Jinx
Shape: See the render. Basically a very, very low scoop shape with an low angled rear and flat sides, and spiky bits on the scoop and rear wedge. The spikes on the front are actually part of the armour, while the rear spikes are hinged.
Colour: Yeah, same thing, see the render. Or else, think navy blues and pinks.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 LEM130 Lynch motors run at 36.3v, gearing is 6:1 so acceleration is good, but shouldn't be too reckless either
Power: 11 M1 A123 Lithium-Ion battery packs
Motivation: 2WD inner; CNC hubs with urethane tires. Yes, we North Americans call 'em tires, deal with it. The wheels are set near the back of the bot so the front has more weight pushed upon it and can get under opposing robots much easier.
Speed: 14mph
Armour: 7mm Ti/V alloy, with an extra 8mm of Ti/V on the front, making 'er pretty much impenetrable from the front. Underside is 15mm polycarb.
Ground Clearance: Dead 0mm at the front, 0mm rising to 12.5mm at the sides, and 12.5mm at the rear.
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 90 x 80 x 15, so she's quite compact.
Weaponry: A nice rack-and-pinion mechanized pneumatic axe/hammer powered by 2 custom 2.5kg CO2 tanks and a 250mm stroke 150mm bore double-acting ram. It can smack opponents with about a tonne of force and has about 15 full pressure shots. The shaft and axe head are both made out of Hardox so it doesn't break upon impact, and the axe head is shaped to inflict the most damage possible.
The other weapon explains why a double-acting ram powers the axe. It's a claw-wedge thingy on the axe shaft, protruding past the axe head. It's bolted on, but can rotate as if it was hinged. Thing is, when the axe lands, the momentum of the axes travel causes the wedge on the shaft to tilt back enough so it doesn't hit the floor before the actual axe head. When the axe head lands, the wedge will then hit the floor. Jinx can then use this wedge to flip opponents, as shown here.
Srimech: Axe
BIO: Intriguous is a good axe bot, but I needed something with more leverage too. Thus, a Teen Titan name surfaces: Jinx. Kinda moot now since Intriguous won P.T.T.R., but she's staying. XD
