 2x 750 watts Bosch motors at 24v.
WEAPONS- A huge single edged pnuematic axe - the recoil is only enough to self right it, and the blade is a quarter circle and weights 5kg, with sections cut out of it to decrease weight. It works similar to terrorhurtz - ie attempts to mash things apart, but only in one direction. It uses four canisters streamed into the piston to produce its power.
SRIMECH- The axe does it all - there are side struts from the shaft to aid it in this.
NOTES- Other than having a bizarre shape isnt very creative for me - but there again I havent had any losses to react against with my scheming
STRENGTHS- Powerful, decently fast, the front armour should protect it from spinners
WEAKNESSES- Back vulnerable to flippers and most things, will probably dance like terorhurtz a bit, axe could get stuck in certain things like wood.

Ill need to make up a picture of it, which Ill do this week with any luck.
