Gabriel VDIMENSIONS: 110 x 80 x 25 cm SHAPE: Elongated triangular pyramid, with a comparatively steep rear and shallow front...and large ears, which are explained below COLOUR: See the pic, mostly yellow and black DRIVE: 2 C40-300 Magmotors run at 32v (from 40 x 2.3ah A123 lithium ion cells giving 32v and 9.2ah in four packs), geared 10:1, driving two rear urethane rubber coated 2014 aluminium wheels. No castors, just runs on the nose cone. SPEED: 16mph GROUND CLEARANCE: 0mm at the front due to the nose cone, which scrapes the floor, rising to 12mm at the rear underneath removable side and rear 5mm 7075 aluminium skirts. CHASSIS: TIG welded 2mm wall 25mm stainless steel box section frame ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox on both sides and the rear, mostly welded into one shell for extra strength. The base is 5mm 2014 aluminium (recessed into the chassis somewhat to protect from low mounted Spin Dash type weapons) and the front nose cone is 10mm hardened S7 tool steel. WEAPONS: A front hinged full bottle pressure pneumatic flipper, constructed from 5mm stainless steel and fed from two 1.1kg CO2 tanks into an 80mm bore hydraulic ram, giving about 2.8 tonnes of lifting force and good for around 30 full power flips. There are two hardened S7 tool steel spikes located at the back of the nose cone as well, one either side, and these are brought into play by spinning the robot around, essentially making it double as a thwackbot. SRIMECH: The flipper. The rear is at such an angle that stranding there is very difficult (and operating the flipper will unbalance it onto its back) NOTES: Where possible, Gabriel V's internals have been shock mounted to prevent too much shock damage from spinners and ramming attacks. The robot sports two removable triangular 'ears' at the back of each side, which are made of 15mm UHMWPE (supported by a bar of the chassis' box section) and designed to stop robots from going over Gabriel from the front and driving over the back and down.

Minesweeper 1.1
Minesweeper 1.1 Weight: 100kg Shape: Tornado (S7) Colour: Gold on top and bottom, Silver on the sides, with MINESWEEPER written on the sides in red. The scoops are bronze. Dimensions: 90cm x 85cm x 25cm Drive: 4x 24v S28-400 Magmotors, powered by 6x NiCad Battlepacks. The motors power all 4 wheels via a belt system, and I should get about an average of 18hp from them. Locomotion: 4 Titanium/Vanadium alloy wheels with Vulkanized rubber tyres. Armour: 5.5mm Hardox monocoque, underneath that is 1cm of vulkanized rubber to absorb impacts. Speed: 20mph Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and back due to scoops, and 5mm at sides. Turning Circle: 0m Weapon: 2 Hardox snowplow-like scoops that can move slightly vertically, like Behemoth's, so I get good pushing power, but 0mm ground clearance at front and back. Srimech: Invertible

The Final CutWeight: 110kgs Shape: Two box shaped sections joined by horizontal parallel bars. This looks like an “I” from above. The picture below may help you to understand it. Colour: Sky blue, with a dark grey disc and red teeth. Length: 600mm Width: 975mm Height: 150mm Motivation: Two 70mm wide tracks made of 5mm thick Titanium/Vanadium alloy. Each track has Asmaprene urethane rubber pads on for extra grip on the arena floor. Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors running at 24v from NiMH batteries. Turning Circle: 0mm using a tank style steer. Speed: 18mph Ground Clearance: 5mm around the box sections and 10mm under the weapon support bars. Armour: 4mm Hardox for all of the panels and 10mm Hardox for the weapon. Weapons: A 725mm diameter horizontal flywheel with two cutting teeth. It is powered by two S28-400 Magmotors and spins at 2450rpm from a 2:1 ratio. It is 35kgs in weight and can provide around 70kJ of kinetic energy. Self-Righter: The Final Cut is completely invertible. Due to its shape it is very difficult to stack it on its sides. Notes: The weapon support bars are attached using shock mounted fixings to reduce the chances of the weapon harming its own internal components.

