Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Heres Danny!

Featherweight

Name: Critical Damage
Weight: 12kg
Armour: None, the robot has an exo-skeleton shell like Crusher from Series 3 of Robot Wars.
Speed: 12mph
Shape: Invertible bevelled wedge with sloping sides and back
Weapon 1: A vertical chain flail coming up from the wedge, powered by a LEM130 motor running at 48v geared down 5:1 giving 1440RPM top speeds.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: No armour
Ground Clearance: 1cm at back, 0mm on sides and front.
Srimech: Invertible
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 12v drill motors which gives 12mph top speeds. The flail is basically 2 pieces of heavy duty chain welded onto a small piece of aluminium. This spins at 1440RPM and can reach top speeds almost instantly. The wheels have screws embedded in them to aid in traction.

Lightweight

Name: Triskaidekaphobia
Weight: 28kg (Lightweight)
Armour: 2mm Aluminium
Speed: 10mph
Shape: Low triangle shape
Weapon 1: A 3 armed spinning rotor powered by a S15-250 MagMotor running at 24v. On each of the arms is a small 3kg sledgehammer with a pointed tip. The spinner is geared down 4:1 for a faster spin up time.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry and quite quick.
Weaknesses: No srimech and poor armour.
Ground Clearance: 1cm, but to get to it youll have to eat spinning sledgehammers
Srimech: None
Notes: The robot is run on 2 S15-250 MagMotors running at 12v, which gives 10mph top speed.

Middleweight

Name: Purer
Weight: 55kg
Armour: 6mm Aluminium Boron Carbite (really strong and quite light)
Speed: 18mph
Shape: Invertible box with 2 inner wheels.
Weapon 1: A low pressure flipper powered by CO2 gas.
Strengths: Great speed.
Weaknesses: Weight disadvantage exposed wheels on top
Ground Clearance: 1cm all around
Srimech: Invertible.
Notes: The robot has 2 go kart wheels powered by 2 S28-400 MagMotors running at 24v. The battery used is a 60 5000mah D Cell NiCad Battery pack producing 15Amp at 24V. This means the robot travels at roughly 18mph, which is quite quick for a robot! The flipper is made from 4mm Titanium, and is really lightweight, weighing only 5kg. Inside the robot is a 1.1kg fire extinguisher containing the CO2, which is fired through a 100mm ram bore, able to flip 55kg almost 1m off the ground and have 22 flips per match.

Super Heavyweight

Name: Out of Bounds
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 9mm Hardox ring spinner and 7mm Titanium flipper/wedge.
Speed: 8mph
Shape: It is a ring spinner with a front wedge.
Weapon 1: The main body is a ring spinner made from 9mm Hardox, with Titanium teeth all over it. It is powered by 2 LEM130 motors at 48v geared down 3:1. This means the body can reach a top speed of 4800RPM. The disc weighs a total of 48kg.
Weapon 2: A spinning kinetic powered flipper, based on Team Whyachi€™s €œWarrior SKF€. It uses the kinetic energy from the disc to power the flipper, meaning it can flip with a total of 408KJ of energy.
Strengths: Unique and powerful weaponry. Good control.
Weaknesses: Takes a long time to self right due to the disc needing to spin up successfully.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and sides of flipper, 5mm at back due to ring spinner.
Srimech: The flipper can successfully self right the robot.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 800w 36v DC motors giving 8mph top speeds. The wheels are made from Vulcalon, and have screws embedded in them to help gan traction on the arena floor. The ring spinner is powered by 2 LEM130 motors at 48v geared down 3:1. This means the body can reach a top speed of 4800RPM. There are 15 1€ cubed Titanium teeth all over the horizontal spinner, giving it 408KJ of energy on impact. The flipper works because there is an eccentric land on top of the spinning ring. The top link connected to the flipper plate has a groove in it, when fired the top link engages with the spinner land and pulls backward flipping the plate up. At the front of the flipper there is a 1cm Titanium €œnose€ with a sharpened edge designed to get under all skirts and ground clearances. All the electrics are kept within the 50cm diameter of the ring spinner.


