Lol,yeah,it does get confusing sometimes.

[samuel3764]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

Heres my squad.

Fatality

Top Speed: 15 mph.
Tyres: 2 X Vulkanized Tyres.
Ground Clearence: 7mm all around. It has to be.
Armour: 6mm Hardox FBS shell, 6mm Polypropylene Base.
Turning Circle: Zero! Need I say more?
Weapon: A very nasty 38kg, 1690RPM FBS shell with 4 X 1kg Hardox Teeth and small Tungsten Carbide-tipped teeth all around, powered by an LEM-130 @ 36v. 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 CO2 Tank.
Strengths: Deadly Weapon, Fast Srimech.
Weaknesses: Weak Base Armour, able to shoot only 15 times with the srimech.

Axetra

Weight: 100kg
Body Shape: Box with sloped sides and wedge, skirts all around.

Armour: 5mm Hardox Monocque for the scoop and 5mm Titanium for the base.
Ground Clearence: Completely 0mm on the front and 6mm anywhere else.
Turning Circle: Zero, what does it look like?
Weapon 1: Static Scoop to deflect other spinners.
Weapon 2: In the middle of the scoop, there is a Tornado-esque drum thingy powered by S28-150, spinning at 3220RPM.

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.

Just to make sure Kody im using the X-terminator with the disc.

Thanks.

[kodster]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

I know, Dan.

And Paul, be that joking or not, Matty will get his stats in when he wants. I have no intention of starting this THAT quickly. Do remember I have to finish Dual Duels. :P Speaking of which, I must get some battles up there. Heh, oops.

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

BIACS-LE

Weight- 100.3kg (WDOR)
Dimensions- H- 65cm, L- 65cm, W- 75cm
Speed- 11mph, 5.1 m/s
Shape- Somewhere between S6 Sabretooth and Atilla the Drum.
Locomotion- 2x Motorbike wheels with screws embedded. These are bigger diameter than the robot itself.
Ground Clearance- Massive
Turning Circle- 0
Armour- A cage made from a 3mm titanium mesh with moulded 8mm fibre glass armour over that.
Power- 2x S28-400€™s at 24V giving 9BHp. These are powered by some TMC batteries at 24V.
Removable link position- Inside the left wheel, as far in as possible whilst keeping it accessible.
Weapon- As before, the weapon is a 300mm 18kg vertical disc on an arm, which can swing right through the whole arc of the robot, and is capable of coming down with a thump. The blades are mounted diagonally, which means that they are capable of both flipping and ripping. The cage can also swing over the top, protecting the axle and wheels from the side that is unprotected by the disc. This means that other than the cage, nothing can be damaged apart from the disc. It should produce about 62Kj. It€™s powered by another S28-400 on 24V and has a spin-up time of 4.7 seconds.
Srimech- Invertible
Strengths- Powerful weaponry. Manouvreable, Strong
Weaknesses- Low traction, slow acceleration.

Weight distribution.

Chassis- 8kg
Armour- 28kg

Failsafe Position- Under the armour at the top of the flipper.
Paint Scheme- See through
Weapons- a CO2 powered flipper running at 750psi with 2 x 70mm bore, 220mm stroke rams behind it with a 2.5kg gas tank. It can flip about 2 tonnes, though that shouldn€™t be necessary. It should send a 100kg robot about 1.7m into the air and had around 15 flips in the tank. The idea is that we reserve flips as much as possible and only use them when in prime position.

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

With many thanks to AJ, Dan and Marti, my two newest bots are complete. These two will be replacing The Botles Reunited and SWATbot.

7. Traffic Warden (HW)
SHAPE- rigid U shape, rounded rear
COLOUR- black with a yellow stripe
WEIGHT- 100kg, I hope
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 150cm X 25cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm
ARMOUR- 4mm Grade 5 titanium
MOVEMENT- four inner wheels
POWER- 2 x Etek-RT motors, running at 48v and producing 38hp.
WEAPONS- Two vertical hydraulic clamps within the middle of the machine. Each clamp is powered by an 80mm x 40mm ram operating at 3000psi, delivering up to 10 tonnes of crushing power. When an opponent slips into the middle, the clamps activate and hold them in place. Traffic Warden can then drag them around and shove them into the nearest arena hazard. Think of it as Huggy Bear on steroids.
SRIMECH- invertible, rounded rear should prevent it getting beached
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, super special awesome thanks to Daniel Stickler, Martijn and AJ for helping with the design
STRENGTHS- good traction, tough shell, fairly manoueverable, nippy, powerful grip
WEAKNESSES- untested weapon, exposed ground clearance
THEME SONG- Traffic Jam by Weird Al Yankovic

http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/1130/trafficwardenfinalto6.pnghttp://img381.imageshack.us/img381/1...enfinalto6.png

8. Venus Fly Trap (HW)
SHAPE- wedge with sloped rear
COLOUR- green with an ugly great mouth
WEIGHT- 100kg, I hope
DIMENSIONS- 110cm X 70cm X 30cm
SPEED- 12mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 8mm
ARMOUR- 4mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- four inner wheels
POWER- 2 x C40-500 MagMotors. These will run at 36v and produce approximately 12hp.
WEAPONS- a large electric lifting plate fitted with barbs ala Mute. The idea is that the plate slides under an opponent and the barbs catch the wheels. The plate then lifts up and clamps the opponent onto the wedge. The plate is powered by an S28-400 MagMotor geared 250:1 for smooth and quick movement. To ensure it wont tip over trying to lift an opponent, Venus is fitted with a pair of long static forks on the front, made from 4mm Hardox.
SRIMECH- a separate electric arm on the wedge. Powered by a separate S28-400 MagMotor geared 250:1 for quick and easy self-righting.
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, thanks to Martijn and AJ for helping with the design
STRENGTHS- good traction, tough shell, fairly manoueverable, unique weapon
WEAKNESSES- untested weapon, exposed ground clearance, potentially vulnerable spikes
THEME SONG- Underground Theme from Super Mario Bros

Batteries need sorted here. A single 24v pack @ 3.6Amp Hour isnt going to cut it... Id advise 3 packs instead, just to make sure youll last the full battle. Therefore, you need 3 x 20 CP3600 Nicads packs, a total of 60 cells and a approx weight of 4.8KG

Size is a problem 3 x 300mm diameter wheels in line with each other is a minimum of 900mm in length. Youll need at least 10mm spacing between each wheel, so 930mm... Yet the robot is only 800mm long. Do the wheels hang massively past the front and back?

Batteries again. Single 40cell (48v) pack will melt when those 4 motors, they can pull up to 960amps EACH! Id advise to drop back to just two of these motors (They are etek size...), run 4 x 40 cell packs and run current limiting at 400amps. This will limit you back to a combined ~25HP peak, but the robot will actually last a match

Probably still boarder line on the weight, but Ive not the time to sit down and do everything for you
