    The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

    I counted, and we have thirteen entries, assuming Matty keeps out of trouble and Martyn gets his act together

    And on a completely different note, I just noticed the HRR, and it says any weight. Can this include Nanoweights? :P

    (incidentally, Dan, last time I checked making spinner impact items out of bendy material was a bad idea)

      Generally what we meant by any weight WAS any weight, but between antweight and superheavyweight.

      Sorry.

        Antweights are officially between 0-150g...Nanoweights are 25g max...nothing at all wrong with me entering a heavily underweight ant, is there?

              Im not 100% sure, but it seems bad to have the thing that is supposed to transmit lots of force bendy.

                  Ahem...

                  Due to the number of people who are trying to exploit the weight advantages... :P

                  House robots can weigh up to 500kg, but NO weight bonuses for shufflers, walkers or any other motivation than wheels.

                  In the house robot rebellion, you may enter a bot that is within the antweight and superheavyweight range (moot if its already filled, but... :P), meaning 150g-150kg, nothing under, nothing over. :P

                  Understood? :P

                                NAME- *69
                                SHAPE- It€™s a shaped like a five point star but the points are mounted round a inner circle so the points of the star spin round
                                COLOR- yellow
                                WEIGHT- 100kg
                                SPEED- 19mph
                                TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
                                GROUND CLEARANCE- about 10mm but is lower under the bottom teeth where it is about 3-4mm
                                ARMOUR- 4mm hardox
                                MOVEMENT- it uses 6 inner storm 2 style wheels
                                DRIVE- it uses 2 x lem 130€™s
                                BATTERIES- 4 x 30 cell 36volt 3ah Sanyo NiCad packs
                                WEAPONS- as I said it has an outer spinning ring so is a fbs the ring is powered by a LEM 200 motor at 60volts, the points on the star each have sharpened teeth on them and it spins in a clockwise direction, each point has 3 teeth on it, one on the bottom for tearing at skirts in wheels, one in the middle for body work and that, and one at the top for aerials and tall robots and also used for bottom teeth when flipped
                                SRIMECH- Invertible, points and blades stop it from sticking on side
                                NOTES- Still the only star shaped robot, the weapon is significantly more powerful than before.
                                STRENGTHS- Powerful weapon and drive
                                WEAKNESSES- nights with no stars
                                SONG- Hilary Duff- The Math

                                Name-Panicking Still?
                                SHAPE- Low invertible box
                                COLOUR- Yellow except for the lifting forks which are black
                                WEIGHT- 98kg
                                DIMENSIONS- 65cm x 60cm x 15cm (Length x Width x Height)
                                SPEED- 20mph
                                TURNING CIRCLE- 0 mm
                                GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 mm at front due to forks, 0 mm at sides and rear due to skirts 6 mm with out, the skirts are hinged so flop over when the robot is flipped. These can be removed before the fight if I wish them to be.
                                ARMOUR- 5 mm Hardox
                                MOVEMENT- 6 Vulcalon wheels to give extra pushing power
                                POWER- 4x S28-400 @ 24volts
                                WEAPONS- on the front the robot has a pair of invertible lifting forks, the forks are like those on panic attack, the forks are powered by 2 linear actuators
                                SRIMECH- The robot is invertiable so doesn€™t require one. The robot can€™t rest on its sides, rear or front. Due to the skirts and that the sides are slightly angled. It can€™t rest on its front due to the forks.
                                STRENGTHS- Low to the ground, reliable weapon
                                WEAKNESSES- Kind of old design I suppose.
                                SONG- Panic! At The Disco- But It€™s Better If You Do

