How are these classic heavyweights?
Dont ask why I built them, its a secret!

Delta-Rex (Classic HW)

Weight: 80kg
Shape: Reverse cut-off wedge with a scooped front
Dimensions: 75 x 75 x 28
Motivation: 2 x go-kart wheels at the front of the robot, internally mounted
Power: 2 x Litton motors overvolted to 36v
Armour: 3.25mm hardox sides, front, rear and top, 4mm 7075 aluminium base
Weaponry: 1)T-Minus style flipper on the front of the robot, the arm running down the wedge. It is powered by 2 x 2kg co2 bottles and has 1 x 100m ram at 500psi.
2) At the rear on the cut-off part of the wedge there are two hardox tungsten tipped ramming spikes.
Top Speed: 20km/h
Ground Clearance: 0 at front due to scooped front and flipper, 8m at sides and rear.

Bambi (Classic HW)

Weight: 80kg

Each arm of the claw is powered by a 2kg co2 bottle and a 80mm x 40mm ram at 250psi. The idea is to grab opponents, then lift them. The claws have serrated edges to hold onto opponents better.

Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The arm
Colour: Dark Blue
Strengths: Good weaponry
Weaknesses: Ground clearance

Yes, its top secret. Its not for the tournament Im doing after...wait, there is no tournament. I am never doing another tournament, an certainly wont be doing a classic heavyweight one after I finish the Chevron...damn.

Right, listen. You never heard any of that, and if you read it you have temporary amnesia. You shall never speak of this again. Understand?

As for those robots, I cant see anything majorly wrong with them, so its very possible theyre in weight.

*copies the words down for Joey to hear later*

Some classics coming up. Time for Fangorodrim to come out of retirement...

But until then, I shall bring another golden oldie out of retirement...the silver medallist of PTT3 Pinball.

Junkyard Mawler (previously Junkyard Maw)

Shape: Steep box wedge with sloping rear (and rear skirt) and pointed sides. Has spines on the sides as well.

Colour: Dark brown.

Speed: 15mph average; 22mph top speed

Weight: 80kg

Armour: 9mm Grade 5 titanium with a 9mm polycarbonate underbelly. Rear skirt is 6mm titanium.

Drive: 2 LEM130s @ 36v

Power: 4 NiCad Battlepacks @ 36v

Motivation: 4 inner 7mm titanium hubs with urethane rubber for grip

Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front, 5mm at the sides, and 0mm at the rear (10mm without skirt)

Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 90 x 65 x 30

Weaponry: A rear-hinged flipper powered by a 2.5kg CO2 tank and 80mm ram. Its got about 30 flips in the canister and is enough to toss a bot of equal size about 4 feet into the air. Its powerful but not overkill. On top of the flipper are two stationary Hardox claws shaped like curved teeth so that opponents dont run straight over the wedge.

Srimech: Flipper

Strengths: Fast, powerful, tough. A good all-rounder basically.

Notes: Redesign of a VERY old 100kg vapourbot. CAD coming soon.

It has wheels 7mm in diameter? :P

And I hate to say it, but Id have to be convinced that 18mm Ti and lexan wont put it overweight...

EDIT: Misread stats, but still, 9mm Ti is borderline...

No silly, thats what the wheels are made of, not the diameter. The diameter is 150mm. :P

And fine. The titanium is now 7mm. :P

OMG, its awesome! I really like the shape on it, kinda like NG5.0 (but in weight )

Very funny Liam By the way, Ive done all I can with Nitro-Gene 5.0, and I THINK its in weight, but if someone cuold do a weight check, its just I dont know about things like weight, I just focus on how tough everything is, so if someone could do a weight check to help me, that would help...obviously

[joey_picus]

Right, bearing in mind Im not 100% sure on this:

Drive train (4 LEMs + batteries, chains wheels, etc.): 35 kg ish
Chassis (you said above there was a seperate chassis, so this is ignoring the whole monocoque confusion): 15kg at least
Armour: I calculated this somewhat properly (assuming a 2x1m 5mm Hardox sheet for the whole body, which is about right taking into account the sides and angles) and it came out as 78.5kg by itself. (see http://www.matweb.com/tools/weightcalculator.aspxhttp://www.matweb.com/tools/weightcalculator.aspx )
Weaponry: Id guess at least 25kg for the entire weapon setup, including rams, tanks, valves, piping, stored gas, etc.
Miscellaneous: 10kg

Total: 163.5kgs

Im pretty sure Jim Struts weighed less than that :P

The above would indicate that there is a severe problem with most of everyones vapours though, so I wouldnt take it as gospel.

Where are NG5.0s stats?
