My world championship entrants are:

The May Tracks Has You

Shape: Like Comengetorix. It has a wedge extender to give it 0 mm at the front.

Speed: 20 MPH.

Dimensions(lwh A): 85CM X 45 CM X 24 CM

Armour: 4.5 MM hardox.

GC: 0 mm at the front, 6 mm everywhere else, covered by skirts made of 3 mm Ti.

Weapon 1: Rear hinged flipper, powered by two pneumatic rams at 500 psi.

Weapon 2: Upward facing spikes on the wedge. A robot can go over them, but if it tries to reverse, say goodbye to your tyres. By wedging a robot then reversing suddenly, TMTHY can impale the tyres, then fire the flipper to do loads of damage. Even a robot with stuffed tyres will be limping after that.

Drive: Inner tracks, powered by Lem-130€™s at 24 volts.

Srimech: The flipper.

Strengths: Weapon synergy. Once The May Tracks Has You, there is no escape.

Weaknesses: Axe/flipper combos could take the tracks out.

Representing: In Soviet Russia, you has May Tracks!

Sakura

Shape: Shaped like a closed cherry blossom, sort of conical.

Speed: 12 MPH

Dimensions(dh): 90X30 - diameter taken from the widest part of the machine, it gets narrower as it goes up.

Colour: Let€™s just say it€™s a shade Bex would approve of

GC: 1 CM

Turning circle: 0

Weapon: Team Bored€™s first true FBS clocks in with a 50 KG FBS shell, spinning at 1500 RPM and powered by two LEM 130s on 36 volts, which should give a nice fast spin up time. There are four hardox teeth, painted and shaped to look like leaves. These are razor sharp to give a nice slice, and they€™re also barbed to catch and rip opponents. I can only estimate the power output due to the shape not being supported by the energy calculator. This clocks in between 90-100 KJs.

Weapon 2: Humiliation. Who wants to admit they just got beat up by a flower?

Armour: 8 mm hardox for the spinning shell, 5 mm Polypropylene for the base.

Drive: 4 wheel drive, powered by two S28-400 Magmotors on 24 volts.

Srimech: There€™s a hole at the very top of the cone, out of which a blunt self righting spike can come up. This is powered by low pressure pneumatics. Due to weight constraints, it can probably only self right about ten times.

Features: Near the top of the cone are holes. These aren€™t just for reducing weight, as each hole leads to a small aluminium box which is full of pink confetti. As the shell spins, this should be strewn out, allowing Sakura to fight in a cloud of cherry blossoms.

Representing: Japan. Duh

Change the psi on mine to 500psi so it actually can be built.

Okay clusterbots is now full, however if more people still want to enter i will consider letting them.

I want to enter my robot Sir Spinalot by whatever spot available.

Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

I want to enter my new bot:

Triplicate Bot

3 part clusterbot
All parts are the same.
Shape: Cube
Speed: 30mph
Dimensions: 5cm high by 20cm long by 20cm wide
Colour: Silver
Ground Clearence: 0.1mm ground clearence
Turning Circle: 0
Weapon: 1 Powerful axe on each side of each clusterbot making 12 axes in total.
Armour: 6mm titanium
Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 3x NiCad packs
Srimech: the axes, and a steel bar connected to a Mag Snapper on top of each clusterbot

Notes: One of my first bots. A very tough, yet fast, 3-part, and deadly clusterbot.

[corsair_lightning]

Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

Also have it in the World Champs representing the USA.

[RogueTwoRobots]

Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

Theres no way youll fit two Magmotors, three nicad packs and four axe mechanisms in a 20cmx20cmx5cm cube.

Just for the record, I have a little 3kg sumobot that I entered in the UK Robotic Games sumo which was 20cmx20cmx20cm roughly and I struggled to fit in two cordless drill motors and two small drill nicad packs into that size. Need to revise your dimensions mate

[kodster]

Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

Ah, flaming to do, how lovely...

3 part clusterbot

Okay.

All parts are the same.

Okay.

Shape: Cube

A cube is a shape that has its dimensions equal to each other. Your dimensions dont quite work out, so you might wanna change this.

Speed: 30mph
Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 3x NiCad packs

Impossible. You will never get that speed out of a 33.3kg (thats what Im assuming their weight is since you DIDNT SPECIFY ANY WEIGHT AT ALL) bot, and especially not with 2 S28s. Keep the Mags, add another NiCad Battlepack, and drop the speed to about 12 or 15 or something around there. Should be decent.

Dimensions: 5cm high by 20cm long by 20cm wide

Oh...god. Those dimensions are so unrealistic I cant believe you actually thought they were legit. First of all, S28-400 MagMotors are 7.5cm in diameter, which defeats your current height, so Id recommend a height of something over 10cm. As for length and width, Id drastically enlarge them. 55 and 55 each would do it.

Colour: Silver

Okay.

Ground Clearence: 0.1mm ground clearence

You will have the hardest time moving around. Even 2mm is pushing it. Go for 5mm or over.

Turning Circle: 0

Okay.

Weapon: 1 Powerful axe on each side of each clusterbot making 12 axes in total.

So many things wrong there. 4 axes on each bot will most certainly put them overweight. Go for one axe each. Whats powering the axes? Whats the axe head made of?

Armour: 6mm titanium

A bit too much. Go for 3 or 4mm.

Srimech: the axes, and a steel bar connected to a Mag Snapper on top of each clusterbot

You dont need the steel bar if you have an axe on top.

I would REALLY revise those stats, Mark.

Updates:

Dimensions: 10cm high, 55cm long, and 55cm wide.
Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 4x NiCad Battlepacks.
Armour: 4mm Titanium.
Ground Clearence: 5mm
Weapon: 1 Hammer on top of each bot. The hammer has spikes on it to prevent each part from turning over on its side.
Srimech: Hammer.
Weight: 100kg. Each part weighs 33.infinite 3kgs

Now is it accurate?

Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

Not really, what is powering the hammers for instance?

[corsair_lightning]

Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

A Mag Snapper.

[leorcc]

Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

Ok, you have dumbfounded me, what is a Mag Snapper?

[corsair_lightning]

Martyn’s RW Extreme 2008

A Mag Snapper is an ordinary burst motor with Magmotor decals on it. It also has a built in pneumatic system to create more power. Plus the pneumatics cause the Mag Snapper to be ultra quiet.
