I will enter ELLIOT, but next time I advise you on a different tournament setup, because otherweiht vapours are not very popular and omly a few people have more than one for each category.

Featherweights

Robot Name: Apocalypto
Weight: 13.6kg
Shape: Bulldog Breed-style wedge with rounded sides
Length: 25cm
Width: 25cm
Height: 25cm
Motivation: 6 x internal vulcanised wheels
Power: 2 x 12v cordless drill motors at 19.6v
Armour: 3mm titanium on top, front, sides and rear, 4mm HDPE on base
Weaponry:
1)Rear hinged front flipper, powered by a 60mm x 40mm ram at 250psi from a 600g co2 bottle
Top Speed: 12mph
Ground Clearance: 0 at front due to wedge, 5mm elsewhere
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The flipper springs the robot back onto its wheels
Colour: Red flipper, dark blue everywhere else
Strengths: Powerful flipper
Weaknesses: No damaging weaponry
Notes: A mini-Apocalypse

Robot Name: Werewolf
Weight: 13.6kg
Shape: Lox box with interchangeable front pieces
Length: 40cm
Width: 45cm
Height: 12cm
Motivation: 6 x invertible but internal from the side wheels, the hubs are HDPE and the tyres are polyurethane rubber. They 134mm in diameter
Drive: 2 x Dewalt Power Drives @ 24v
Batteries: 2 x 12v 2400mAh NiCads in series for 24v
Armour: 3.2mm hardox
Weaponry: The robot is a good pusher and can bash opponents around with top speeds of 22mph, but in the centre there is a Bio-Hazard style lifting arm powered by a 35w Bosch linear actuator that runs for the full length of the robot. At the front of the lifter there is a 1cm titanium scoop, 5cm wide. Also at the front there are the previously mentioned interchangeable fronts:
1) An extra 5mm hardox panel just to beef it up and defend from spinners
2) A wedge angled at 42*, made of 5mm hardox
3) A wedge angled at 30*, made of 5mm hardox
4) A pair of Wedge of Doom-style scoops, but rigid and made of 5mm hardox. The robot cant run inverted with these
Speed: Can reach 22mph when I want to really slam opponents into walls or hazards, but for driving it will mostly be kept to about 15mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at front with setups 1,2 and 3, 7mm at sides and rear and at the front with setup 1
Srimech: Runs inverted with all setups except no.4, but the lifter can always right the robot
Colour: Polished, like Trident
Strengths: Good pusher
Weaknesses: No damaging weaponry

Middleweights

Robot Name: El Media Diablo
Weight: 50kg
Shape: Chaos 2
Length: 45cm
Width: 30cm
Height: 25cm
Motivation: 2 x front go-kart wheels and 2 x rear casters, all internal
Power: 2 x S28-150 magmotors at 24v
Armour: 5mm titanium on top, front, rear and sides, 3mm 7075 aluminium base
Weaponry:
1)Rear hinged flipper, powered by 2 x 85mm co2 rams at 500psi each. A 2kg bottle provide the power, giving it about 12-14 flips per fight
Top Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 8mm at sides, 4mm at rear and 0 at front due to flipper
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The flipper
Colour: Black
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: High ground clearance at sides and rear

Robot Name: Zero
Shape: Cylinder, ala Daisy Chopper
Weight: 50kg
Length: (including disc) 65cm
Width: 70cm
Height: (including disc) 35cm (without disc) 10cm
Motivation: 6 x 3.2mm hardox wheels at either end, 12cm in diameter, external and invertible, exposed but protected by two tungsten carbide bars at either end. There are 6 wheels because they are mounted in a triangle like Trident from RW3
Drive: 2 x S28-150s @ 24v
Batteries: 2 x NiCad battlepacks @ 24v
Armour: 3.5mm titanium body and disc supports, tungsten carbide wheels protectors, titanium disc
Weaponry: A 25cm diameter vertical spinning disc 5cm away from the main body, supported by 4 x 4mm titanium arms, which have swivel castors on the top and bottom for easy manouevrability. The disc itself is made of titanium and has two 5mm hardox tunsgten tipped serrated blades which are part of the disc to avoid them being ripped off. These baldes are just 1mm from the ground, and when spinning at maximum speed of 2000rpm from the LEM-130 @ 36v that powers it can deliver 35.4Kj per hit as well as flipping opponents as it spins upwards. The direction can be reversed when the robot is flipped by the chain driven system
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: The disc is 1mm from the ground, the rest of the robot is 10mm
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: The disc is blue with gold stripes and red blades, the body is mostly pewter and grey with some dark blue
Strengths: Powerful weaponry, flipping it does just about nothing
Weaknesses: Not the toughest armour

