Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

1. NAME- Hefty Kick in the Balls!
SHAPE- Reminds of Cerberus in S3 or 4, I think. Tapered rear with front scoops.
COLOUR- Grey, with Scottish flag scoops.
WEIGHT- 100kg
LENGTH- (L) 78 cm without disc, 151cm including skirts and wheel pods, (W) 105cm without, (H) 23cm without disc, 76cm with disc.
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front and skirts, 1cm everywhere else.
ARMOUR- 5mm titanium, 12mm titanium front
WHEELS- 2, interior wheels.
DRIVE- 2 x 36v Mag S28-400s
POWER- 4 x 36v Battlepacks
WEAPON 1- 75cm vertical disc, powered by two LEM130s at 36v, which spins at 2000rpm. Instant spin-up time.
WEAPON 2- Like you€™ll get past the first.
SRIMECH - None, though my driving, the skirts and the will ensure it doesn€™t get flipped. Actually it could possibly do an IG-88 due to the speed of the disc and the short length of the body.
SKIRTS- Side skirts, hinged.
NOTES- Should easily destroy a lot of bots and the scoops can both aid get under a lot of flippers and fend off other robots€™ weapons
SUMMARY- Destructive, indiscreet and designed to give the other bot a hefty kick in the balls!
STRENGTHS- Weapon, stylishness, and scoops
WEAKNESSES- Armour kinda sacrificed for extra weapon power.


2. NAME- Glasgow Kiss
SHAPE- Weirdly shaped, see picture.
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 86cm x 87cm x 22cm
COLOUR- Groovy tie dye effect, dude. Like someone€™s been painting the sports centre€¦
WEIGHT- 100kg
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 1cm elsewhere.
ARMOUR- 7mm titanium
WHEELS- 4, sellotape type
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s powered by 24v of 9Ah Nicads.
WEAPON 1- Double headed axe, powered by two pneumatic cylinders at 1000psi CO2 on a rack an pinion system
WEAPON 2-
SRIMECH - Of course, with the axe.
SKIRTS- None, due to curved sides.
NOTES- Each side of the axe is different.
SUMMARY- Part of Team Psychedelic Butterflies, and a spiritual replacement of Axe Murederer.
STRENGTHS- That axe.
WEAKNESSES- Could be flipped by an agile flipper.


3. NAME- Insecticide
SHAPE- A rounded main body with exterior sidepods
DIMENSIONS- (LWH) 122cm x 132cm x 21cm
COLOUR- Sleek dark grey
WEIGHT- 99.42kg
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0-1 cm
ARMOUR- 4mm titanium for main shell, 5mm titanium for the sidepods
WHEELS- 2, each in its own pod.
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s at 36v, 4 X 36v 3Ah NiCad packs
WEAPON 1- A 16kg, 66cm diameter horizontal disc, powered by a Briggs and Stratton E-Tek motor at 36v. This spins at approximately 1500rpm due to the 7:11 gear ratio and is 4cm off the ground.
SRIMECH - Invertible, due to a Scottish flag invertibility bar at the rear.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- My personal favourite of my renders
SUMMARY- Destructive disc backed up with decent drive.
STRENGTHS- That disc, agility
WEAKNESSES- It isnt painted red, and you know, red is the fastest colour, so it isnt the fastest robot of that exact same speed.


4. NAME- Scottishly Fictional
SHAPE- Modified Storm 2 shape, with a concave front.
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 75cm x 72cm x 16cm
COLOUR- Scottish flags all over
WEIGHT- 100 kg
SPEED- 20mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 5mm elsewhere
ARMOUR- 6-12mm titanium
WHEELS- 6, sellotape
POWER- 2 x LEM130s at 36v, 4 x 3Ah Battlepacks
WEAPON 1- Ramming spikes
WEAPON 2- Small 5kg disc in the scoop, in a little indent. This is powered by an S28-150 Magmotor at 24v, since 36v fries it. Interchangeable with a 20mm titanium anti-spinner scoop without an indent for a drum, which also have a rear mace on a chain for some FBS action, baby, yeah!
SRIMECH - Invertible
SKIRTS- No
NOTES- The weapon bay could be interchangeable if I€™m sufficiently bored enough to create new weapons.
SUMMARY- Storm 2 with a proper, reasonably damaging weapon
STRENGTHS- Speed, ramming, active weapon
WEAKNESSES- Lack of skirts could leave sides open to agile flippers.