Next Stop, Jupiter
Weight: 100kg Shape: Warrior SKF, with a wedge extension on the front. Colour: Colours of the planet Jupiter, duh. Dimensions: 100 X 81 X 21 cm Power: 2 X LEM-130's @ 36v, powered by several NiCad Batteries, shock-proofed. Wheels: 2 X Aluminium Wheels with Urethane Rubber for superb grip Armour: 3.5mm Hardox for the wedge, 7mm Ti/V for top and bottom, 5mm hardox for the rim Speed: Roughly 13 mph Ground Clearence: Obviously 0mm for the front, and 6mm for anywhere else Turning Circle: Zero... how many times do I have to tell you guys?! Weapon: A nasty 27kg spinning rim powered by an LEM-130 Lynch, and spinning at 2000RPM. It also has 8 X hardox teeth on board. (Four on top, Four on Bottom) The rim can deliver some VERY nasty damage to another opponent. It can slice through titanium, and dent hardox without any problems. The motor is shock-mounted, to avoid killing itself from its own hits. The rim can also transfer its energy to the front kinetic flipper, thanks to a clutch. This flipper has a wedge extension which is nearly impossible to get under. The flipper can also throw robots with HUGE force. Can you say, OOTA?! Srimech: Yes, it can run inverted... BUT the flipper can right the robot if needed.

Apocalypse II
Weight: Roughly 100kg Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, ala Storm II. The front wedge is angled at 30* to get under opponents, and the sides are sloped at 42* to deflect spinners. The rear is rounded for easier self-righting. Length: 80cm Width: 60cm Height: 15cm Motivation: 2 x internal HDPE wheels, each are 125mm in diameter and they have vulcanised tyres for extra grip, plus they are mounted like Tazbot’s for more manouevrability. They are in the front of the robot so that the front turns rather than the rear, ala Merlin. Drive: 2 x S28-400 magmotors run @ 24v from 2 x 3600mAh NiCad battlepacks; this should provide about 9 horsepower. Armour: 3.2mm hardox monocoque for the most part, strengthened in certain key areas with extra 5mm titanium/vanadium alloy sheeting. Weaponry: The robot is a decent pusher, but on top there are three sets of Mute-style barbs, one on each side and one running down the flipper arm. These are tungsten tipped to allow it to trap robots on top, and once their stuck on top they can’t get free. The second weapon is what I use to get rid of the robot stuck on the barbs. It is a Bio-Hazard style 4-bar flipping arm, but unlike Bio-Hazard it is run off full pressure pneumatics, meaning it will easily throw robots out of the arena. It is 30cm wide and runs down the centre of the robot, made of 4mm hardox and powered by a 120mm x 100mm bore stroke ram @ 750psi from a 1.5kg gas bottle, giving it about 10 flips per round, which should be enough. On the front of the flipper arm there is a strip of 8mm grade 2 titanium, which should aid in getting under the other robots Speed: 15mph Ground Clearance: 0 at front, 8mm at sides and rear, but this is protected by 5mm titanium torsion-sprung skirts made of grade 2 titanium. Turning Circle: Using the skid steer system ala Razer gives Apocalypse II a 0 turning circle Srimech: The 4-bar flipper can right it in less than a second, but to conserve gas there is an electric srimech hinged at the rear of the robot. This is the two strips of barbs on either side of the machine lifting up to vertical via a Bosch 750w motor run @ 28.8v from a NiCad battlepack. This rights the robot in 1 second, and can also be used offensively to tip opponents stuck on the barbs into the pit Colour: This new Apocalypse keeps the colour scheme of the old one, with dark blue bodywork and a red weapon.

Monsoon Season
Dimensions (L x W x H): 90cm x 80cm x 35cm Shape: Box wedge, slanted sides and steep rear wedge. Colour: The main body shell is black, with the flipper/ramming plate in bright green. The sides of the machine have skulls drawn on them in the same colour green as the flipper/ramming plate. Weight: 110kg Drive: 2 x LEM130s running at 36v, powered by a bunch of 36v NiCads. Top Speed: Approx 15mph. Tracks: This version of Monsoon has tracks instead of wheels, therefore allowing me to have an extra 10kg of weight in the machine. The tracks are made from Titanium/Vanadium alloy and have Vulcalon pads on every section of track in order to fully incorporate grip on the arena floor. Armour: The baseplate is 5mm Titanium. The main body shell is constructed from a single piece of 30mm HDPE. The flipper/ramming plate is made from 4mm Hardox and covers the whole of the front of the machine. Weaponry: At the front of the machine is a 4mm Hardox flipper/ramming plate, similar in style to Atomic from Series 7 of Robot Wars. The flipper/ramming plate is powered by 2 x 80mm bore 60mm stroke pneumatic rams, run off CO2 gas contained at 1000psi. The gas is held in 3 x 1.1kg CO2 gas canisters inside the robot, and should allow for plenty of flips in a battle (roughly 35 flips). The front of the machine can also be used as a ramming plate, allowing Monsoon Season to use its enormous pushing power as well as the ability to flip its opponents clean out of the arena. Turning Circle: 0m Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, 7mm at sides and back. Srimech: Flipper.