Heavyweights

Robot Name: System Shock V: Hex
Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, the front wedge is angled at 60* to flip opponents and the sides are angled at 42* to deflect spinners, the front wedge has a 3cm long extension with a Firestorm-style blade, this extension is angled at 30* to get right in underneath opponents, then ram them so they get flipped by the main 60* wedge, it also has a Tornado style angled rear
Weight: Depends on setup, can gain a 10kg bonus because of the tracks in some setups
Length: 65cm
Width: 85cm
Height: 15cm
Motivation: 4 x CNC Aluminium internal, but invertible wheels, they have a v-belt groove in the treads and a v-belt between the wheels so they count as tracks, but if they break the robot is not affected at all and the robot simply becomes a wheeled robot, leaving the tracks behind. For certain opponents the tracks can be removed leaving it with just wheels, but if the tracks are removed the decision can be taken to add vulcanised go-kart tyres
Drive: 2 x LEM-200 lynch motors running @ 60v, providing over 100HP!
Batteries: 250 C-Cell NiCad batteries
Armour: 4mm hardox monocoque, with 6mm in key areas
Weaponry: As before the robot is primarily a rammer, but again it has some interchangeable weaponry;
- 50cm diameter titanium horizontal spinning disc, with 10cm long hooked blades that are part of the disc itself so they can€™t be ripped off from their own impacts. When attached this is situated on top of the robot itself, and the blades reach just over the top of the front wedge and the rear, but it will do the most damage if an opponent goes up the wedge. The tracks/wheels are higher than the disc, so it can still run inverted with this setup. The disc is spun by a LEM-130 lynch motor at 48v, and weighs 15kg, so can reach top speeds of 3000rpm in just 2.5 seconds. Kj count to come. This disc also feeds kinetic energy to the drive via a clutch, so the kinetic energy stored in the disc can be used for 45mph slams against other robots, which with the robot€™s front wedge is enough to throw robots out of the arena Storm II-style.
- A Tornado style cage can be fitted around the robot to keep crushers and axes at bay. Each of the 4 bars (one from each corner of the robot) is 70cm long and the bars are joined up by a square on the outside. Very few axes and no crushers will be able to reach the robot with this protection. The cage is made from tungsten carbide bars, so is essentially unbreakable by other robots. On the front of the cage will always be fitted the horizontal disc from setup 1, like Tornado had the spinning blade.
- The drum is back! Now spanning a massive 75cm in width and being made of titanium with its own teeth it spins upwards to 3000rpm in 2.5 seconds courtesy of a LEM-130 lynch motor running at 48v. It is connected to the wedge, so the robot still has 0 ground clearance at the front with this setup. It weighs 15kg and is chain driven, so can reversed if the robot is inverted
- A concave scoop made from 10mm hardox, perfect for stopping horizontal spinners or full body spinners. It is also lifted by 2 powerful linear actuators to lift opponent€™s wheels from the floor
- The €œclassic€ setup. The front wedge is thickened by 6mm hardox and actuated by an S28-150 magmotor at 24v, so it can work both ways up. Not including the cage with disc this is the only setup that works identically both ways up, as even the drum has to be reversed.
Speed: Can be pushed to 28mph, but mostly kept lower for more control (about 17mph). With kinetic energy boost it reaches 45mph very quickly. The motors are geared towards acceleration so it can reach top speeds very quickly.
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front, 10mm the rest of the way around, but that is protected by 5mm titanium hinged skirts at the sides and rear that flop over when the robot is inverted
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Grey, with yellow eyes and the name written in yellow on top. See the image for colours of the different setups.
Strengths: Speed and Power
Weaknesses: Some people will be cheesed off by this clear exploitation of the weight advantage given to tracks

Robot Name: The R.O.C (Revenge of Collateral)
Shape: Box with wedges on all sides, the front wedge has a Firestorm-style blade for zero ground clearance
Weight: 100kg
Length: 90cm
Width: 95cm
Height: 15cm
Motivation: 4 x internal vulcanised wheels, mounted like those of Tazbot for extra manoeuvrability
Drive: 2 x PERM 080s @ 24v
Batteries: 2 x NiCad battlepacks
Armour: 6-8mm grade 2 titanium for the most part, with 4mm hardox in key areas and 10mm HDPE on the base, with 4mm grade 2 titanium additional protection in key areas
Weaponry: This robot has an interesting weapon synergy onvolving;
1) A rear hinged lifting arm, hinged at the centre of the robots length and width. It is powered by an S28-400 at 24v for quick lifting, and it can raise to 2 levels- 75 degrees when lifting and 270 degrees when it needs to self-right/reset the flipper. The arm raises in about half a second
2) An upside down U-shaped front hinged flipper. The lifting arm is hinged in between the hinges of this weapon. It is powered by a 2 x 1.1kg co2 bottles and 2 x 85mm non-attached rams at 750psi, meaning it gets about 10 flips. Normally the rams wouldnt work when non-attached because of the way it is hinged, but the lifter will already be raised when the flipper is raised and so can quickly move back the rest of the way to reset the flipper
The way the weapon synergy works is this- the lifter lifts the opponent to 75 degrees, then uses the flipper to throw them about 7 feet up and across because of the placing of flipper and lifter. Then the lifter resets the flipper.
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front, 7mm at sides and rear
Srimech: The flipper can right the robot, but the lifter will be used to conserve gas (unless for some reason it cant be
Strengths: Weapon Synergy, good armour
Weaknesses: No damaging weaponry

Superheavyweights

Robot Name: SLAM!
Shape: Box wedge, ala Storm II. The front wedge is angled at 42* to deflect spinner attacks and the rear is angled like Tornado
Weight: 200kg
Dimensions: 200 x 150 x 20
Motivation: 4 x internal, invertible wheels
Drive: 8 x LEM-200 at 60v, providing over 400HP!
Armour: 6mm hardox all over
Weaponry:
1)Firestorm-style blade on the wedge to give it 0 GC
2)Pushing Power/ Full Body Hammer
3) Bio-Hazard style lfiting arm, powered by pneumatics at 550psi, the gas is stored in a 2.5kg bottle, it has bars on top to aid in self-righting
4) On either side of the angled rear there is a tungsten tipped spike
Top Speed: 40mph, but it will be kept down to 17mph for pushing and only pushed to full for the hammer attack
Ground Clearance: 0 at front due to wedge, effectively 0 at sides and rear due to 7mm titanium skirts
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The arm, but it is invertible anyway
Colour: Black, with the name painted in white on top
Strengths: Immense pushing power
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels from top and bottom
