The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008

[Guest]

Easter again...Its a good excuse to have a smashing twenty-four robot tourney!
Welcome to the Easter Bunny Tribute Championships here in the RW arena, as seen in RW7.The rules are the usual kind:
Weight- 100 kg wheels
110 kg shuffle/tracks
150 kg walkers
The tournament structure is also pretty simple.If you have seen the newblood tournament in RW extreme 2 theres no need to read the description, as its the same:
4 heats, each has 2 x 3 robot melees with 2 robots advancing to round 2, where there 2 x one-on-one battles.The winners go head-to-head in the heat final, and the four winners will come back for the grand final, where there will be two one-on-one matches with a play-off for third place and the final itself.
I need 6 people each to enter 4 robots.
You can have 2 vapoura and 2 realies, or 3 of one and 1 of the other, but you cant have ALL vapours or All realies.
Enter for the chance to win that elusive EASTER BUNNY TRIBUTE trophy!

not a bad way to kick off a tournament Liam, not bad at all

you might wanna structure the text a bit more, use fat letters, open spaces and the likes to make stuff a tad more readable, but the way you did it now does work for me

one question, what shall the arena be like?

Ill enter...

Name - Its the last thing on my mind
Weight - 100 Kg, aint gone though it with a fine tooth comb because I couldnt be bothered.

Ground Clearance - Rear end it is zero due to wedge, side skirts can be added to reduce the sides down to zero if need-be, and at the front it is a modest 10mm

Movement type - 4 Wheel drives the machine, with 2 S28-400 Magmotors at 24 volts providing the power.
Armour - 4mm Hardox.
Weaponry - Rear wedge and front X-axis €œI€ bar spinner, powered by another S28-400 Magmotor, designed to flip and damage at the same time.

TEAM BRAVEHEART
1. Wedge Devolution
2. Whirligig 4.5
3. E Clawdius Unum
4. Robochicken (RW7)

1. Wedge Devolution
SHAPE- low wedge with sloped rear
COLOUR- sleek and shiny silver
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 90cm X 75cm X 30cm
SPEED- 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front, 7mm for the rest of the robot. Fitted with Biohazard-style skirts on sides and rear, giving 0mm
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
WHEELS- inside robot, 4-wheel drive
POWER- 2 X LEM-130s; 2 x 12v 3amp NiCad packs, giving 36v @ 12amp
WEAPONS- As usual, the main weapon is a rear-hinged flipper. This is very similar to Chaos 2, except the blade at the bottom is bent ala Bigger Brother, allowing the flipper to have greater effect against bots with skirts or low centres of gravity. The flipper itself is powered by 2 X 80mm high pressure pneumatic rams, each running at 250psi. This should allow Wedge Devo to comfortably flip up to 1 tonne.
SRIMECH- The flipper can right the machine easily and the rear wedge should hopefully prevent a Chaos-style self-flip. Also, Wedge Devo is equipped with a grey semi-sphere on either side of robot to prevent it getting stuck on its side
NOTES- flashing red light on top of robot, flies Scotland flag
STRENGTHS- powerful flipper, fast, manoeuvrable, difficult to get underneath, tough armour, good traction
WEAKNESSES- could prove a bit tricky to control, limited CO2 (like all other flippers :P)

2. Whirligig 4.5 (sort of formerly Whirligig 4.0)
SHAPE- flat disc
COLOUR- gold with Mauler-style scary face on top. The face shows the direction of the robot.
WEIGHT- about 100kg (see bottom)
DIMENSIONS- 101.6cm diameter X 12.7cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 8mm
ARMOUR- 1.905 cm thick Grade 5 titanium
FEET- inside robot, uses 4 DrillZilla-style shuffling plates. These help prevent the bot being flung halfway across the ring on contact with another bot, ala Typhoon
POWER- 2 X S28-400s running on 36v. Uses 120 X NiCad cells at 36v, producing 12amps at 36v overall for drive and weapon power
WEAPONS- The main weapon on Whirligig is the spinning outer ring, fitted with 9 x Pussycat-style claws. The spinner is powered by an LEM-130 running at 36v. It can reach speeds of 1000rpm and produce up to 100kJ...more than enough to kill another bot at full speed.
As well as this, the power in the shuffling feet mean that Whirly can act as a pretty powerful pusher if the shell fails to work
SRIMECH- the robot is invertible and the blades prevent Whirly landing on his side
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, thanks to AJ, my first properly calculated machine
STRENGTHS- fast, manoeuvrable, very deadly weaponry, tough armour, scary face shows its direction, very good traction, cant be flung away on impact as easily as Typhoon
WEAKNESSES- so-so manoeuvrability, feet may prove vulnerable to crushers and axes

