Joey, why if you wanted to get this started straight away did u give a date of the end of the month for the stats?

The Chevron Championship Series 2 - Medium Medium Speed Ones

Because I never actually expected to wait that long, it was more meant as an absolute limit (should someone briefly go offline or anything)...besides, Im pretty sure I gave that during my AS exams so I wasnt expecting to be so eager to start it then :P

I did discuss it with Andy earlier, and based on his advice I am moving the deadline for names of entries to be in (so I can do the draw) to this Saturday, and then if a heat comes up and I have no stats for something, I shall insert a random realie to take your place. That should be fair enough

Sorry for the delay, Ive been pretty much bedridden since Sunday. To keep from delaying any further, Ill enter:

Door Stops
The May Tracks Has You
Cobalt
Masamune

...this is really bloody great now, I posted that to get Martyn to hurry up and the two people who I didnt have problems with their current entry setup take it in completely the wrong way, I never meant to force anyone to change their lineup...is this some sort of lets all break Joey week? Its beginning to feel like one..._

Revisions accepted I guess though, hopefully if Martyn gets some names/full stats in I can do the draw and we can at last get on with the tourney proper.

A convo with Marti has lifted my spirits a bit , bloody cold making me feel pessimistic about everything...

Martyn, you should know by now that Joeys in the club thats incurably sad, the same one Im in. :P Us sad people are gonna bug you not-sad people incessantly.

So if you dont want to get bugged anymore, get your entries in, or the bugging continues! :P

Precisely, I havent breathed fresh air in eight months and I see no reason why you should too!

...or something like that anyway, Scott did it so much better.

The Chevron Championship Series 2 - Medium Medium Speed Ones

Since theres still time, my line up is changing:

The Crashing Bore 2

Shape: Box with a wedge on front, with a sharpened front wedge extender.

Dimensions: 80 X 40 X 25 (lwh)

GC: 2 CMs at sides and rear, 0 at front. Side and rear skirts protect the sides and rear, but can be removed to fight spinners.

Weapon 1: The trap is back as ever, powered by two LEM 130s on 36 volts. This time the idea is to snap and grip.

Weapon 2: The front wedge lifts up, powered by a linear actuator. This should lift around 200 KGs.

Weapon 3: The drill is also back, powered by the same actuator as the wedge. As the wedge lifts, the drill extends to attack the base of whatever is being lifted. The drill is sprung with 50 KGs of downforce, so anything the drill cannot penetrate easily will push it down the shaft and still allow the wedge to lift. However, the drill will still push into the opponent with a force of 50 KGs.

Armour: A 3.2 mm hardox monocoque, except for the front wedge which is 8 mm hardox. The skirts are 5 mm grade 5 Ti.

Drive: Four wheel drive, powered by two LEM 130s on 36 volts

Srimech: The trap

Notes: Painted to look like it€™s a red robot with a fine layer of dust

Raging Tempest

Shape: Ring spinner.

Speed: 12 MPH.

Dimensions(dh): 80CM X 25 CM

GC: 1 CM.

Armour: The spinning ring is 4 MM of Hardox 500. The base and top are 5 mm of polycarb. There is a 1 CM Ti box section frame, with weight reducing holes.

Weapon: Ring spinner powered by two Lem 130s at 36 volts and spinning at 1500 RPM to deliver around 70 KJs per hit. The four hardox teeth are 6 inches long with two being placed near the top and two near the bottom.

Weapon 2: Two foot long blades can be attached to the bottom of the machine and skim 5 mm above the floor, with the idea being to sneak under GCs and attack wheels. This is only used as an anti-Tengu measure.

Drive: 2 wheeled, driven by S28-400 magmotors at 24 volts.

Srimech: Invertible.

Notes: Has an absolute buttload of shock proofing inside. Everything is firmly bolted down, with layers of rubber between everything. Added to that, the teeth have a backwards curving shape which maximises the distance it will throw itself away from the opponent. The reason is twofold. First is to make ramming and flipping it difficult, but the main reason is to bleed away kinetic energy backlash, by using that backlash to move the robot externally rather than internally. The shockproofing is mostly there to stop it shock killing itself upon landing.

The May Tracks Has You

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

Speed: 15 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, has sunglasses painted on the side. Once The May Tracks Has You, there is no escape.

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

Notes: There is a strip of metal shaped like sunglasses at the top of the flipper to prevent fast robots just going straight up and over like in Storm 2 vs Firestorm.

Door Stops

Shape: A two part cluster bot, each part is an invertible wedge. Kinda like a door stop. The backs are rounded to prevent being beached.

Speed: 15 MPH.

Dimensions(lwh): 40CM X 30 CM X 20 CM

Armour: 4 MM hardox for the front 20 CMs, 5 mm grade 5 Ti for the rear 20 CMs

GC: 0 at the front tip, raising to 1.5 CM at the rear.

Weapon: Static wedges at the front.

Drive: 2 large internal wheels towards the end of the robot, powered by LEM 130€™s at 36 volts, which if memory serves should provide 18 HP.

Srimech: Invertible.

Linking method: One part has a clip on the rear, the other has an €œeye€ The two pieces can fight as one when clipped together, and with some good driving, the two can reunite in the middle of battle. Admittedly this would take awesome skills, but admittedly I am awesome.

Strengths: Good front armour, designed for taking on spinners, it€™s a cluster €˜bot.

Weaknesses: Not so wonderful back armour, could wheelie due to high acceleration, it€™s a cluster €˜bot.

Yeah, five otherweights need to be entered. Real or vapourbot-wise.

*points at otherweights are optional bit while looking quizzically at Kody*

Thanks for that though, that completes the lineup...and I shall be doing the draw for the competition later today, so brace yourselves.

And thanks once again for all the interest shown

[kodster]

Optional? Where does it say that? :P
