Teresa
Shape: Box on wheels, with an angled front end.
Colour: Hues of grey, with a red exo-chassis.
Weight: 145kg
Drive: 2 PERM PMG 132 motors, 49.5v, geared 9:1.
Power: 6 packs of 15 M1 A123 Lithium-Ion cells.
Motivation: 2WD; usual CNC aluminium hubs with go-kart tires slapped on 'em.
Speed: 12mph (20mph max)
Armour: 15mm 6063 aluminium alloy chassis with 8mm Ti10V alloy slotted in-between a 10mm steel exoskeleton. The side skirts are 4mm Ti10V alloy with steel hinges.
Ground Clearance: 0 at the forks and side skirts, 25mm otherwise.
Dimensions: 125cm x 120cm x 35cm
Weaponry: A Hardox ramming bar. It is run off of a Type 1 Hydraulic motor (18lbs) and fed off a 5 gallon reservoir in the back of the robot. The motor winds up, pulling the bar back before the fight. It can be released in an instant. It is primarily used to:
1) Fire directly into a horizontal spinning weapon. By proxy, it would fire the kinetic energy of the spinning weapon back into itself, doing damage to the spinner's weapon motor.
2) Act as a keep-away stick, preventing damage done to the main body.
3) Fire into wedges and damage them, reducing their effectiveness.
The bar goes all the way through Teresa, and attached at the very back of the ramming bar is a spike on each side, so Teresa can act as a thwackbot.
But that's not all! The front Ti10V alloy forks are geared 5:1 to the wheels, acting as torque-reaction forks. Simply put, when the robot stops, the axle is clamped, and the resulting torque will go where the resistance is lowest first, which means the forks. This is similar to the way Overkill's knife blade works, but it spins the opposite way thanks to the gearing. The forks would be able to lift around the same weight as Teresa or a bit more.
Srimech: Completely invertible.
BIO: I have no idea if this will work, but say hello to a Custom Fantasy League veteran, Teresa! It's in actuality her third version, but this is the first version she'll be in on FRA! Say hi, Teresa!
