    Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

    Yeah, but it still can get underneath.

    Anyways, here are some more stats.

    DIE-CERATOPS RE-INVERTUS
    Weight; 100 kilos
    Body Shape: Wheely Big Cheese
    Speed; 15mph
    TC; 0
    GC; 0mm at front, 3mm at sides and back.
    Wheels; 2 inner, sticking out only slightly,
    Armour; 8mm titanium
    Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
    Colour; Green, with Killer Carrot style wrinkles, mouth and eyes. One of the eyes has a plaster over it, the other is a black eye. A few bandages are painted on this time.
    Weapons: A huge Wheely Big Cheese style flipper, capable of flipping a tonne or so.
    Srimech; As the name suggests, the robot runs inverted. Bars prevent side strandings, and the back is rounded, so stranding THAT way is outta the question. The flipper works upside down.
    Inspiration; Ive always liked Dinosaurs. This is a pun of Triceratops. The Invertus part is pretty obvious.
    Strengths; The ability to work upside down and still be able to use its weapon, now easier to control.
    Weaknessess: Cant find any.


    CYCLONE FORCE 2.5
    Weight; 100 kilos
    Body Shape; Storm 2
    Speed; 25mph
    TC; 0
    GC; Side is 0mm due to skirts. Back is 2mm. See set-ups for front GC
    Wheels; 6 inner
    Armour; 7mm Titanium.
    Power; Similar stuff to what Storm 2 uses.
    Colour; A blue-ish grey tone all over.
    Weapons; The robot has 5 set-ups, 2 brand new...

    SET UP 1...A lifter device, similar to Storm 2. In theory, it can lift 190 kilos. The front makes a wedge and results in a 0mm GC. However, the wedge is useless upside down.
    SET-UP 2...A pair of Kan Opener style claws, with about 4 tonnes of pressure at the tip. Front GC for this and Set-up 3 is 1mm.
    SET-UP 3...A Disc-O-Inferno style disc, reaching speeds of up to 3000rpm and with similar damage capability to this dangerous bot (I mean, look what it did to Panic Attack).
    SET-UP 4...Two 30cm long spikes, which, combined with the speed of the robot, can easily penetrate weaker armours (Id say anything 4mm thick or less, minus Steel, is in a bit of trouble).
    SET-UP 5...The most risky approach, A simple bucket scoop, like X-Terminator. The scoop is static, but can get underneath virtually zero ground clearance. Its front is 0mm.

    Srimech; The robot runs inverted, the sides are protected by the skirts and back stranding is impossible. Set-ups 2, 3 and 4 work upside down.
    Inspiration; The original Cyclone was named because it is the name of a storm and it sounds threatening. The force came later, after it became a pusher.
    Strengths;Raw power
    Weaknessess;Lack of control, Set-ups 1 and 5 do not work upside-down.

      And with Chris first stats up, it means we can actually begin!

      HEAT A
      ROUND 1
      1) Flaming Hell VS Pussycat (17) VS Vampire Killer
      Cant get VKs stats due to the FAR Forum being temporarily down, but I think it and Dave W could make light work of the No.17 seed

      2) Anarchy VS Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS S.D. IV (1)
      This is actually a great draw for me. Not only should the saw be able to slide under either bot but I can shove them all over the ring to my hearts content otherwise! Go for whoevers nearest, slice and Pit.

        I have been thinking, isnt it a tad unfair for people to see who they are fighting before posting their stats, and see that their is a weakness of the robot in the melee and fits it before posting the stats. Ie, skirts, better drive etc.

        Ingore my random words of non-wisdow if you want, but bear it in mind when allowing people to post stats after draw.

          Not really...I dont look at the other persons stats if I havent got mine up, if at all. Even if I know the robot well, I just make normal changes.

          After all, I designed Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus with nothing going for either/or competitor.

            BTW Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus will consentrate most/all attacks on Anarchy. Unsure whether its axe can right it.

            A slight change in its stats...

            WEAKNESSESS: Tengu VI

            Funny, yes?

              I believe Bios skirts are weak at the corners. i also think Vlad has breached them before. I know Vlads beaten Bio in the past, but cant remember if it was pre or post skirt.

                  It copped a bit of a lift off the spike thing and Vlad nipped underneath, didnt it?

                    [Heat K - 2nd melee will be hard to write, but it will either be Monsoon or Force Power.]

                    So youve got a omnidirectional FBS that has enough energy to induce one-hit shock kills while not taking anything itself (theres a 20kg suspension system for a reason...) and its going to go out in the first round to two rammers? Interesting.

                      hello, just ducking in for a quick post.

                      quote:

                      in season 1 when bio had the skirts a belive vlad flipped it then

                      It was before season 1, and Vlad pushed Bio onto the arena saws, which flipped it. Bios skirts prevented it from self-righting.

                        Pussycat (17) V Flaming Hell V Vampire Killer

                        Ill give you my first tactics now so you can get on with the fights, and Ill post tactics and predictions for the rest of the heats later on.

                        Tactics: Concentrate on Vampire Killer, for the simple fact that it is pretty much all constructed of Titanium. Pussycats carbon blades should be able to eat this up nicely and possibly get to those wheels. Some nice swings down onto the wheels from the vertical position should work nicely too I hope.

                            New tactics:
                            Road Block (29) V mega masher 2 V Shovearound 2
                            Oh, easy as hell. Just pit Roadblock. WAY outdated.
                            Panic attack 3 (14) V Tenderiser€™s revenge 2 V terror gear 2
                            Get under PAs side skirts and pit it. Hopefully the drum should chew up the skirts nicley or rip it up, making it easier to get under.
                            Typhoon 2 (2 V Wreck-tangle 2 V spawn again
                            Flip whoevers got a weaker weapon OOTA.

                              WRECK-TANGLE 2
                              Weight: 95 kilos
                              BS: Hard to describe. Its sort of like a box with a groove down most of the body.
                              Speed;20mph
                              TC:0m
                              GC;0mm due to skirts, 0mm at front anyway, 5mm underneath
                              Wheels: 6 outer
                              Armour: 7mm titanium
                              Power; Like I said, a couple of mag-motors
                              Colour: Black
                              Weapons: It has a front scoop, but this is static, so the robot can push. Along the back is a long arm that can self-right the robot. Attached to the underside of the bar is a nasty rectangular bar, spinning at 750rpm (sort of like the blade on a helicopter). This explains the robots weird shape.
                              Srimech: The arm acts as the srimech. The reason the bar is attached to the arm is so that others dont take advantage of it whilst it is upside down.
                              Strengths: Nasty Weapon
                              Weaknessess: Untested body design

                              JUGGERBEE 3.142
                              Alternative Name: Juggerbee Pi
                              Weight: 100 kilos
                              BS: Sort of like Tornado this year, an invertable box.
                              Speed: Ive gone for more control over speed this time. As a result, it now moves at 10mph
                              TC: 0m
                              GC: About 5mm
                              Wheels: 4 inner, like Tornado
                              Power: Identical to Tornado, 2x 750 watt Bosch motors
                              Armour: 3mm steel
                              Weapons: An old breed of weapon. On the back is a long harpoon (inactive), used to stab oppodents. On the front is a vertical saw reaching speeds of 3000rpm. Think Pussycat. Also has a secret weapon on the underbelly.
                              Srimech: The robot runs inverted. When flipped over, there is a message on the back which says Pi is exactly 3!!! THIS is the robots secret weapon.
                              Strengths: Power, invertable.
                              Weaknessess: Has a saw, and thus is the last of a dying race.

                                2 robots in the same heat I can understand...

                                ...But how did 3 robots slip though the net?
