With the Addition of AJ, I need 6 more robots (3 more people). I am waiting on Ben, so really we only need 2 more. Come on, I wanna write this fight already!!

Ben: Robo goat seems...plausable, so Ill enter him, just curious about the goat horns. Do they go over the top of the robot or beside the flipper (IE: to hold the robot in place so you can flip him whenever, like close to the wall or the pit) ?

Robo-Hedgehog is a little confusing. First, which set up will you be using for the rumble ? Second (and only answer if you plan to use it): can you elaborate on the curved teeth a bit ? Not sure I understand, and third: your batteries; 8 packs @ 36v = 2 sets of 4, 9v batteries. I am guessing the extra set for capacity benefits, but I dont think you can make a 9v pack from Nicads. You can get 9.6v Nicad packs. Up the operating voltage to 38.4v, then its based on real packs.

Cheers

Ben, would you mind me doing some CADs for you? (the robots you entered here for starters...)

[neontetra23]

Thats great Martijn, I was hoping someone would offer

For the CAD Ben, I have the same questions Dave had. Can you describe the goat horns a bit better? Are they part of the flipper or part of the main body? And can you describe setup 5 of the Hedgehog please?

[neontetra23]

FRA Royal Robot Rumble: 30 enter, 1 leaves

On Robo-Goat the horns are part of the body
on Robo-Hedghog I think that I have described setup 5 to the best of my knowledge

Is that 8 teeth high 5 teeth wide or 8 teeth wide and 5 teeth high? Teeth in vapourbots are mostly meant to describe those things you use on your disc, blocks of metal mostly. Are they curved blocks of metal? How do they face the rear (they are on the front of the robot right?) and if they face the rear than what does the rest face?

The way I have interpreted the weapon is...

the teeth are similar to Mutes barbs, in that they can trap opponents when they are trying to drive off the front wedge. However, according to Robo-Hedgehogs stats the shape is a box so I dont see how they would work...

and research told me goat horns face backwards, lol

[neontetra23]

FRA Royal Robot Rumble: 30 enter, 1 leaves

no, they face forwards, they do not get in the way of the flipper, they are more for use when i face invertible or robots able to self-right, thay are used to grab and hold while I drive towards the pit and then pit them
