Martyn's Robot Wars Series 5

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

I would build a real robot, but it will take a large amount of time out of my other jobs, its coming upto a busy time for music reviewers, and as each album takes a few hours to do the review for, it knocks down the time I have free. Also in that remaining free time, I have to do gardening, so hence hardly no free time.

*Goes back to listening to new foos album*

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

That joke might have worked if it had any relevance, but seeing you just pulled it out of your arse...

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Ccan i swap Squish for the new version called Squishiest? Stats below.

Name: Squishiest
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium
Speed: 20mph
Shape: Low wedge
Weapon 1: A very powerful hydraulic crusher, with 14 tonnes of pressure at the tip.
Strengths: Very powerful crusher and strong armour. Good pushing power and good speed.
Weaknesses: Slow srimech.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to wrinkler device. 5mm at sides and 1cm at back.
Srimech: It uses a set of Razer style wings.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 LEM130 Lynch motors running at 36v, giving 20mph top speed and pushing power equivalent to 18HP. The robot has 6 inner Vulcalore wheels, which give tremendous traction. The crusher itself is made from 4mm Hardox, with 300 weight reducing holes. It is powered by an M-Mac M40 Hydraulic Actuator running at 12v, which can give 14 tonnes of pressure. The actuator has already been used in Robotic Combat, so this robot is realistic. The tip of the crusher is coated in carbon, so it can rip through Titanium easily. For the weapon to function properly, the robot contains 12 x 9.6-volt NiMh Radio Controlled Car Batteries, each weighing 12oz.

Danny, your actuator needs at least 115 Volts to be powered (From http://www.mmacactuators.com/techspecs.htmlhttp://www.mmacactuators.com/techspecs.html) and depending on whatever rules Martyn is using, the common Fra rules says either 36 or 60 volts max depending on whichever verison people read.

Just suggesting it

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Pussycat (17) V Flaming Hell V Vampire Killer
Go for pussycat, and rip it apart.
Squishiest(21) V drilla killa 7 V hurricane hugo
I dont wanna start anything here. Just get up to speed with both my thwacker and spinner and go berserk only when someones enough of a idiot to ram into me.
13 Black (16) V Juggerbee Pi V 4 swords
Send all four parts after Juggerbee, and try to destroy it.
Killertron (30) V Shovearound 2 V Salamander 3
Get under Killertron and ram it full speed into Salamander.

Panic attack 3 (14) V spawn again V terror gear 2
Heh, 2 bots of mine in the same heat. Have Spawny constantly flip Panic Attack, and then when its down, have Terror Gear 2 push it while having the drum nip away. When enough damage is caused, have the two gang up to push PA into the pit.
Chaos 2 (26) V Dr. Evil V Hell Machine
Go after Chaos 2, and If i can get under it, bring the saw down on it and leave it there until I can push him into a house bot. When he gets out, rinse, lather, repeat.
Wedge Devolution (2) V All Hell V Nova Storm
Ah shit... Well, uh, PIT WEDGE DEVOLUTION ASAP!

[alex_holt]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Heat A
Pussycat (17) V Flaming Hell V Vampire Killer
SD IV (1) V Anarchy V Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus

errr....difficult to decide but i suspect a win for the reignign champion

Heat B
Archangel of the abyss (3) V tails V Supreme Glory Gamma
Mega verter (19) V dominator 2 V Sheer Hell

I like my chances here, spin and smash.

Heat C
Clawdius decimus murderous (5) V Firestorm 5 V Kali
Squishiest(21) V drilla killa 7 V hurricane hugo

Hore tricky, kali can outramn firestorm and its design is manouverable enoguh to be able to get udner the machiens, the trick is can i do anythign useful with them.

Heat D
3 Stegs To Heaven (23) V cyclone force 2.5 V Mrs Brown, you€™ve got a lovely daughter
Giga Byte (7) V ripper V x terminator 3

Not a clue, althoguh knowing scot this machine will be fiendishly annoying.

Heat E
Storm 2 (9) V Tengu 6 V Death adder 3
Dervish \// (25) V flipping hell V Hefty kick in the balls

Curses, tengu can beat storm as tengu is powerful enough to match typoon (well typhoons hypothetical max and therefore actually in practise much stronger)

Heat F
Fluffy (11) V Supernova V Orka MK 4
Battle raptor 3 (27) V Dallas D squared V Psyclonic

*shrugs*

Heat G
Road Block (29) V mega masher 2 V hell€™s teeth
Killotine Evo (13) V Heir to black panther 4 V Ringwraith

Well roadblock to get pummelled, hopefully the heir can holds its own against its fellow axe bot.

