ARC: Reckoning Signups

Post by NWOWWE » Fri Dec 05, 2008 9:23 pm

At long last it's here! A new ARC fantasy league is finally getting underway again. The rules are essentially the same (see below). You have until the first Sunday in January (Jan 4, for those who are too lazy to look at a calendar) to register your team of bots. The format for posting your team is posting your Team Name, a picture/link to picture of each bot and a breakdown of their stats. If your entry isn't right we can gladly help you fix it. If you're new to the game feel free to contact a staff member and I'm sure one of us would be able to help you orginize your team.

Now the rules:

GENERAL RULES

- Everyone enters 4 bots, one from each weight class (LW, MW, HW, SHW) and assigns them stats using the old point system.

- 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.

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

- You

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

Still need to hammer out good enough stats for each bot, but, tentativly, this is my lineup.

LW: The Windmill

Speed: 4
Torque: 1
Armor: 4
Weapon: 13

Invertible circular robot, with wedge wheelguards and a hell of a spinning blade.

Image

MW: Return of Feedback

Speed: 8
Torque: 3
Armor: 7
Weapon: 4

A 'puncher' with a huge ram that will warp wedges and destruct spinners by firing against the kinetic energy. Interchangable hinged wedge and ramplate setups.

Image

HW: Flank Attack

Speed: 8
Torque: 6
Armor: 7
Weapon: 1

A grabber more than a crusher, Flank Attack intends to grip the opponents and use superior torque to run them around the hazards. It uses a pnuematic clamping device, ala Tough As Nails, to snap shut and keep them locked in his jaws.

Alright. Here we go.



LW: Endeavor Jr.

Description: Your basic wedge, plus a spinning blade. Fully invertible. The wheels are large enough as to clear space for the blade on both sides. There are silver wheel guards on both sides that do not hinder driving. Spikes in the rear.

Stats:

Speed: 8
Weapon: 3
Armor: 6
Torque: 5

Image


MW: Shockwave XL

Description: Shockwave is back again. I've reverted back to a single piercer. This one has a single sharp tip for a more concentrated grasp, and the potential for more damage. As always, the piercer and lifter work together to raise opponents off the ground. Hinged wedge in the rear. Can self-right using the lifter. The lip on the lifter plate and yellow stoppers prevent opponents from sailing up the wedge and damaging the pneumatics.
EDIT//: Those yellow pipes on the sides that travel down the wedge are not thick enough to hinder me getting underneath opponents. They decrease in size to a point, but the CAD makes them seem thicker.
ANOTHER EDIT//: The piercer is removable!

Stats:

Speed: 6
Weapon: 6
Armor: 5
Torque: 5

Image


HW: Fritz

Description: a low-profile bot with a repositionable spinning blade. It can be attached at either 0, 45, or 90 degrees. Optional back attachments are: hinged wedge or metal scoop. Built-in SriMech arm to right Fritz when using the horizontal blade. When vertical or tilted, the bot can right itself by kicking back.

Stats:

Speed: 5
Weapon: 9
Armor: 5
Torque: 3

Image

SHW: Turbulence

Description: This is the 5th installment in the Ring Around the Rosie series. an Extremely low profile ring spinner. Fully invertible. It is built with a strong speed stat in order to dart around, damage opponents, and run away before sustaining too muc damage or being pushed around.

TEAM PICUS

Finally getting my entries in, mega thanks to Gemini/Chris/whatever he wants to be called :P, Marti/MadBull and Kody for preparing these awesome CADs for me. :)

Broken Wings (LW, walker)

Image

SPEED: 2
WEAPON: 6 (3 each for lifter and axe)
TORQUE: 7
ARMOUR: 11
DESCRIPTION: Broken Wings uses a walking system adapted from the antweight Type 0 - each side has a gear train run from an NPC-02446 motor that uses smaller gears to make four larger gears all rotate in the same direction, the four legs per side are connected to these larger gears eccentrically and are anchored at the top so the robot walks with comparatively little imbalance, and has tank type steering by reversing one side to turn on the spot. Power comes from 24v NiMh battery packs and 4QD controllers. The inner frame and base are entirely 2014 aluminium and the outer armour consists of a composite of multiple layers of carbon fibre, kevlar, titanium sheet and aluminium mesh and is rated as quite bulletproof - it's similar stuff to what was used on armoured personnel carriers in the early 90s - and is shock mounted to the inner frame with extra 2014 aluminium side and rear skirts and a sprung spring steel front wedge extender to get underneath opponents. The main weapons are the front full width pneumatic lifter in the wedge and the pneumatic axe on the top of the machine, designed to work together to clamp an opponent rather than do extended damage on their own, and are run from a Sodastream CO2 cylinder with three 10 bar 40mm bore rams (two on the lifter, one for the axe). The axe is capable of self righting the robot if it's retracted, and the lifter is capable of self righting it if the axe is fired.

