Time to give a bot a freshening...

Shadow Zone 1.1

Shape: Box with front wedge, side skirts and rear skirts and wedge. Explained more properly in the picture: http://www.geocities.com/kodybluz/ShadowZone.bmphttp://www.geocities.com/kodybluz/ShadowZone.bmp
Colour: See pic.
Weight: 100kg
Speed: 16mph
Drive: 4 S28-400 Mags @ 24v
Power: 8 NiCad Battlepacks
Motivation: 4WD. Wheels have urethane rubber for supreme grip. Has a castor under the front wedge to help with turning.
Armour: 7mm titanium/vanadium. The skirts are titanium and bolted to the sides.
Ground Clearance: The wedge scrapes the ground at 0mm, the sides are 0mm (4mm without skirts), and the rear is also 0mm around the flipper.
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 85 x 65 x 30
Weaponry: A Toro-style flipping arm at the rear of the robot. Its powered by a single 5kg CO2 tank, making for about 10-15 odd flips. Can flip about 2000kg and toss about 850kg. Its not supposed to be used frequently, only against more powerful rammers and/or flippers.
Srimech: Flipper
Strengths: Maybe Infusion could get under it...well armoured, and has excellent pushing power and speed.
Weaknesses: Infusion.

Its not one of my better 3D drawings, but it should suffice. Thanks Andre.

Are these stats okay?

King Rat
WEIGHT: 200kgs
DIMENSIONS: 120 x 65 x 50 cms
SHAPE: Somewhat like a rat - an elongated dome with one pointed end.
COLOUR: Black, thanks to the fur
DRIVE: 4 LEM200 motors driving 2 rear wheels from 4 SLA batteries at 48v - the robot uses car type steering from a windscreen wiper motor moving two unpowered front wheels.
SPEED: 24mph average, 40+ mph max
GROUND CLEARANCE: 4mm at the front, 7mm at the sides and rear
ARMOUR: 8mm titanium (7mm hardox in critical areas) all around the top, covered in 2mm black Kevlar fur, with a 1.5cm plywood baseplate.
WEAPONS: An electric 95cm long steel axe on the front, running from a C40-300 Magmotor and a Mortis-style linkage capable of denting hardox and penetrating 5mm titanium in one or two hits with a Shunt-style tungsten tipped axe head weighing 7.5 kgs. Also has several Hardox spikes and blades in the front nose of the robot.
SRIMECH: Is designed to roll back onto its wheels if tipped over.
NOTES: Has laser eyes, furry ears and a long fabric tail, and shockproofing to protect from spinners.
STRENGTHS: Very controllable, good weaponry
WEAKNESSES: Large turning circle, easily flipped

Meh, I decided to enter a normal heavyweight and play by the normal RW rules.

Its okay if I get destroyed.

Rocky Dennis:

Shape: Just a plain old Box, with a low flat tongue

Mass - 199kg

Weapon - Allow me to come back to this area

Speed - 20 mph

Power - 4 Lem 130s at 48 volts, with each powering 2 wheels, so in effect an 8 wheeled machine, it has enough batteries. Each set of 2 wheels is in an independent dolly system, which can swing up-to 15 degrees either way.

Wheels - The front 4 wheels are solid go-kart wheels, the rear 4 wheels are also solid go-kart wheels.

Armour - Screw Hardox, instead I have got for a cocktail of armour materials, the top and bottom plates are constructed from 10mm Steel plating, the chassis is 10mm steel bars, re-enforced at various points. There is basis 10mm steel plating around the sides, but on top of that steel plating is a layer of harden ballistic jelly of about 200mm, but on top of the jelly is a layer of that super-dense fibre cloth, where the fibres are weaved together very tightly, so it€™s ultra-hard to tear into. The fibre and jelly is around the sides and rear, where the front has just the fibre. The idea is that if a spinner is powerful enough to tear though the fibre, the jelly will stop it.

Weapon - It has a front fork-lift system, powered by CO2, with the forks in the tongue itself, raising from thin to thick, so it can get underneath machines quite well.

Self-righter - This is an after-thought, so I have stuck a flipping arm on top to self-right the machine when it lands on the top, but due to the size it might land on its sides, so I have stuck a puncher, which will punch the machine off its sides.

Turning Circle - Nothing at all

Ground clearance - Optional side skirts reduce the ground clearance to zero, the front is zero due to the 40mm tensioned tongue (which makes it rather hard to get underneath from the front. The sides and rear without skirts is 40mm.

Summary - My phone€™s broken :sad:

Hey David what its strength, weakness and dimension?

[davids]

Grindhouse Extreme Tournament

I dont believe in putting Strengths and weaknesses down.

Dimensions: L - 1600mm including tongue , width is 1400mm including the jelly, and its 400mm tall.

Rocky Dennis vs. Tri-tanium

Oh yeah, Rocky Dennis FTW. Tri-tanium has no chance.

Shadow Zone 1.1 vs. King Rat

Use the rear flipper and keep flipping it.
