Red FlagShape: Sort of hard to explain. It's an outward wedge, cut in towards the middle, where the weapon is, making it impossible to flip from the front unless you stop the weapon and get under it and flip. The top slopes down towards the back, which is box-shaped but has a steep slope. The sides are not sloped. Colour: Red Weight: 147kg Speed: 12mph Drive: 2 LEM130s @ 48v, gearing would probably be 4.5:1. Power: 8 NiMH battery packs Motivation: 4 Biohazard style wheels, slightly bigger. Armour: The lifting skirts are made of aluminum alloy, and the rest is 9mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy. Ground Clearance: 5mm around the sides, and they get lower still as they approach the cut-off wedges in front. The ground clearance there is probably 1mm. At back it's 0mm thanks to the skirts, and 10 without them. Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 140 x 80 x 90 Weapons: At the front is a 36kg vertical flywheel made of titanium. It has 3 hardox, diamond-tipped teeth to shear through medium-strong armour. At the back are linear actuated lifting skirts, but they're pretty weak and more defensive than offensive; basically they're to prevent any type of wedge from getting in from the back. The skirts on the spiked wedges front are not lifting skirts. Srimech: None. Strengths: Almost impossible to get under and flip, destructive weapon, tough armour. Weaknesses: The disc might take punishment from horizontal spinners, and IF flipped, it's dead. BIO: A cocky attempt at a vertical spinner. It's been predicted well though. Probably my oldest standing generation vapourbot thus far, but it's now been replaced by Fulcrum...both of which competed in ARC and didn't do well.

FulcrumShape: Render explains it. Colour: Canadian flag colours! ;D Weight: 154kg Drive: 2 C40-300 MagMotors @ 36.3 volts, geared 4.5:1 Power: 11 M1 A123 Li-Ion cells Motivation: 4WD on a skid-steer. Polyurethane rubber tyres on aluminium hubs as per usual. Speed: 13mph Armour: The body is a 10mm Ti/V alloy monocoque, and the flipping arm is 3.2mm Hardox 400. The scoop itself is 3.2mm Hardox in front and on the sides, and 7mm Grade 5 Titanium in the back, bolted securely. In-between the scoop plates is 40mm of rubber, similar to Bambulance but less exposed. The flipping arm attaches to the scoop through more Titanium and Hardox plating so it stays on. Ground Clearance: I'd say about 10mm at the sides, 15mm at the rear, and dead zero underneath the front scoop, and the skirt and scoop behind that. Turning Circle: Spins on the spot, so zero. Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 140 x 100 x 35 Weaponry: A full pressure flipping scoop. It's powered by a 5kg CO 2 tank and a 150mm stroke 100mm bore ram. It can flip 1000kg and toss 300kg, and has enough power for about 25-30 flips. It's not quite as powerful as some other SHW flippers but the main purpose is to damage the underbelly with the titanium spikes on the scoop instead. The tactic is to get an opponent on the scoop, then flip them, and slash the belly with the spikes, thus damaging them as well as inverting them. If anybody tries to get underneath the flipping scoop, the front is also scoop shaped and has a detachable titanium skirt, taken off when fighting FBSs. If they get stuck on the front scoop shape, the scoop flipper can come down on them and clamp them, kinda. I can then push them into the pit or somewhere else. Srimech: Flipper. The sides are sloped to a point where it'll always land on its back if flipped. Notes: Is actually a redesign of Red Flag because it has another flag coloured on the sides that's red. ;D BIO: Red Flag badly needed a redesign, and here it is. I think this will do quite well. It didn't in ARC, so let's try FRA. Battle Record = N/A Time of Activity = January 2009 - present Notable Achievements = None
