Eye Of The Robot - Challenge Belt

Id like to enter:

Holepunch
Weight: 100kg

Length: 100cm
Width : 70cm
Height: 40cm at the top of the beak, 28cm at the top of the armour.

Armour: 40mm Hdpe and 8mm 7075 aluminium baseplate.

Speed: 13mph - powered by 2 wheelchair motors running overvolted at 36v. with 150mm wheels
Shape: Razer-esqe looks, wedge at the front, a bit more boxy with rounded edges at the back.

Weapon: A Pneumatic crusher (yes i said Pneumatic) with a 250mm bore 120mm stroke full pressure 7075 aluminium 15mm wallthickness ram, giving a massive 25+ tonnes of force on the ram. this is levered down 2:1 giving 12.5 tonnes of force at the tip.
The Ram is fed by 4 burkert valves from 4 corners of the ram providing maximum flow to the ram. The beak is retracted by 2 gas springs at the front under the beak still protected from the sides.

Strengths: Very fast working beak, with tremendous force.The gear ratios on wheelchair motors provide a lot of pushing power all be it not very fast.

Weaknesses: This thing guzzles gas like a Hummer sucks petrol. I only have 5 to 7 good bites before the gasbottle starts to drain depending on the weather. To save weight I had to go for a slow drive. Selfrigting is also not garantueed.

Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front due to a sloaped front that scrapes the floor. 10 mm at the rear.

Srimech: when lucky it rolls over when the beak is in top position due to the low centre of gravity.

Notes: Still in development, so it is probably going to have some teething problems.

Ill give you a deal - you can post an old design of yours now, but if by Sunday, the entries arent all in, THEN Ill let you enter the new robot. Is that fine with you?

VI in roman numerals is 6 Paul!
Its Seung Mina IV-4.
Looks like you just typed them wrong, and Gulp doesnt have a ! on the end.
Sorry to be picky but my SLAM! Family does and I dont want more bots with !s on the end.

For Glasgow!

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)

Pic in the profile as ever.

And my robot will be called Opened by Transfer, once I have played with some Lego to make sure the drive system actually works. All Im saying is that the drive isnt going to be what you would call normal :wink:

Thank goodness I have hard armour. May I also say it has shock-proofing?

What do you mean by Thank goodness I have hard armour? You chose it - and by the way, you can have shock-proofing.
