  • A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

    In Series One, Roadblock from Bodmin overtook the opposition and pasted Bodyhammer after a spectacular grand final to become the first Robot Wars champion
    In Series Two, Panic Attack surprised everyone after pitting the almighty Cassius to become our second champion
    The next two series saw Chaos II break a Robot Wars record as it not only became the first to flip a robot out of the arena, but the first to win two series in a row!
    Razer became the holders of the crown in Series Five, after crushing and biting its way to victory
    In Series Six, Tornado blew its enemies into submission in a grand final worthy of a Robot Wars brawl
    And Series Seven, the RAF and Typhoon went to new heights as the sixth Robot Wars champion!

    And now, after 5 years, Robot Wars makes its final return. And if you don't enter it, you'll simply have to read it

    But enough of the Road to Armageddon, or as I call it, the M4, and on with the main course

    The rules are different for this fan fiction net: I need eight people to enter one real robot and one vapourbot. Can six people please enter a featherweight and a middleweight (They can be either real or your own)

    Its a heavyweight tournament, set in the Series Seven arena. The house robots will be there as usual

    Normal weight limits apply, clusterbots, as many parts as wanted, are allowed, but once half are out, its all out

    Thanks for entering this. I know Robot Wars was sent off long ago, but surely we owe us, the fans, one more rumble

    See you tomorrow with some updates

    Ehhhh...weird...but...

    Why not, I'll enter with:

    Macduff the 4th (HW vapourbot)
    Surgeon General (Battlebots Season 5)

    As for otherweights:

    Heretic (FW)*
    Xianghua III (MW)*

    * - will probably update the renders for these bots

    All vapourbot stats can be found on the link in my sig.

            Ooh, sounds like a lark.

            HEAVYWEIGHTS:
            1. Traffic Warden
            SHAPE- square bracket, rounded rear
            COLOUR- black with a yellow stripe
            WEIGHT- 100kg, I hope
            DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 150cm X 25cm
            SPEED- 15mph
            TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
            GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm
            ARMOUR- 4mm Grade 5 titanium
            MOVEMENT- four inner wheels
            POWER- 2 x Etek-RT motors, running at 48v and producing 38hp.
            WEAPONS- Two vertical hydraulic clamps within the middle of the machine. Each clamp is powered by an 80mm x 40mm ram operating at 3000psi, delivering up to 10 tonnes of crushing power. When an opponent slips into the middle, the clamps activate and hold them in place. Traffic Warden can then drag them around and shove them into the nearest arena hazard. Think of it as Huggy Bear on steroids.
            SRIMECH- invertible, rounded rear should prevent it getting beached
            NOTES- flies Scotland flag, super special awesome thanks to Daniel Stickler, Martijn and AJ for helping with the design
            STRENGTHS- great traction, tough shell, fairly manoueverable, nippy, powerful grip
            WEAKNESSES- untested weapon, exposed ground clearance
            PIC- http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/1130 ... nalto6.png

            2. Tsunami (RW7)

            FEATHERWEIGHT:
            Rolling Pin FTW
            SHAPE- cylinder ala Barberous
            COLOUR- brown
            WEIGHT- approx 13kg
            DIMENSIONS- 30cm X 50cm X 20cm
            SPEED- 15mph
            TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
            GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm
            ARMOUR- 3mm titanium monocoque body
            MOVEMENT- 2 x outer wheels with a rolling pin handle on each
            POWER- 2 X 9.6v drill motors, running on 12v. The motors run on 4000Mah NiCad€™s, resulting in a 4amp battery
            WEAPONS- Why, the robot itself. Rolling Pin FTW is armed with a full-body spinning drum, powered by a Speed 900 at 24v, with a second 4amp battery powering it. The drum can reach speeds of 2000rpm for the perfect balance of spin-up and slaughter.
            SRIMECH- invertible
            NOTES- flies Scotland flag, cheers to Joey for help
            STRENGTHS- Fairly destructive, fast, manoueverable, well protected
            WEAKNESSES- low pushing power, may prove tricky to control
            PIC- http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/517/ ... ftwhs5.png

            MIDDLEWEIGHT:
            Killoteeny
            SHAPE- compact box shape with a front Storm 2-style wedge and a rounded rear
            COLOUR- red
            WEIGHT- about 50kg
            DIMENSIONS- 80cm X 60cm X 25cm
            SPEED- about 16mph
            TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
            GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 5mm at sides and back without skirts, 0mm at sides and back with skirts
            ARMOUR- 5mm polycarbonate
            WHEELS- inside robot, 4WD
            POWER- 2 X S28-150s, running at 24v
            WEAPONS- The main weapon is the large 180 degree pneumatic axe, very similar to that of Killerhurtz, which operates ala a rack-and-pinion system like Terrorhurtz. Running on 160psi, it really packs more than a punch and can very easily self-right the machine.
            Also, if anything should happen to the axe, then the robot can use the low wedge and great pushing power to resort to a Tornado-style tactic - ram to death!
            SRIMECH- The axe. Even if it€™s already been fired while flipped, the axe can right itself ala Killerhurtz, aided by a rounded back. Also, the machine has a rounded back and a red semi-sphere on either side of robot to stop it landing on its side.
            NOTES- flies the Scotland flag
            STRENGTHS- Fast, dangerous weapon, good amount of traction, difficult to get under, quick srimech, quite good armour
            WEAKNESSES- so-so turning
            PIC- http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/3106 ... enytj6.png

                      Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

                      Thanks, Martijn. You don't have to enter the seeds, you know, everyone

                      This is what it currently looks like

                      1: Typhoon II
                      2: Storm II
                      3: Tornado
                      4: X-Terminator

                      At the moment, though

                      1: Typhoon II (Champion)
                      2: X-Terminator (Fourth Place)
                      3: Gravity (Semi-Finalist)
                      4: Terrorhurtz (Didn't Do A Thing)

                      Ben, I assume your taking the S7 Gravity?

                      There are two places left and still some places in the featherweight and middleweight competitions

                            *Note: The following is an absolutely ridiculous question being asked to the almighty AJ.

                            Why not put in the all-powerful ForcePower Turbo, even though it's been replaced with Exertion?

                              Sorry I forgot to tell you this in the beginning, but your vapourbots have to come from somewhere. Real robots have to come from where they really do

                              And another thing I forgot (I feel like an idiot now) was the special events

                              World Championships (6)
                              Annihilator (6)
                              All Stars (At the end of the series, I'll pick the top six)

                              So sorry for those little things I missed, take your time please
