Team Name: Team BriteSpark
Representing: Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales
Robot Name: Dennis The Menace
Length/Width/Height: 100 x 40 x 25 - 35cm (The height of the robot increases as you move from the front to the back).
Weight: 100KG
Motivation: 2 foam filled go kart wheels made of uber-tough rubber.
Speed: About 18mph
Weapon: The main weapon is a 20kg spinning drum, powered by 2 Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motors. The weapon is capable of changing gears during a match. Originally, the drum spins at 2400RPM when geared down 10:1, but this can be increased to 2:1 at systematic intervals of 2 gearings (10:1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1 2:1). The 4mm Titanium drum is fitted with 2 horizontal Hardox bars, welded, screwed and riveted on to avoid them coming off. These are designed not only to flip, but to rip off skirts and armouring. The drum can hit with over 10kJ of force when spinning at 2400RPM, and increases to an astonishing 243kJ when spinning at 2:1 gearing (12000RPM).
Drive: 24v Sinclair C5 motors.
Power: 4 x 24v NiCad batteries.
Armour: 5mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
Ground Clearance: 4mm all around.
Turning Circle: 0M
Notes: The robot is invertible, and is completely symmetrical when flipped, meaning the performance isn€™t altered at all. The robot€™s shape is basically a box, but with the height increasing as you move from front to the back. The robot has 2 thick Hardox spikes on each side, which means it can pass the passive weaponry rule, and these also stop the robot resting on its side. To stop it resting on its back, the rear of the robot is slightly curved.


Turning Circle is 0m

AXE-O-LOTL

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Comengetorix
Speed: 20mph
TC: 0
GC: 2mm
Wheels: 4 inner
Armour: Mainly aluminium (5mm) with 3mm Titanium top plates.
Power: Same stuff as Storm 2 and Cyclone Force uses.
Colour: Has interchangable panels. One set is pure black, the other pure white with pink tinges.
Weapons: A very nasty axe, with the power of Dominator 2. The head is diamond tipped, and the whole weapon is VERY persistant. It can fire about 40 times in one fight.
Srimech: The axe rights the robot. The robots body is designed so it cant be side stranded.
Inspiration: My favourite amphibian, the axolotl.
Strengths: Powerful weaponary
Weaknessess: Questionable armour.

BIO
Axe-O-Lotl likes a bit of Mexican chilli powder with his lubricating oil. After a break in Mexico, Axe-O-Lotl has returned to join the mightiest of the mighty on Team Dinowarrior. His powerful/persistant axe is brutal, and he has just as much power as Cyclone Force.

Time for some good festive n00b flaming!

Dan: Sinclair C5€™s? You€™re such a caveman! XD

Chris: I€™d say 2mm clearance is too small€¦

Tim: Four LEM130€™s is pushing the weight a little IMO€¦ what thickness is the Titanium? What are the flipper and axe powered by? What hinge is the flipper?

Sorry Dave, just couldn€™t resist€¦ :P

Diotoir gets away with it. Plunderbird gets away with it. Even Comengetorix, who my robot is based on, gets away with it.

And Sinclair C5s have recently been found to be the most reliable motor around so

Anything running less then 5mm GC will get beached on the smallest of crude. I thought 3mm was fine on my first featherweight, I was wrong I run 10mm minimum and even that I still get beached on wedges and torn off parts of robots.

@ DAN: That drum is soo gonna break 4mm titanium.... I know feather weights with thicker pieces then that for there weapons.....
