Can we call this the teapot tourney?

It begins with a T, ends in a T and is full of T!

[joey_picus]

The Tribute To The Tim Tribute Tournament

Yes, and I shall throw T at the next person to enter serious robots...

The Tribute To The Tim Tribute Tournament

Minesweeper
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Tornado (S6)
Colour: Silver, with MINESWEEPER written on the sides.
Dimensions: 91cm x 86cm x 25cm
Drive: 4x Bosch 750 motors, powered by 5x 36V NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 4 Titanium/Vanadium alloy wheels with Vulkanized rubber tyres.
Armour: 6mm Hardox
Speed: 17mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and back due to scoops, and 0mm at sides with skirts (5mm at sides without skirts)
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon: 2 snowplow-like scoops, one at the front and one at the back. The scoops have a little bit of vertical mobility to give me 0mm ground clearance at the front and back without being stranded.
Srimech: invertible

Roveress
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Growler, with a pink bow on top of his head.
Colour: Brown, with black and white splotches in some areas.
Dimensions: 100cm x 70cm x 40cm

Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, 5mm at back, and 8mm at sides
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon: The bottom Jaw is shaped like a wedge, and fixed to where I have a 0mm ground clearance at the front. Once a robot is stuck on the wedge, which has Mute-style barbs on it, the top Jaw, powered by a 2kg 1000psi Nitrogen tank, comes down with 5 tonnes of force. The weapon is designed to clamp so I can pit them, not to damage them, although it can damage 5mm titanium.
Srimech: An electric lifting arm, powered by a Bosch drill motor. the sides of the robot are rounded to prevent stranding, and they can roll the robot back on its wheels.

Heres Nitro-Gene 4.0s partner in crime (Sly Cooper When the hell will we see that 4th game - come on Sucker Punch! Just forget inFamous, DO SLY 4! :blush

KNYFE

€ WEIGHT: 100kg.

€ ARMOUR: 6mm Hardox monocoque on the rear, top, front and sides. 4mm Titanium on the base. Inside, I have 4cm of Vulkanised rubber to make sure its good when facing spinners.

€ SHAPE: An invertible box shape, with varing front ends. The sides and rear meet at a fine triangualar point

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM200€™s at 48V = 50HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 6 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (H) 30CM (W) 80CM

€ COLOUR: The body is silver with golden edges, and name on top with thck gold outlines for each letter

€ WEAPONRY: Knyfe has weaponry that can be changed around to suite the robots it is facing.
1: A standard concave scoop made from 15mm Hardox, impossible to bend or scratch, and perfect for stopping FBS€™
2: A pair of Hardox spikes with diamond-sharp tips. These spikes are on a hindge, and will flip over if the robot is flipped over, and because these spikes scrape the floor, it€™s impossible to get under it whilst using them.
3: Front wedges, mounted in a similar way to those on forklift trucks, reaching out 10cm, and made of 8mm G5 Titanium, and of course getting thinner as it reaches the end of the wedges. The point of these is to ground other robots on them, and make them easier to push without resistance.
4: A 10mm Titanium static scoop with an extension. This is for getting under other rammers.
5: A 15mm Hardox wedge hindged at 42* with an extension, perfect for deflecting vertical spinners and getting under other robots.

€ SPEED: 20mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0-8mm. The front will always be 0, and the sides and rear are protected by 7mm Titanium skirts on a rotary joint that joint at the hindges.

€ STRENGTH: Powerful drives and interchangeable weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: Wheels might be targets for axes and crushers.
