The Alexandra Sisters
IS A TWO-PART CLUSTERBOT!
#1. Cassandra Alexandra
Shape: Low pyramid without a top.
Colour: Blue
Speed: 15mph
Weight: 45kg
Armour: 8mm HDPE, the stuff that doesn't break :-)
Drive: 2 LEM130s @ 36v
Power: 6 NiCad Battlepacks @ 36v
Motivation: 4 CNC hubs with urethane rubber for grip.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front, 5mm round the sides and 10mm at the back.
Turning Circle: Zilch.
DImensions in CM (LxWxH): 60 x 50 x 20
Weaponry: A flipping arm hinged at the back of the top (will be explained easier in upcoming CAD). It's made out of titanium and is powered by a single 2kg CO2 tank at 750psi. This should theoretically give Cass enough to toss 250kg onto its back and send something of her own weight flying a long way across the arena. The arm is 20cm wide, for reference.
Srimech: Invertible.
Strengths: Fast, powerful, manoeuvrable, good weapon, hard to get under the front.
Notes: Is the slightly smaller of the two.
#2. Sophitia Alexandra
Shape: Scoop at the front, with long wedge at rear.
Colour: White
Speed: 12mph
Weight: 55kg
Armour: 7mm titanium
Drive: 2 S28-400 MagMotors @ 24v
Power: 4 NiCad Battlepacks
Motivation: 4 CNC hubs with urethane rubber for grip.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and rear, 6mm for the sides
Turning Circle: Zip
Dimensions in CM (LxWxH): 70 x 55 x 30
Weaponry: Like Cass, Soph has a flipping arm as well, but more powerful, and hinged midway down the rear wedge. Powered by 2 2kg CO2 tanks and 900psi, it can send a 400kg over onto its back, and a bot of equal size VERY far across the arena. The arm is 25cm wide and made of titanium as well.
Srimech: Flipper.
Strengths: Powerful, manoeuvrable, extremely powerful weapon for 55kg.
Notes: Is the slightly bigger of the two.
NOTE: This CAD was done mostly by Martijn. I tidied it up a bit and stuck the two pics together but he did the real work, since my Rhino3D got cut off for a bit, but now I have it back.
BIO: A two-part clusterbot. You can never separate the sisters when they're together, even when they have to be redesigned for being kinda boring.
