  • Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

    After Liams mysterious departure (without reason), Ive been advised by Kody that we need to do the sign-ups again. Here we are:

    EYE OF THE ROBOT - SERIES 5

    I first started fan-fiction writing in 2007, with E.O.T.R Series 1:

    This was an achievement for me, with Series 1 having 72 robots, 71 losing, but one great robot winning called Killotine: EVO, belonging to Steven McGregor. Killotine intended to keep the crown, but he couldn€™t keep onto it, but another Steven McGregor robot was there to grab onto the title, and it got there by using its mighty ring of doom and using his 9 teeth to wreck carnage, as Whirligig 4.0 bashed its way to greatness! However, Whirligig nor Steven could keep the crown on his head, and instead It went to a rushing flip master belonging to Alex Holt called Kali! Kali wasn€™t able to defend the title, and the cup was taken by a powerful axe from Canada called Intrigue. Intrigue may bewilder us all again, but can he win again?

    The line-up is going to be like this

    HEATS

    R1 - 2 x 3 ROBOT MELLES, TWO GO THROUGH
    R2 - 2 x 1 ON 1, TWO ROBOTS GOES THROUGH
    R3 - 1 x 1 ON 1, ONE ROBOT GOES THROUGH

    SEMI-FINALS

    R4 - 4 x 1 ON 1, FOUR ROBOTS GO THROUGH
    R5 - 2 x 1 ON 1, TWO ROBOTS GO THROUGH

    GRAND FINAL

    R6 - 2 x 1 ON 1, TWO ROBOTS GO THROUGH

    PLAY-OFF - 1 x ONE ON ONE

    R7 (GRAND FINAL) - ONE ON ONE

    Now for the arena:

    The Arena

    The €˜WreckTaGon€™ is a hexagon shaped arena with three starting squares, coloured gold, green and blue. Originally, it had very little in the way of hazards, and still does, but these are very deadly - we still have the flipping spikes, and we also have the impaling spikes, set in sets of 5 in each corner of the arena, each made of Hardox and designed to cause serious damage. The pit release button for this arena is located on the bottom right side of the arena, with the actual pit being a mere 1meter away from it. Added hazards include the saws mounted into the floor to throw other robots away, and vertical flywheels behind each starting square - they weigh 50kg and spin at 1200rpm, each giving 50kj each. The arena is indestructible, with the floor being made of 50mm Hardox, with 3mm of polished Stainless Steel over the top of that, making the floor impossible to damage and VERY SLIPPERY! The walls are also made of 50mm Hardox, and are 65cm high, giving everyone the ability to flip someone OOTA! The arena (from a birds-eye view) is 5metres down and 7metres wide.

    The Entry-Rules

    € I need 12 people to enter 8 robots
    € You must have a MAXIMUM of 4 real-robots and MINIMUM of 2 (And the realies must NOT be earlier than Series 5 of Robot Wars and Season 3 of BattleBots).
    € Wheeled robots must weigh a maximum 100kg
    € Shuffling/tracked robots weigh a maximum of 110kg
    € Walkers weigh a maximum 135kg
    € When you enter, give me your hometown (if outside of the UK, tell me the country as well), and a link for your robot stats, so I can find them!

    The Judging System

    Basically, Ive invented my own system - has 6 catogories, in which I mark out of 10. I then times that score in each section by how much the section is worth:

    Dominance = ? x 6
    Damage = ? x 5
    Aggression = ? x 4
    Stategy = ? x 3
    Control = ? x 2
    Style = ? x 1

    The Seeds

    With 16 heats of 6 robots, giving us 96 robots, we have 32 seeds, and 2 seeds per heat:

    HERE THEY ARE:

    +1>1. Intrigue
    2. Fire And Ice

                    Now this is just be, but this whole you must have real robots is just getting a bit tedious now, it was only ever really implemented to protect seedings in tournaments where realrobots were seeds and as thigns like E.o.t.R started off with that system its just a bit disinteresting.

                    The problem is I couldnt care less if a real robot Ive entered has done well or not because its nothing to do with my own designing prowess. Almost any (with a few notable exceptions) real robots never do do well.... Now to say no robots before from before series 5 removes even the amusement factor from it...

                    Anyway, with that out the way

                    Ramthrax 2
                    Kali
                    Tengu VII
                    Achilles
                    Black Panther
                    Slammer VI

                    then errr.....
                    Firestorm
                    Panic Attack 24k

                      I understand that Alex, but since Timmeh used to enter all real robots, I had to put a restriction on that, but I also wished for some people not to use all vapours, so it was in that area, but since Timmeh is gone, next time (if theres a next time) I will remove the rules on realies.

                        Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

                        Here we go again.