Die-Reverta-Tops
Weight; 100 kilos Body Shape: A variation on the Wedge shape...it's sort of shaped like Spawn Again, but is more closely sized to Firestorm. Speed; 15mph TC; 0 GC; 0mm at front, 10mm at sides and back. Wheels; 4 inner Armour; 8mm titanium Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by S28-400 Magmotors, at 24v. Colour; Green, with Killer Carrot style wrinkles, mouth and eyes. One of the eyes has a plaster over it, the other is a black eye. A few bandages are painted on this time. Weapons: A large pneumatic rear-hindged CO2 flipper, capable of flipping a tonne or so. Mounted on the flipper, and powered by its own Bosch motor, is a roller. This is designed to thrust the robot out of the way of oppodents when flipped over, so it can self-right safely. This feature, I believe, is unique. Srimech; It uses the flipper to self-right.

Under PressureShape – Please look at the picture, lol. Its basically 2 huge claws with wheels between them. The claws have 2 tips each rather than 1 but this will be explained in the weapons department. Weight – 100 Kilogram Speed – 14 mph Dimensions – 90x150x20 cm Ground Clearance – Zero underneath the lower tips of both claws, quite big otherwise, its essentially an axlebot after all. Power – 2 S28-400 Magmotors at 24 volt. Movement – 2 titanium wheels with strips of rubber glued on them. Turning Circle - Zero Weaponry – A pair of huge claws around a “main body”. The claws contain some of the internals though. They are powered by a Vivoil pump at 3000 PSI powered by a LEM-130 at 36V. The power is transferred through 70 mm (diameter) bore and a 60 mm (diameter) rod. This results in 3.5 tonnes of force at both tips. Now for the actual claws. As the picture tells, each claw has two “tips”; one at the bottom that’s shaped like a wedge and one fine point above that, please notice that when the two “wedges” touch each other due to the claws closing in, some distance between the fine points remains. The deal is that when the claws are activated the opponent is first scooped up by the 2 wedges scraping their way under the main body, thus lifting his wheels off the ground. Next the fine points come in and start piercing their way through the main body. This design cancels out the problem that most horizontal crushers have in that they cant completely dominate an opponent as long as the opponent maintains a level of grip on the surface. Armour – 5 mm titanium for the “main body” (the brown bit between the wheels), 3.5 mm Hardox for everything else (claws, ram, bore, and the bits of metal extended from the claws that go behind the ram to protect it from head-on attacks). Srimech – Invertible, though the weapons isn’t quite as effective when inverted.

Mornington CrescentSHAPE- flat cylinder PICTURE- img25.imageshack.us/img25/5661/morningtoncrescent.bmpCOLOUR- white, with the London Underground sign for "Mornington Crescent" on the top and bottom WEIGHT- approx 100kg DIMENSIONS- 100cm X 20cm SPEED- 12mph TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm GROUND CLEARANCE- 8mm ARMOUR- 3.5mm Hardox MOVEMENT- 4 x inner wheels POWER- 2 x S28-400 Magmotors, running at 24v WEAPONS- Mornington Crescent is armed with not one, but TWO outer spinning rings, one on top of the other. The top ring spins anticlockwise, while the bottom ring spins clockwise. Each ring has four teeth and weighs about 10kg. The rings are powered by an LEM-130 running at 36v each and can reach speeds of 1500rpm. The two rings spinning in alternate directions should also help the robot be easier to drive - theoretically, anyway. SRIMECH- invertible NOTES- flies Scotland flag, thanks to Joey and Andy for helping with stats

