Eye Of The Robot - Series 5

Actually, to be honest Martijn, that was exactly how I felt. Im willing to give him one last chance, but if this turns into another hypo, Im not entering EOTR6. Regardless of where I finish.

Eye Of The Robot - Series 5

Sorry to be a pain changing my line-up again Paul, but do you mind if I replaced Brutalis 3.0 with Hatchet: Evo, as I noticed that I have almost all lifters/flippers. If you allow me to make this last change my list would be:
1) LockJaw
2) Beta-Rex
3) Apocalypse
4) Werewolf
5) Collateral Damage
6) Hatchet: Evo
7) Panic Attack
Storm II

Given that my exams have finished, I should have all the time I need, and given that I made those hypos because of those exams, I should be fine. And I agree with Joey - exams really do start to bore you. There are only a number of times before you can quote Shakespeare, or give an angle for a triangle, or do any of that before you lose all sense of fun - even one of the hardest working people in my class said that she believed them to be a waste of time.

to be fair Paul, I believe this is the first time you actually name your exams as an excuse for those hypos

and if you have so much time, why not just continue all stars and the belt?

Eye Of The Robot - Series 5

My team, representing Swansea, are:

1) Weapon Synergy
2) Requiem
3) Supreme Glory Omega
4) Manic Monsoon
5) Sonic Boom
6) Pure Evil : ROTD
7) Typhoon 2 (S7 version)
Gemini (meh, why not? )

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.
Speed: Each part travels at 12mph.
Strengths: Ability to work as a group. Variable weaponry, albeit at a low level.
Weaknesses: Weak armoury and lightweight.

Part 1: Axe
Shape: Tornado Box
Weapon 1: Axe powered by lightweight pneumatics running at 1000psi. The axe is double-headed and has a spike at one end and a blunt mass at the other end.
Ground Clearance: 1cm all around.
Srimech: Axe self rights.

Part 2 : Flip
Shape: Wedge with sloped sides.
Weapon 1: Flipper powered by lightweight pneumatics running at 1000psi. Contains 2kg of liquid CO2.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front. 1cm at sides and rear.
Srimech: Flipper.

Part 3: Disc
Shape: Wedge with sloped sides.
Weapon 1: Vertical spinning disc weighing 5kg on the back of the robot, powered by a S28-150 MagMotor running at 24v and geared down 4:1.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, 1cm sides and rear.
Srimech: Invertible.

Part 4 : Ram
Shape: Tornado Box
Weapon 1: Assorted ramming spikes at the front of the robot.
Ground Clearance: 1cm all around.
Srimech: Invertible.

Part 5: Claw
Shape: TAN shaped
Weapon 1: Pneumatic claws which grab the opponents. Running at 1000psi.
Ground Clearance: 4mm at front, 1cm at sides and rear.
Srimech: Invertible.

Robot Name: Requiem.
Length/Width/Height: 100cm x 40cm x 35 - 25cm (the robot€™s height decreases from the front to the back).
Shape: Invertible box with a section cut out of the front, which houses the spinning drum. The rear of the robot is rounded and each side has a thick Hardox spike, stopping it from resting on its side.
Weight: 100KG
Motivation: 2 foam filled go kart wheels made of uber-tough rubber.
Speed: About 18mph
Weapon: The main weapon is a 20kg spinning drum, powered by 2 Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motors. 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 10kJ of force when spinning at 2400RPM, and increases to an astonishing 243kJ when spinning at 2:1 gearing (12000RPM). However to avoid self destructing, the spin will only spin at a maximum speed of 4800RPM.
Drive: 24v Sinclair C5 motors.
Power: 4 x 24v NiCad batteries.
Armour: 5mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, 7mm all around.
Turning Circle: 0M
Srimech: Invertible.

Name: Supreme Glory Omega
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 20mm Lexan and LexiGuard compound and 4mm Grade 5 Titanium skirts.
Speed: 18mph, running of 2 x S28-400 MagMotors running at 24v.
Shape: Box shaped with Ti skirts on each side.
Weapon 1: An 11kg Aluminium alloy axe powered by liquid Nitrogen running at 1000psi. The axe mechanism is a rack and pinion system, using a 100mm stroke, 80mm bore pneumatic cylinder.
Strengths: Strong armour and very manoeuvrable.
Weaknesses: Axe only works if something is in front or behind the robot.
Ground Clearance: 0mm all around due to skirts.
Srimech: The axe self rights the robot.
Notes: The 2 wheels are made from Ti/V alloy and coated in Vulcalore to aid in traction. The robot is covered in 20mm Lexan and LexiGuard compound. The axe weighs a total of 11kg and is shaped like Excaliburs axe from series 3 of Robot Wars. This shape is designed to focus all the force on a single point, meaning it can pierce through armour easily. To stop the robot hopping around when the axe is fired, the robot incorporates a vacuum system. This system basically sucks SG0 to the ground and is mainly used when fighting pushers or robots with superior pushing power. This mechanism can be knocked on and off during the match. The robot carries 4kg of liquid Nitrogen on board and has roughly 35 hits per fight. The axe can come down with roughly 2 tonnes of force at the tip, meaning that the axe could knock certain opponents out in one hit.

