Asmaprene Urethane rubber: more stronger type of urethane rubber, they provide excellent grip on all arena surfaces and are especially designed to be resistant to oil spills and other debris on the arena floor.

This can reach top speed in 2 seconds, and brings out about 80kJ. The teeth are curved, jagged, and barbed. Has a buttload of shock proofing inside to stop it from self-destruction. Holes drilled into it to reduce weight.
Srimech: An extremely blunt spike that comes out at the top, powered by 1 X 2kg CO2 Tank.

Armour: 3.3mm Hardox 600.
Ground Clearence: Completely 0mm at the back and 5mm for the rest.
Turning Circle: It€™s completely zero, and you should know that by now.
Weapon: At the front there is a nasty 20kg Fluffy-Style Spinner (Horizontal) powered by a LEM-130 Lynch spinning at 4000RPM. The blade tips are sharpened, barbed and curved to cause max damage. The wedge at the back can also serve as defense for those nasty spinners, and if the blade fails to work, it can push robots around the ring.

Right, then perhaps AJ can explain what this wonderful Asmaprene upgrade to urethane is, unless Leo would like to clarify?

And you didnt change Bubonic Plague at all? The weaponry kind of makes it overweight, and theres still no side ground clearance...well?

Right...

Rough weight check on Bubonic Plague:

Armour/chassis (plus extension, minus flipper) = ~40kg
Motors = 6.2kg
Batteries = 7.2kg
Wheels and gears and stuff = ~10kg
Flipper (including power and mechanics) = ~12.5kg
Disc (including power and mechanics) = ~20kg
Everything else = ~10kg

By my (very bad) calculations, you are overweight by about 6.2kgs.

If anyone wants to step in and clarify/correct me...?

Google is your friend.

Basically it is a derivative of Polyurethane.

With all the ~s youre using in this weight check its hardly fair to boldly state the robot will about 6 kgs off in your conclusion. If for every ~ you used your guess is about 1 kg off the robot suddenly is underweight

Paul, I had a look at Inferno on ZED earlier and couldn€™t help but notice some things I wanted to point out. First of all, is all the shock proofing really that necessary? 4cm of rubber seems to be a little bit over the top, even if you are trying to survive 140kJ of impact. 6mm Weldox might be pushing it slightly, but as nobody else has commented on that, you€™re probably fine. My next problem is that you are claiming due to the curving of the panels, the armour cannot be torn. Remember that nothing is impossible... :wink: Next up is the 30mm wheels - I am presuming this is a typo? I€™m pretty sure there are antweights with bigger wheels than that. Onto the disc€¦ why is it so thick? Also, €œteeth non-attached teeth€ doesn€™t make a lot of sense to me. Did you run the spinner through the Kinetic Energy Calculator to get these figures? As always though, you€™ve come up with a nice idea.

Asmaprene€¦ I€™ve been using it on Exertion for several months now with no complaints. As you can see, it does exist and it is just a variant of rubber, which I decided to introduce as an alternative to Vulkolan. It seems that Samuel noticed and decided he wants to use it too. As you can see on the website, it has €œhigh resistance to grease, oil and hydrolysis and mechanical impact€ and €œexcellent adhesion to metal€. Basically, Asmaprene and Vulkolan are quite similar. I believe Mechaniac once used Asmaprene, so it has been tested in robot combat before.

Ben, your robo-zoo is wonderful. That is all.

Im assuming that non-attached teeth are like the teeth on The 6isc, where the teeth are simply part of the discs shape rather than welded on.

Thanks about the concept. Its actually an evolution (in my eyes) of Tornado Mer - a low robot, with a spinning bar on top. The bar was powerful, but discs always seemed to be better than bar spinners, so I put a disc on top and called it Inferno

A number of things I need to get right, so Im going to set them right here for everyone.

When I said, the armour is curved to avoid panels being torn, I didnt mean torn as in cut, I meant torn as in torn off - Its an idea being used by Frank on Masamune as the armour is a large sheet of 6mm Hardox curved over the whole body, so the armour cant just be removed panel by panel. I meant that the 6mm Weldox circumference is 1 panel, so it cant be torn off.
About the padding, I said 1 Inch of PU foam, 1cm of Vulkanised Rubber, and it has 0.5cm of PU foam between each motor, so the motors arent shock-killed.
About the teeth, I meant that the teeth were part of the disc (which is 8mm thick Hardox for durability) so the teeth cant be torn off. Frank is using it on The 6isc, but the main reason I did that is that is weve all heard of the Mauler dance and I didnt want to risk Inferno loosing a tooth and doing that mad dance.
The wheels are now increased in size to 60mm in diameter - the robot is very small, at 100mm in height, so I cant a wheels equal in size to even Terrorhurtz - he has 130mm wheels, but is 80cm tall, thats why the wheels look so small - but hopefully, Ive gone through all the original faults and corrected them for you all
