Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Heat A
Pussycat (17) V Flaming Hell V Vampire Killer

Take out the No. 17 seed by ripping the wheels off, they are really vunerable to my cage, and the saw isnt much better, because the top of the robot can be knocked away and the saw smashed off ala Fluffy. Stats for Vampire Killer would be nice.

Heat B
Mega verter (19) V dominator 2 V Sheer Hell

Dominator 2 is my main target, because the armour isnt as tough as it looks, and 13 Black, on which SH is based, got through it easy, so Im gonna aim to smash up Dominator. Stats for Mega Verter would be nice

Heat E
Dervish \// (25) V flipping hell V Hefty kick in the balls

Shit. My arch rival and a V. nasty vert spinner. Whichever one I get under first, shove to the side wall and send it to Heaven before sending it to Hell

Heat G
Killertron vs Hell€™s teeth vs Salamander 3

Rip up the wheely bin lid with the disc, failing that, use the wedge to beech him

Heat L
Chaos 2 (26) V Dr. Evil V Hell Machine

Chaos 2 is vunerable to axes, and I designed HM to tackle the S3/4 champ to begin with, so that gas bottle is history. stats of Dr Evil would help

Heat N
Disc-o-inferno (6) V Cassius 2 V Jaws of hell

Cassius 2s armour is crap, my jaws will go through that no trouble, so hes my main target, but I will try and avoid DOI if I can help it

Heat O
All scoop and no stab make Steve a dull boy (4) V Dantomkia V Helliant

erm...Stats on AASANSMSADB please, my saws should make a mess of Dantomkia, butr not enough to immobilise it, so I will aim to go back to back with it and rip out the vunerable link

Heat P
Wedge Devolution (2) V All Hell V Nova Storm

Wedge Devo is my main target, just gonna clobber anything that comes near me

all scoop and no stab

NAME- MegaVerter
SHAPE- Convex curving (outwards curving) wedge.
COLOUR- Gold, with a silver flipper arm.
WEIGHT- Somewhere close to, but under, 200KG.
DIMENSIONS- 140cm X 80cm X 70cm
SPEED- 7mph
TURNING CIRCLE- About 10cm. Not overly drastic.
GROUND CLEARANCE- Definite 0 at front, due to variable-pitch wedge flipper arm scoop, 0 on sides and rear with torsion-spring held skirts.
ARMOUR- 1cm Ti/V alloy, with a 50 x 50 x 10mm steel box section frame.
LEGS- Inside robot, 8 legs in a similar running setup to Anarchy.
POWER- 2 B42-500 4€ MagMotors on 36V, producing a nice 45HP.
WEAPONS- Big, very, very powerful flipping arm. Powered by three 120mm bore, 250mm stroke custom hydraulic rams powered by 750psi pneumatics (full pressure pneumatics), it produces around 10000KG of force!!! That€™s akin to 20 Wheely Big Cheese flippers. The flipper arm is made of 12mm Ti/V alloy with steel box section framework, and lifts to a 90 degree angle, meaning the top goes to 2.1m in the air. The launching capabilities of this flipper are enormous, enough to throw 100KG around 30-35m into the air. 6 2KG CO2 bottles feed the rams, and it can get 15 flips a fight.
SRIMECH- The flipper arm has a 10cm x 10cm hole towards the top of the curve, from which a ram, similar to X-Terminator 2€™s SRIMECH, can extend to self-right it. The ram is powered by 150psi pneumatics, and has enough force to throw the robot back over, as I wouldn€™t dare try to use the flipper and put myself on Mars ;D
NOTES- Enough force to throw a lightweight high enough that it would take out low-flying aircraft. ;D

