The Tribute To The Tim Tribute Tournament

[joey_picus]

Right, due to exam revision (more its depressing effects than any volume thereof), Im holding off writing serious fights until I have some stress-free time to concentrate on things more. Despite this, I want to keep writing for some insane reason...

So, I present the TRIBUTE TO THE TIM TRIBUTE TOURNAMENT, which sadly died a death when Leo entered it. I need some robots; writing 100 million battles will be difficult so Ill ask for 8 people to enter 2 each, preferably new or newish creations. The rules are in theory the standard ones, although I wont be checking anything and randomness, rule breaking and stupidity are all heartily welcomed.

The format is: God knows. There will be fights, although precisely what form they will take is unclear. I may be serious, I may not, I may even mess around with Arenas of Destruction on my PS2 to get some of the results. Ill decide when I actually have to do the things The one thing I know for sure is: There shall be weird things, possibly within the laws of physics.

The arena will be the RW series 3 arena, or bear a vague resemblance to it anyway. Any questions, either feel free to ask or shamelessly exploit the loophole left by me not stating.

Since its nearly one in the morning over here, Ill probably regret saying this, but...GET ENTERING!

Actually, is it ok if i change my entries for this tourn? I would like to enter Weapon Synergy and Woodpecker if I may.

Name: Woodpecker
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 4mm Hardox.
Speed: 18mph - powered by 2 Sinclair C5 motors running at 24v.
Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, a rounded back and scooped front.
Weapon 1: A cam-driven axe mechanism, powered by a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor. (Interchangeable).
Weapon 2: A flipping arm, powered by a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor. (Interchangeable).
Strengths: Fastest axe mechanism currently around (hypothetically of course, this is only a vapour after all€¦ )
Weaknesses: The weapon itself is not very destructive, but mainly shows dominance in terms of number of this it can do.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front due to a sharpened Titanium front and side skirts, 4mm at rear.
Srimech: Invertible, but the axe mechanism has enough power in it to right it back onto its wheels.
Notes: The axe-head is based on Dominator 2€™s, and has small Titanium spikes on each end to aid in self righting. The axe-head is made of Titanium, with a 5mm Hardox tip. The flipper arm is made entirely out of 10mm Aluminium. The robot has 4 wheels get up in a skid steer system and runs off 2 Sinclair C5 motors @ 24v. Each side is connected to each other by a heavy duty rubber belt, and the wheels are made entirely out of Vulcalore. The weapon systems run off a 60v Briggs and Stratton 11kW motor geared down 15:1. The motor is connected to a cam wheel which in turn moves the weapon up and down on its pivot. When running at 60v, the weapon can move just under 5 times a second. The emphasis is not on power, but in dominance and aggression.

Name: Weapon Synergy (5-WAY CLUSTERBOT!!! )
Weight: 100kg (Each part weighs 20kg)
Armour: 3mm Titanium with 4mm Polycarbonate panelling.
Power: Each part is powered by 2 x S28-150 MagMotors running at 24v, giving each part 6HP of pushability.