                        Representing Glasgow, Scotland:

                        TEAM BRAVEHEART:
                        1) Wedge Devolution
                        2) Killotine: EVO
                        3) Spin Dash Unleashed
                        4) Whirligig 4.5
                        5) E Clawdius Unum
                        6) Turbo Tails
                        7) Pussycat (RW7)
                        Mega Hurts L.T. (RW7)

                        STATS:
                        1. Wedge Devolution
                        SHAPE- low wedge with sloped rear
                        COLOUR- sleek and shiny silver
                        WEIGHT- about 100kg
                        DIMENSIONS- 90cm X 75cm X 30cm
                        SPEED- 16mph
                        TURNING CIRCLE- 0
                        GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front, 7mm for the rest of the robot. Fitted with Biohazard-style skirts on sides and rear, giving 0mm
                        ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
                        WHEELS- inside robot, 4-wheel drive
                        POWER- 2 X LEM-130s; 2 x 12v 3amp NiCad packs, giving 36v @ 12amp
                        WEAPONS- As usual, the main weapon is a rear-hinged flipper. This is very similar to Chaos 2, except the blade at the bottom is bent ala Bigger Brother, allowing the flipper to have greater effect against bots with skirts or low centres of gravity. The flipper itself is powered by 2 X 80mm high pressure pneumatic rams, each running at 250psi. This should allow Wedge Devo to comfortably flip up to 1 tonne.
                        SRIMECH- The flipper can right the machine easily and the rear wedge should hopefully prevent a Chaos-style self-flip. Also, Wedge Devo is equipped with a grey semi-sphere on either side of robot to prevent it getting stuck on its side
                        NOTES- flashing red light on top of robot, flies Scotland flag
                        STRENGTHS- powerful flipper, fast, manoeuvrable, difficult to get underneath, tough armour, good traction
                        WEAKNESSES- could prove a bit tricky to control, limited CO2 (like all other flippers :P)

                        http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/7555/wedgedevolutionza6.pnghttp://img166.imageshack.us/img166/7...olutionza6.png

                        2. Killotine: EVO
                        SHAPE- compact box-wedge ala Storm 2, rounded back
                        COLOUR- red
                        WEIGHT- about 100kg
                        DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 70cm X 35cm
                        SPEED- 16mph
                        TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
                        GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front with spatula, 10mm at sides and back. Skirts at sides and back produce 0mm.
                        ARMOUR- 3.25mm Hardox
                        WHEELS- inside robot, 4WD
                        POWER- 2 X LEM-130s; 2 x 12v 3amp NiCad packs, giving 36v @ 12amp
                        WEAPONS- The main weapon is the large pneumatic axe, composed of 3.5mm hardox. It is very similar to that of Killerhurtz and operates with a rack-and-pinion system like Terrorhurtz. Running on 160psi, the axe runs off an 80mm X 20mm ram and stores its gas in a 2kg main bottle and 1kg buffertank. If anything goes wrong with the axe, Killotine can use its great pushing power to simply ram its opponents to death.
                        SRIMECH- The axe. Even if it€™s already been fired while flipped, the axe can right itself ala Killerhurtz. Also, just like the original Killotine, the machine has a rounded back and a red semi-sphere on either side of robot to stop it getting beached.
                        NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, thanks to Tom, Aaron & AJ for helping with the design
                        STRENGTHS- Fast, dangerous weapon, good amount of traction, difficult to get under, quick srimech, nice and fast
                        WEAKNESSES- so-so turning, limited gas supply

                        http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8806/killotineevocw0.pnghttp://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8...tineevocw0.png

                        3. Spin Dash Unleashed (formerly Metal Sonic Spin Dash)
                        SHAPE- skirted box, with rounded sides and back.
                        COLOUR- dark blue bodywork, with red-and-white striped skirting.
                        WEIGHT- about 100kg
                        DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 75cm X 20cm
                        SPEED- 16mph
                        TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
                        GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm all round, 10mm at sides and rear without skirts.
                        ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
                        MOVEMENT- inner, 6WD
                        POWER- 2 x LEM-130s. These run at 36v and produce approximately 18hp.
                        WEAPONS- A horizontal Pussycat-style saw blade on the front. The blade is mounted on the underbelly ala Code:BLACK and is designed to chew up skirts and wheels. It is powered by an S28-150 Magmotor and runs at 3000rpm. Its 18hp and shape also makes it an excellent battering ram.
                        SRIMECH- invertible. The rounded sides and rear also prevent it getting beached.
                        NOTES- flies Scotland flag.
                        STRENGTHS- excellent traction, fast, tough armour, low weaponry, invertible
                        WEAKNESSES- untested, so-so manoueverability, saw blade less effective upside-down

                        PIC- http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5359/spindash6ta1.pnghttp://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5...indash6ta1.png

