Well, it doesnt look like the purpose I was saving them for is going to be fulfilled any time soon, so Ill just post them. Check out the low rider!

Name: Automatic Schmuck
Motivation: Wheeled (x 4, 120mm diameter main, 30mm €˜castor€™ front wheels)
Speed: 24.16KM/H (15.10 MPH)
Weight: 98.42kg
Height: 130mm at peak; variable from 28mm upwards.
Length: 870mm
Width: 743mm
Ground Clearance: 0 at sides w/ skirting, 0 at rear with €˜hinged€™ wedge, 0 at front with wedge; 12mm at the point nearest the back wheels otherwise, down to 5mm at the front wheels.
Weapon: 17.14kg kinetic-energy bar. 13.10kg, 111.2cm long bar, 2 2.02kg hardox weights (one at each end). It€™s powered by a C40-300 on a separate power supply at 24V, which when geared down 2.4:1 gives me a safe 1700RPM (spin-up = less than 0.5 seconds), and a heck of a lot of KE to transfer at the tips. The weapon system is held securely in place on steel box-section supports parallel to the wedged top of the robot, minimizing shock output to the rest of the robot.
Drive: 4 S28-300 3€ MagMotors, 2 on each rear wheel, on 24V. This gives me easily 10HP and a lot fo torque despite the healthy speed.
Batteries: 2 x 24V 3Ah Battlepacks (drive), 2 x 12V 3Ah Battlepacks (weapon). They are all shock-mounted, and slot together due to the unique curving on the outside of Battlepacks, allowing secure holding.
Chassis/Armour:
Chassis: 30 x 30 x 4mm Ti/V box section.
Armour: 13mm Ti/V all round. The skirting is 9mm Hardox plating, as they are all very small, and the two wedges are made from 6mm Hardox plating.
Electronics: Runs a RoboWars.org BMC speed controller with Hitec Focus SS-3 75mhz PCM 3ch Radio and a 3-axis computer Gyro for maxium control and handling. Uses 150amp rated Anderson power pole connectors and locking pins. Electronics are shock mounted and mounting in a floating style encased in HD (High Density) foam.
Notes: Spinning upside down, paired with the wedged style of the bot, allows a very quick & easy form of self-righting. Designed to knock the shit through some more superbots, for old times€™ sake.

Weight:

Weapon arm = 17.14kg
Wheels = 2.21kg
Gearboxes = 4.20kg
Batteries = 7.38kg
Armouring = 29.86kg
Weapon mounting and weapon drive components = 9.14kg
Weapon motor = 5.04kg
Electronics = 1.2kg
Drive motors & mounts= 12.25kg
NutsnBolts + Other pieces = 10kg max. Probably about 6.4.

Maximum weight: 98.42kg

Pic obviously on profile.

Cheers Tom, now here is the draw. Tactics and predictions anyone?

The Reindeer vs. Darth Dread
Avalanche vs. Clawdius Decimus Murderous
Battle Raptor 3 vs. Van Tango
PowerPoint Reaches Pressure-Point vs. Automatic Schmuck

I will grab drath dread from the sides or rear and show it where the pit is. The hammer wont damage me as linear actuators are very slow and not that powerful.

AJWARS CHRISTMAS RUMBLE
ROUND 1
Avalanche VS CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS
Main tactics here will be to manouevre under the low sides (should be achievable with my spikes and Firestorm blade). From there, itll be a case of squeezing through the titanium or puncturing the tyres before dragging it off to any nearby Pit.

As for the other fights, Ill take Kody, Richie and Lord Roper to clain victory in the other duels

(PS to the Reindeer - you cant get 3mm Hardox :wink

[martyn]

AJWars Christmas Rumble

armour is now 3.6mm, happy now?

[kodster]

AJWars Christmas Rumble

Yeah, just try to grab me from the sides

And I believe The Judge uses linear actuators for its hammer, so NO DAMAGE?! *grins maniacally*

Tactics: Ram him full at the front, and start to smash him to pieces. About 1 or 2 hits should be enough to kill him, even with 3.6mm hardox armour the insides will move around a lot and Ill very likely dislodge a motor. Maybe if Im lucky I might hit a claw, but then thats just plain toying with him

Team Gore - Canadian, and damn proud of it!

[martyn]

AJWars Christmas Rumble

Nope acording to the battle bots website the judge uses a pneumatic hammer.

[kodster]

AJWars Christmas Rumble

Oops, allow me to make mods to Darth Dread in 5 minutes :wink:

Edit: Im doing this because it might screw him up in other tournaments

Team Gore - Canadian, and damn proud of it!

Avalanche vs Clawdius

Here I will manouver Avalanche around to the sides and rear and push him around the arena. I probably wont be able to get under him, but I will try to open the pit and attempt to shove him in it. The red nose on the wedgw will be flashing throughout the battle as well!

[kodster]
