  • Eye Of The Robot - Challenge Belt

    Seriously, is it worth predicting?

    COUGH*WEDGE DEVO*COUGH

    Comment


    • Eye Of The Robot - Challenge Belt

      Tactics: Ram Wedge Devo, and hope I can keep ramming him, axeing him, and flipping him enough to where it goes to a judges decision. If lucky enough to get under him, run towards the wall and lift him OOTA.

        Lift him OOTA - how?

          Use the electric lifting arm, and lift him OOTA.

            Good luck with that

              Mark- we can only assume that lifter of yours is the same as Mortis was. That was back in the 80kg era- your lifter will barely right your 100kg machine, let alone flip another OOTA.

                I predict a repeat of Gravity vs. Dantomkia.

                With Wedge Devo filling the role of Gravity, that is. :wink:

                  Paul, dont worry if the match you write here is short, it would be anyway!

                    Now, looking at these two, I think even I could guess who the winner would be...

                    MATCH: TWO
                    Wedge Devolution vs. Cyrillium Mach 2

                    +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 Texas, USA, Cyrilium Mach 2!!
                    -1>Entered by Mark Elam
                    Named after a fictional element created by Mark, he plans to make Cyrilium€™s power absolute fact! Shaped like a box-wedge shaped design, powered by 4 x S28-400 MagMotors to motivate 4 Rubber treaded wheels with Aluminium Boron Carbide hubs. For weapons it has a powerful diamond-tipped axe with the ability to pierce thin Hardox armour, as well as a lifting arm for lifting and self-righting reasons. 4mm Hardox, with 1mm Titanium bolted underneath provide armoury for this design, with 17mph being the speed. Despite all this though, the lifter may not be strong enough to overturn an opponent, and it may be flipped due to the 4mm clearance on the sides and rear.

                    Booth #2: Mark E

                    Roboteers, stand by!!!

                    3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

                    Cyrillium moves off the start-line quickly, but Wedge speeds out nearly as quickly, and goes on a collision course with Cyrillium! CLANG! Wedge slams underneath the body of Cyrillium, with the axe firing away against the Wedge armour€¦but not even worrying Steven, as he powers Cyrillium towards the wall€¦FLIP! Up goes Cyrillium, but it only lands on its back, as the lifter kicks in, hoisting the less experienced competitor back onto its wheels, BUT WEDGE CHARGES IN AGAIN FROM BEHIND! Wedge is underneath Cyrillium, but doesn€™t seem to be carrying him towards the wall - it€™s towards the disc on the gold square! Mark is firing his axe repeated in attempts to break loose, but now Wedge fires a single powerful flip, and Cyrillium is flipped onto its back, axe in the fired position, and NOW WEDGE PUSHES IT INTO THE DISC! The side-armour of Cyrillium takes a dent in the side of its body, and now the lifter activates again, and Wedge pushes on again€¦CLANG! The lifting arm flies away from Cyrillium, and now Mark does the next best thing - run! Wedge is in good pursuit, and slams underneath the front of Cyrillium where the lose axe is hanging. Mark now knows what has happened - the CO2 pipe for the axe is broken, and it€™ll no longer fire! Wedge is underneath, nearer and nearer towards the wall€¦FLIP! Rack up another OOTA for Wedge Devolution!

                    Result:
                    Cyrillium Mach 2 falls down a gear - and reverses away from the competition!
                    WEDGE DEVOLUTION DEFENDS THE CHALLENGE BELT!!!

                    MATCH: THREE

                      *smacks Mark Elam upside the head before he can even complain* Dont even try it.

                      Wedge Devolution vs. Requiem

                      Wedge Devo to win its first belt.

                        Now this could be tricky.

                        Not much to do here but avoid the front drum at all costs and try to get underneath from the other sides. The side spikes, rounded rear and lack of skirts should hopefully make that rather easy. Try outshoving it to the nearest wall and try to toss it out the ring.
                        If things dont go to plan, try and push/lure it into the killsaws or flywheels. Ill be able to rack up some Damage points, or even break the drum.

                          Ill go for the Wedge to keep its belt forever here.

                            Great news - the next match is up, and its possibly my best match in this competition by far!

                            MATCH: THREE
                            Wedge Devolution vs. Requiem

                            -1>Entered by Daniel Stickler
                            No-one knows what this word means, but all we know is it€™s the best for the nastiest robot! Invertible box with a triangular section cut out of the front, which houses the 20kg spinning drum, powered by 2 Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motors. The 5mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy armour is quite tough to break. The weapon is capable of changing gears during a match. Originally, the drum spins at 2400RPM when geared down 10:1, but this can be increased to 2:1 at systematic intervals of 2 gearings (10:1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1 2:1). The 4mm Titanium drum is fitted with 2 horizontal Hardox bars, welded, screwed and riveted on to avoid them coming off. These are designed not only to flip, but to rip off skirts and armouring. The drum can hit with over 20kj of energy as it spins at 4800rpm. The rear of the robot is rounded and each side has a thick Hardox spike, stopping it from resting on its side. The drive motors are 24V Sinclair C5 motors, producing 18mph, and making a machine to be reckoned with!

                            Off speeds the deadly drummer robot, and storms into the centre of the arena, drum vicously spinning! Wedge however doesn€™t seem to be too worried at the moment, and plunges into drum head-first€¦and WEDGE IS STRAIGHT UNDERNEATH REQUIEM!! Daniel sees that Wedge now has the pushing power, and is pushing Requiem to the efge of arena at serious great speed as the rams push the flipper upwards€¦FLIP! Requiem spins 1.5ft into the air and lands on the arena wall! Requiem quickly regains traction - enough traction to move itself off the wall. Daniel powers up that drum once more and Wedge gives chase, but this time its Wedge caught out - and the spinning drum has its teeth latch onto it and flip over the Wedge shaped robot! A flick of the flipper and Wedge does a neat self-righting move to land back on its wheels and power again into the front of Requiem and gets that flipper under once again! Up goes Requiem, but it lands right on its wheels again, but Requiem still isn€™t fazed in the slightest, and attacks Wedge from the sides this time. The teeth catch onto Wedge€™s side-armour, and just tilt the Wedge shaped belt-holder onto its side, and now it hits the ground on its back€¦but Wedge immediately self-rights, and Requiem knocks it over again! Requiem tries to make another attack on the belt-holder, but this helps Wedge back onto its wheels! Requiem is intent on winning this and attacks the front of Wedge again, and now starts driving Wedge across the arena, forcing it against the far wall! But now Requiem drives up the wedge, and the flipper activates as Wedge is stacked upon the wall, and now Daniel starts to panic, trying to gain grip to drive off the wall. NO! There€™s no grip, and Wedge has come in, ready to gain another victory€¦FLIP! YES! OUT GOES REQUIEM! Wedge reverses into the centre of the ring, having claimed another victory, and a trophy!

                            Result:
                            Requiem requires the ability to be better!

                              Paul, I had changed the armour to 5mm Hardox before the fight.

                              No Matter. I wouldnt have needed more armour anyway.

                              Congrats Steve.
