Bank or no bank?

[matty_haka]

Right, I need to break back into writing gently. And I have just the way with one of my normal absolutely off my head ideas.

I need 4 people to enter 4 vapours each all to the RW7 HW rules.

They also need to pick a number between 1 and 4. (People cannot pick the same number as someone else)

It combines Deal or No Deal with the Weakest Link. there are 16 fictitious boxes, each with a sum of money from 1p to 100,000 pounds (Sorry to the Americans :P) as well as one of the semi-finalists from UKRW. The 4 entrants will take it turns to pick a box. They must choose 1 of their 4 vapours to take on the robot, for the sum of money contained. At the end of the fight, they must choose whether to bank the money, or whether to wait til their next fight. If they bank the money its safe, if not they must win the next fight or they lose everything. Wheoever has the most money in the back at the end, with a maximum of 250,000 virtual pounds up for grabs is the winner.

Get entring

Bank or no bank?

Name: Disco 5
Shape: Low Wedge with small rear wedge
Motivation: it now uses four storm 2 style Vulcalon wheels
Speed: 12.5 Mph
Weight: 100kg
Height: 300mm to top of body, 600mm to the top of the disc
Length: 1300mm
Width: 600mm
Weapon: 500mm Vert. flywheel @ 3000rpm. Has a 4.00 second spin up time due to the C40-500 Magmotor on 36v with a 2:1 twin tension cog belt reduction. The flywheel produces 31.5Kj€™s at maximum RPM but is lethal at around 1 second. The second weapon is also the srimech, this weapon is a low pressure pneumatic flipper running on 10Bar (145psi) running into a single 80mm bore ram. This produces 509kg at the ram and is then transferred into the flipper with a leverage point ratio of 1:1. This is a forward facing flipper like FireStorm and will have no problem toppling the heaviest of robots.
Chassis: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium monocoque with extra 5mm Titanium ribs to give it more rigidity.
Drive: 2 x S28-400 Magmotors @ 36v with a 10:1 Mod 2 spur gear reduction
Batteries: 90 x 3000mAh NiCD cells producing 36v @ 9amp
Color- the robot and skirts and flipper are blue and the disc is yellow
Clearance- it has 0mm at the front due to the wedge it has 0mm at the sides due to skirts its 6mm with out it also has a 0mm at the rear due to the small wedge which is there to replace the problem of the skirt being flipped into the disc. The skirts are NOT hinged and held down by torsion-springs so they shouldn€™t spring up and the rear one shouldn€™t go up into the disc
Notes- The flywheel is at the back off the robot it goes over the back of the wedge so if I can get a robot up the wedge far enough it will be hit by the disc. The skirts stop the robot landing on its side.

NAME- The deer (was crusher chaos)
SHAPE- Invertible box
COLOR- the robot and claws are a dark green color
WEIGHT- 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 1m x 80cm x 25cm (l,w,h)
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- It has 6mm at the front due to the claws and has 0mm at the sides and rear due to the skirts, without skirts 6mm. The skirts also work both ways up.
ARMOUR- 3.6mm hardox
MOVEMENT- 4 inner wheels that make the robot invertible
POWER- 2 x S28 Magmotors on 24v.
WEAPONS- it has a front pair of horizontal hydraulic crushing claws set up like deers antlers (shaped like those you find in extreme destruction.) The claws have 3.5 tones of crushing force on the front tips of the claws at the middle is 6tones and right at the back it has 8 tones of crush. The claws are powered by hydraulics through a 120mm bore rams at 3000psi
NOTES- invertible, wide base means the deer wont topple while crushing
STRENGTHS- Very powerful weapon
WEAKNESSES- it could be turned into venison

Name- Panicking
SHAPE- Low invertible box
COLOUR- Yellow except for the lifting forks which are black
WEIGHT- 98kg
DIMENSIONS- 65cm x 60cm x 15cm (Length x Width x Height)
SPEED- 23mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0 mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 mm at front due to forks, 0 mm at sides and rear due to skirts 7 mm with out, the skirts are hinged so flop over when the robot is flipped
ARMOUR- 12mm polycarbonate
MOVEMENT- panic now uses 6 Vulcalon wheels to give extra pushing power
POWER- 2 x LEM130€™s on 36 volts
WEAPONS- on the front the robot has a pair of invertible lifting forks, the forks are sort of like those on panic attack, the forks are powered by 2 linear actuators
STRENGTHS- Low ground clearance
WEAKNESSES- previously lost to spinners!

NAME- Rammy Mk 3
SHAPE- Invertible box with front hinged wedge
COLOUR- Blue
WEIGHT- 94kg
SPEED- 20mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front due to wedge this is both ways, 0mm at sides and rear due to skirts 8mm without, the skirts can be taken off if they aren€™t needed for the fight
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- it has 6 inner vulcalon wheels
POWER- it uses 2 x lem 130€™s
WEAPONS- The front wedge can lift up and down powered by a linear actuator, this is only used if the opponent is winning to help get aggression points from the judges. The wedge is hinged so works both ways up however the lifter isn€™t as affective when the robot is flipped though it still works
SRIMECH- Invertible
NOTES- Rammy finally comes to the fra after entering frw 8 and some arc tourneys
STRENGTHS- Compact in size, great pushing power
WEAKNESSES- Comparatively Light

Bank or no bank?

Back from Nottingham and pleased with the response.

Chris is now number 1. further detail soon.

[matty_haka]

Bank or no bank?

Right. I do have to make one change to the advertised format.

I realised a flaw in the rules that basically offers no incentivenot to bank, so peopel could just bank prior to fights and not miss out. and so this is the change.

if you win your first fight, the money in whatever you opened will be doubled if you win that fight. However you must choose whether to bank or not BEFORE knowing what is in the box. if you win that and still dont bank, the money will be TREBLED and then QUADRUPLED!!!!!

There is now a potential winning of 750000 Virtual Pounds up for grabs.

The infromation of fights will be up shortly.

[matty_haka]

Bank or no bank?

So here€™s the line-up, with a twist. The numbers you picked are what order you will fight in in each round. What I lied about was you getting to pick which robots fight which opponents. You don€™t. the numbers you picked have also dictated what order your robots will fight in. You must decide whether to gamble or not before you open the box. So if it gets to the final round, you€™ve got a srimechless robot and there are 2 flipper robots left in play. The gamble will be up to you. I would now like each of you to pick your first boxes from number 1 to 16 and LET THE WAR BEGIN!

I pick boxes 2, 5, 12, and 15.

[matty_haka]

Bank or no bank?

Kody I can only allow 1 box to be picked per person at a time. so unless you tell me otherwise I shall take number 2 as your first choice.

[kodster]

Bank or no bank?

Right then, number 2 it is.
