Cassius 2 (S3)
Typhoon 2 (S7)
Firestorm (latest version)
Phrizbee (BB5.0)

Name: Ze Newie
Motivation: Wheeled (x 4, 120mm diameter)
Speed: 16.02 KM/H (10.01 MPH)
Weight: 96.93kg maximum.
Height: 250mm down to 156mm.
Length: 956mm
Width: 790mm
Ground Clearance: 12mm at sides and rear, ~0 at front with the shovel.
Weapon: The €œweapon€ so to speak is a pneumatic Biohazard-style arm. It€™s powered by two 100mm bore, 140mm stroke rams at 150psi, giving enough force to throw other bots over with ease. However, its purpose is more to self-right the robot than anything (35 flips, mainly conserved for that purpose), as the main weapon is in the indestructible nature of the robot and the power of the drivetrain.
Drive: The drive is a pair of Perm PMG-132 motors at 36V (or 48V if the competition allows, kicking the speed up about 5-odd KM/H and increasing the torque likewise). They€™re geared down 4:1 onto a pair of 150mm hardox-hubbed wheels with Vulcanised rubber tires, and in the same gap chain-driven to the front pair of identical wheels (no geardown, of course). The torque & ramming power this thing has is incredible, especially with the traction.
Batteries: 6 x 24V 3Amp Battlepacks, giving 36V 12Ah. Another two can easily be added to give 48V 12Ah if the rules apply. All are shock-mounted to the chassis.
Chassis/Armour: The chassis acts as the armour in places; its solid (drilled) 30mm x 30mm Titanium/Vanadium Grade 5 alloy bars with holes drilled to keep weight down.
The armour varies in places; the wheel guards are 15mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy, the main body plates either side of the €˜weapon€™ are 20mm Ti/V and the back plate is 17.5mm Ti/V. The shovel, which almost acts as the front armour, is 20mm Hardox with the 15mm Ti/V front plates behind it.
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: The arm provides enough kinetic energy to overcome the inertia of the robot and flip it back over with ease and in a controlled fashion. The robot€™s driving ease cannot be overstated; half of the purpose the robot serves is to prove that ease of driving can outdo the most powerful, but uncontrollable, weapon. It corners like a dream on skid-steering and has brute force enough to outdo the pushiest of pushbots.

The other half of the purpose is to attempt to create an €˜immovable object€™ to match all the €˜irresistable forces€™ people are aiming at. Try breaking this one down; its impossible.

Weight:

Weapon arm = 3.67kg
Pneumatics system = 13.64kg
Wheels = 3.21kg
Gearboxes = 2.10kg
Batteries = 7.38kg
Armouring = 34.78kg
Weapon mounting and weapon drive components = 3.4kg
Electronics = 1.2kg
Drive motors = 22.55kg
NutsnBolts + Other pieces = 5kg max. Probably about 2.3.

Maximum weight: 96.93kg (allowing room for extra battery packs)

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

SURROUND SOUND IS A CLUSTERBOT. THE NEXT TWO STATS APPLY.

Amp Of Doom!

Motivation: Wheeled (x 4, 100mm diameter main, 30mm castors)
Speed: 16.20 km/h (10.125MPH)
Weight: 37kg maximum.
Height: 150mm, 190mm with control panel.
Length: 190mm
Width: 370mm
Ground Clearance: 8mm at front, sides and rear. 2kg of ballast and most of the components close to the floor makes it very, very hard to flip though.
Weapon: Drivetrain. It does have an active srimech behind the control panel powered by a third S28-400 on 24V. This rights it quickly & easily.
Drive: 2 x S28-400s on 24V geared down 7:1 onto 100mm custom-built vulcanized-rubber wheels on titanium hubs.
Batteries: 4 x 12V 3Ah Battlepacks.
Chassis/Armour: 10mm Grade 5 Ti/V alloy monocoque with steel corner protectors. It also has a 5mm Titanium grille on the front, made from many small straight pieces of 5mm Grade 5 to tangle and deflect spinners. It also has 6mm polycarbonate covering all surfaces, and 2kg of ballast on the floor to increase the difficulty of uprighting it.
Electronics: Runs a RoboWars.org IBC 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: The arm provides enough kinetic energy to overcome the inertia of the robot and flip it back over with ease and in a controlled fashion. This thing has ultimate driving ease, is impossible to break down in any way and has great pushing power, especially at this level.

