  • The Crash & Burn Mini-Tournament of Death 5

    I'll still be as active as ever on other forums, but here marks my official retirement from at least tournament writing. If activity peaks up again, I'll still compete, still redesign my machines. But from here on in, I'm putting the pen down.
    This is what I had to say after my major series, Crash & Burn 5, went pants. However, because it went pants, I feel I owe it to you guys to at least give you a proper send-off, if this is truly the end of FRA Fanfic. So I'm picking up Ye Olde rusty pen again.

    So, like last mini-tournament, I need 12 people to enter 2 heavyweight vapourbots.

    Entry rules
    - No flying or hovercraft robots :P
    - Clusterbots are allowed, but they must be at most 4 bots weighing up to 100kg together. (weight limits apply for clusterbots too, but only if ALL the bots in the cluster have the same type of motivation)
    - You can only have a maximum of 3 active weapons going at the same time
    - Interchangeable robots are also allowed, but you may only use 5 attachments for the entire tournament if you have more than 5 attachments.

    Weight limits for the robots:

    - 100kg for wheeled machines, machines with treads (El Diablo Grande) and tracks (101).
    - 110kg for shufflers (Son of Whyachi)
    - 150kg for true walkers (Clawed Hopper)

    The format of the tournament will be 3 heats of 8 robots. 2 robots go through from each heat. Now, unlike last tournament, the Grand Final will be comprised of 3 1v1 fights. The losers then duke it out in the losers' melee, from which one robot goes back into the running. From there it's 1v1 until we have a winner!

    The arena will be much different now! Casino Night Zone, blueprinted by NWOWWE (Josh Noel) and rendered by myself! House robots will also be redesigned for this tournament, and will occupy the corners that don't have pulverizers. I will update this as necessary, but half of the house robots are redesigned already and the arena only needs some tweaking.

    And that should be it. Get those entries in, everybody!

                          I'm going to enter WhipCoil and Coldforge.

                          Coldforge

                          Shape: Circular
                          Colour: Blue ring, white chassis with a black "plus" in the center as well as a blue diamond. It's hard to describe if you can't see the pic.
                          Weight: 100kg
                          Armour: 1/4 in. aluminum on the top and bottom
                          Drive: 4x Magmotor 150s
                          Power: 4 12-16ah NiCad packs
                          Motivation: 4x diamond-tread foam rubber tires
                          Top Speed: 13-14 mph

                          Weaponry: Friction-driven ring with two teeth and six beaters. The entire ring is one piece of metal. The ring itself is constructed out of 1/3 in. titanium and powered by an E-Tek motor that powers two wheels, which drive the ring. (this is a setup similar to BB veteran Ringmaster's)
                          Srimech: invertible

                          WhipCoil:

                          Shape: Basically Diesector, with wheel guards
                          Colour: Green, the jaws are a lighter green and have evil eyes
                          Weight: 100 kg

                          Top Speed: 15-16 mph
                          Ground Clearance: 2cm at the front, 3mm at the sides, rear plow is 2mm and the jaws can press into the ground for zero ground clearance
                          Turning Circle: 0
                          Dimensions: 75cm x 50cm x 25cm
                          Weaponry: Pneumatic jaws at the front made out of powered by a similar system as Diesector (the top and bottom jaws can move independently)and made out of the same aluminum as the chassis, as well as a rear plow made of 1/4 in. hardox.
                          Srimech: invertible

                              All right, I managed to get the arena up at last. And here it is.

                              Casino Night Zone - version 1.5

                              Yep! This Sonic-inspired stage has it all! A hammer corner, a bumper corner, and 2 Corner Patrol Zones. Drive over the middle slot in the slot machine to activate it (every 30 seconds), and if you get three in a row, the automatic hazards dish out MORE PAIN! Also some paddles and springs on opposite walls will send you for a loop!
