The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

[kodster]

NOTE: Just because this is opening, that doesnt mean anything. Sign-ups could take like a month or so, plenty of time for me to complete Dual Duels. So dont go off the hook now, just because this is open as well. :P

Er-hem...the third quest for the top spot begins now!

DA RULEZ

1. Need 12-16 people to enter 8 vapourbots/realies. The number of people determines the heat fight set-up. If I get 12 people, there are 3 bots in each first round battle. If I get 16 people, there are 4. Simple enough.

2. Basic RW rules apply here.

3. The http://www.geocities.com/origkody/CR...gBattlegrounds

quote:

9. NO FIGHTING.

Well thats no fun, whats the point of robots fighting if they are not allowed to fight

And damn you with rule 8

And I would re-write rule 4 because at the moment it suggests that wheeled machines are allowed to be 200kg (base 100kg limit plus a bonus of 100kg)

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

Ahem...

Nitro-Gene 5.0 - Where to begin...the rubber is too thick: 5cm? Your wheels are 18cm in diameter but the bot is 20cm high? I cant see it moving. Whats this extension youre talking about in the dimensions but not in the body shape? The force you are exuding (1600kg) on the 90mm ram is too much and Im sure it would break after the first flip, so try for 2 rams. How heavy is the flipping arm? Whats it made of? Explain or revise please.

The Rock - Overkill rubber again? Otherwise fine.

Knyfe - Explain this rotary joint to me, please.

Heyght - More overkill rubber. Too much monocoque! You should know that a monocoque is armour and chassis combined, so you cant properly have 3 monocoques. :P Where does it get lower? Where does it get narrower? You should that out in your shape. Too CO2 bottles as well and Im not sure if theyll fit the dimensions; again, like Nitro-Gene, you might blow the ram. Have two rams or lower the power somewhat.

D.V.D: The Sequel - Length and width dimensions too small...explain how the sides and rear are triangular. Otherwise fine.

MeCannibal 3.0 - The 130mm height is too small. Sure, LEM130s do work sideways and theyre 100mm in height when placed like that, but MeCanniball has 10mm titanium armour on top and bottom, so that gives MeCannibal about 5mm of space, top and bottom, to air out; the robot needs more room inside to breathe, otherwise itll overheat and die. And PLEASE, explain the skirt properly. And is it circular (going around the entire bot), or what?

Sort those out and Ill let you in. :wink:

Dave...

1. Hahaha, very funny. :P You know I mean people, not robots.

2. See the first three words in (1.) above. :P

3. I meant the weights for the entire thing. Yes, maybe I should have rewrote the title for that. :P

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

DIE-CERATOPS RE-INVERTUS

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape: Wheely Big Cheese
Speed; 15mph
TC; 0
GC; 0mm at front, 10mm at sides and back.
Wheels; 4 inner, the back two sticking out only slightly,
Armour; 8mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by S28-400 Magmotors, at 24v.
Colour; Green, with Killer Carrot style wrinkles, mouth and eyes. One of the eyes has a plaster over it, the other is a black eye. A few bandages are painted on this time.
Weapons: A huge Wheely Big Cheese style pneumatic CO2 flipper, capable of flipping a tonne or so.
Srimech; As the name suggests, the robot runs inverted. Bars prevent side strandings, and the back is rounded, so stranding THAT way is outta the question. The flipper works upside down.
Inspiration; Ive always liked Dinosaurs. This is a pun of Triceratops. The Invertus part is pretty obvious.
Strengths; The ability to work upside down and still be able to use its weapon, now easier to control.
Weaknessess: Facing more agile vapourbots


CYCLONE FORCE 3

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape; Storm 2 without the wedge (at first, see set-ups for more detail)
Speed; 20mph
TC; 0
GC; Side is 0mm due to skirts. Otherwise, 10mm. See set-ups for front GC
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 11mm Titanium.
Power; LEM130s at 36 volts, ala Storm 2. 3x12v batteries.
Colour; A blue-ish grey tone all over.
Weapons; The robot has 3 set-ups...
SET UP 1...An electric lifter device, similar to Storm 2. In theory, it can lift 190 kilos. The front makes a wedge and results in a 0mm GC. However, the wedge is useless upside down.
SET-UP 2...Two large 30 centimetre long spikes, powered by their own pneumatic system and running off CO2. The front with this GC is 10mm.
SET-UP 3...A simple bucket scoop, like X-Terminator. The scoop is static, but can get underneath virtually zero ground clearance. Its front is 0mm.
Srimech; The robot runs inverted, the sides are protected by the skirts and back stranding is impossible.
Inspiration; The original Cyclone was named because it is the name of a storm and it sounds threatening. The force came later, after it became a pusher.
Strengths;Raw power
Weaknessess;Limited control.


