NSBFLX-2

Heres a little piece of machinery Id like to enter in the New Blood competition

Name - Sheer Heart Attack

Shape - Invertible tracked box, only the main-body between the tracks is shorter then the tracks (as can be seen on the picture), build in such a way that the tracks are in contact with the ground no matter what (like 101), only with two titanium bars at the end of both tracks to protect them from destructive spinners

Weight - 110 Kilogram

Speed - 24 km/h (15 mph)

Dimensions - 90*100*25 cm

Ground Clearance - Zero underneath the tracks, but with an overhang

Power -2x LEM130s at 48v

Movement - Two sturdy titanium tracks, with rubber strips attached to them for traction

Turning Circle - Zero

Weaponry - A 22 kilogram titanium spinning drum at the front of my machine equipped with 10 hardox teeth, powered by a LEM 130 and spinning around at 5000 RPM, which produces nearly 40 kJ.

Armour - 6 mm titanium all around (including the tracks themselves)

Srimech - It€™s invertible

Strenghts - Devestating against most wedges, nice traction
Weakness - Exposed (but quite sturdy) tracks might be a weakness

Notes- I designed this robot to be a robot which gains it€™s advantage by driving OVER an opponent, a bit like Barberous. The exposed tracks are the ultimate way to keep in contact with the floor no matter what kind of ramp I drive up, so that if a good rambot or whatever gets underneath me in a threatening way, I can simply go in full reverse and escape. The drum, ofcourse, is a perfect way to hurt an opponent while he€™s underneath you.

OK Enterprise and SHA are in the New Blood. A note for Kevin though, Im assuming a reasonably high GC under the skirts seeing you didnt specify.

Its still pretty low under the skirts.

Having just received word that not everyone is happy with the downtime this tournament is undergoing, I feel I have to restate my position.

I do not have writers block. Writing such a lot of fanfic recently has caused other projects of mine, namely a book I wish to get published, to be put on the back burner. Although I enjoy writing the NSBFL, my book is far more important to me, and its that Im concentrating on.

NSBFL X-2 will be kicked off when I feel Ive done enough work on the book for the time being.

Well said.

Same with any of my tournaments generally for gettign enough lyrics to give Glen to put the music to.

Im in no position to tell people to get moving with tournaments as we all know... :P

I think we all have other stuff to be getting on with at this moment in time which prioritises over fanfic.

The Translator eh? sweet stuff Andy

Ive decided to enter Back to Rock 2 in the TYOM

Name - Back to Rock II

Shape - A box with a slightly sloped front

Weight - 100 Kilogram

Speed - 29 km/h (18mph)

Dimensions - 90x75x30 cm

Ground Clearance - 0 underneath skirts and at the front, 8 mm anywhere else

Power - 2x Etek motors at 48 volt

Movement - Four wheels, 20cm diameter

Turning Circel - Zero

Weaponry - It has a broad hydraulic lifting arm which can easily lift 200 kg. To easily get underneath an opponent, it has two lifting plates at the bottom of the arm, one on the left end and one on the right end, instead of one large lifting plate like Behemoth.

Between the two plates, in the centre of the scoop, I mounted a vertical diamond edged Pussycat-style blade, powered by a S28-150 Magmotor, spinning upwards at approximately 3000 RPM, which will hopefully rip off some armour, or more likely, a tire, while lifting an opponent. Jamming a blade into an opponent while lifting it hopefully provides as much control over an opponent than a Behemoth-style grabbing claw/axe can, and it€™ll surely do more damage. (To avoid confusion, the blade is actually part of the lifter, so when the lifter moves up, the blade moves along).

On both sides of the bots is a pair of 5 mm titanium skirts, to make sure I won€™t get flipped very often, as hydraulic srimechs just aren€™t as fast as pnuematic ones.

Armour - 6 mm titanium all around

Srimech - The lifter self-rights the robot when needed

Strenghts - Nice weapon synergy, high traction
Weakness - Hydraulic srimech might prove to be slow
