Hi everyone

This is not a tournement, this is a one off battle. For those that are familier with the WWE Royal Rumble, this wont need explaining, but for those that are not, let me explain:

You each enter 1 vapourbot robot each, 30 competitors allowed. 2 robots start in the arena, and after 1 and 1/2 minutes, another robot joins in. To win the Royal Rumble, simply eliminate your oppoent, by either immobilising it, Throwing it out of the ring, or throwing it down the pit. There are no House Robots for this. The weight limit will be raised to 120kg for extra batteries, as this fight is a long one. Once all 30 robots have entered the rumble, then the last robot standing is declared the winner. There is currently a real RW Royal Rumble fight in the writing, involving 30 robots from series 6 and 7.

Place your entrants now:
Note: Placement number is not decided on what order you submit a robot: IE: the first robot to be submitted will not be the first in the arena.

The Robot Wars Royal Rumble will be up soon

Ill enter with MORD.

M.O.R.D (MASTER OF ROBOT DESTRUCTION)
Weight: 104kg (normally 98kg, but extra batteries put on)
Shape: Its body is a box tilted at an angle because the front wheels are larger than the rear ones - its like Intraverter from Robotica if youve ever seen that, or Backlash with wheels instead of claws holding it up. On the sides are extra plates giving the wheels some side protection. At the front is the flywheel, and in front of the flywheel is the scoop, operated by rods going into the robot.
Dimensions: 85 x 30 x 15/45 (lowest/highest)
Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 0 at front due to scoop, 200mm behind scoop on either side of flywheel, 50mm under flywheel, 1mm-5mm at sides, 0 at back due to skirt, 1mm behind skirt
Armour: Body and wheel guards are 4mm titanium
Wheels: 4, inside robot, stick out the top so the robot can run inverted. The front wheels have no motors - they are turned by cords attached to the back wheels, like a skid steer system. Because the front wheels are larger than the rear ones to tilt the robot up, they have a high ground clearance at the front, so plates are welded onto the robots sides to protect them and lower the ground clearance.
Power: 24V battery and motors
Weapon: At the front is a titanium scoop which operates through 180 degrees, so it can work when the robot is upside down. Behind the scoop is a 10kg vertical spinning flywheel, spinning at 2000rpm, which comes into play if the scoop is lifted.
Srimech: Invertable; screws tapped into sides keep it from resting there
Tactics: Shove opponents with the scoop, then lift the scoop and attack with the flywheel
Strengths: Fast and manouverable; powerful flywheel
Weaknesses: Hard to control; can be flipped from sides

You interested in entering VFT5 BTW, Dave? Theres one place left.

*wonders if 10 kg of co2 and re-charging batteries will be any good *

Now, before I start this is not an arguement in any way shape or form...you and Matty have entered more tourneys since you have been retired than you did before

Well, I need to keep my robots healthy, just in case.

FRA Royal Robot Rumble: 30 enter, 1 leaves

You need to keep your robot healthy, so you enter it in a 30 robot death match. Nice one

Ill enter my brand new robot, Indisctructable. Here are its stats.

Indisctructable
Description: A copy of the early Storm 2
Weight: 98kg
Power: 2 F1 car batteries driving 2 750watt motors through a 6WD transmission giving 18hp and speeds of 20mph
Dimensions: 1.1m long x 0.8m wide x 0.3m high
Weapons: None!! It is built like a tank & is designed not to be damaged as it has the same grade titanium armour as Big Nipper.
Strengths: Fast, maneuverable, adjustable ground clearance, good control and strong titanium armour
Weaknesses: NONE!!

Theres also a pic on my profile of this machine

Mr Brisbourne, your obviously not to clued up on your designs, so Ill give you a little push along, 750watt motors do NOT produce 18HP. 750watts is equal to 1HP. So theoretically, you will only have a robot with 2HP of drive. There are featherweights with bigger drive trains then that. Also, im pretty sure F1 cars dont use large batteries like you would need as they carry onboard starter motors for the engines and they usually use a starter probe to start the engine, this saves lugging around 10kg in batteries. So you might want to look at using NiCD packs.

And dont forget to solve your motor problem.

Thanks for the tip, Aaron, Ill install some new specialist motors and speed controllers. So Im hoping for about 7hp at the least but well see.