Scotts stats
NAME- Stratos-Fear
SHAPE- A sort of 4Wheel Drive Wheely Big Cheese.
COLOUR- Stealthy Black and Grey
WEIGHT- 100kg
DIMENSIONS- (L) With Flipper: 155cm, Without: 62cm (W) With flipper: 124cm, Without: 26cm each wheelpod. (H) 26cm
SPEED- 15mph, high acceleration
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- Dead zero at front, rising to about 1-2cm at rear.
ARMOUR- 4-7mm RSP-707 T6, Dave found this, it has the same density as aluminium but is almost as strong as titanium.
WHEELS- 4, 4wd
DRIVE- 2 24v LEM130€™s, geared for good speed and acceleration, powered by 3 x 24v 3Ah NiCad battlepacks.
WEAPON 1- 130cm pneumatic flipper. This thing is powered by THREE 420mm x 80mm full pressure rams, running off three nitrogen tanks, with one extra as a buffer. It has a travel of 115 degrees. This should comfortably launch another heavyweight far into the air, better than WBC due to the increased power and length of the flipper. 3000psi Nitrogen, or 1000psi CO2 powered.
SRIMECH - Axlebot, therefore it€™s invertible and can€™t be flipped.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- Could probably flip about a tonne, and launch a heavyweight far, far into the air. Possibly the first 4 wheeled axle bot? Due to the shock, can probably kill another heavyweight in one or two flips. Overflip is now redundant because the flipper flops over due to the hollow axle connecting the two drive boxes. The flipper rides the ground, and due to the speed and low, low angle can easily breach any skirts.
SUMMARY- Prepare to be launched into the stratos-fear!
STRENGTHS- THAT flipper, acceleration and speed.
WEAKNESSES- Armour is sacrificed a bit for extra power.

WHEELS- 4, sellotape type
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s powered by 24v of 9Ah Nicads.
WEAPON 1- Double headed axe, powered by two pneumatic cylinders at 1000psi CO2 on a rack an pinion system

WEAPON 1- Full Pressure front hinged flipper, powered by two big rams and two CO2 tanks. Going for the OOTAs baby, yeah
WEAPON 2- Secondary rear scoop
SRIMECH - But of course :wink:
SKIRTS- None, for manoeuvrability
NOTES- Inspired by Launch Pad, in both name and weapon depts.
SUMMARY- A mobile launching pad, going for OOTAs, front hinged style
STRENGTHS- Strong flipper, backed up by decent drive.
WEAKNESSES- Short fights are probable.

NAME- Hefty Kick in the Balls!
SHAPE- Reminds of Cerberus in S3 or 4, I think. Tapered rear with front scoops.
COLOUR- Grey, with Scottish flag scoops.
WEIGHT- 100kg
LENGTH- (L) 78 cm without disc, 151cm including skirts and wheel pods, (W) 105cm without, (H) 23cm without disc, 76cm with disc.

WEAPON 2- Like you€™ll get past the first.
SRIMECH - None, though my driving, the skirts and the will ensure it doesn€™t get flipped. Actually it could possibly do an IG-88 due to the speed of the disc and the short length of the body.
SKIRTS- Side skirts, hinged.
NOTES- Should easily destroy a lot of bots and the scoops can both aid get under a lot of flippers and fend off other robots€™ weapons
SUMMARY- Destructive, indiscreet and designed to give the other bot a hefty kick in the balls!
STRENGTHS- Weapon, stylishness, and scoops
WEAKNESSES- Armour kinda sacrificed for extra weapon power.

NAME- Insecticide

DIMENSIONS- (LWH) 122cm x 132cm x 21cm
COLOUR- Sleek dark grey
WEIGHT- 99.42kg

ARMOUR- 4mm titanium for main shell, 5mm titanium for the sidepods
WHEELS- 2, each in its own pod.
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s at 36v, 4 X 36v 3Ah NiCad packs
WEAPON 1- A 16kg, 66cm diameter horizontal disc, powered by a Briggs and Stratton E-Tek motor at 36v. This spins at approximately 1500rpm due to the 7:11 gear ratio and is 4cm off the ground.
SRIMECH - Invertible, due to a Scottish flag invertibility bar at the rear.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- My personal favourite of my renders
SUMMARY- Destructive disc backed up with decent drive.

Spawn again

now that is sorted also not to dave.w i wrote your fight for heat a before i saw your tactics

[mrdaves]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Hence the reason why for a decent gap between the draw and the first fights, to allow all the slow people to post tactics.

