Um...
I have never fought in an EOTR competition, and in the annihilator, I was the first one out!

Tricky. Very, very tricky.

Keep away from the front and aim for the corners of the skirts. Flip Rupture over, get underneath, shove it to the walls and get it OOTA before it can properly self-right. If penetrating the skirts proves difficult, Ill try getting round the sides and pushing it into the killsaws or flywheels. Even if they dont help me get under Rupture, Ill still rack up a few Damage points.

Alright I might as well be the last person to sign up. Heres my bot:


Name: Secret

Shape: Very low invertible box.

Colour: Body cyan, skirts light green, disc white with grey teeth.

Speed: 12mph

Weight: 100kg

Armour: 7mm titanium, 5mm titanium skirts

Drive: 2 S28-400 MagMotors running on 24 volts

Power: 4 NiCad Battlepacks running on 24 volts

Motivation: 2 wheel drive, Vulkalon rubber on the wheels for traction

Ground Clearance: 5mm under side and rear skirts.

Turning Circle: 0

Dimensions: 105cm x 70cm x 10cm

Weapons: Horizontal disc running on 2 S28-400 MagMotors on 24v. The disc is made of hardox, has a diameter of 60cm and weighs 17.5kg. The two 15cm long teeth are also made of hardox and weigh 2.25kg each, so the entire disc weighs 22kg, and thanks to that KE calculator, it produces 97.64kJ. Has a spin-up time of about 4.5 seconds.

Srimech: Invertible.

Strengths: Destructive weapon, good all-rounder otherwise.

Weaknesses: Tires can be hit by axes and crushers, high spin-up time for disc.

At last - the first battle of the Challenge Belt, where the ancient old clash of Steven and AJ occurs once more, this time for the Chain-Mail belt of E.O.T.R experience. Here we go!

MATCH: ONE
Wedge Devolution vs. Rupture

+1>From Glasgow, Scotland, Wedge Devolution!!
-1>Entered by Steven McGregor
Welcome one of the most simplistic but effective vapourbots ever! It€™s a low, sleek 4mm Hardox protected wedge, powered by 2 x LEM130€™s for 18hp in the drive! 16mph is the speed, and flipping is its need with the classic rear-hinged flipper design The flipper itself is powered by 2 X 80mm high pressure pneumatic rams, each running at 250psi. This should allow Wedge to comfortably flip up to 1000kg at the tips, and performing high 1.5 to 3ft flips on the opposition is highly likely! The 7mm ground clearance is protected on ALL sides by BioHazard style skirts, and a front extension to get under everything from other extensions to skirts! It can self-right easily, but with only 2kg worth of gas on board, it could run out of power quite early!

+1>From Bourne, Lincolnshire, Rupture!!
-1>Entered by AJ
There€™s about to be an almighty explosion, and it€™s coming from Lincolnshire! Rupture adopts a low box shape and also contains a factor that gives it ultimate durability, having been fashioned from nuclear fall-out shelters with a 4mm Hardox monocoque construction front hindged at 45*, deflecting spinner hits and getting right under its opponent. For weapons, it has a lifting arm, around 600mm in width, which is hinged at the rear and runs down the front wedge ending in a flat platform running flush to the ground. It is operated by an S28-400 motor run at 24v and geared at 300:1. The idea is to not produce devastating flips, but something that can keep rolling the opponent over and over. It can lift up to full height in under a second and is designed to last the length of a fight, which is an advantage for fighting flippers. MagMotors provide the drive and 15mph is the speed and 12hp is the power, and the skirts of 5mm Ti/V alloy protect the 10mm clearance, but any more powerful pushers may put pay to it!

Booth #1: Steven M
Booth #2: AJ

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

The sound of rubber squealing as Wedge and Rupture have their wheels try to gain grip on the steel floor, as they burst from their starting boxes. Steven moves out, ever so slightly faster than Rupture, and both robots now crash into each other! Wedge is powering on, and seems to have quickly got Rupture back against the wall, and fires the flipper€¦NO! AJ isn€™t on the weaponry, as thus that was a wasted flip! Wedge now pushes on for another attack, but those motors in Rupture pushes on, and now we see that Rupture is under now! AJ pushes on, lifter ready to raise, and surely and properly, Wedge rolls over! The Scot lands on its back, and Rupture now pushes him, but only for a few yards as Wedge fires its great flipper to flick the great Wedge Devolution back onto its wheels, and powers forward to ram its extension against those tough skirts€¦UNDER! AND OVER! Up soars Rupture, flying 1.5ft into the air and landing right near Wedge, who is under Rupture once more! Steven is performing another fly-high thrust onto its enemy, before it crashes down€¦however, this time Rupture rolls away, and drives off as the lifter kicks in, self-righting the flipped robot! It€™s teetering back the right way up€¦but in storms Wedge to knock it back onto its back! Rupture€™s lifter again erects to full height, and finally we see Rupture back the correct way upwards. Rupture now moves forward, but a stylish turn to the right means that a charging Wedge just powers straight past it, and now AJ puts all the power into those high traction wheels to slam under Steven€™s skirts! The lifter comes in, and over goes Wedge, and now Rupture pushes in across the arena it the direction of the pit release switch! BANG! The pit is released, but so is Wedge - it€™s self-righted, and it€™s getting away from Rupture! AJ is putting on the speed, but Steven turns aggressive, and spins around, the blade siding underneath Rupture as we see the powerful Rupture being moved across the WreckTaGon by Wedge, as Wedge powers it towards the arena flywheels. BANG! Rupture is flipped over, a skirt torn right off€¦and now Steven seeks a victory now it has Rupture where it wants it€¦FLIP! Rupture€™s down and out, and Wedge reverses into the centre of ring and spins in victory!

Result:
Rupture erupts and explodes in a firery fury!

PREDICTIONS:
Wedge to break down at the start, however Cyrilium will simultaneously suffer a sixteen ton weight falling on it and killing it, necessitating a rematch.

In the rematch, Cyrilium will last about a minute before being propped up against the wall and thrown out by the Wedge.

[steven_mcg]

Eye Of The Robot - Challenge Belt

Hooray! One down!

Cyriliums essentially a wheeled Mortis from what the stats tell me. Same tactics as before. Aim for the sides and flip it over. The electric arm will take a second or two to right Cyrilium, so dart to the rear before it can and shove it to the nearest wall for an OOTAing.
