The tournament formerly known as FFW

[steven_mcg]

Re: The tournament formerly known as FFW

Add in Killotine: EVO (same as always) and Venus Fly Trap II for me, ta.

Venus Fly Trap II
SHAPE- box with wedges on all sides
COLOUR- green with ugly great mouth on top
WEIGHT- about 100kg, I hope.
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 95cm X 20cm
SPEED- 12mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm, though the wedges and spatulas should provide some extra protection
ARMOUR- 3.75mm Hardox
MOVEMENT- 4 x inner wheels
POWER- 2 x C40-500 MagMotors. These will run at 36v and produce approximately 12hp.
WEAPONS- On either side of Venus Fly Trap II is what appear a rear-hinged flipper with a large spatula, covered in barbs. These are the 'jaws' and are powered by an 80mm x 120mm pneumatic ram each, running at 250psi. The idea is that an opponent is scooped up on top of the robot or gets stuck on one of the spatulas, the 'jaws' fire simultaneously and ensnare it like a real venus fly trap.
SRIMECH- A rear-hinged arm on top. Powered by a separate S28-400 MagMotor geared 250:1 for quick and easy self-righting.
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, thanks to Joey for aiding in the design
STRENGTHS- Unique weaponry, powerful, well-protected, nimble

Win/Loss Ratio: N/A

Empty Inside

Can flip up to 300kg and can lift up to 400kg, much like Achilles itself, it is a full body flipper, which means that the front wedge and the top, fire towards the back of the robot, the sides do not flip up though

Vaporbot that needs to be inserted, or so I've been told, will be my new one that I literally JUST finished, Macha, and she will be found in the same place as the others.

Realie will be Mighty Mouse, if that's ok. XD

So, thoughts, tactics, predictions?

[kodster]

Re: The tournament formerly known as FFW

Tactics, predictions? Gladly. Only will do the first round though. :P

Heat A

Volcano v Eye of Ran II

Think Joey can manage this one.

Wharthog v Sauron

Well since I have to give viable tactics, uh...drive straight at Sauron, hit it, and stop moving due to utter failure? :P

Heat B

Terrorhurtz v Pain

Erm, obviously Terrorhurtz.

Equinox v SOTAR

Depends on what set-up Lewis uses, but I'll say SOTAR anyway.

Heat C

Traffic Warden v Compression

Traffic Warden has this, I think.

Super Gore Eahta v Nurse Pain

Nurse Pain is over the limit for shufflers. :P Regardless, just ram into it, push it down the pit. Doesn't worry me much, it'll take a while to get up to speed.

Heat D

Chaos 2 v Knyfe

Chaos 2 may be getting on in years, but it's still one of the better flippers. I think Paul may be in for a rough shock as Chaos 2 gets another OOTA.

Slicer v Armageddon

Having been shown a video of Slicer (by Joey), I think Lewis can take him on.

Heat E

Under Pressure v Bloody Frigid

Under Pressure needs to act very quickly and get those claws under the sides of Frigid, before Tracy gets under Martijn's front. There's a very good chance of that happening, so Tracy should win.

The Servant's Assistant v Flirty Skirty

...sorry Joey. XD Lian should win.

Heat F

Overkill v Druid 2.0

...lift 800kg and flip 500kg? :P Err...well anyway it looks like Overkill may actually win this one. So I say he will.

Harraz v No Consequences

I think Paul could win this one. NC can spin, but it needs time to get to full speed...and when Joey stops spinning, he'll have to re-orient the lifting arm, if he wants to use it. Ample time for Harraz to come in and shove it somewhere unpleasant.

Heat G

Nemesis v Mobile Failure 2.5

Um...drive over the flame pit, melt into a puddle of burnt fur, oil, and liquid metal, and celebrate Tracy's win with some Bacardi afterwards?

Tsunami v Gabriel V

I always thought Gabriel was one of the oddest vapourbots you could fight. It's hard to attack, but at the same time it's hard for it to effectively attack you with those nose spikes and ears, and those skirts won't protect the rat forever. :P Regardless, it'll be close, but I pick Tsunami.

Heat H

Exotherm v Mighty Mouse

Tracy! Invoke the power of Trevor Wright and...drive around the arena hoping Exotherm doesn't catch you!

Cassius v Venus Fly Trap 2

Is it that bad that I actually see Cassius winning?

Heat I

V for Vendetta v Metallic Doom

V for Vendetta, for me.

Steg-O-Saw-Us v Nidhogg Cubed

Obviously Nidhogg.

Heat J

Mega Hurts LT v Macha

Macha's first outing looks quite good, but Mega Hurts LT looks quite different in Series 7 than the version I remember (Series 6, I think )...but nah, polycarb armour means you're screwed, buddy.

Haardvark v Supersonic

I'm trying to remember what Supersonic is...I think it's one of Paul's machines. But I don't see Haardvark making it very far in this fight, anyway.

Heat K

Fissure v Tira VII

Wait, what?! WHERE'S WEDGA?!? ;n;

Erm, ignore that.

I am going to try and damage the 4mm Hardox lifting arm so it doesn't work anymore, then toss him over so he can't self-right. Or at the very least, keep hitting him so he can't set up an attack. Tira VII's awkward shape would be hard for him to control, and my spin-up time is almost instantaneous anyway. I'll keep the disc locked at 1000rpm, though (0.3 second spin-up time!!!), so I don't kill myself...69kJ injected into a compact robot like that would really mess him up good, and I don't see any shockproofing in the stats...

V'Ger v Empty Inside

Right, uh...barring the fact that Lian needs to know how to stat pneumatic rams correctly :P I think he can take Tracy out. 6mm titanium won't last long against that disc, though.

Heat L

Sheer Heart Attack 2 v Lime-y

Nah, Martijn has this in spades, methinks.

Blast v Vertigo

Lewis should be able to handle this.

Good luck one and all =D