[razerdave]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

nuts Oh well, Ill have to wait and see how that turned out

[martyn]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Well its time for another series of Martyn€™s robot wars and today sees the first 6 robots of the series battling it out for the first place in the series semi finals.

Pussycat (17) entered by Aj is back for a 5th crack at the title, once again it€™s the sorta box with triangle on top shape, and it has the twin discs as well, part of its blade is carbon coated so it can easily rip into titanium armour. However pussycat has high ground clearance and doesn€™t have great pushing power
In series 1 it lost in round 2 to eventual runner up disc-o-inferno
In series 2 it got to the semi finals defeating 4th seed ReSpun along the way, but lost its round 4 match to panic attack (13) and then lost in the losers melee to disc-o-inferno and the nutcracker
In series 3 seeded 10 it reached the heat final but lost out super spin dash
In series 4 it went out in round 1

Flaming hell entered by Dave. W is a circle bot with a bit on top to hold its powerful SoW style cage spinner which has €˜bot openers€™ to smack into the opponents, it has small actuators to selfright on the cage, however its hard to control where the robot will go after smacking into an opponent.

Vampire Killer entered by tony, it€™s an invertible box, with two powerful front spinning discs one on top of the other, it has 4 spikes on each side and a rear scoop. The robot is very destructive but its armour is poor.

Pussycat (17) V Flaming hell V vampire killer
House robots: Dead Metal and Cassius Chrome
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
All three robots start to spin up their own spinners. Pussycat charges in at the side of vampire killer, smacking the blade onto one of the titanium spikes ripping it off. Flaming hell charges at vampire killers front causing both robots to fly away. Vampire killer goes after pussycat smacking into the front and pushing the 17th seed into the corner with dead metal. Dead metal grabs the cat and lowers the saw into it. Dead metal lets go of pussycat who smacks into the arena disc activate button. Vampire killer smacks into the rear of pussycat leaving its mark with a rip in the rear of the cat. Flaming hell charges over smacking in to the two robots causing all three to go flying. Pussycat is the first to recover and smacks into the side of vampire killer the blade ripping into the lexan armour. Flaming hell smacks into the front discs of vampire killer, flaming hell bounces back as the top disc on vampire killer grinds to a halt. Pussycat backs off the side of the newcomer only to charge in again and smacking into another spike easily bending it down. Flaming hell activates the pit release thingy, but is rammed into the arena by the scoop of vampire killer. Pussycat smacks into the side of vampire killer ripping into the lexan armour. Flaming hell moves into the centre of the arena to spin up again as vampire killer pushes pussycat towards the pit, but the 17th seed wont be put down that easily and escapes. Flaming hell comes over and smacks into the side of vampire killer knocking it into Cassius chrome€™s cpz. The shimmy bot starts firing its spikes rather pointlessly on the newcomer. Meanwhile flaming hell is chasing pussycat and clips the rear wheel sending the cat sideways and onto its side, pussycat quickly gets back on its wheels quickly. Vampire Killer escapes the cpz, but pussycat is there to smack into the side of the spinner bot. Flaming hell not wanting to miss out on the action comes in and smacks into vampire killer sending it spinning away. Pussycat smacks on the top of vampire killer who tries to escape but cant. Pussycat backs off but vampire killer isn€™t moving any more. Refbot comes over and nudges the mrws newcomer but it still doesn€™t move, refbot raises his hand and starts to count out vampire killer 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10. Dead metal comes over and grabs vampire killer and drops it down the pit.
Vampire Killer, killed off quickly.
Pussycat (17) and Flaming Hell go through to round 2.

In the pits its is found that pussycat chopped through Vampire Killer€™s aerial causing it not to respond.

