Okay, this is it. With NSCSB RPG 2 and VRW4 on hold(due to people not entering), I've decided to do something to go back to when I was a n00b.
Rules: I need 8 people to enter 1 robot.
Wheeled robots: 100kg
Tracked robots: 110kg
Hoverbots/Blizzardbots(Screwbots): 125hg
Shufflers: 150kg
True walkers: 200kg
Basic FRA rules apply, except you can slip special things into the robots you enter with. Here are some examples:
Joey McConnell's Nidus!!!
Danny Bailey's Quantum!!!
And AJ's Sun of Rippo!!!
Well, you get the picture.
Simply, this tourney will consist of these impossible-in-real-life robots going against each other for the Unobtainium cup. What? You're flabbergasted that I'm actually doing this? Well stop being flabbergasted and start entering!!!

Joey McConnell's Nidus!!!
Nidus
WEIGHT: 100kgs
DIMENSIONS: 110 x 75 x 45 cm
SHAPE: A bit odd, the front is wedge shaped and it resembles Razer, and there's a scoop at the rear, with an upwards extension in the middle for the weapon support, but other than that it looks like it's been compacted around the locations of its components - triangular panels ahoy!
COLOUR: Unpainted, so black and silver
DRIVE: 2 S28-150 Magmotors run at an average voltage of 24v, giving about 6hp of drive power; this is supplied by a bioengineered set of side and top panels that contain chloroplasts impregnated into the fabric of the carbon fibre, which allow the robot to photosynthesize and thus generate its own electricity following a complex process involving the sugar from the photosynthesis and then several Sabatier reactions contained in a carbon cell.
SPEED: 20mph
GROUND CLEARANCE: The front is 0 due to the front wedge, the rear is 0 as the scoop is sprung loosely to the floor, the sides are 6mm
ARMOUR: Stainless steel base (5-10mm) and weaponry subframe (3mm wall 25mm box section with 2mm sheet on front wedge), the rest is 4mm carbon fibre panels
WEAPONS: A pneumatically actuated arm constructed of stainless steel and carbon fibre; pivoted towards the rear of the machine, the front end goes horizontally and then comes down in a high carbon steel sharpened point, at the rear it widens out into a full width scoop. Basically, in a similar manner to Cronos this is a pneumatic crusher and flipper, but unlike Cronos it is run from full pressure CO2 in a single 2kg cylinder and two large buffertanks feeding four inlet valves into a 300mm bore/140mm stroke 7075 aluminium full pressure ram, which is connected to the weapon behind its pivot and delivers somewhere in the region of 30 tonnes of force at the ram, levered down to 15-18 tonnes at the tip of the crusher and a similar amount of force on the flipper...the caveat of course being that since this is pneumatic it acts extremely fast. The arm is retracted using elastic rather than using more gas; this makes the gas supply last longer than it would otherwise.
Basically, if you get caught by the front end, unless your armour is well braced fairly thick (5mm+) Hardox or titanium/vanadium alloy, you're getting crushed. Lesser armours (polycarb, thin ti, aluminium) may as well not be there with the force generated and concentrated into the tip. If you escape the front but get caught by the rear, you will get flipped...hmm...30 tonnes of force at the ram, fair amount of lift on the scoop...how high are the arena ceilings?
SRIMECH: Hidden inside the main weapon arm is a stainless steel srimech arm, that moves the opposite direction to the rest of the weapon when activated. This is actuated by cables and the pivots are arranged such that it will still have most of its movement when the gas supply is running low (after 4-6 uses) so it can still selfright when the weapon's flagging.
NOTES: Probably the most powerful crusher or flipper ever devised in fanfic, definitely the most overkill.
STRENGTHS: If it catches you, you are dead
WEAKNESSES: Lack of sunlight

Name - Quantum
Shape - Square
Weight - 100 Kilogram
Speed - 30 mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm with skirts.
Power - 4 LEM130s. thanks to recent advances in quantum mechanics, the LEMs are actually outside the bot, and only the power is inside
Movement - Four solid Unobtainium wheels.
Turning Circle - Zero
Weaponry - Quantum Disc. This disc, again thanks to quantum mechanics that are SO ADVANCED you wouldn't begin to understand it, can cause a total existence failure to the bot it impacts with. It also has 100kj power
Armour - 2CM Unobtanium. This is an element that's incredibly light to start with as well as stronger than hardox, and I've atomically altered it to be better.
Srimech - invertible

Name: Sun of Rippo
Shape: Wooden circular.
Dimensions: 20x20x20 x 1000mm
Weight: 500000 carats
Drive: 2x Jiang Minis motors. They are petrol powered motors weighing just 1kg each and can run for 10 minutes on just 1 millilitre of petrol. This produces around 200hp. The robot drives on two wheels made of indestructibulum, which are impervious to damage. They also provide ultimate traction using limpet technology.
Speed: 15.64 knots
Ground Clearance: 0.001 micrometers, but as this is invisible to the human eye, I€™ll just say it€™s 5mm.
Skirting: It wears a kilt in the McGregor tartan.
Armour: It uses a material known as Low Density Hardox, which is around as light as polycarbonate but has the tensile strength of pure iron. I have around 30mm thick all over. It is impossible to shatter or take chunks out of. It has a property known as heartofskadium, which allows the armour to be instantly regenerated once damaged. Behind this armour is 40mm of oxygen to withstand impacts.
Weapon: A spinning bar that is 20x2mm. It is powered by a black hole generator and spins at around 10,000,000rpm as it is geared 2:1. The black hole runs off 1x 9v battery, which has a self-charging system built in; basically meaning the weapon can never stop spinning. It€™s secondary weapon is a clusterbot consisting of Mass Destruction Ultimate and CrankShafted which both come out of the black hole in times of desperate need. They are shaped like /\/\/\/\/\ to cause more damage.
Self-righting mechanism: It has a linear actuator powered by a self-righting bar.
Strengths: It has no weaknesses, has a little red flashing light on top
Weaknesses: Paul won€™t be getting any weaknesses