Heavyweights

Name: Supreme Glory Gamma (Replacing Supreme Glory Beta)
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 20mm Lexan and LexiGuard compound
Speed: 8mph
Shape: Pyramid shaped
Weapon 1: An 11kg Aluminium alloy axe powered by a 60v Etek, capable of generating 3Kj of force per hit.
Strengths: Strong armour and very manoeuvrable.
Weaknesses: Axe only works if something is in front or behind the robot.
Ground Clearance: 0mm all around due to skirts.
Srimech: The axe self rights the robot.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 x 800watt 36v DC motors giving 8mph top speed. The 2 wheels are made from Ti/V alloy and coated in Vulcalore to aid in traction. The robot is covered in 20mm Lexan and LexiGuard compound. The axe weighs a total of 11kg and is shaped like Excaliburs axe from series 3 of Robot Wars. This shape is designed to focus all the force on a single point, meaning it can pierce through armour easily. The axe can give 3Kj of force per hit, roughly the same as Beta. The tips of the axe are covered in a thin layer of carbon, so if it fights a robot with Titanium armour, it can get through the armour even easier. To stop the robot from hopping about when the axe is fired, the robot incorporates a vacuum system. This can be switched on and off during a battle to allow for manoeuvrability and superior traction when static. The skirts on SGG are made from Grade 5 Titanium and are held in place by hinges.

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.

Name: Manic Monsoon
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 5mm Hardox all over.
Speed: Roughly 28mph
Shape: Box wedge with side skirts and rounded back.
Weapon 1: A linear actuator powered lifter running by a 4 bar system at 24v. This can lift 200kg easily.
Weapon 2: A small strip of Grade 5 Titanium on the front wedge, which gives 0mm ground clearance.
Strengths: Powerful drive and good strong weapon
Weaknesses: A bit too fast and hard to control when at full speed.
Ground Clearance: 0mm on front and sides, 1cm at back.
Srimech: Invertible, but can self right using the lifter if wanted to.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 B42-500 MagMotors running at 60v. This gives Monsoon approx 60HP! The robot has a total of 6 wheels, 3 on each side. Each side is linked together by a set of heavy duty belts, giving 0m turning circle and the manoeuvrability of a 2 wheeled bot, and each wheel is coated in Vulcalon. The front wedge is angled at 42.5 degrees, meaning that it is not too steep or too shallow. The lifting arm is powered by a S28-150 MagMotor, and is made from 7075 Aluminium. The lifter itself can lift a total of 200kg, and can self right the robot if needs be. The side skirts are made from 4mm Titanium and are hinged.

Name: Dervish //
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 10mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, with 5mm Lexiguard inside that to protect electronics.
Speed: 14mph
Shape: Invertible cylinder, like Barberous
Weapon 1: Spinning body which spins upwards, so it can flip its opponents.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry and very manoeuvrable
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels.
Ground Clearance: 7mm all around
Srimech: Invertible
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 C40-500 MagMotors with 4 36v packs and geared down 20:1, giving the robot a top speed of 14mph. Both wheels are based around Stinger, but have Vulcalore trims to aid in traction. The spinning body is made from 10mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, with 5mm Lexiguard inside that. The spinning body has Carbon tipped blades and Grade 5 Titanium blades attached all over it, so it can destroy all matters of armour. The body itself is powered by 2 LEM 130s running at 36v via 4 packs. This means the drum spins at approx 2500RPM. This should be enough power to destroy a robot in a matter of seconds.

Name: Sonic Boom
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 1cm thick Hardox wheel hubs, 5mm Hardox axe head and 5mm thick axe pole. The axle joining the 2 wheels is made from 6mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
Speed: 28mph.
Shape: The robot is an axlebot based around Stinger.
Weapon 1: A momentum powered axe, which can come down with 800kgs of force.
Strengths: Hard to grab hold off and very tough armour. Great manoeuvrability.
Weaknesses: Poor pushing power.
Ground Clearance: 10mm.
Srimech: The robot is invertible.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 LEM 130s, giving 28mph top speeds. The wheels are made from aircraft grade Aluminium, with Hardox wheel hubs and thick rubber treads. All the electronics, batteries and wiring are hidden inside the wheels. The 1cm thick wheel hubs should mean that nothing can damage the innards of Sonic Boom. To save weight on the robot, the wheels are only 20cm high, but are also 20cm wide, increasing traction on the arena floor. The axe head is modelled on Stingers axe from series 4 of Robot Wars, but is a lot tougher due to the 50cm, 5mm Hardox axe pole and 5mm Hardox axe head. The axe is momentum powered, meaning that when the robot stops moving from a charge, the axe swings over head and hits what ever is in front of it. This method of weaponry is not accurate most of the time, but when it does hit, it can cause a lot of damage. The 10mm ground clearance all over the robot should stop it getting stuck on arena obstacles.