Fight 2
SD IV (1) V Anarchy V Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus

SD IV (1) entered by Steven it€™s shaped rather much like tornado except the rear goes to a fine point, on the front is a pussycat style saw €˜sept its larger and horizontal. The scoops from last year are gone. Its tornado like pushing power and powerful weapon took it to the gold medal last year.
In Series 1 it lost out in round 2 to under force
In series 3 it reached the series semi finals taking out chaos 2 and pussycat
In series 4 it won the tournament beating out Battle raptor 3, Frost byte (3), NSBFR, series 3 champion spinny thing recharged and the crashing bore to become champion of the 4th wars

Anarchy is a walking box with front scoop and rear flipper, it also has an axe which smacks down onto the robots in the scoop.
In series 1 it lost out in round 1 to under force
In series 2 it lost in the heat final to force power

Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus entered by chris is basically a wheely big cheese clone with inner wheels, this means it has a powerful flipper and runs inverted.

SD IV (1) V Anarchy V Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus
House robots: Shunt and Matilda
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
All three robots head into the centre of the arena, anarchy looking a bit ponderous walks over to Die-ceratops but the newcomer slips under the front of anarchy and flips sending anarchy up into the air and onto its head, can anarchy self right, the veteran fires its axe it just tips anarchy back onto its legs, SD IV charges at the rear of anarchy but it goes up the flipper, anarchy fires the flipper and sends the reigning champion over but back onto its wheels. SD IV charges at the pit release thingy, the siren sounds. Die-ceratops slips under anarchy€™s front scoop, the veteran fires its axe but it doesn€™t reach the newcomer who flips sending the walking box over. Anarchy twitches but neither weapon seams able to right the robot. SD IV charges in and pits anarchy,
Cease
Anarchy didn€™t cause to much chaos and falls at the first hurdle
SD IV (1) and Die-ceratops re-invertus.

Before round 2 its time for a special event and it€™s the first round of our all stars tournament

Funky Cow Eater 2 V Archangel of the abyss V Disc-o-inferno V Giga Byte

Round 2 draw
Die-ceratops re-invertus V Pussycat (17)
SD IV (1) V Flaming Hell

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Crap. First bot out. Oh well, always next heat. And always next series for Vampire Killer, I better toughen up the armor.

[mrdaves]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

You do know Titanium doesnt rip like paper when hit by carbon right. Frank told me.

Shame the fight was decided once more by the house robots, no driving skill required at all, and did you know that controlling a wheely big cheese style front nose is very hard, hence why Chaos beat it time and time again.

*Inserts ilfamous sign-off phrase*

[swiss_tony]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Dave, must you critize FRA EVERY chance you get? Really, I havent even been here that long, and your anti-FRA posts are gettingon my nerves. Im still disapointed youre leaving, but is it absolutly nessacary for you to be like this beacuse of it?

[steven_mcg]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

*minor standing ovation*

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, Davey Boy... :wink:

HEAT A
ROUND 2
1) Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS Pussycat (17)
I think a recreation of the cats fight with StratosFear in PTT4 could take place here...

2) Flaming Hell VS S.D. IV (1)
Were both round about the same speed, so Spin Dash should be able to catch Dave and ram him around a little before attempting a pitting. The good thing about cage spinners is their relatively poor traction, so this shouldnt be much of a problem and hopefully, the cage will do little to my Hardox armouring.

Prove me wrong, Mr Weston!

[mrdaves]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Im not critizing the FRA, if it wasnt for them, than vapourbots would have ended 18 months ago when the robot wars forum shut down.

Im just saying my opinion, and if you dislike my opinions then fair enough, but its a human right to have the right to make an opinion. If you remove the right to make an opinion, then you turn the area into a controlled zone.

[pcbore]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Unfortunately its also our human right to get annoyed with said opinion and ask you to cease being so vocal about it.

Anyway, for the Ti/carbon answer, look at Pussycat vs Dominator 2 in series 4. Dominator took numerous blows from the blade, and while whatever was holding the base to the armour was broken, the armour most certainly wasnt torn to ribbons.

[alex_holt]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Dave I have two words for you, the first being shut, the second being up, you have made yourself perfectly clear on your stance as to this which is fair enough, but you peresist in disrupting everything else, Im pretty sure theres a human right along the lines of the right to go about your business without beign harassed.

[swiss_tony]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

But remember, Pussycats weapon isnt excactly Nightmare-ish.
