The Combat Kings tournament took AJ and I 2 weeks to fill with 8 people, and we had to bug them constantly on MSN to get their entries in :P

Scale down and give the more time

OK - whats going to happen is this: if youd entered the previous series of E.O.T.R, then just put your name down and I will enter the robots you entered into the previous series. Its just to save time.

If you didnt enter the previous series, just enter the normal way.

please consider cutting this down to 8 entrants, the fact that you got 12 last time doesnt mean youll get 12 this time

[paulc]

I cant cut it down to 8, as people are entering 8 robots each. 8 x 8 = 64, and given Ive prepared to have heats of 6, what can I do?!

[pcbore]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

I had 64 entries in NSBFL 7. I had 16 heats with four robots, and just had 1-1 battles all the way.

Hmmm...this seems like as good a place as any to have my vapours trashed for the first time :P

Team Chevron
Gabriel (v1.2)
Fire And Ice (stats to follow, Im modifying it to get it in 100kg)
Nidhogg
147

As for realies, Ill have 13 Black (S7), Dreadnaut (XP1 version, S4), Panic Attack (Extreme 2) and Darke Destroyer (S3)

EDIT: Stats for all in How Could I Improve, except for:

Fire And Ice
WEIGHT: 100kgs
DIMENSIONS: 75 x 55 x 22 cm
SHAPE: Invertible box, with a wedge at the front and an inverted wedge at the back.
COLOUR: Flame red and yellow at front, icy blue and green at back.
DRIVE: 4 LEM130 motors running off NiCd packs at 36hp driving steel-reinforced rubber tracks.
SPEED: 16mph average, 25mph max (rarely used as it is difficult/impossible to turn at this speed)
GROUND CLEARANCE: 10mm at sides, hinged plating extending below both wedges giving zero clearance on whichever side is down (if that makes sense...), 23cm at rear.
ARMOUR: Front and rear are 6mm hardox, with the sides, top and underside being 4mm titanium.
WEAPONS: Mainly relies on speed and ramming power, but also has two 20cm diameter diamond edged sawblades, one in the centre of each wedge (a la Angel Of Death from S2) each powered by an Ampflow E-150 motor to around 3500rpm. The saws spin upwards to have some lifting effect as well.
SRIMECH: None, but runs inverted. Has spike strips on the sides to prevent stranding.
NOTES: Armour and components shock mounted to reduce impact from all things large and spinny.
STRENGTHS: Good speed and power, good against spinners
WEAKNESSES: Tracks vulnerable to axes

This I do not understand. You are already struggling to get your tournament started because there arent enough players, yet you wipe a player because you didnt get his stats in time? Why would it matter anyway? The board is not full so the tournament cant start so what if he is a little late with his stats?

Time to enter my updated Achilles I feel. Images can be found in the picture thread.

Achilles
Weight: 100kg
Shape: box, slightly thicker than tornado, not double sided, sides skirted like Panic Attack, back curved for more efficient srimech (like the original hydra), front is sloped at 45 degrees and tapered inwards so that any hits to the front will go to the reinforced flipper plate€¦ See the image.
Wheels: Four internal cast aluminium wheels (similar to tornados Go Cart wheels in design but only half the width) and using treaded go-kart style tyres of appropriate diameters.
Motors: 4x S28-400 Magmotors at 24v
Speed: 18mph,
Turning circle: 0m
Armour: 5mm titanium and on top 10mm of polyurethane rubber to stop axes and crushers The flipper itself is a hardox frame and front plate (4mm) and the spatula being titanium. The internal rams are mounted onto a hardox crossbar but otherwise the top of the flipper it is now armoured with 10mm polycarbonate and the aforementioned rubber.
Ground clearance: At the front, the flipper spatula essentially gives it a 0 ground clearance, at the sides it would be 5mm but is protected by a 3mm stainless steel skirt
Weapons:
The weapon is a rear pivoted lifting arm, this has two set-ups, plus a small extra mounted weapon for either. To get under the opponent it has a Bigger Brother style lifting plate that runs parallel to the ground resting upon it that gives the machine a really low ground clearance enabling it to get under most things, the front edge of the plate has been filed to a sharp edge.
Set-up 1: Hydraulics
Uses a single hydraulic lifting arm to life opponents of up to 150 kg into the air and tip over up to 400kg. Uses a 120mm bore ram with 40mm stroke and powered using a Vivoil pump
On top of the lifter is a hook mechanism that looks like a tiny claw but performs the same gripping effect as the top mounted behemoth axe. It is not particularly sharp, as it is not designed to cause damage, just to grip the opponent it is powered by a small linear actuator.
Set-up 2: Pneumatics
The second set up is a high-powered pneumatics set-up with a single canister of C02 running at 1000psi providing the power. The addition to this set-up is a small T-shaped bar powered by an actuator which pivots towards the back, enabling Achilles to self right without using up any gas.
Strengths: Very durable, no particular weaknesses for opponent to exploit.
Weaknesses: No damaging weapons.
