ARC: Revolution

All right everyone, its time for the Revolution! Yes the next chapter in the ARC CFL leagues is upon us at last and with a brand new style that should be very interesting. We will be looking for an even number of entrants to ensue smooth fight cards. The basic rules will be as follows:

1. Everyone enters 4 bots, one from each weight class (LW, MW, HW, SHW) and assigns them stats using the old point system (more details on that later for those that need a refresher course).

2. The battles will take place in a Round Robin style (as opposed to the traditional tournament style) in which each bot will face every other bot once with playoffs afterward to determine the champion of each weight class.

3. No double entering the competition (that means no smurf accounts or anything like that).

4. You

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

The lightweight you have come to know and love has been modified for ARC. Still the same 4-wheeled robot with dual spinning bars, but now the bars are more exposed. A new double-hinged wedge in the rear to ensure it's the lowest thing in the arena. The hinged wedge has a cable to stop it from folding under itself. Invertable.

I know, I've said a few times I wouldn't enter any CFLs again, but I feel like I really owe you guys for taking my return so well, and seeing as how you're really short on entrants, it's the least I can do.

Spot reserved. I'll have four at the end of the day. (I'll put them up when class is over).

Team: "Yellow Alert"

LW: Exotherm
Image
Pretty specialized design. It actually has top armor, I just couldn't put it on because I lost the CAD file years ago. It's basically a reticulating spinner. The idea is to do unconventional top attacks, where the armor's weaker, over enemy weapons. Designed it a long time ago to take on Aaron Vertex's MDU.
Speed - 5
Weapon - 8
Armor - 3
Torque - 6

MW: Influenza
Image
Uh oh, it's in the same weight class as AMP... heh... That'll be interesting. Can't self-right. I sacrificed a lot to get a single-plane full body propeller, to maximize weapon efficiency. Tiny lower frame, all the motors in the upper section. Good luck reaching far enough to hit them :).
Speed - 3
Weapon - 11
Armor - 3
Torque - 5

HW: V'Ger
Image
Probably my most refined robot of the group. Can self-right. The armor is only see-through for the purposes of seeing the parts. It's really aluminum/magnesium alloy on top, steel tube frame. There isn't much armor, but I tried to put it only in places that needed it. So the wheels and the back, basically.
Speed - 7
Weapon - 8
Armor - 3
Torque - 4

SHW: In the red square.... MINION!

Yeah, well, I didn't see any rules that said I couldn't enter something real. Could it at least count if I could render it? C'mon, it's freaking Minion!

Heh... all spinner team this time. How did that happen?

A vertical disc spinner with orbiting wedges that rotate around the tubular body. Blade is run off two EV warriors. Can drive inverted, only difference is blade spins upside down. Can self right by spinning in place in gyroing back over like Ntertainment

MW: Disc Obsession
Image
Speed: 4
Armor:5
Weapon:11
Torque:2
Another vertical spinner, with small wedges leading up to the triangular blade. Rear wedge incase weapon dies, weapon is spun by "invisible" belt to a 3" mag motor.

HW: Poly-Stone
Image
Speed: 5
Armor:2
Weapon:15
Torque:1
Very powerful horizontal spinner, designed to keep weapon facing opponent, rear wedges that aren't to strong, but to attempt to take a few imapcts. Can run inverted, weapon is belt-driven to an etek motor.

SHW: Snewer Sake
Image
Speed: 6
Armor: 6
Torque: 6
Weapon: 4
Based loosely off of Sewer Snake, has lifting wedge to attempt and flip opponents over, can drive inverted, wedge is equally functional on both sides.

For all the CADS being modified in about 45 minutes from their original designs, I say it was decent ;)