Name: Manic Monsoon
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 5mm Hardox all over.
Speed: Roughly 28mph
Shape: Box wedge with side skirts and rounded back.
Weapon 1: A linear actuator powered lifter running by a 4 bar system at 24v. This can lift 200kg easily.
Weapon 2: A small strip of Grade 5 Titanium on the front wedge, which gives 0mm ground clearance.
Strengths: Powerful drive and good strong weapon
Weaknesses: A bit too fast and hard to control when at full speed.
Ground Clearance: 0mm on front and sides, 1cm at back.
Srimech: Invertible, but can self right using the lifter if wanted to.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 B42-500 MagMotors running at 60v. This gives Monsoon approx 60HP! The robot has a total of 6 wheels, 3 on each side. Each side is linked together by a set of heavy duty belts, giving 0m turning circle and the manoeuvrability of a 2 wheeled robot, and each wheel is coated in Vulcalon. The front wedge is angled at 42.5 degrees, meaning that it is not too steep or too shallow. The lifting arm is powered by a S28-150 MagMotor, and is made from 7075 Aluminium. The lifter itself can lift a total of 200kg, and can self right the robot if needs be. The side skirts are made from 4mm Titanium and are hinged.

Name: Sonic Boom
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 1cm thick Hardox wheel hubs, 5mm Hardox axe head and 5mm thick axe pole. The axle joining the 2 wheels is made from 6mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
Speed: 28mph.
Shape: The robot is an axlebot based around Stinger.
Weapon 1: A momentum powered axe, which can come down with 800kgs of force.
Strengths: Hard to grab hold off and very tough armour. Great manoeuvrability.
Weaknesses: Poor pushing power.
Ground Clearance: 10mm.
Srimech: The robot is invertible.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 LEM 130s, giving 28mph top speeds. The wheels are made from aircraft grade Aluminium, with Hardox wheel hubs and thick rubber treads. All the electronics, batteries and wiring are hidden inside the wheels. The 1cm thick wheel hubs should mean that nothing can damage the innards of Sonic Boom. To save weight on the robot, the wheels are only 20cm high, but are also 20cm wide, increasing traction on the arena floor. The axe head is modelled on Stingers axe from series 4 of Robot Wars, but is a lot tougher due to the 50cm, 5mm Hardox axe pole and 5mm Hardox axe head. The axe is momentum powered, meaning that when the robot stops moving from a charge, the axe swings over head and hits what ever is in front of it. This method of weaponry is not accurate most of the time, but when it does hit, it can cause a lot of damage. The 10mm ground clearance all over the robot should stop it getting stuck on arena obstacles.

Name: Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 7mm Hardox ring spinner and 4mm Titanium flipper/wedge.
Speed: 8mph
Shape: It is a ring spinner with a front wedge.
Weapon 1: The main body is a ring spinner made from 7mm Hardox, with Titanium teeth all over it. It is powered by a LEM130 motor at 48v geared down 3:1. This means the body can reach a top speed of 2400RPM. The disc weighs a total of 38kg.
Weapon 2: A spinning kinetic powered flipper, based on Team Whyachi€™s €œWarrior SKF€. It uses the kinetic energy from the disc to power the flipper, meaning it can flip with a total of 298KJ of energy.
Strengths: Unique and powerful weaponry. Good control.
Weaknesses: Takes a long time to self right due to the disc needing to spin up successfully.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and sides of flipper, 5mm at back due to ring spinner.
Srimech: The flipper can successfully self right the robot.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 800w 36v DC motors giving 8mph top speeds. The wheels are made from Vulcalon, and have screws embedded in them to help gain traction on the arena floor. The ring spinner is powered by a LEM130 motor at 48v geared down 3:1. This means the body can reach a top speed of 2400RPM. There are 15 1€ cubed Titanium teeth all over the horizontal spinner, giving it 298KJ of energy on impact. The flipper works because there is an eccentric land on top of the spinning ring. The top link connected to the flipper plate has a groove in it, when fired the top link engages with the spinner land and pulls backward flipping the plate up. At the front of the flipper there is a 4mm Titanium €œnose€ with a sharpened edge designed to get under all skirts and ground clearances. All the electrics are kept within the 1m diameter of the ring spinner.