LEPROSY INFECTION

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape; Tetanus Booster
Speed; 18mph
TC; 0
GC; 6mm
Wheels; 4 inner, top sticking out. Hinged mini-skirts hang from the side, and these protect the wheels from low lying discs.
Armour; 7mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by S28-400 Magmotors. LEM130 motor for the drum.
Colour; A disgusting shade of lime green.
Weapons; A very large, very dangerous vertical drum, capable of reaching speeds of 4000rpm. The teeth on the drum are curved upwards so they can flip as well as damage and very sharp at the tip. There is a reason for this explained below. By the drum are two hindged wedge type devices, which drive oppodents onto the drum.
Srimech; The robot is invertable. Bars along the side and back prevent stranding. The wheel flaps, both on top and bottom, are set so the robot can still run inverted without getting stranded. Once upside down, the teeth of the drum gouge out robot parts.
Inspiration; Named after the disease which causes the skin to flake and fingers and toes to drop off...namely because the robot does something similar. The basic idea came from an episode of The Simpsons.
Strengths; Drum, control is pretty good
Weaknessess; Wheels may be vulnerable to axes


AXE-O-LOTL

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Comengetorix
Speed: 20mph
TC: 0
GC: 6mm
Wheels: 4 inner
Armour: 3.25mm Hardox all around.
Power: Same stuff as Storm 2 and Cyclone Force uses.
Colour: Has interchangable panels. One set is pure black, the other pure white with pink tinges.
Weapons: A very nasty pneumatic axe, with the power of Dominator 2. The head is diamond tipped, and the whole weapon is VERY persistant. It can fire about 40 times in one fight.
Srimech: The axe rights the robot. The robots body is designed so it cant be side stranded.
Inspiration: My favourite amphibian, the axolotl.
Strengths: Powerful weaponary
Weaknessess: Obviously a limited CO2 supply.

ORKA MK4

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Behemoth
Speed: Some 15mph
TC: 0
GC: 8mm, 0mm at front.
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 7mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by S28-400 Magmotors, at 24v.
Colour; Black with white patches
Weapons; A Behemoth like bucket scoop, made from titanium 5mm thick, and quite capable of lifting 300 kilos. It has a claw like device, also pneumatic, to grab an oppodent, like the claw on Mantis. The scoop is pnumatically powered by CO2, and has about 45 odd flips.
Srimech: It has a pneumatic dorsal fin piston that self-rights the robot, ala Vlad The Impaler.
Inspiration; Ive always liked Orcas. Adding the K made it sound more dangerous.
Strengths; Weapon
Weaknessess: Hard to turn

MEGA MASHER 2

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Minion with skirts.
Speed: 12mph
TC: 0
GC; 0 at front, 1mm at sides due to skirts, 10mm underneath.
Wheels; 4 inner.
Armour: A nice 3.25mm Hardox
Power: 3x 12v batteries, plus Bosch 750s at 36v.
Colour: Red and yellow.
Weapons; The front is a wedge, and the back has a nasty vertical disc, powered by its own LEM130 motor and spinning at 2000 rpm. It can probably flip as well as damage. A side Minion style bar, pneumatic CO2 powered, comes out from the side.
Srimech: The aforementioned bar rights the robot, even though it can run inverted.
Inspiration; This is probably the only robot I have where I have had no inspiration. It just came as a good name.
Strengths: Power, weaponary
Weaknessess: A little bulky, not as heavy as the body would suggest.


Y4

Weight: 99 kilos
Body Shape: T-Minus
Speed: 16mph
TC: 0
GC: 8mm, but the flipper blade reaches 0.
Wheels: 2 semi outer (that means theyre protected)
Armour: 5mm steel on body, 9mm titanium on wheelguards.
Power: The usual 3x 12v batteries and couple Magmotors (S28-400s) for power.
Colour: Grey
Weapons: An extremely powerful pneumatic CO2 flipper (Try 300 kilos+). Can perform about 30 or so flips before it starts weakening.
Srimech: The flipper acts as srimech. It can also be used as gymnastics. A light flip will knock the robot back over, but pressing hard on the button will send the robot into a 540 degree spin before landing, or a Matador style bound in mid air. All prperly controlled, of course. The robot can also run inverted, so if it gets too close to the arena wall, it should be OK.
Inspiration: A quote from a cartoon. Taz-mania, I believe.
Strengths: Powerful flipper, very entertaining.
Weaknessess: Semi exposed wheels.

CTR (Crash Trashing Robot)

WEIGHT: 100 kilos
Body Shape: A box with a wedge at the front and an inverted wedge at the back. About a metre long, point 3 of a metre wide and point 2 of a metre high.
Speed: 20mph.
TC: 0.
GC: 6mm all over except wedge, which meets at 0.
Wheels: 4 inner.
Armour: 4mm Hardox
Power: 3x 12v batteries, plus Magmotors (S28-400s).
Colour: Orange top and sides, blue underneath.
Weapons: The mini wedge sports a nasty rear hindged, pneumatic CO2 flipper. Also, the back wedge, which contains a weapon of its own, a pneumatic spike, ala Spawn Of Scutter.
Srimech: Crash runs inverted, and the sides stick out to prevent side-stranding. When upside down, the wedge at the back allows Crash to continue attacking, thanks to the spike.
Inspiration: My old video-game friend, Crash Bandicoot.
Notes: Says WOAH! whenever you hit his face (painted on his flipper) thanks to a sound-system inside. WOAH!, of course, being Crashs catchphrase.
Strengths: Very fast and manuverable.
Weaknesses: Tengu! Crash STILL hasnt forgiven him after the last time they met.

Chris...

Mega Masher 2 - If its shaped like Minion, how is it invertible? Or does it have different wheel sizes? AFAIK, Minion is a plain wedge with a disc at the back. (or from your view, a wedge with a disc at the front :P)

Ive made the chances on my stats page to keep them eternal, so how are they now?

Its shaped like Minion, but its wheels are different. Thats all there is to it.