Nitro-Gene 5.0
WEIGHT: 100kg
ARMOUR: 3.25mm monocoque Hardox for the body, with very strong Stainless Steel bolts capped off with rubber to avoid them being broken by spinners. 4mm Hardox flipper. Inside the body, there’s 1cm of Vulkanised rubber on the sides and rear, with 3cm on the front to help fight powerful spinners, and there's also 0.5cm of PU foam covering the motors and flipper rams inside for protection.
SHAPE: Low invertible box with sides and rear angled in a <> shape, with the rear angled >. The front is completely flat, making it useful at hitting into things and bashing. All the lines have been curved over to make it harder for a spinner to grab onto a panel and rip.
MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP
LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels, each is 40mm in width, and they’re also 180mm in diameter.
DIMENSIONS: (L) 85CM (H) 17CM (W) 75CM
COLOUR: Dark Blue all over with the flipper coloured red with the name imblazed on the flipper (running vertically down the robot) in gold writing with a thick silver outline. All the edges of the robot are coloured gold.
WEAPONRY: A full pressure Nitrogen powered flipper at 1000psi, using a single 110mm ram at 1000psi. The flipper is mounted in the middle of the robot, and is 15cm wide and runs 65cm up the body. Using a 5cm long 10mm thick Titanium wedge underneath the flipper, and a heavy flipping arm, the flipper runs completely along the ground. Running on a ratio 2.1:1, the flipper produces 1600kg of force at the tips, allowing me to launch anyone away! This version has enough lift to get a robot of equal size 11-6ft into the air, and throw it 11-6ft along. This version has 1 x 2kg Nitrogen bottle, giving me 15 flips! The flipper has enough power to self-right Nitro-Gene 5.0 in a super stylish 540* somersault!
SPEED: 20mph
GROUND CLEARANCE: 0CM-1CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the skirted sides/rear, its 1cm. 4mm Titanium skirts held on by Hardox hindges are mounted on the sides/rear and join up at the corners, making it harder to get under.

Lethal Weapon
Weight: Uncertain, but verified under. Shape: Think an invertible Mechavore, including the skirts at the sides and rear. Dimensions: 60x70x24 Power: 2X Husqvarna 3120xps and 2 S28 mags at 24v for drive, 3 NiCad battlepacks for batteries. These mags power a Big Nipper style drivetrain, meaning four wheels on either side up. Speed: 17 mph Armor: 3mm Tivandium [Titanium/10%Vandanium], including skirts Weapon: 30kg, 60cm disc running at 5000 RPM, producing 156 kjs. Notes: Innards are shockproofed to prevent too much damage dealt to itself.

SymmetryWeightclass: Heavy Dimensions: 140cm x 100cm x 50cm (widest points, including disc, 70 cm without disc and a-frame) Shape: rounded robot in the back, 2 horizontal discs in front. Weight: 100kg Weapon: 2 counter rotating 80cm diameter 8mm disks, powered by 2 Perm 080 motors at 33V Batteries: blocks A123 M1 33V, 9.2Ah Drive: 2 Bosch GPA750, 33 volts method of motivation: 4 wheels, 2 top 2 bottom, Vulkalon rubber on them. top and bottom run in reverse of their bottom partner in joint gearbox. (a bit like Crustacean) Top speed: 10mph / 16kmh Ground Clearance: 4mm all round, 1 disc is 9cm of the ground. Armour: 4mm Hardox sides and back, 2mm on top and bottom, real monocoque so also doubles as the frame. Srimech: invertable

Flipping Hell
Dimensions: 120cm x 80cm x 40cm Weight: 100kg Shape: steep wedge front, elongated wedged tail (not used as a weapon) Weapon: 50 Bar 2 pivot pneumatic flipper, 100mm bore, 180mm stroke ram powered by CO2, which generates a force to throw a 100kg robot 20ft up and 15ft across. The mechanism is a 4 bar flipper, but the rear arms sit much lower in the robot than those of Storm 2 and Biohazard. I will try and get a picture. Top speed: 15mph Transmission: just like Razer’s GC: 0 at the front, 2mm down the side, 4mm at the back end Turning Circle: 0cm Armour: 6mm aluminium and steel alloy Notes: 4 wheels, the rear two of which are Razer type, so the flipper is always facing its opponent.