Heat H
Wheely pure evil 2 (15) V leprosy infection V baldur gamma
Launch Pad (31) V automatic schmuck V tornado

Should be relativly easy, I dont think either can outpush me and certainly neither can damage me.

Heat I
13 Black (16) V Juggerbee Pi V 4 swords
Diotor 2 (32) V phrizbee V Metalmorphosis

Dont know much bout any of these vapours so i cant really say.

Heat J
Killertron (30) V Shovearound 2 V Salamander 3
Panic attack 3 (14) V spawn again V terror gear 2

Salamander should be able to decimate killertron with minimal difficulty.

Heat K
Typhoon 2 (2 V Wreck-tangle 2 V Tenderiser€™s revenge 2
Force Power turbo (12) V Manic Monsoon V Aka IDIOT

Forcepower or Tom to go through here.

Heat L
MORD 2 (10) V Glasgow kiss V Sonic Boom
Chaos 2 (26) V Dr. Evil V Hell Machine

Another case of the dreaded shrugging.

Heat M
Biohazard ( V Razer V Surround Sound
Whirligig (24) V Wedga Revo V The matador

Could go most ways here.

Heat N
Wheely Big Cheese (22) V S3 V GeForce Evo 3.0
Disc-o-inferno (6) V Cassius 2 V Jaws of hell

dunno

Heat O
All scoop and no stab make Steve a dull boy (4) V Dantomkia V Helliant
SOR 4 (20) V Ze Newie V Insecticide

dunno

Heat P
Stratos-fear (1 V Darkestar V the nose 3.0
Wedge Devolution (2) V All Hell V Nova Storm

Try and take otu vulnerable parts of the machines. Please try to write without the track hatred that everyone round here seems to have.

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

The Usually wrong Predictions

Based on stats and not ability to RP...

...soz, wrong area

Heat A - Vampire Killer
Heat B - I would say Alexs spinner but that will prob kill itself, so Mega-Verter
Heat C - Firestorm 5
Heat D - X-Terminator
Heat E - Storm 2, still the best rammer.
Heat F - Battle Raptor 3
Heat G - Killy Evo (WTF is Roadblock doing in there)
Heat H - Automatic Schumuck... Really Probabily the ulimate robot, One of the favourites.
Heat I - Either 4 Swords or Juggerbee Pi
Heat J - Shovearound 2 or Terror Gear 2
Heat K - 2nd melee will be hard to write, but it will either be Monsoon or Force Power.
Heat L - If its the 2nd Glasgow Kiss than it will win, but IIRC the 2nd generation is for Arca only, so it will be MORD 2
Heat M - Heat of Death - Biohazard or Whirligig, nothing can get underneath Biohazard, even Razer.
Heat N - GeForce Evo because of that Flipper
Heat O - Son of Ripper or Ze Newie, nothing else comes close to these two.
Heat P - Stratos-Fear, that flipper is still strong, and if its the revised Arca verison, than it will be another favourite. If not, Novastorm. Wedge Devo to crash out round 1.

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Tactics!!!

Heat B

Archangel of the abyss (3) V tails V Supreme Glory Gamma: Here I will gang up with Tails and try to stop AOTA spinning up. If this occurs, I will try and get underneath AOTA, clamp down with the axe and pit it. Failing this, Ill attack Tails instead.

Heat C

Squishiest(21) V drilla killa 7 V hurricane hugo: This time, Ill go after drilla killa, and use it as a shield to protect myself from hurricane hugos attacks.

Heat D

GigaByte V1.5 (7) VS Ripper VS X-Terminator: Ill stick to attacking the sides of Gigabyte and Ripper, and AVOID RIPPERS FLIPPER AT ALL COSTS!

Heat E

Dervish \// (25) VS Hefty Kick in the Balls! VS Flipping Hell: Ill concentrate all my attacks on Flipping Hell.

Heat F

Battle Raptor 3 (27) VS Dallas D Squared VS Psychlonic: Ill go after Battle Raptor in this one, Psychlonic looks a bit too nasty to go after in round 1.

Heat H
Baldur Gamma VS Leprosy Infection VS Wheely Pure Evil 2 (15): Go after Leprosy Infection.

Heat K

a.k.a. I-D-I-O-T VS ForcePower Turbo (12) VS Manic Monsoon: The melee from Hell-ay! :sad: Ill just drive around slamming into things.

Heat L

Glasgow Kiss VS M.O.R.D. 2 (10) VS Sonic Boom: Ill go after Glasgow Kiss and try to loosen something inside.

QUOTE
Nothing can get underneath Biohazard, even Razer DaveO.

*Points DaveO in the direction of Voltarc*
