  • The Crash & Burn Tournament - Ants! Ants! Ants!

    (cookie for the song reference, in the title :P)

    This is another attempt to get me back into the writing. It's going to be a purely antweight tournament.

    I need 8 people to enter 1 antweight vapourbot, or an antweight realie that they personally own.

    AWS rules for antweights apply, including the arena... http://www.antweight.co.uk/rules.htm for convenience.

    This will be a straight-forward 1-on-1 knockout tournament. Win all the battles, win the tourney.

    I will leave sign-ups open for one month, plenty of time to create a new antweight, be it realie or vapour, for this. If, for some reason, I don't have enough antweights, I will fill spaces with realies, so be warned!

    Well I think that's all that needs to be said, so get entering!

                        Yeah, kinda have to eat my own words here. :P Thanks for the entries, guys, they look quite good enough.

                        Dunno what good extending the deadline will do, but I'll add another month because I'm not quite ready to start writing yet, so get the entries in by Oct 23rd people.

                          I'm too distracted to make another ant (you know exactly why, Kody. :P), so I'm just going to enter Skeith. You know where he is. But for those of you who don't, it's over here.

                          It is also on ZED as I recall, but my newish laptop lacks the favorited link so...

                            I'll enter my real antweight, Kruger

                            Name: Kruger
                            Weight: ~150g
                            Length: 100mm
                            Width: 115mm
                            Height: 55mm
                            Drive: 2x Pololu 30:1 gearmotors (1000RPM @ 6V) on 11.1v (1850RPM) with Pololu 32mm wheels.
                            Controller: Modified Spektrum module with B-328 robot controller.
                            Battery: 11.1v 3S 240mAh 45C Hyperion LiPol battery
                            Weapon: 110mm x 3.2mm (cutting diameter x thickness), 22gram, 1 tooth counter weighted hardox spinning bar. Powered by a Turnigy 2204T-1400KV brushless motor @ 11.1v (15500RPM). Approx 85joules of kinetic energy. Uses a Turnigy Plush 25amp Brushless controller.
                            Armour/Chassis: 2.5mm Carbon Fibre Chassis and 1mm polycarbonate shell.
                            Notes: Selfrights via weapon.




                            Youtube Video - former version of Kruger (Known as Scarlet). Just gives a rough idea of how the robot looks and moves in the arena. First 45 seconds of the video is of my girlfriend Cait driving, it was her first event and the speed of the weapon was a hassle for her. Current version of Kruger and Scarlet have addressed the driving problem.

                            I don't frequent these forums much, so if the battles commence, someone just shoot me an email/pm/msn etc etc.

                              8 days past the deadline...bah.

                              Yeah, I'm turning this into a smaller tournament now, unless there's more motivation in the next coming seconds. :P

                              League set-up. 3 1v1 matches, bot who wins the most is the champ. If there's a tie, one final fight will determine the winner.

                              So...

                              Round 1
                              Kruger vs. Jigsaw V
                              Skeith vs. TransparANT 2.0

                              Tactics, if you so please.