WEIGHT CHECK:
armour = 33.72kg (inc blades)
chassis, mounts, bracing etc = about 30kg
drive and weapon motors = 12kg overall
NiCads = about 15kg
feet = about 10kg overall

TOTAL WEIGHT = 100.72kg. Fits right into the roller limit, with the 1% error margin rule. Probably.

3. E Clawdius Unum (formerly Clawdius Decimus Murderous)
SHAPE- skirted wedge with small box section and rounded back
COLOUR- deep green with red shield emblazoned on the wedge, depicting a gold lion with a crown
WEIGHT- about 100kg
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 70cm X 40cm
SPEED- 14mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 0mm at sides and rear thanks to skirts (arranged in a Biohazard fashion, corner-to-corner), 10mm without
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
WHEELS- inside robot, 4-wheel drive
POWER- 2 X S28-400 MagMotors
WEAPONS- The main weapon, as ever, is the hydraulic diamond-tipped crushing claw. It is powered by a Vivoil pump with an 80mm x 40mm ram, with a 2kg tank for storing the hydraulics. The claw runs at 3000psi and, aided by the diamond tip, should be able to leave plenty of holes in another robot.
The front wedge also features a Firestorm-style blade and two flat spears to aid in getting under the opposition. The wedge itself is now home to several Mute-style barbs to help ensnare other robots.
SRIMECH- A forward-hinged pneumatic arm on either side, powered by a pair of linear actuators. The rounded rear also prevents the robot getting beached.
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, thanks to AJ, et tu, Brute? written on the underbelly
STRENGTHS- Quite nippy, good traction, powerful weapon, difficult to get underneath, fairly quick srimech
WEAKNESSES- so-so manoeuvrability

Heres the line-up:
Heat A:
Flick of the Wrist v Sithis v Robochicken
Worck v The Zenith v Calm Down Dear
Heat B:
Iron Awe 5 v Nitro-Gene 4.0 v Crimson Thunder
Sheer Heart Attack 2 v PCC v E Clawdius Unum

Whirligig 4.5 v Gravity v Storm II
Heat D:
Chaos 2 v Wedge Devolution v Another Night at the Bar
Super Gore Evo v MeCannibal 2.0 v Its the Last Thing on my Mind

[davids]

The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008

The Zenith looks evil, but those wedges on Worck would make it hard to turn quickly due to the added friction and with 4 wheel drive it looks rather balanced. Im not sure at what my 6 wheel drive will be like with double wheels at the back, but The Zenith looks evil with those wedges...

...therefore my tactics are to attack the house robots :-)

--------------------

Heat B:
Ah PCC, the robot designed when I was going though the stage of being high on drugs, so I am going to fit the so-called Pie-Tosser Flipper, get underneath either robot and try and flip them out of the arena

Heat C:
Go after Cats with Wheels, Kody want to team up?

Heat D:
Drive into Super Gore Evo with the I bar at full speed and try and cause some damage, dodge out of the way of MeCannibal, although those spin-ups speeds seem too fast.

Flick of the Wrist v Sithis v Robochicken

Danny, shall we show this chicken whos boss?:wink:

[paulc]

The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008

WORCKs tactics are to ram under Calm Down Dear and drive into The Zenith as fast as I can. The thing about my wedges is that they reduce the amount of shock going through to the rest of the robot, so if The Zenith does hit me, I wont self-destruct so easily.

In the other battle, Robochicken shall go out.

Dont you want to help me take out the house robots?

Flick of the Wrist V SITHIS V Robochicken.
Sounds good to me, Martijn. Id suggest the nice, simple tactic of shoving Robochicken onto me so I can rip it apart.