5. NAME- Stratos-Fear
SHAPE- A sort of 4Wheel Drive Wheely Big Cheese.
COLOUR- Stealthy Black and Grey
WEIGHT- 100kg
DIMENSIONS- (L) With Flipper: 155cm, Without: 62cm (W) With flipper: 124cm, Without: 26cm each wheelpod. (H) 26cm
SPEED- 15mph, high acceleration
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- Dead zero at front, rising to about 1-2cm.
ARMOUR- 4-7mm RSP-707 T6, Dave found this, it has the same density as aluminium but is almost as strong as titanium.
WHEELS- 4, 4wd
DRIVE- 2 24v LEM130€™s, geared for good speed and acceleration, powered by 3 x 24v 3Ah NiCad battlepacks.
WEAPON 1- 130cm pneumatic flipper. This thing is powered by THREE 420mm x 80mm full pressure rams, running off three nitrogen tanks, with one extra as a buffer. It has a travel of 115 degrees. This should comfortably launch another heavyweight far into the air, better than WBC due to the increased power and length of the flipper.
SRIMECH - Axlebot, therefore it€™s invertible and can€™t really be flipped.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- Could probably flip about a tonne, and launch a heavyweight far into the air. Possibly the first 4 wheeled axle bot? Due to the shock, can probably kill another heavyweight in one or two flips. Overflip is now redundant because the flipper flops over due to the hollow axle connecting the two drive boxes. The flipper rides the ground, and due to the speed and low low angle can easily breach any skirts.
SUMMARY- Prepare to be launched into the stratos-fear!
STRENGTHS- That flipper, acceleration and speed.
WEAKNESSES- Armour is sacrificed a bit for extra power.


6. NAME- We€™ll buy you a new one tomorrow, Mrs Brown
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 100cm x 66cm x 14cm
SHAPE- Invertible box type clusterbot
COLOUR- Unpainted aluminium
WEIGHT- ~100kg, 50kg for each
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 5mm elsewhere
ARMOUR- 10mm 2014A Aluminium
WHEELS- 4, sellotape
POWER- 2 x 24v LEM130s powered by NiCads
WEAPON 1- Linear Actuated lifting arm
WEAPON 2- Linear Actuated lifting arm
SRIMECH - Maybe with the lifters, invertible
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- Each can lift and push 200kg
SUMMARY- Wham, bam, thank you Ma€™am!
STRENGTHS- Teamwork, pushing power.
WEAKNESSES- Each is only half the weight of a heavyweight.

7. T.B. (Total B*stard)

Stats coming soon


8. (Real Robot) Nightmare? If not, then Constrictor

[velociraptor]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Thanks, Scott! Nightmare has already been entered, so Ill give you Constrictor. No Maximum Velocity this time?

[alex_holt]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I give you:

Angel of the Abyss
Baldur
Tengu 6
Slammer 4
Heir to Black Panther 4 (please get Steve to give you the changes cos I dont have them on me)
Mortis (s4)
Achilles

http://www.geocities.com/alex_j_holtwww.geocities.com/alex_j_holt

and

Blizzard
SHAPE- two screws going forward so that the point faces towards the front, they are treaed in opposite directions and run parrallel to each ther, they are connected by a solid plate that runs across the second quarter from the back of the bot.

COLOUR- white and silver
WEIGHT- 100kg (unless you count it as a walker, in which case ill give you some changes)
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- around 3m
GROUND CLEARANCE- same as a cylinder on its side
ARMOUR- 6mm aluminium boron carbide
WHEELS- the two screws provide the movement, they allow the robot to move sideways, forwars or backwards but severly limit turning. The advantage however is that the traction generated is unparrallelled, able to get a grip against even the strongest of rambots due ot the large traction area. The threads are thick rubber and have a ridge every 2 inches.
POWER- uses 2 x LEM-130s at 48v
WEAPONS- At the front end of the screws two spinning weapon which twist into the armour to get a grip on it.
SRIMECH- invertible
STRENGTHS- unparralleled traction, fearsome pushing, you cant fight it by pushing it from the sdie, itll push back harder
WEAKNESSES- abysmal turning, not too hard to flip

[knightrous]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Name: Infusion
Motivation: Wheels/Tracks/Shuffles
Speed: 16/14/10MPH
Weight: 100kg
Height: 180mm
Length: 800mm
Width: 800mm
Weapon: Infusion has the following weapon set ups:

Spinner Mode:

