A Random Thread

[mrdaves]

€˜ello €˜ello €˜ello, what€™s going on here then? A new random thread for me?

I got Christmas off from any work, so it€™s good news for me and not-so-good news for you, because it means I can spend more time online doing stuff.

So what I want from people who are reading this very random thread is to enter a vapourbot. I€™m not asking for mass overkill in the stat department with workings to the nearest tenth of a gram, because whats the point in that if this is only a game? Below are the areas which I would like everybody to fill in, but you can use any stat format you like.

Name:
Shape:
Weight: (Standard HW limits)
Motivation:
Power:
Speed:
Ground Clearance:
Skirting:
Armour:
Weapon:
SRIMECH:

Right, with any luck I would have posted this on the Friday, so you get to Monday to post your vapourbots. The arena will be the standard robot wars arena; the format will be decided on how many people decide to enter, of what will be my final fan-fic to be written:

Right, get cracking

Name: Mass Disctruction Revolution (MDR)
Motivation: Wheels
Speed: 10.5MPH
Ground Clearance: 10mm
Weight: 100kg
Height: 140mm
Length: 700mm
Width: 700mm
Weapon: MDR sports a nifty 25.69kg Titanium Spinning Rim. The spinning rim is powered by a C40 Magmotor on 36v and is geared 5:1, rotating the spinning shell at 1200rpm and should spin up in around 2 seconds to max speed.
Drive: 2 x S28 Magmotors on 36v geared 12:1 onto a 140mm diameter wheel. Wheels are coated in urethane rubber to get more traction. The combined drive has 8HP peak power.
Batteries: 120 x 3600mAh NiCad Cells made into 36v packs. Produces 36v @ 14.4Amp/Hours
Armor: 5mm Aluminium top and bottom.
Notes: Invertible and easily to drive.

Strengths: Spinning weapon can attack/defend from any direction and has a moderately good 4WD drive train.
Weakness: High ground clearance might leave it susceptible to wedges and flippers. Rammers may try to box rush.


@Anthony Politzi: Youre not going to have the weight for 5 LEM130 motors & the required batteries to power them. Be half realistic will ya !

@Kevin Smith: How do you power motors at 36v when your giving them 48v of batteries? Got Logic?

I suppose i can tune it down to 24v then...

Name: Dues Ex Machina
Shape: Its centrally a block, set inside a thick ring. To be explained in weapons. Invertible.
Weight: 100kg
Motivation: On the central block there are two thin wheels, powered normally, set into the outside ring are two larger broad and high traction wheels with high power. The system is that either the outer ring can be locked parrallel with the inner wheels (using an actuator pwoered bolt, creates four wheels in a row) to give it quite good pushing power)
Power: 2x Lem 130s at 48volts for the outside wheels, 2x 750 watts Bosch motors at 24v for the inner wheels.
Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 2mm
Skirting: N/A
Armour: Outside ring has a spinner ring on it, beneath is 6mm titanium. On top (and bottom) there is 2cm polycarb.
Weapon: The otuer ring turns the robot into either a fbs or rambot, depending on opponent, when locked in place the ring turns the robot into a rambot, however, the wheels, when the ring is unlocked, turn in opposite directions, turning the outer ring into a spinner. The outer ring weighs 28kg and has two 2kg hardox blades, which are 3cm long.
SRIMECH: ivertible

Name: Vertindicular
Shape: Basic low box wedge with a disc support in the centre.
Picture: Sort of like this - http://www.micro-maul.co.uk/action/IMG_1619.JPGhttp://www.micro-maul.co.uk/action/IMG_1619.JPG
Weight: 100kgs
Motivation: Four wheels with a simple rubber grip.
Power: Two LEM130€™s at 48v powered by NiCads.
Speed: 12mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front wedge, 8mm at the sides and back.
Armour: 5mm Hardox front wedge, 6mm Ti/V everywhere else.
Weapon: A vertical spinning disc, held in a sort of cage that supports it and allows it to be run both ways up. Driven by a LEM130 at 48v. Two Hardox sharpened teeth to attack with on the disc. Can damage and flip other robots.
SRIMECH: Can work invertible, the cage simply swings into place.
Notes: Simple yet effective robot, one of the few vertical spinners about.

Hope that€™s all right, just tell me if you need any more info.
