How Could I Improve...
I was going to post it here anyway, as I suspect it is overweight and/or wouldnt work.
Titanium Teeny (FW)
Shape: Box wedge
Weight: 13.6kg
Dimensions: 15 x 15 x 10
Motivation: 4 x vulkalon tyres
Power: 2 x 12v cordless drill motors at 19.6v
Armour: 3mm titanium
Weaponry: Rear hinged titanium flipping arm, powered by 1 x 1.1kg co2 bottle at 250 psi, 1 x 75mm ram
Top Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: Effectively 0 at sides due to 3mm titanium skirts and at front due to wedge, 5mm at rear
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The flipper will spring the robot back onto its wheels no problem
Strengths: Good weapon
Weaknesses: Pretty weak armour
And if you dont mind, my new HW vapour as well.
War Drum
Shape: Reverse wedge
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: (with drum) 100 x 95 x 35
Motivation: 2 x go-kart wheels
Power: 2 x S28-400 magmotors at 24v, 12HP
Armour: 3.25mm hardox
Weaponry: 25kg 20 x 95 x 35 hardox spinning drum, powered by 2 x E-Teks at 48v, gives 165Kj hit and spins vertically so as to flip opponents, can be reversed if robot is flipped
Top Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 8mm at front and sides, effectively 0 at rear due to wedge
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Black, red drum with yellow diagonal stripes
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: Exposed to flippers at sidesComment

Id say 3mm titanium would be pretty good armour for a featherweight...as for War Drum, two Eteks is probably complete overkill as well as overweight, and there might be problems with having Hardox all around, but its better than Timothy at least.

I think Liam, you can use a motor that SJ has used in the disc for the highly sucessful YACATR and also in the ring for Psyclonised. Its a LEM200 motor and is lethal - I think its about 18kg in weight and produces 52hp in 48V. Id use that instead of the Eteks. Can anyone correct me if wrong, because if I am wrong, then Liamll be wrong as well if he takes my advice and itll all turn pretty nasty and Ill end up going the same way as Mark (hopefully not, as I dont want to leave)

Wrong. LEM200s weigh about 11-12kg each (but suck up HUGE amounts of batteries) and give out ~25hp each @ 48v.Comment

Thanks anyway people, I think Ill use LEM-200 at 48v. How many? Would one be enough, or would two be overkill?Comment

Id use one.Comment

One would be enough - two would be overweight as well as overkill

WAAAAAAAY too small. Thats almost an ant.

You cant fit a 1.1kg bottle in a feather and a 75mm ram (whats the stroke going to be by the way?) and expect to be underweight. Most featherweight roboteers use the 600g bottles in feathers, but ours use the 12oz paintball bottles (300+ grams of co2). I would also lose 2 wheels. Trust me on this, after 4 feathers with active weapons I know you will need every gram you can find.Comment

A 1.1 kg bottle is more than 42cm long with the valve attached.
A regulator , what you need to get 250psi, wont make it any smaller.Comment

What about this interchangeable weaponry bot?:
Interstate
Weight: 100kg
Shape: El Diablo (Battlebots Series 2.0)
Colour: Blue, with I-35 written on the top.
Dimensions: 90cm x 65cm x 30cm
Drive: 4x LEM-130 motors, powered by 6x NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 4 fully Vulkanized rubber wheels
Armour: 8mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy
Speed: 19mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at sides and back due to skirts, 5mm without skirts, usually 5mm at front.
Turning Circle: 0m
Setup 1: A 10kg Hardox 0mm wedge at the front, designed to kill spinners where they stand.
Setup 2: a 5kg drum, with 10 tiny Hardox teeth, powered by an LEM-200 at 2000rpm, at the front.
Srimech: invertibleComment

Thickness of the front wedge would help, and a rough stating of what the shape actually is would be good for those people like me who dont follow Battlebots. You dont really need 4 LEMS either, as that might put you overweight.Comment

Funny that Marks inventing an interchangable robot, as maybe he should become interchangable and get a different brain
Ive invented my own interchangable robot, designed mosty to kill spinners, but also other things as well. Give me your honest thoughts on this:
KNYFE
€ WEIGHT: 100kg.
€ ARMOUR: 6mm Hardox monocoque on the rear, top, front and sides. 4mm Titanium on the base. Inside, I have 4cm of Vulkanised rubber to make sure its good when facing spinners.
€ SHAPE: An invertible box shape, with varing front ends. The sides and rear meet at a fine triangualar point
€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM200€™s at 48V = 50HP
€ LOCOMOTION: 6 Vulkanised Wheels.
€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (H) 30CM (W) 80CM
€ COLOUR: The body is silver with golden edges, and name on top with thck gold outlines for each letter
€ WEAPONRY: Knyfe has weaponry that can be changed around to suite the robots it is facing.
1: A standard concave scoop made from 15mm Hardox, impossible to bend or scratch, and perfect for stopping FBS€™
2: A pair of Hardox spikes with diamond-sharp tips. These spikes are on a hindge, and will flip over if the robot is flipped over, and because these spikes scrap the floor, it€™s impossible to get under it whilst using them.
3: Front wedges, mounted in a similar way to those on forklift trucks, reaching out 10cm, and made of 8mm G5 Titanium, and of course getting thinner as it reaches the end of the wedges. The point of these is to ground other robots on them, and make them easier to push without resistance.
4: A 10mm Titanium static scoop with an extension. This is for getting under other rammers.
5: A 15mm Hardox wedge hindged at 42* with an extension on it, perfect for deflecting vertical spinners and getting under other robots.
€ SPEED: 20mph
€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0-8mm. The front will always be 0, and the sides and rear are protected by 7mm Titanium skirts on a rotary joint that joint at the hindges.
€ STRENGTH: Powerful drives and interchangeable weaponry.
€ WEAKNESS: Wheels might be targets for axes and crushers.Comment