The Cabinet

Motivation: Wheeled (x 4, 100mm diameter main, 30mm castors)
Speed: 16.20 km/h (10.125MPH)
Weight: 62kg maximum.
Height: 150mm, 190mm with control panel.*
Length: 190mm*
Width: 370mm*
(dimensions not including cabinet in front, which is 190 x 520 x 400)
Ground Clearance: 8mm at front, sides and rear. 2kg of ballast and most of the components close to the floor makes it very, very hard to flip though.
Weapon: 1.5kW running through four 12€ Celestion speakers inside the cabinet, enough to easily blow a super-heavyweight backwards on kinetic energy alone.It operates at 17Hz (below human hearing range) at roughly 160dB, 10000 times the threshold of pain!
Drive: 2 x S28-400s on 24V geared down 7:1 onto 100mm custom-built vulcanized-rubber wheels on titanium hubs.
Batteries: 4 x 12V 3Ah Battlepacks.
Chassis/Armour: 10mm Grade 5 Ti/V alloy monocoque with steel corner protectors. It also has a 5mm Titanium grille on the front, made from many small straight pieces of 5mm Grade 5 to tangle and deflect spinners.
Electronics: Runs a RoboWars.org IBC 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: The arm provides enough kinetic energy to overcome the inertia of the robot and flip it back over with ease and in a controlled fashion. This thing has ultimate driving ease, is impossible to break down in any way and has great pushing power, especially at this level. It selfrights via either the speakers or a ram at the back of the cabinet, there are small round pieces on the small sides of the cabinet to stop it landing on them.

aka IDIOT

Ill find this one later, the version I want is somewhere on the FVA forums. :P

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Tom, is this the version of AKA IDIOT you want?
Team Name: Team SpunOut
City/Town/Suburb Representing: the Eastern End of Morphett Crescent, Perth, Australia XD
Robot Name: a.k.a. I-D-I-O-T
Length/Width/Height: 800mm diameter, 265mm height at center 400mm, sloping down to 100mm at outer circumference.
Weight: maximum 100KG. Should realistically be a few under.
Motivation: 4 120mm diameter titanium custom-made omniwheels, 2mm rubber tyres on each omniwheel tread.
Speed: 6.68KM/H (4.175MPH)
Weapon: Shell-spinner, powered by a 100cc KT 2-Stroke Go-Kart motor at roughly 4:1 on a fuel supply. The shell weighs 28.2KG and has 4 1KG tool-steel €˜claws€™ on it at a height of 5cm from the bottom of the shell to still catch all the low bots without threatening the arena. It spins at a controlled 3200RPM with a VERY short spinup time.
Drive: 4 AstroFlight C90s on 24V, each geared down 10:1 to give 900RPM output.
Power: 4 24V 3Ah Battlepacks, 2 litres of fuel & a 5th C90 as a starter motor for the YZ.
Armour: It has a drilled titanium/vanadium 2cm x 2cm bar chassis in the cone shape, and the shell itself is made of 6mm Hardox with various reinforcements of 10mm Titanium/Vanadium.
Ground Clearance: 1cm
Turning Circle: 0. Obviously.
Notes: Rights itself via a pole in the middle of the flat top, which pokes out in four directions to right it on any side. Can travel in any direction at any time, and can outpush a lot of bots. Speed is no worry due to the INSANE shell-spinner firstly, and the torque secondly. I can comfortably push others when I run out of weapon power, and I have the batteries to very, very comfortably go the distance.

With all respect Dave, if you dont have much time and you have 37.5% of your bots not even started, why not replace them with real robots like I did?

I tried that recently with Pistola, but couldnt get around to it. And it held the tournament in question up. So I withdrew it, and thats why I have 3 or 4 real robots- I have the vapourbots to fill the spots, but they arent anywhere near ready.