Name: Artemis
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 11mm Titanium all over the main body and wedge, with a 12mm Titanium strip on the wedge to help get underneath the opponent.
Dimensions: 70 x 80 x 16 (L x W x H)
Speed: 14mph
Shape: Box with front wedge
Weapon 1: A very powerful flipping and piercing spike, powered by a double torsion spring. The setup is very similar to Red Square from Battlebots. It uses a very powerful double torsion spring to fire the spike.
Weapon 2: A medium sized, low pressure CO2 powered arm the runs along the width of the robot. This can be used to self right the robot.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry, compact, strong armour, good speed and pushing power.
Weaknesses: Useless against axlebots.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to hinged skirt, 4mm on sides and back.
Srimech: The CO2 powered arm.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 LEM130 motors running at 36v. To give strong, powerful drive, the robot has 6 Vulcalon wheels a skid steer mechanism. The spring used to retract the spike is a double torsion spring, compressed by a PERM 080 motor running at 36v geared down 30:1. The spike comes out of the front wedge, and can damage and flip its opponent. The flipper/srimech system is as follows:

Gas reservoir size 1.1 kg
Regulated pressure (Pb) 16 bars
Regulator flow (Fr) 900 litres/min
Buffer tank volume (Vt) 1 litres
Combined valve flow (Fv) 1722 litres/min
Pipe outside diameter 12 mm
Pipe inside diameter mm
No of pipes feeding ram 1
Pipe length 0.1 m
Ram bore 100 mm
Ram stroke 200 mm
Number of rams 1
Back pressure (PQ) 0.5 bars
Flipper geometry type 0
Mass of flipper (Mf) 10 kg
Mass to throw (M) 100 kg
Regulator variation 5 %

This means we have 22 flips per bottle and can flip an opponent 66cm off the ground. The spike itself is made from 4mm Hardox, and is carbon tipped to damage Titanium armouring.

Name: Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 7mm Hardox ring spinner and 4mm Titanium flipper/wedge.
Speed: 8mph
Shape: It is a ring spinner with a front wedge.
Weapon 1: The main body is a ring spinner made from 7mm Hardox, with Titanium teeth all over it. It is powered by a LEM130 motor at 48v geared down 3:1. This means the body can reach a top speed of 2400RPM. The disc weighs a total of 38kg.
Weapon 2: A spinning kinetic powered flipper, based on Team Whyachi€™s €œWarrior SKF€. It uses the kinetic energy from the disc to power the flipper, meaning it can flip with a total of 298KJ of energy.
Strengths: Unique and powerful weaponry. Good control.
Weaknesses: Takes a long time to self right due to the disc needing to spin up successfully.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and sides of flipper, 5mm at back due to ring spinner.
Srimech: The flipper can successfully self right the robot.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 800w 36v DC motors giving 8mph top speeds. The wheels are made from Vulcalon, and have screws embedded in them to help gan traction on the arena floor. The ring spinner is powered by a LEM130 motor at 48v geared down 3:1. This means the body can reach a top speed of 2400RPM. There are 15 1€ cubed Titanium teeth all over the horizontal spinner, giving it 298KJ of energy on impact. The flipper works because there is an eccentric land on top of the spinning ring. The top link connected to the flipper plate has a groove in it, when fired the top link engages with the spinner land and pulls backward flipping the plate up. At the front of the flipper there is a 4mm Titanium €œnose€ with a sharpened edge designed to get under all skirts and ground clearances. All the electrics are kept within the 1m diameter of the ring spinner.

Cant wait to test out Artemis and Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc out . This looks as if it will be the best series yet!

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

I will be reentering SpinVerter, UltraVerter & SpunOut, the former preferably in IV form if you have it. This will, barring a win, be SpinVerters last tournament.

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.

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.

Surround Sound

AMP OF DOOM!

Motivation: Wheeled (x 4, 100mm diameter main, 30mm castors)
Speed: 16.20 km/h (10.125MPH)
Weight: 27kg 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 S28-150 on 12V. This rights it quickly & easily.
Drive: 2 x mini-PERMs on 24V geared down 7:1 onto 100mm custom-built vulcanized-rubber wheels on titanium hubs.
Batteries: 2 x 24V 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.

THE CABINET!

Motivation: Wheeled (x 4, 100mm diameter main, 30mm castors)
Speed: 16.20 km/h (10.125MPH)
Weight: 52kg 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: 1kW 14€ Celestion speaker 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 150dB, 1000 times the threshold of pain.
Drive: 2 x C40-300s on 24V geared down 7:1 onto 100mm custom-built vulcanized-rubber wheels on titanium hubs.
Batteries: 4 x 24V 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.

Both, as a result of the extra 20kg available, have an upgrade on the motors and batteries.

The petrol-powered shell aka IDIOT is in another tournament, I will repost the stats here if you wish, but I dont have them on me.

My real bot will be Napalm I (S2).

Steve: I would like to change two thigns on UltraVerter from the stats entered before, so if possible could you forward me the stats? Cheers.

Weapon 1: A very powerful flipping and piercing spike, powered by a double torsion spring. The setup is very similar to Red Square from Battlebots. It uses a very powerful double torsion spring to fire the spike.

Umm...double torsion spring? This wont work. You cant have two springs compressing in different directions, which youll get no matter which way they face...

In the unlikely event of a draw, I will ask an Outside Judge to make his or her own decision on the fight. Both results will then be averaged to give a final mark.

Um...if ones a draw, wouldnt that mean that even if averaged, the outside judge would still decide? :P

No more comments now. I promise. :P

My stats up later.

Also, Mr Stickler, You have no chance in hell in having a LEM130 in a feather weight..... People bend the laws of physics to fit in S28-150s with whyachi gearboxes now, let alone a LEM!

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

I made a few errors on my stats.

1) The shells on Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc and Out of Bounds provide too much energy when being used as a ring spinner. Therefore, the shells KJ output will be halfed when using it as a ring spinner. If the opponent has been immobolised, or they are beeched on the wedge in the middle of the fight, the KJ output will be raised to 298KJ and 408KJ respectively.

2) The double torsion spring system in Artemis will remain, as I asked Tom personally on MSN if the system would work with a double torsion spring in it and he said yes.

3) Critical Damage has been completely redone thanks to help from Aaron, Andy and Steve.

Name: Critical Damage
Weight: 12kg
Armour: None, the robot has an exo-skeleton shell like Crusher from Series 3 of Robot Wars.
Speed: 12mph
Shape: Invertible bevelled wedge with sloping sides and back
Weapon 1: A vertical Pussycat style blade, made from Aluminium with small Hardox teeth bolted on. It is powered by a LEM130 motor running at 24v. This is geared down 1.5:1 to reach a top speed of 2400RPM in less than 2 seconds.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: No armour
Ground Clearance: 1cm at back, 0mm on sides and front.
Srimech: Invertible
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 12v drill motors which give 12mph top speeds.

NAME- Daphne (mw)
SHAPE- Invertible box
COLOUR- the robot is mostly purple, on the front is a red wig (like colour of Daphne in Scooby Doo, with a purple head band). On the hinged wedge is a painted green scarf
WEIGHT- 55kg
SPEED- 22mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at front due to hinged wedge, 0mm at sides and rear due to hinged skirts.
ARMOUR- 5mm aluminium

WEAPONS- It has a front hinged wedge, in it is a chain flail
SRIMECH- invertible
STRENGTHS- good rammer
WEAKNESSES- its daphne, she€™s always getting into trouble

Name- Someone€™s Watching Over Me (SHW)
SHAPE- Tall Wedge
COLOUR- Dark grey
WEIGHT- 155kg
DIMENSIONS- Height: 30cm, Length: 80cm, Width: 65cm
SPEED- around 18mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0mm at the front due to wedge extender, 5mm at sides and rear with out the skirts, 0mm with them

POWER- 4 X S28-400€™s on 24volts
WEAPONS- The robot has a 1000psi nitrogen flipper on a 80mm bore on a 100-stroke ram which should make around 3.5 tones at the ram (if I am incorrect please correct me) the nitrogen is stored in 4, 2.2kg canisters, the robot has around 40 flips in a fight, the flipper is on high pressure
NOTES- It€™s a super heavy version of Take Me Out, and if it gets under you, you will be watching over it from the arena roof.
STRENGTHS- Powerful weapon, good drive
WEAKNESSES- limited supply for the weapon

Name: Disco 5
Shape: Low Wedge with small rear wedge
Motivation: it now uses four storm 2 style Vulcalon wheels
Speed: 12.5 Mph
Weight: 100kg
Height: 300mm to top of body, 600mm to the top of the disc
Length: 1300mm
Width: 600mm
Weapon: 500mm Vert. flywheel @ 3000rpm. Has a 4.00 second spin up time due to the C40-500 Magmotor on 36v with a 2:1 twin tension cog belt reduction. The flywheel produces 31.5Kj€™s at maximum RPM but is lethal at around 1 second. The second weapon is also the srimech, this weapon is a low pressure pneumatic flipper running on 10Bar (145psi) running into a single 80mm bore ram. This produces 509kg at the ram and is then transferred into the flipper with a leverage point ratio of 1:1. This is a forward facing flipper like FireStorm and will have no problem toppling the heaviest of robots.
Chassis: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium monocoque with extra 5mm Titanium ribs to give it more rigidity.
Drive: 2 x S28-400 Magmotors @ 36v with a 10:1 Mod 2 spur gear reduction
Batteries: 90 x 3000mAh NiCD cells producing 36v @ 9amp
Color- the robot and skirts and flipper are blue and the disc is yellow
Clearance- it has 0mm at the front due to the wedge it has 0mm at the sides due to skirts its 6mm with out it also has a 0mm at the rear due to the small wedge which is there to replace the problem of the skirt being flipped into the disc. The skirts are NOT hinged and held down by torsion-springs so they shouldn€™t spring up and the rear one shouldn€™t go up into the disc
Notes- The flywheel is at the back off the robot it goes over the back of the wedge so if I can get a robot up the wedge far enough it will be hit by the disc. The skirts stop the robot landing on its side.

Name: TIRTASM
Shape: A low to the ground invertible box shape with a low centre of gravity
Motivation: It uses four Vulcalon wheels like those used in Storm II
Weight: Somewhere around 80kg without any set-ups
Ground Clearance: 10mm all the way around unless stated
SRIMECH: The robot can work invertible
Drive: It is driven by two LEM130 Lynch Motors on 36v powered by NiCAD battery packs giving around 18hp and a top speed of 20mph
Turning Circle: It turns on the spot using a Tornado like 4WD skid steering system
Armour: 5mm thick Grade 5 Titanium
Notes: Interchangeable body panels, all can be changed within the time limit of 20 minutes (Ta to Steve for some help )
Strength: Interchangeable weaponry speed and power
Weakness: High clearance

Set-ups:

1.0) A 15kg scoop made of 10mm thick Hardox - For use against bad pushers or any powerful spinners, also has a spinning flail like on tornado
2.0) A small vertical drum weighing around 5kg powered by a C40-500 Magmotor on 36v giving it around 6hp - For use against weak armoured robots
3.0) A pair of front forks similar to those on Panic Attack with carbon tips for scratching Titanium robots, they are powered by two Linear Actuators and can work either way up - For use against robots with high ground clearance and that have wheel slots I can slide them into
4.0) Eight carbon tipped spikes, four at the front, four at the back each places in the corner of the robot - For use against robots with thin Titanium, 2 spikes on the front and the back move in and out powered co2
5.0) A front concave curving horizontal scoop thing made of 10mm Hardox and 10mm rubber behind it for impacts, the outer armour is replaced with drilled 3mm thick Ti - For use against round robots of Full Body spinners, also to fit the active weapons rule it has a chain flail like used on tornado
6.0) Some 5mm thick Ti/V skirts hinged in the centre of the robot so they flop over if flipped - For use against flippers, it also has a front 8kg vertical drum
7.0) Some 5mm thick Ti/V skirts hinged very low to the bottom of the robot and each mounted with springs - For use against rammers
A low rear hinged arm going across the top of the robot made of drilled Grade 5 Titanium powered by a linear actuator. On the end is a small crusher also powered by a linear actuator so that it can clamp and then lift. There are also some hinged skirts around the edge of the robot making it hard to flippers to get under - For use against flippers, the idea is to stop them with the skirts and try and crush the flipper when its fired so I can mash up the electronics with the crusher and then dump them where I feel (Thanks to Steve for designing this mechanism )

2) The double torsion spring system in Artemis will remain, as I asked Tom personally on MSN if the system would work with a double torsion spring in it and he said yes.

I didnt say eys to a double torsion spring. It wont work.

[team_britespark]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

You did say yes Tom. I asked you about the Red Square system because Frank advised me to use it instead of a crossbow, which was my original weapon. I asked how Red Squares flipper got the power and you said a torsion spring system. I then asked whether I could use a double torsion spring sysytem and you said yes.

I am not going to contnue this arguement in here because you are not worth it, Tom.

[Guest]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Well, if I did say a double would work, I mustnt have been thinking straight. The spring has to compress, and if they twist in different directions youll just twist the spike into a circle. :P

I apologize for the misinformation.

[team_britespark]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

No problem Tom, thank you for sorting the misunderstanding out.

Therefore, the spike on Artemis will be powered by a single torsion spring, and not a double torsion spring.