                        4. Whirligig 4.5 (sort of formerly Whirligig 4.0)
                        SHAPE- flat disc
                        COLOUR- gold with Mauler-style scary face on top. The face shows the direction of the robot.
                        WEIGHT- about 100kg (see bottom)
                        DIMENSIONS- 101.6cm diameter X 12.7cm
                        SPEED- 15mph
                        TURNING CIRCLE- 0
                        GROUND CLEARANCE- 8mm
                        ARMOUR- 1.905 cm thick Grade 5 titanium
                        FEET- inside robot, uses 4 DrillZilla-style shuffling plates. These help prevent the bot being flung halfway across the ring on contact with another bot, ala Typhoon
                        POWER- 2 X S28-400s running on 36v. Uses 120 X NiCad cells at 36v, producing 12amps at 36v overall for drive and weapon power
                        WEAPONS- The main weapon on Whirligig is the spinning outer ring, fitted with 9 x Pussycat-style claws. The spinner is powered by an LEM-130 running at 36v. It can reach speeds of 1000rpm and produce up to 100kJ...more than enough to kill another bot at full speed.
                        As well as this, the power in the shuffling feet mean that Whirly can act as a pretty powerful pusher if the shell fails to work
                        SRIMECH- the robot is invertible and the blades prevent Whirly landing on his side
                        NOTES- flies Scotland flag, thanks to AJ, my first properly calculated machine
                        STRENGTHS- fast, manoeuvrable, very deadly weaponry, tough armour, scary face shows its direction, very good traction, cant be flung away on impact as easily as Typhoon
                        WEAKNESSES- so-so manoeuvrability, feet may prove vulnerable to crushers and axes

                        WEIGHT CHECK:
                        armour = 33.72kg (inc blades)
                        chassis, mounts, bracing etc = about 30kg
                        drive and weapon motors = 12kg overall
                        NiCads = about 15kg
                        feet = about 10kg overall

                        TOTAL WEIGHT = 100.72kg. Fits right into the roller limit, with the 1% error margin rule. Probably.

                        5. E Clawdius Unum (formerly Clawdius Decimus Murderous)
                        SHAPE- skirted wedge with small box section and rounded back
                        COLOUR- deep green with red shield emblazoned on the wedge, depicting a gold lion with a crown
                        WEIGHT- about 100kg
                        DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 70cm X 40cm
                        SPEED- 14mph
                        TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
                        GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 0mm at sides and rear thanks to skirts (arranged in a Biohazard fashion, corner-to-corner), 10mm without
                        ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
                        WHEELS- inside robot, 4-wheel drive
                        POWER- 2 X S28-400 MagMotors
                        WEAPONS- The main weapon, as ever, is the hydraulic diamond-tipped crushing claw. It is powered by a Vivoil pump with an 80mm x 40mm ram, with a 2kg tank for storing the hydraulics. The claw runs at 3000psi and, aided by the diamond tip, should be able to leave plenty of holes in another robot.
                        The front wedge also features a Firestorm-style blade and two flat spears to aid in getting under the opposition. The wedge itself is now home to several Mute-style barbs to help ensnare other robots.
                        SRIMECH- A rear-hinged pneumatic arm on either side, powered by a pair of linear actuators. The rounded rear also prevents the robot getting beached.
                        NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, thanks to AJ, et tu, Brute? written on the underbelly
                        STRENGTHS- Quite nippy, good traction, powerful weapon, difficult to get underneath, fairly quick srimech
                        WEAKNESSES- so-so manoeuvrability

                        6. Turbo Tails
                        SHAPE- short box with front wedge, sloped sides & rounded rear
                        COLOUR- yellow with the foxs face looking particularly evil on the front slope
                        WEIGHT- approx 100kg
                        DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 75cm X 25cm
                        SPEED- 16mph
                        TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
                        GROUND CLEARANCE- approx 0mm at front (titanium blade), 8mm everywhere else
                        ARMOUR- 3.5mm monocoque Hardox, with 2mm yellow fur over that.
                        MOVEMENT- 4 inner wheels
                        POWER- 2 x C40-500 MagMotors. Can produce approximately 12hp.
                        WEAPONS- Tails chief weapon is the horizontal spinning blade. Now mounted on top, its a bit heavier than before and has Fluffy-style heads instead of the old hammers. Its powered by an LEM-130 running at 36v and has top speeds of around 2500rpm, so its definately just as deadly as before - if not, more so!
                        The front wedge also hosts a forward-hinged flipping arm, powered by an 80mm x 20mm full-pressure CO2 ram. The arm operates at 750psi, giving it a fair bit of oomph, and stores its gas in a 2kg main bottle. Capable of just over 30 fires per fight.
                        SRIMECH- The flipper. Sloped sides and rounded rear also prevent it getting beached.
                        NOTES- flies the Scotland flag, thanks to AJ
                        STRENGTHS- weapons synergy, touger armour, fast, fairly compact, greater pushing power
                        WEAKNESSES- not quite as manouverable as before, flammability, wholl take it seriously?

                              Decided. Just enter whom I entered in the previous tournament...with the exception of the real robots. The robots entered there will be Hexadecimator and Kan Opener.
