I havent done something crazy like this in a while, so just to exploit it while I can, before Alex boycotes this design like Gas Turbine MDU ;-)

Name: Acid Burn
Motivation: 6 Shuffling Pads
Speed: 8MPH
Weight: 150kg
Height: 200mm
Length: 1200mm
Width: 1200mm
Weapon: The weapon is an out rigger spinning cage like The Plague which is mounted to an inner 25kg shuffling robot, which controls the direction of the weapon. The spinning cage has 3 wheels which friction drive it via the ground, each wheel is powered by a LEM200D @ 60v (52 Peak HP each). Each has a variable ratio drive installed allowing it to go from 5:1 to 1:1 gearing dependant on drive load. The full spinning cage weights 125Kg and rotates @ 1800rpm and delivers its explosive kinetic energy via 3 large teeth mounted 10mm from the floor.
Drive: 2 x S28-150 Magmotors on 24v driving 6 shuffle pads
Batteries: 80 x 4200mAh Intellect NiMH producing 24v @ 8.4AH for the drive. 500 x 3600mAh NiCD producing 60v @ 36AH
Armour: 5mm Hardox 600 chassis, 3mm polycarb top covers,
Notes: Not invertible. Designed to be a rule bending robot, small little shuffling navigation bot with a 125kg weapon built around it and spun up on wheels. Legitimate, but bendy ;-) Picture coming soon, once I render it

Lol, you must note that I am incredibly set in my ways, so if its legal now, until there is a standard FRA rule against it itll be legal in this tournament.

Oh yeah can I change one of my bots if so then Flipe which is exactly the same as Ripe apart from it has toy Flippys on the flipper and in front of the safety camera so that means it cant see anything.

[alex_holt]

Vapourbot Grand Championships 2006

Just for reference: If I am dubious abotu stats when I look through them on Friday I will post back here and give 2 days to fix them or Ill do it myself. This will entail me looking closely through your stats and makign assumptions that dont compromise what you have written, but may possibly compromise what youve ommitted.

Example: If you are over weight and dont mention a chassis, dont expect one.

[alex_holt]

Vapourbot Grand Championships 2006

Im afriad to say Timothy that I cant understand a single thing you said in that last post... What I got is that you wanted to change one bot to Flipe which is like Ripe but with a flipper. By the way, what exactly are these safety cameras you keep mentioning?

Im making the draw at 2.50, so if you havent entered get a move on, I will probably start fights on Sunday. If the Daves dont enter there may be changes to the seed system to compensate.

[alex_holt]

Vapourbot Grand Championships 2006

Slight modification to that: draws will now be either late tomorrow night or sunday

The safety cameras are that when my footy bots go to the ball because it has nasty weaponry I put safety cameras in so it doesnt hurt any robots.

Vapourbot Grand Championships 2006

Right then:

Name - Mr Bob
Mass: ~ 97 kg
Body Shape - Think Tornado shaped, with a rear hinged wedge. Front end is like tornado€™s scoop in series 7 (with that flail)
Speed: 14 mph, modest but controllable from rest with basic traction control preventing wheel spin
GC: At the front, the wedge is about 0.2mm off the ground, the sides is 2 cm and the rear is the same, but the rear wedge reduces the GC to 1mm. The 2cm ground clearance should prevent getting grounded on the arena
Wheels; 4 solid go-kart indoor wheels with added grip
Armour; Steel ladder style-chassis with support in the right places, 4mm aluminium panels bolted from the inside to the chassis. 20mm foam between panels and stuff inside.
Power; Twin Bosch 750 drive @ 36 volts, tornado style speed controllers and drive system.
Colour; Blue
Weapons; That little flail in the front wedge
Srimech: Invertible
Strengths; Simple, might be good
Weaknesses: Simple, might be crap

And put in chalkie 3G, but reduce the power of the spinner to 2000 rpm. http://farr.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=TeamSolarizedStats&action=display& thread=1118787084http://farr.proboards21.com/index.cg...ion=display&th read=1118787084
