Nitro-Genes...dead?

Let us have a moment of silence for the departed robot.

...

Well done Danny though, and good fight from Liam.

Dont worry - this robot is like Den Watts! mean, lean and ready to fight again later on. But I think that he maybe is dead in this competition, so I can wish Danny good luck later on.

Can I have another go at trying to regain the belt, but with a new robot? Ive been waiting to give this latest improvement of MeCannibal a try-out:

MeCANNIBAL 2.0

€ WEIGHT: 110kg (Shuffler)

€ ARMOUR: 3.25mm Titanium on top and bottom.

€ SHAPE: Invertible low cylinder

€ MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 2 x Shuffling pads

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (W) 80CM (H) 20CM

€ COLOUR: Black with scary human face with over sized teeth coloured red.

€ WEAPONRY: Ring spinner, made of 10mm Hardox, weighing 30kg, powered by 2 x LEM130€™s at 36V to give it spinning speed of 3000rpm and producing 195KJ per blow with a spin-up time of 3 seconds, but is lethal in 1 second. It 2 big teeth made of Hardox that curve out. The teeth are inserted into the body and have rows of Tool Steel spikes on the teeth to dig in. These teeth 5kg each and are designed to send all the spinning energy into one spot rather than small amount into multiple spots. It also has 5 Inches worth of Titanium shock-proof Foam to stop it self-destructing.

€ SPEED: 15MPH

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-8MM. It has a full-bodied 5mm Titanium skirt running completely along the ground that rises when the shell is spinning, but drops when the shell isn€™t spinning. This is powered by a simple 750w Bosch 36V motor and runs at the same time as the spinner.

€ STRENGTH: Scary name and weapon

€ WEAKNESS: Hard to control

Not that good of an idea to run Mags at 36V.

Nitro-Gene was a worthy opponent. Thank goodness I survived long enough to make it a judges decision.

[joey_picus]

Challenge Belt

Im not sure if youd need a motor to power the skirt, if you got enough inertia while spinning (very easy) the centriwhatever force would cause it to rise naturally, provided you had rubber or something between the segments of it to let it flex a bit.

[paulc]

Challenge Belt

I understand what you mean Joey, but that only brings it up enough to become a big tooth, which isnt what I want I want it to come up and rest along the shell, so the teeth on this can hit properly.

And to Mark, other people use MagMotrs as well at 36V.

[corsair_lightning]

Challenge Belt

Nitro-Gene was a worthy opponent. Im just glad I made it to a judges decision.

[joey_picus]

Challenge Belt

Ah, good point. Is there something wrong with the fact that I understand perfectly how it works?

This battle will be Crimson Thunders first defence of the challenge belt!Attempting to prise it from his vice grip will be MeCannibal 2.0, a shufflebot from the creator of Nitro-Gene 4.0, the previous holder of the belt.
Patrolling the CPZs we have Dead Metal and the ever-powerful bulldozer Shunt.
MeCannibal 2.0 is a shufflebot, and so weighs 110kg, 10kg more than its opponent.Its also invertible and has a powerful spinning ring, so watch out!
Crimson Thunder is your classic rambot, but dont say its old fashioned or youll be in the pit before you know it!
Booth 1:Paul Cuomo
Booth 2anny
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Crimson Thunder immediately heads for the pit release tyre, opening the chasm while MeCannibal gets that powerful spinner up to full speed.Crimson Thunder goes after MeCannibal,planning to stop the spinner by ramming it into the arena wall. However, as it makes contact MeCannibals ring tears off the front wedge, leaving innards exposed to attack!And attack is precisely what MeCannibal has in mind!Paul spins up and hits again, ripping out a drive motor!Crimson Thunders only got three wheels left on that wagon and is in dire need of a comeback!But MeCannibal isnt known for its merciful tactics and strikes again,this time tearing out the dead wheel and a side panel!
Refbot moves in to check Crimson Thunder out, and decides the spinner is down and out!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
Dead Metal clamps hold of Crimson Thunder and drags it onto the floor flipper, where it flies through the air coming to rest on the flame pit.Shunt then pushes it onto the Drop Zone, where Crimson Thunder meets a washing machine!
CEASE!
In the pits we discover that Crimson Thunder was immobilised because the second strike from MeCannibal knocked out its removable link, completely eliminating them!
MeCannibal 2.0 now holds the belt!

