RS!! Mini-Tournament 1

[Guest]

KK, similar to what Kody did in C&BT: Mini-Tournament of Death, if he doesnt mind me saying so

Just taking a quick break from RS!!2 since Im halfway through the heats. Same rules and arena as that tournament, 8 people, 1 robot each, simple knockout, no play-off for third place unless I change my mind.

No Reserves sorry, I want to get this done fast.

Time to unleash Spin Dash!

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

ONE PLACE LEFT!!

[martyn]

RS!! Mini-Tournament 1

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.

Martyn has very kindy filled the last spot, so here are the line-ups!

Eliminators
Back to Rock III vs. Achilles
Bad Temper Jr. vs. Disco 5
Eye of Ran vs. Knyfe
Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Sideswipe

Tactics, predictions, and a big THANKYOU for the quick response. Fights will be posted very quickly, but definetly no more than 1 battle per robot every 24 hours.

RS!! Mini-Tournament 1

Youre very welcome

Back to Rock III vs. Achilles
If Achilles uses the pneumatics, it will flip him OOTA, but if it uses hydraulics, BTR will pit it.

Bad Temper Jr. vs. Disco 5
I think I can say with some confidence that Disco will win easily here

EYE OF RAN vs. Knyfe
My precise tactics will depend on Knyfes setup, but they will likely involve the following:

Start the match off in reverse - this will ensure he cant get across and stop the blade before I spin it up, as I will be using the wedge to deflect him - its 5mm hardox with 0 ground clearance, and he might try to get around the sides, but with the drive wheels positioned just behind the wedge I wont be letting him :P
Once the blade is spun up to about 2/3 of maximum power, swing it into him and try and bash, slash, and generally batter it around until it dies - he has vulkanised rubber on the inside, but he cant protect everything with it, things like his link will be vulnerable. If the fight begins to go the distance, rev the weapon up to max power and go all out.

If he does get under me, given the ground clearance underneath the chassis (6cm) I should be alright regarding grounding and similar things.

You wanted tactics? You got tactics

Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Sideswipe: Leos 15hp spinning object will either obliterate Spin Dash or destroy itself On a more serious note, this is probably the most even battle, either robot could win.
