w.a.r, micro tornie of death one

[team_orr]

hey hey

w.a.r is going a bit slow and i want something i can easily write to fill in the gaps between the w.a.r fights

so the rules are:

i need 6 people to enter one antweight each

150gs for rollers and 240gs for walkers/shufflers

all robots must fit in a four inch cube

clusters are not allowed to have more than 3 parts, and must together fit in the 4 inch cube and fit in the weight limit.

really's are allowed but innovation is encouraged

no liquid based weapons, entanglement weapons, flame weapons or untethered projectiles

there is no weight bonus for infer-read or other autonomous systems

the arena is the robot wars antweight arena

the round format is basically a mini annihilator with 2 robots going out in each round until there are 2 robots left, they will then fight it out to decide who will be the champion!

simple eh?

Re: w.a.r, micro tornie of death one

I think we need some more old skool antweights. :wink:

Name: MicroForce 3.0
Weight: 150g
Shape: Low profile box with a front wedge and rounded sides and rear.
Colour: The main body is see-thru with a silver front wedge.
Length: 100mm
Width: 50mm
Height: 25mm
Motivation: There are four wheels. They are made of HDPE and are 30mm in diameter. Each wheel has a Dycem tyre bonded to it for extra grip on the arena floor.
Drive: 4x HS-55 Servos run at 6v from a NiMH battery pack.
Turning Circle: 0m using a tank style steer.
Speed: 45cm/s
Ground Clearance: 0mm on the front wedge, 2.5mm at the back and sides.
Armour: 1.5mm thick Polycarbonate monocoque with 1mm Titanium on the front wedge.
Weapon: The main form of attack comes from ramming opposing robots around the arena using the wedge shape.
SRIMECH: MicroForce 3.0 is invertible and the rounded sides, rear and wedge prevent it resting elsewhere.
Notes: Thanks to Aaron for helping me with the original design.

I hope that is okay, Jack.

Re: w.a.r, micro tornie of death one

I'll throw in a cupcake.

Name: uMBX (Micro MBX)
Weight: 150g
Shape: Picture
Colour: Glossy White with Acid Green teeth
Length: 100mm
Width: 100mm
Height: 30mm
Drive: 2 x C2028 1400kv 90Watt Brushless motors @ 11.1v. The motors have urethane bonded to the magnet can to turn them into 30mm wheel motors.
Batteries: 300mah 11.1v Lithium Polymer battery
Speed: 100mm/s
Ground Clearance: 2mm
Armour: 2mm Titanium rim, 1mm carbon fibre base with a 1mm polycarbonate top.
Weapon: uMBX is a translational spinner, the whole robot spins at 5000rpm while pulsing the drive motors to make the robot translate/drift around the arena. 150g @ 5000rpm should pack a monster hit to any antweight. uMBX has 2x Titanium teeth welded to the rim to impact opponents with.
Notes: Invertible.

It's pretty damn close to the weight limit, but I've not the time at the moment to CAD it all out and do all the weight calculations properly. If there is anything obvious, let me know.

Re: w.a.r, micro tornie of death one

so tactics predictions and all that jazz

Re: w.a.r, micro tornie of death one

Destroy any robot in the way. :twisted:

Re: w.a.r, micro tornie of death one

uMBX vs MicroForce 3.0 vs Bobcat vs Flamberge vs SPARK vs Katjuscha

Um... I will probably die in the first round, but anyways:

There are 3 targets I'm truly afraid of: Flamberge, uMBX, and Katjuscha. In the first round, I'd like to team up with Aaron and AJ(seeing as how they have to most experience with doing this).

My first target will be Bobcat. Seeing as how both Razzler and Lowa both failed to win their Antweight melees, I feel that Bobcat should do no better here. I will try to use the wedge to tip it onto its left side, where its arm can't self-right it. Then ask Aaron to move in uMBX and destroy the immobilized antweight.

Target no. 2 will be Leo and Katjuscha. A good suggestion of teamwork would be to have Aaron get around to the vulnerable back, while I come in from the side. Once Leo is flipped, it's over.

Anyways, I think Flamberge will survive(simply because Jack will let it), and those are my tactics.

Re: w.a.r, micro tornie of death one

LET€™S GET READY TO RUUUUMMMMBLE!

Jack: hello! Im Jack Orr and this€¦.this is A BRAND SPANKIN NEW€¦.WAR! Except this time it is different, this time all the robots weigh 150gs or less, fit in a four inch cube and have a separate, micro scale arena!

*crowd goes€¦€woooooo!€ *

Jack: so without further ado lets pass over to harry at the mini arena!

Harry: thanks jack! And welcome fans to the new arena! It€™s like our old arena except a lot smaller! So€¦ here are the robots!

Bobcat! *a crusher that€™s itching to put the squeeze on the other competitors!*

Spark! *an ant weight version of lightning, will this robot spark and flash out, or will it use its speed to bulldoze its way to victory?!*

Flamberge! *this scary looking thing is entered by kody from little ol€™ Canada! Armed with a deadly spinning blade will this robot destroy all the other competitors?*

Umbx! *an ant version of mbx, this is a translational spinner with 2 BRUSHLESS motors for drive!*

Microforce 3.0! *a 4wd rammer with a wedge and 1.5 polycarb/ 1mm ti for armour!*

Katjuscha! *a widely known ant with a reputation for destruction! A deadly spinning blade makes this one hard to beat!*

Jack: And now over to tom for the commentary!

Tom: thanks jack€¦now! Onto the fight!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!

Tom: let micro carnage begin! And€¦oh dear they€™re zooming off already! As umbx begins its twirl of doom micro-force zips around manically and Katjuscha spins up€¦whoa! That€™s loud! And now the other spinners join in€¦what an orchestra! Mozart eat your heart out! Spark franticly darts away from bobcat but€¦too late as he gets gobbled up by the crusher! But I don€™t see any major damage! Umbx is twirling and spinning around the arena but not hitting anything so far€¦and€¦no, it almost hit katjuscha! Phew, that was close!

Spark has been released by bobcat but is hovering dangerously near flamberge, and OH OUCH! The disk rips into spark and€¦a huge gouge has appeared in the side armour, will spark be able to move? He appears to be hobbling along€¦so he€™s okay for€¦oh wait! Flamberge comes in again€¦ouch! And that appears to have knocked out spark! Ow! Poor old spark ganged up on€¦.and destroyed! Now one is down! One more to go! Umbx has nudged the pit release button and it descends down €¦will an ant go down?

Micro-force is trying to get round the back of katjuscha (who has been keeping out of harms way for most of this fight) but€¦oh! He hits the disk! And one side has been ripped off! With a large amount of fraying to the front! But he€™s still moving! Oh! And where did that come from?! Sparks corpse has been thrust across the arena by the flipper! And has landed€¦hahaha! In the pit! Umbx is thwacking away at micro-force but in comes flamberge€¦oooh the sound is deafening! Ouch! Umbx has been tossed away€¦into katjuscha! And€¦oh! He collides with the disk and€¦HE GETS CHUCKED OUT OF THE ARENA!!! Oooh! So unlucky! He was on the attack and€¦boom! Out the arena€¦wow I€™m gobsmacked€¦so€¦back to you jack€¦wow€¦

Jack: whoa, my mouth is still hanging open, the ant weights are so much fun! So€¦.spark and umbx go out€¦and micro-force, katjuscha, bobcat and flamberge go through! We came, we saw, we had fun on micro w.a.r, goodnight!