                                Name: Disco 5
                                Shape: Low Wedge with small rear wedge
                                Motivation: it now uses four storm 2 style Vulcalon wheels
                                Speed: 12.5 Mph
                                Weight: 100kg
                                Height: 300mm to top of body, 600mm to the top of the disc
                                Length: 1300mm
                                Width: 600mm
                                Weapon: 500mm Vert. flywheel @ 3000rpm. Has a 4.00 second spin up time due to the C40-500 Magmotor on 36v with a 2:1 twin tension cog belt reduction. The flywheel produces 31.5Kj€™s at maximum RPM but is lethal at around 1 second. The second weapon is also the srimech, this weapon is a low pressure pneumatic flipper running on 10Bar (145psi) running into a single 80mm bore ram. This produces 509kg at the ram and is then transferred into the flipper with a leverage point ratio of 1:1. This is a forward facing flipper like FireStorm and will have no problem toppling the heaviest of robots.
                                Chassis: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium monocoque with extra 5mm Titanium ribs to give it more rigidity.
                                Drive: 2 x S28-400 Magmotors @ 36v with a 10:1 Mod 2 spur gear reduction
                                Batteries: 90 x 3000mAh NiCD cells producing 36v @ 9amp
                                Color- the robot and skirts and flipper are blue and the disc is yellow
                                Clearance- it has 0mm at the front due to the wedge it has 0mm at the sides due to skirts its 6mm with out it also has a 0mm at the rear due to the small wedge which is there to replace the problem of the skirt being flipped into the disc. The skirts are NOT hinged and held down by torsion-springs so they shouldn€™t spring up and the rear one shouldn€™t go up into the disc
                                Notes- The flywheel is at the back off the robot it goes over the back of the wedge so if I can get a robot up the wedge far enough it will be hit by the disc. The shape of the robot stops it from landing on its side.
                                SONG- Rachel Stevens- I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)

The claws are powered by hydraulics through a 120mm bore rams at 3000psi
                                NOTES- invertible, wide base means the deer wont topple while crushing
                                STRENGTHS- Very powerful weapon
                                WEAKNESSES- it could be turned into venison

                                POWER- 2 x S28 Magmotors on 24v.
                                WEAPONS- it now uses a flipping arm that works much like the matadors or Toro€™s the flipper is powered by co2 on a 120mm pneumatic ram, working at 145psi, the flipper front is pretty unique as its front is like that of a fork lift (it has 2 flat bits of metal) this is welded onto the flipper, the arm can toss robots very high and if possible out of the arena. The prongs of the forklift weapon are used to get under the corners or gaps of skirts
                                SRIMECH- the flipper self rights the robot but because of the rear wedge thing it self rights like firestorm does i.e. the front wheels will go down first
                                NOTES- this is a modified version of my robot from the panic attack forum.
                                STRENGTHS- Power full weapon
                                WEAKNESSES- limited co2

                                COLOUR- The robot, wedge and caging are blue and the disc is yellow
                                WEIGHT- 98Kg
                                SPEED- 16mph

                                GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm under wedge, 0mm under rear disc caging this is to help hit robots, 0mm at sides due to skirts which will work when flipped
                                ARMOUR- 6mm titanium/vanadium alloy
                                MOVEMENT- it uses 6 inner Vulcalon wheels
                                POWER- 2x LEM130 Lynch Motors on 24v
                                WEAPONS- it has a front-hinged wedge, on the back is a 500mm Vertical. flywheel @ 3000rpm. Has a 4.00 second spin up time due to the C40-500 Magmotor on 36v with a 2:1 twin tension cog belt reduction. The flywheel produces 31.5Kj€™s at maximum RPM but is lethal at around 1 second, the disc is now has a scorpion jr style cage around it which is on a pivot ish thing so when flipped the caging will go down so it works as well when flipped
                                SRIMECH- Invertible
                                NOTES- This is a test to see if this design is effective
                                STRENGTHS- Powerful weapon

                                NAME- Rammy Mk 3
                                SHAPE- Invertible box with front hinged wedge
                                COLOUR- Blue
                                WEIGHT- 94kg
                                SPEED- 20mph
                                TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
                                GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front due to wedge this is both ways, 0mm at sides and rear due to skirts 8mm without, the skirts can be taken off if they aren€™t needed for the fight
                                ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
                                MOVEMENT- it has 6 inner vulcalon wheels

                                WEAPONS- The front wedge can lift up and down powered by a linear actuator, this is only used if the opponent is winning to help get aggression points from the judges. The wedge is hinged so works both ways up however the lifter isn€™t as affective when the robot is flipped though it still works
                                SRIMECH- Invertible
                                NOTES- Rammy finally comes to the fra after entering frw 8 and some arc tourneys
