Right, here we go again...

[davids]

I have got some spare time and fancy having another go at some fan-fic writing, bearing in mind my last fight I wrote was about 2 years ago, so Im going in slowly.

What I need is for 4 people to enter 1 vapourbot each, the format will be a little 4-way league, where each bot will have 3 matches. The arena will be the arena from series 6, less the house robots.

The usual stats please.

Ooh, lets give an old friend a chance to stretch its wheels!

NAME- All Scoop and No Stab Make Steve A Dull Boy (thanks to Aaron for partially inspiring the name)
SHAPE- reverse wedge with scooped front, sloped sides and slightly boxed back
COLOUR- blue
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 110cm X 75cm X 45cm
SPEED- 14mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at front, 10mm at sides n rear without skirting, virtually 0mm with skirting
ARMOUR- 3.5mm monocoque Hardox all over
WHEELS- inside robot, 4WD
POWER- 2 x C40-500 MagMotors. These will run at 36v and produce approximately 12hp.
WEAPONS- The weapon synergy you know and love is back. The main form of attack this time, however, is the large flipping scoop at the front. This is powered by 2 x 39mm Dia high-pressure rams, giving flipping power equal to that of Mute. OOTAs galore!
This is accompanied by the ol pneumatic axe, forward-facing and mounted on the scoop mechanism ala Behemoth...except it aint pneumatic no more! A bit smaller than previous versions, the hammer is powered by a 36v LEM-130, providing about 2kJ per wAJDidIt and almost infinite blows. No bad, eh?
SRIMECH- the scoop can easily right the robot (hopefully, the axe can, too). Also, a single spike on either side will hopefully prevent it getting beached
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, scoop and hammer can be activated together or separately
STRENGTHS- Weapon synergy, tough armour, very good traction, nippy, skirted
WEAKNESSES- So-so manouverability?

Round 1:
SYNDOS vs. All Scoop

Tactics?

Right, here we go again...

Round 1:
SYNDOS vs. All Scoop - Ill go for Steve to win here
Flick of the Wrist vs. CRUSHER C.U

My tactics for this fight is target the rear of Flick, grabbing its rear, and pushing down the pit. Flick wont damage me by ramming or deter me by inverting me, as I have a self-righting ram.

I consider myself lucky, cause with a ground clearance of 0, Crusher C.U cant move itself

[velociraptor]

Right, here we go again...

Against All Scoop, Ill obviously aim to bring the disc into his sides and cause damage/flip him. If I do manage to overturn him, Ill try to strike the scoop as hes selfrighting and damage it. Ill aim to keep the disc towards him at all times, and if he runs at me front first, Ill try to hit him to one side of the scoop and hopefully knock him back.

And the fact that Crusher C.U would be easily 20KG overweight, I think youve got a good chance at winning :wink:

RANDOM MINI TOURNY
BATTLE 1
ALL SCOOP AND NO STAB MAKE STEVE A DULL BOY VS Slice n Dice on Steroids
First up, open the Pit. I should have the advantage in speed and traction here, so the plan will be to charge the corners of SYNDOS and hopefully use my weightier scoop to slip under the skirts. Grapple with the axe and either dump it down the hole or chuck it over a wall.

[paulc]

Right, here we go again...

I personally have to argue against all that, Martijn and Aaron! Robot will 0MM of ground clearance are able to move freely, and at good speeds.
And about Crusher C.U being too fat (), AJ said once that SOR 5.5 would be at least 400kg overweight. I rest my case.

This looks like a good tornument, with good robots entering.

Ps. I dont want to argue with you Martijn. Im just stating the facts.

Paul, take a nife and a piece of wood. Bring the knife RIGHT down to the wood and try and move it along it, wont go. same principle for a robot with 0mm ground clearance. You could have 0mm at the front say, but the back would be high enough to allow it to move, but a flat 0mm clearance... youll never go anywhere.
