  • FRFFT: Series One

    Hello, Everyone and welcome to Fighting Robots Fan-Fiction Tournament (FRFFT for short). I do apologize if the name is a bit random, but I liked it

    The Rules

    I need 8 people to enter two robots of any of the following weight classes. There are only four places in each so you need to hurry

    Superheavyweight (100 to 200)
    Heavyweight (50 to 100)
    Middleweight (25 to 50)
    Featherweight (1 to 12)

    Kody K, Dave S, Paul C and Liam E have reserved spots. I just need four more people to enter

    The arena will be the Robot Wars Series 7 Arena. There wont be any house robots, only Refbot. Everything else will be added

    Normal Robot Wars Rules apply. No flying robots. Tracked robots and walking robots are allowed. Clusterbots are allowed, and you can have as many parts as you want. But remember: Half out: ALL out

    Thats it for now. So get cracking!

      Oooh, reserve me a spot until I finish clarifying a few things:

      1: What are the weight limits for tracked and walking machines?

      2: When you say enter two in any of the following weight classes, does that mean we have to enter two in one weight class, or can we enter eight robots, two in each class?

          Heavy 1

          The May Tracks Has You

          Shape: Like Comengetorix. It has a wedge extender to give it 0 mm at the front.

          Speed: 20 MPH.

          Dimensions(lwh A): 85CM X 45 CM X 24 CM

          Armour: 4.5 MM hardox.

          GC: 0 mm at the front, 6 mm everywhere else, covered by skirts made of 3 mm Ti.

          Weapon 1: Rear hinged flipper, powered by two pneumatic rams at 500 psi.

          Weapon 2: Upward facing spikes on the wedge. A robot can go over them, but if it tries to reverse, say goodbye to your tyres. By wedging a robot then reversing suddenly, TMTHY can impale the tyres, then fire the flipper to do loads of damage. Even a robot with stuffed tyres will be limping after that.

          Drive: Inner tracks, powered by Lem-130€™s at 24 volts.

          Srimech: The flipper.

          Strengths: Weapon synergy. Once The May Tracks Has You, there is no escape.

          Weaknesses: Axe/flipper combos could take the tracks out.

          Heavy 2

          The 6isc

          Shape: Like an old fashioned bar-bell. It is two circular wheel pods, connected by an axle in the middle of which sits the disc.

          Size: 60X110X60 CM (LWH)

          Weight: ~100 KGs

          Speed: 10 MPH.

          Ground clearance: Under the wheel protectors, it€™s 5 mm.

          Weapon: 26 KG spinning disc, powered by one LEM 130 Lynch motor and going at 2500 RPM. The disc is shaped with its own teeth rather than needing teeth surgically attached to it, so dentistry is quite impossible. The energy output is 36 KJ€™s which, while modest by vapour €˜bot standards should still be enough to make a mess of things.

          Wheels: 6 wheels, but four wheel drive. This has three wheels on either side arranged in a triangular fashion, so it only runs on four at a time. The wheels are 1 CM solid Ti with soft compound rubber wrapped around them to provide shock resistance, and a layer of Vulcalon wrapped around that to provide traction.

          Chassis: The main chassis consists of one solitary 1 CM thick 4 mm box section hardox bar. Slotted over that is a secondary axle, inside which are the batteries. There are also two other triangular chassis€™ supporting the wheels. These are made from 4 MM 1 CM box section Ti bars with weight reducing holes.

          Armour: The true axle and chassis is a 4 MM hardox bar. The battery axle is 2 mm aluminium. The semi circular wheel protectors and side spikes are 5 mm Hardox. The disc itself is 14 MM of Hardox 500, and the outer axle is 4 mm grade 5 Ti.

          Srimech: Totally invertible. Controls won€™t even have to be reversed after flipping, meaning it can just go straight back on the attack.

          Drive: 2 S28-400 Magmotors at 24 volts.

          Strengths: The newest version of The 6isc does away with as many weaknesses in The Disc 5 as I could find.

          Weaknesses: Weak armour in places. Can€™t use axe attacks.


          I currently have no otherweight vapours, so Im not reserving for those brackets. If I can get some done in time Ill enter those.

                  Sorry, but I have once again not explained clearly. Allow me to explain clearer

                  I want TWO robots of any kind (Ie: A middleweight and a heavyweight or maybe a superheavyweight and a featherweight) entered by EIGHT people. There are FOUR robots to be entered in each weight catagory, meaning all of you might not get to be in their favourite weight class

                  Paul: Pick a heavyweight, and then either pick a featherweight, middleweight or superheavyweight

                  Kody: Pick two robots from your eight. They cannot be in the same weight class

                  Frank: Same as Paul, please

                  Ben: Same as Frank and Paul please

                  Places so far: Frank, Paul, Daniel, Ben, Kody, Maritjn

                  I forgot to add in the rules: Real Robots are allowed

                  Im sorry about all this. I cant explain things well. I have autism. If this goes terribly wrong again, Ill redo the whole thing but read the above CAREFULLY

                  Thanks for understanding, if you do anyway
