OK so none of these are strictly new, but I was out of ideas :P
First, edited stats for Maximum Genocide (thanks for pointing that out dude, sorry can't remember/don't know your name :P)
Robot Name: Maximum Genocide
Shape: Triangle, ala Y-Pout
Weight: 100kg
Length: 80cm
Width: 80cm
Height: 12cm
Motivation: 3 x internal hardox wheels, one in each point, 125mm in diameter.
Drive: 3 x S24-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 3 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks to make a Y-Drive, one powering each wheel
Armour: 4mm hardox monocoque plus internal shockproofing
Weaponry: At each point of the triangle there are curved tungsten carbide claws that catch onto other robots when the robot spins with the Y-drive, but this is only part of the weapon. On top of the robot there is a horizontal Tornado-Mer style spinning blade, powered another 3 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 3 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks to reach top speeds of 2500rpm in 2 seconds, as the blade weighs 25kg. It spins in the same direction as the robot, and is 90cm long so it reaches out 5cm each point, exactly the same as the claws so that there is a huge amount of damage caused.
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: It€™s a Y-Drive
Ground Clearance: 10mm
Srimech: Gyroscopic forces ala Tornado Mer will act on the blade, flipping it back over
Colour: Black with yellow stripes, the claws are red to look like blood, as is the blade.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: Can€™t push anything

5
Robot Name: Volde
Shape: Box with wedges on all sides
Weight: 100kg
Length: 90cm
Width: 90cm
Height: 25cm
Motivation: 2 x internal 80mm diameter wheels with vulcanised tyres
Drive: 2 x Bosch 750w motors @ 36v
Batteries: 3 x 12v A123 batteries
Armour: 3.2mm hardox, the base armour is 4mm aluminium
Weaponry: All three weapons work in unison to clamp opponents:
1) Overhead axe, powered by an S28-400 @ 24v, it is 90cm long and made of titanium
2) Splinter-style side arms, each powered by an S28-400 @ 24v Each is identical to the axe. There are hinged, and so when the lifting plate lifts and the axe goes up they do too
3) A Complete Control style lifting plate, powered by an S28-400 @ 24v, it is made of titanium and runs flat to the ground to get under skirts and 0 ground clearance
None of the weapons are designed to damage the opponent, just hold them in place
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at front, 7mm elsewhere
Srimech: The axe can right the robot quickly and easily
Colour: Dark blue bodywork with red and gold weapons, the name wriiten in green on the sides and in purple on the rear
Strengths: Weapon Synergy
Weaknesses: No damaging weaponry
6
Robot Name: Helix
Shape: Tornado (including the angled rear) with angled sides, skirts and a front wedge
Weight: 100kg
Length: 80cm
Width: 80cm
Height: 9cm
Motivation: 4 x vulcanised wheels
Drive: 2 x S28-400s at 24v, 9HP, powered by 2 x NiCad battlepacks
Armour: 3.25mm hardox top, sides, front and rear, 5mm titanium skirts and 5mm aluminium base
Weaponry:
1)The front wedge is made of 3.25mm hardox and has a wedge extender for zero ground clearance at the front
2)A front 65cm long hardox axe, the head is shaped like Excalibur€™s from RW3 and it€™s on a rack and pinion system ala Terrorhurtz. It is powered by a 140mm stroke, 80mm bore cylinder at 1000psi from 1 x 2kg nitrogen bottles, the point is tungsten tipped and the underside serrated to really dig into opponents, it is on a rack and pinion system and there is enough gas to provide about 15 hits per fight which should be more than enough considering the power in each hit, there is about 2 tonnes of force in each hit when at full pressure and is enough to destroy aluminium, punch holes in titanium and even dent hardox
3)There are two tungsten tipped hardox spikes on either end of the angled rear
4)The front wedge lifts up via a linear actuator, this is used to flip opponents and attack their base armour with the axe or to lift and then ram or clamp when using this in unison with the axe. It has two spikes that run flush to the floor to help get under other robots
5) Not exactly a weapon, but it has a vacuum device to suck the robot to the floor. This is used to counter-act the effects of the axe and help it fight rammers and flippers. It can be turned on and off throughout the match, but unless I say so assume it will be turned on.
Top Speed: 17mph
Ground Clearance: Effectively 0 all round due to wedge at front and skirts at sides and rear, but 20mm behind them, they are all joined together with tungsten hinges to make them extremely hard to break
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The axe is long enough to right it over the wedge
Colour: Black with some green and red
Strengths: Powerful axe and decent pushing power
Weaknesses: High GC behind the skirts
Notes: Plenty of shock-proofing
7
Robot Name: Final Resting Place
Shape: Cylinder
Weight: 100kg
Length: 85cm
Width: 85cm
Height: 15cm
Motivation: 8 x Big Nipper style small wheels, 4 on top and 4 on the bottom, they are made of HDPE and have vulcanised tyres
Drive: 4 x S28-150s @ 24v, 6HP
Batteries: 4 x NiCad Battlepacks
Armour: 1mm titanium for the side (though that is untouchable) and 5mm hardox on top and base
Weaponry: A spinning spike ring similar to that of Del-Dog's (RW UK vs. Germany special), it runs the full circumference of the robot and spins up to 3000rpm in 3 seconds courtesy of a LEM-130 @ 48v. It weighs 25kg and can reach 1500rpm in 1.5 seconds, from where it can produce 72.5Kj, so at 3000rpm it can deliver 145Kj. To protect from its own and other hits it has internal shockproofing, the ring itself is made of 10mm titanium. The blades are curved spikes made of tungsten and weighing 2.5kg each, they are part of the ring so cannot be ripped off. This weapon is capable of serious damage
Speed: 20mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 8mm
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Red, with name in green on top and base and a gold ring with sapphire blades
8
Robot Name: System Shock 5.1
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: 110kg
Length: 65cm
Width: 85cm
Height: 9cm
Motivation: 4 x CNC Aluminium internal, but invertible wheels (110mm in diameter), 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.
Drive: 4 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v by 4 x NiCad battlepacks @ 24v
Armour: 4mm hardox monocoque, with 6mm in key areas
Weaponry: As before the robot is primarily a rammer, but it has a powerful new top mounted weapon. This is a 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. This is situated on top of the robot itself, and the blades reach just over the top of the front wedge and the rear. The tracks/wheels are higher than the disc, so it can still run inverted with this setup and use the disc as the blades are long enough. The disc is spun by 2 x S28-400 magmotors @ 24v and weighs 25kg, so can reach top speeds of 3000rpm in just 2 seconds. This disc also feeds kinetic energy to the drive via a clutch, so the kinetic energy stored in the disc can be used for 50mph slams against other robots, which with the robot€™s front wedge is enough to throw robots out of the arena Storm II-style.
Speed: Can be pushed to 28mph, but mostly kept lower for more control (about 17mph). With kinetic energy boost it reaches 50mph in less than a few seconds. 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: Goes back to the original colour scheme with light blue bodywork and the name written in yellow, this time on the front wedge