This weapon is built into the robot at all times. The weapon is a FBS ring spinner that is two stage. The outside shell is a light 10kg Rim while the inside one is a heavier 15kg rim. The inner rim is spinning all the time, storing energy before the battle begins, being powered by a 17HP 24000RPM Stihl Chainsaw motor (Astro 40 motor used for starter on it). The inner rim spins up to 3500RPM before the battle, this is allowed as it is a storage device and not an actual weapon. The inner rim is then turned into a large electromagnet and sticks the 10kg outer flywheel onto it and spins it up in under 1-2sec. This gives the weapon a speedy spin up time, gives it the ability to be turned on and off all the time with out having to spin the weapon up from zero, gradually generating the energy needed. This makes it impossible to stall as the outer shell can just be turned off when needed. KE is around 180KJ€™s. Enough to tear panels off opponent and give them a rough time.

Flipper/Lifter Mode:

A flipper is powered directly from the inner 15kg rim. This is then geared 120:1 flipper or 380:1 lifter which changes the gearing via radio gear. The flipper/lifter is powered via a cam that is mounted under the flipper and drives the flipper up using the kinetic energy from the inner rim. There is enough energy to throw around 400-500kg. The flipper is a dual fork style flipper made from 4mm Hardox and is braced. This is designed to slide under the lowest of robots and flip them. It€™s also been engineered specifically to flip The Disc and any other robots in it€™s profile. Between the forks is enough room for the flywheel to slide in with out hitting the body and then flip. I€™m sure Frankie will have some words on this (Sorry for the lack of details on the mechanism here, but I€™m rushing this as it is)

Other Modes: Not enough time to create them. But they are a Crusher and Beta Style Hammer. They are not to be used for this series as they are not fair for others if I make them up half way through.

Drive: Infusion does not have a single set drive. Infusion has a modular drive train that can be changed from 6 Volcalon wheels powered by two LEM130€™s, to Tracks powered by LEM130€™s to Shuffle Plates powered by€¦€¦LEM130€™s. The drive is simple unbolted out and is bolted in to suit the opponents. This will also allow different combination with different weapons as if using a motivation type that will allow a slightly heavier weight limit.
Batteries: 36v @ 9AMP
Armour: 4mm Hardox/5mm Hardox and T7075 Aluminium (Inner armour)
Notes: A fully interchangeable robot, including weapon and drive.

Advantages: Weaponry, interchangeable, unique.

Disadvantages: Not the fastest in the arena.


RIPCAGE will be up tommorow and my tactics are up next.

[knightrous]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

HEAT A
The Disc 4 (1) vs Biohazard vs Infusion vs Panic 3 GTI 2

Martyn and I are teaming up here. Im going after The Disc 4. Hopefully causing some damage and taking out the Champion very early in the series. TD4 cant damage me, so Ill just have to damage him.

HEAT C
Warhead (21) vs 2Blue vs Iron Awe 3 vs Not Another Pushover 2

Get the dome roaring and do some of those w00tie gyro force dances. maybe even attack some opponents too

HEAT H
Razer (31) vs Dantomkia vs Mortis vs Tough As Nails

Big Trouble here, I have to get behind TAN and take out the ram or Put a hole in DTK and put it in the pit. Mortis will be the one to attack last.

HEAT I
Push-Ish (16) vs Dallas vs Nightmare vs The Ultimate Wedge

Push-ish sounds like a rammer, So we might be able to team up. Im going for Nightmare as soon as the buzzer goes, get in there, under the disc, stall it and flip! game over.

HEAT K
Annoying Box Rush (12) vs Firestorm V vs Mr Nasty vs Rip Cage

Ill spin up the flywheel on RIPCAGE and attack FireStorm. Will probably get some Annoying Box Rushes from Nick, so Ill just keep dodging his attacks.

HEAT L
Black Chalkie Beard (26) vs Gyrate vs Insecticide vs Sonic Boom

First Battle for Gyrate. Lets hope it makes a very big IMPACT Aiming to spin up here, get that 1.4MJ happening and attack who ever has the weakest armour. then move onto whatevers left.

HEAT M
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 ( vs Dieceratops Invertus vs Infernal Contraption vs Tsunami 2

TEAR THEM ALL TO PIECES!!!! ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK! Destroy them all till nothing is left moving. *Insert Megalo Maniac smilie here*

HEAT O
Killotine Evo (4) vs Mother Of All Bricks 2 vs Terrorhurtz vs Wrecktangle

Im the Brick with a lotta push! Im going to try to stack them all in the pit. Maybe Stevo and I can team up in this.

I think this is the first time ever that I have posted a full set of tactics for every robots battle!
