Mini-Tournament!

Forget everything written in this post so far-
This was posted in my bad begining days, but I have turned it all around now.
I may as well use this thread anyway, so it wont waste. This tournament probably wont start until after Robot SMASH!! is over, or at least until after Heat H is finished.
This is essentially a chance for me to work on my writing skills, so Ill be taking my sweet time on the fights to try and make them really good if I can.

Rules

1) I need 8 people to enter 1 vapourbot each, if possible your latest new design, though if you have no new ones or dont want to enter the new one dont worry.

2) The tournament structure will be the same as the standard RW6 style heats:
2 x 4 melees, 2 robots go through
2 x 2 one-on-one battles
The play-off for third place
The final

3) 100kg for wheeled robots
110kg for shufflers/tracks
200kg for true walkers

4) Passive weaponry is allowed, no flying robots

5) Clusterbots are allowed, but there must be no more than 4 parts and if 50% is immobilised to whole squad is out.

6) The arena will be the RW7 arena to keep things simple, but there will be no house robots except refbot.

7) No crap please.

If (understandably) the tournament doesnt generate enough interest I will add the required amount of realies, but I will notify you of this long before I do it.

I dont think Ive forgotten anything. Feel free to ask questions.

Nitro-Gene 4.0 is faster, more dangerous and after gold in this tornument! Im looking forward to this Liam - youre fights are GREAT!

NITRO-GENE 4.0

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox monocoque for the body. 6mm Hardox flipper. Inside the body, there€™s 1cm of Vulkanised rubber on the sides and rear, with 2cm on the front to help fight powerful spinners

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with pointed sides and rear. At the front is a 42* wedge to aid in getting underneath other robots and deflecting hits from strong spinners. All the lines have been curved over to make it harder for a spinner to grab onto a panel and rip.

€ MOTORS: 4 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 36HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 90CM (H) 17CM (W) 70CM

€ COLOUR: Blue all over with the flipper coloured red with the name imblazed on the flipper (running down the robot) in gold writing with a thick silver outline. All the edges of the robot are coloured gold.

€ WEAPONRY: A full pressure Nitrogen powered flipper at 1000psi, using a single 80mm ram at 1000psi. The flipper is mounted in the middle of the robot, and is 20cm wide and runs 50cm up the body. Using a 3cm long Titanium strip underneath the flipper, and a heavy flipping arm, the flipper runs completely along the ground. Running on a ratio 2.2:1, the flipper produces 1600kg of force at the tips, allowing me to launch anyone away! This version has 2 x 3kg Nitrogen bottles, giving me 25 flips! The flipper has enough power to self-right Nitro-Gene in a super stylish 540* somersault!

€ SPEED: 22mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-2CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the sides/rear, its 2cm. The orginal weakness of Nitro-Gene (its high ground clearance) has been seen to by the skirts on the sides/rear. They are 5mm Titanium skirts and are joined together like BioHazard - at the corners - to make in near impossible for anything to get under them. To avoid them breaking off, they are held in place by Hardox hinges.

€ STRENGTH: Pushing power and weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: High speed may mean difficult driving

Looks cool though.

I would like to enter something new, but Im on linux at the moment and I hate Blender already. How people can make anything in that is beyond me. I will reboot to Windows later tonight and whip up something in Lightwave.

In short, save me a seat please?

Mini-Tournament!

Reserve me a place please - I have evil plans...

Edit: Evil plans have arrived...Ladies, Gentlemen, and Leo, I present to you...

...

The End
WEIGHT: 200kgs (walker)
DIMENSIONS: 95 x 50 x 25 cm
SHAPE: Box with front wedge
COLOUR: Pewter grey, with yellow and black hazard tape on the edges and It Is Time For The End written on the front in dark green
DRIVE: A hydraulically driven four legged walking system, using two short rams for each leg giving forward/back and left/right motion, powered at 3000psi from a 70cc 2 stroke strimmer engine
SPEED: Uh...it genuinely does move, lets leave it at that :P
GROUND CLEARANCE: 0 all around due to 4mm Hardox skirts, variable 10-15mm under those.
ARMOUR: 20mm Hardox welded monocoque, electrolysed with a layer of pewter
WEAPONS: Huh?
SRIMECH: None (the engine would stall anyways) but torsion sprung 4mm Hardox skirts hinged within the armour and protected by Kevlar fabric should prevent any flippage.
KILLSWITCH POSITION: In the top right hand corner of the top panel, beneath a 5mm Hardox cover held on by a pair of wing nuts. This is important because this means there is no link to be knocked out (its a petrol driven machine) and the killswitch could only be hit by a very precise and powerful axe.
NOTES: Is heavily shockproofed to prevent any damage from weaponry of all kinds, large or small. The base of the robot, as well as the feet of the legs, are coated in silicone rubber to give traction, and the robot has the ability to completely lower itself to the floor via remote control, which would make pushing it a task comparable to the labours of Heracles. Has a small Rattata Pokemon toy guarding the aerial.
STRENGTHS: Completely indestructible
WEAKNESSES: Cannot do anything offensively, would probably take the whole of the battle just to move to the start position, if the start position were very close to the entrance pen.

MEGA MASHER 2

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Minion with skirts.
Speed: 12mph
TC: 0
GC; 0 at front, 1mm at sides due to skirts, 10mm underneath.
Wheels; 4 inner.
Armour: A nice 3.25mm Hardox
Power: 3x 12v batteries, plus Bosch 750s at 36v.
Colour: Red and yellow.
Weapons; The front is a wedge, and the back has a nasty vertical disc, powered by its own LEM130 motor and spinning at 2000 rpm. It can probably flip as well as damage. A side Minion style bar, pneumatic CO2 powered, comes out from the side.
Srimech: The aforementioned bar rights the robot, even though it can run inverted.
Inspiration; This is probably the only robot I have where I have had no inspiration. It just came as a good name.
Strengths: Power, weaponary
Weaknessess: A little bulky, not as heavy as the body would suggest.

To be honest Joey, your robot is either a walker or a very low wheeled robot