[joey_picus]

Challenge Belt

Ill take on MeCannibal, assuming youll let me try again, with...uh...Nidhogg:

Nidhogg
WEIGHT: 100kgs
DIMENSIONS: 100 x 70 x 37 (47 inc weapon) cm
SHAPE: Kind of like Lightning, only with a narrower front bit.
COLOUR: Dark green and brownish roughly chevron patterning, fading to blood red towards the front. Weapons are gold coloured with flame red spines on the arm.
DRIVE: 2 Leeson M1120046 motors run at 24v from 4 NiCd packs driving 2 wheels with Vulkalon treads, with a ball caster just behind the forks in the nose
SPEED: 14mph average, 20mph max
GROUND CLEARANCE: 0 at front due to forks, rising to 10mm at rear
ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox (7mm in key areas) on front, side and rear panels, 3mm aluminium baseplate
WEAPONS: Hydraulic crushing arm (constructed of hardened steel and aluminium alloy) at front driven from a Vivoil pump at 3000psi, giving 9 tonnes of force at the ram and 4.5 tonnes of force at the tip. Also has Haardvark-style lifting forks at the very front run from an S28-150 Magmotor and a lead screw capable of lifting 200kgs, generally used to hold opponents in place for the crusher to do damage.
SRIMECH: Via the weapon, which has decorative spines to assist in self righting. Spikes at the rear prevent the robot getting stranded.
NOTES: Components and armour shock mounted for protection against large scary spinny things. Cutout eyes in side of robot serve as targeting lasers (they dont actually target, they just look really cool)
STRENGTHS: Can cause a lot of damage
WEAKNESSES: Slow at self righting

Pretty good fights Liam

[paulc]

Challenge Belt

Well, it feels good to avenge MeCannibals breveren! And good fights too Liam. Well done for holding the belt Danny, and bad luck for losing it.

And I accept Joeys challenge:

TACTICS:

Nidhogg is a good machine which underperformed in my E.O.T.R Tourny, so I apologise for that. But I think I might have a tactic to win. It says that his armour is 7mm Hardox in the critical places. I know I wont get through that 7mm Hardox at all (nothing will) so Im going to go for the 4mm Hardox panels - I ripped up 5mm no problem.

But hes got shock-proofing, ruining my orignal plan of shock-killing him. So my plan is to try and spin him into a house robot, and hope they flip him. That way, whilst hes self-righting, I can destory the 3mm Aluminium base. If that doesnt work, just keep hitting him until he dies, or it goes to the judges.

As for what he can do, he has to let me spin up before he can use his lifters on me, but that claw worries me, so avoid like the plague.

Good luck Joey :wink:

TICTACS:

Box rush. Get over there before MeCannibal can spin up, try and ram underneath it and kerrunch. Hopefully. If that doesnt work, try and come in when it is spinning and do the same. Once I have hold, do a Razer and put it straight into the pit. If the claw is taken out for any reason, use the forks and push it into the house robots or the flame pit - he has shuffle pads, so I may have the advantage in manuverability.

And Paul, the loss wasnt as bad as you saying it was from Wales Good luck anyway.

[paulc]

Challenge Belt

Blame my parents, I ask them where Pontefract was, and they said Wales.

But the thing you need to know about me is that Shuffling Pad doesnt give me bad control, just GREAT traction. And you wont get to me before Im spun up - as Ive stated in my stats, my robot is deadly in 1 second, and LETHAL in 3 seconds. And I have the greater acceleration, due to my traction and speed. And the other thing is that youre based on Razer. There was a battle between Tengu and Razer which Tengu won becuase Razer get under it due to the shape. Youre the very shape that Razer was, so...

But good luck anyway :wink:
