Power: 8 Lem130s

That sure is comedy!

Name: Hammy
Shape: Sphere shaped, if you hadn€™t already guessed
Colour: See-Thru
Dimensions: €¦meh
Weight: 50kgs maybe?
Motivation: Four 100mm diameter wheels, with rubber grips.
Power: Two LEM130€™s at 36v and a 36v NiCad pack.
Speed: 30mph, fast!
Turning Circle: Don€™t ask€¦
Ground Clearance: Variable from 0mm to 8ft in the air
Skirting: Ha, good joke!
Armour: A polycarbonate sphere (with a hatch to get inside). Inside, the €˜hamster€™ is made of an Aluminium monocoque covered with orange fur with two googly eyes.
Weapon: Driving over other robots€¦
SRIMECH: Always lands in a way it can move because of its ball shape. The hamster inside always lands on its wheels, no matter how badly it gets shaken about.
Strengths: *sniggers*

Better Description: A polycarbonate ball with a small robot inside, working in the same way as Psychosprout. The small robot is basically just the radio gear, a speedo, a few motors and some wheels to make it move. It€™s made of Aluminium and is covered in fur, just for fun. Basically it drives around and moves the sphere in the same way a hamster moves in a ball. If it gets flipped or whatever, the €˜hamster€™ inside always lands back on its wheels and drives away again. It€™s very fast, and very light and basically just runs around bumping into and running over things.

Hows that? Ask if you need any more info.

Oh, I knew Id forgotten something...

Y4 has two extra features on (or in) it for the added comedy effect.

1: It wears a cape, ala Batman.
2: There is a woopie coushin hidden inside. Everytime the flipper fires, the woopie goes off.

I dont want to argue, theres been enough of that already, but GGG is a three way cluster, painted like Pudsy (with bandages painted on the underneath), and seeing as theyre not working together, just in as three bots working independantly, its not like it intend to win with it, its just there to fill a spot, in fact its a bot i dont uise in any other tournament because it is meant to be a comedy bot, for someone not in this, you do moan a fair bit, and there, youve got *me* into a rant.

Martyn, use GGG or use this, heck use both, or use none, whatever, not like i care. Tony, a little advice, and goodness knows im not trying to piss you off, leave the decisions to the guy running the tournament.

Weight: 100 kg, 50 kg each
Speed: 15 mph
Turning circle: Zero
Ground clearance: 5mm
Weapons: Both have two drills on the front

SRIMECH: None needed. Bandages on bottom like Going Going Gone

Whoa, easy there. I wasnt trying to piss you off, I was just saying GGG wasnt really a comedy bot. Or at least, i didnt really see what was a joke about it. Sorry for any offense taken.

Name: Voodoo
Shape: A cake shape eg. squat cylinder
Colour: Black with lime psychadelic swirls all over (kind of like aborgine art)
Comedy aspect: Its weapon - Ill cover it below
Weight: 100 kg
Speed: 20 mph
Turning circle: Zero
Ground clearance: 1mm
Weapons: On the top are little models of the other contetants (the people) arranged in a ring, next to each is a little arm which picks up little pins from the cetnral reservoir and stabs them into the models (which rotate and are lowered up and down on platforms so you get varying coverage) to produce a devastatign voodoo attack. This is all automatic so happens withotu my help. Also has eight carbon steel spikes around it, and can do a bit of full robot spinning.
Armour: 12 mm Carbon fibre/titanium composite
SRIMECH: a large rollcage, which also protects the weapon from beign squashed
Strengths: Calls upon the dark power of voo-doo to smite its enemies...
Weaknesses: Has a finite number of pins (about 500).

Name: Ed,EddnEddy
Weight: 100kg
Dimensions: all 3 are 55cm cubes, but Edd has a triangular flipper shape at the front(like Raging Reality) and Eddy has a slight THz type extension on the front
Weapons: Ed: Ed has a front panel covered in solid stainless steel spikes, 5 rows of 6 spikes. Edd: Edd is armed with a rear hinged flipper that€™s powered by a soda stream bottle and can flip 150kg, and its Raging reality type shape. Eddy: Eddy has a large headsman axe, a smaller version of THz, driven by an astroflight through a gearbox delivering a 300kg force on the other end.
Drive: Edd and Eddy are powered by a pair of Astroflight motors powered by 36v NiCad packs with a 2wd system, but Ed has a pair of Mag C40s powering a 4WD system, also powered by 36v NiCad€™s.
Speed: Ed: 20mph, Edd and Eddy: 15mph
Armour: 3mm stainless for all of them
Srimech: Ed is invertible, Edd and Eddy can self right with their weapons
Colour: see photo on profile
Strengths: Work well together
Weakness: Each part is only about 33kg, so can be thrown easy
Link: 3 progned bar that is slotted into the Eds and is released by a magnetic catch so it fall on the floor when they split.

Name: 1WD
Weight: 100 kg
Shape: a pretty flat and invertible cylinder, with one wheel in the middle and two smaller cylinders mounted on the sides, with the bottom end scraping over the floor (also when inverted), these are extremely powerful double headed vacuum cleaners actually
Speed: 30 MPH
Clearance: a centimeter or so
Power: 1 B42-500 Magmotor at 48 volt
Movement: 1 wheel
Turning Circle: ~ 40 cm I think
Features: A one wheeled machine, how does it turn? Simple, the sides contain two powerful vacuum cleaners, when I wanna turn left, the left cleaner will be turned on and the left side will suck onto the floor, meaning the bot will turn, once turned far enough, the cleaner will be turned off. With two cleaners turned on, Ill be practically immovable
Armour: 8 mm titanium
Strenghts: will keep the arena relatively clean, look at that speed
Weakness: cant push, cant damage, look at that speed

note to self: never create a funbot again

oh yeah the Pneumatic head is shaped like Darth Vaders Mask and when it flips you hear the quote Luke I Am Your Father.