Octavius (Middleweight)

Image

SPEED: 7
WEAPON: 6 (flipper power)/2 (thwackbot translation speed)
TORQUE: 3
ARMOUR: 4
DESCRIPTION: Octavius runs on two S28-400 Magmotors at 24v from NiMh battery packs, driving two wheels set well in from the sides of the machine to allow it to spin and turn faster. Built around a stainless steel frame with polypropylene and titanium laminate shock mounted armour panels and some extra stainless steel on the flipper face, the main active weapon is the front pneumatic flipper, consisting of the front and top panels, running on 16 bar CO2 from dual 50mm diameter rams and a block of three paintball cylinders that give it about 40ish uses of the weapon on a full charge. This is able to self right it if it gets flipped as well as toss a few other machines around, and the machine has a secondary attack method as well - it spins round on its wheels and uses custom 'melty brain' control electronics (not a Y drive but same idea more or less) to translate while spinning, turning it into a giant mobile spinning disc with the two hardened steel blades on the sides.

Stiltskin (Heavyweight)

Image

SPEED: 4
WEAPON: 7
TORQUE: 6
ARMOUR: 5
DESCRIPTION: A classic and reliable wedge flipper design with a few mods - the main drive of the robot is from tracks constructed from hardened aluminium conveyor chain laid out similarly to Kater Killer inside the body, with a layer of Vulkalon bonded to every other link to provide good grip and pushing ability, driven from two LEM130 Lynch motors running on 24v NiMh battery packs. The weapon of Stiltskin is a full length rear hinged pneumatic flipper run on full pressure (2400psi) nitrogen through a single 120mm bore nonattached (Gravity style) ram with a 3 litre buffertank and 2kg main tank giving quite a few (10-20) uses of the weapon. (that little wheelie bar at the back prevents it throwing itself over if it flips with nothing on the wedge). It goes without saying that the weapon self rights it.
The armour of the robot is the most intriguing part as all the components excluding the pneumatic tanks and ram are housed inside a 3.25mm Hardox protected compartment set well inside the main armour, welded to two 5mm Hardox plates per side that support/protect the track drive and idler sprockets and runners. These help shape the rest of the body and outer armour, which is constructed from 7mm polycarbonate mounted on rubber shock absorbing pads with a titanium frame and sprung down blade on the flipper to give it strength and a zero front ground clearance, and the large gap between the polycarb and the actual innards and mechanics of the robot should hopefully allow it to take lots of damage and keep going. Basically an ARCised version of my FRA heavyweight of the same name.

Drive (Superheavyweight)

Image

SPEED: 6
WEAPON: N/A
TORQUE: 9
ARMOUR: 7
DESCRIPTION: Just 9cm high and invertible, made of a titanium semi-monocoque chassis with titanium side and rear skirts, Hardox top and base shock mounted panels and a spring hinged front Hardox wedge with twin hardened steel spikes either side. Not much to the robot really, just a pure pusher making use of two S28-400 Magmotors per wheel - a total of 8 on four wheel drive with the drive wheels having Vulkalon tyres for more grip, and positioned at the back and middle of the robot with casters being used at the front to give good turning ability.

Hope these will do okay, or at least when they lose, get obliterated in a somewhat amusing manner.

Team Zlayerz entrants:

LW: Scarab

Image
Image

Speed: 5
Weapon: 9
Torque: 4
Armour: 4

Front eggbeater weapon (similar to Sir Loin) which can spin both ways, should damage and flip. Has a rear hinged wedge, just in case the beater stops for some reason I can ram stuff around. Invertible, has two ramming spikes at the front (should've mentioned those beforehand <_<) as well, and several on the sides.

MW: Perseus

Image

Speed: 5
Weapon: 10
Torque: 3
Armour: 4

Double-crescent-shaped front and rear to get under opponents easier with the two front points, due to the surface area rule. The powerful hammer can hit on both ends and can fire quite many times. Can self-right using it as well, of course. The shape makes hit kinda hard to hit a vital area.

HW: Shadow Zone Forever

Image
Image

Speed: 9
Weapon: 1
Torque: 7
Armour: 5

Thick concave front scoop (attached to chassis), rear flipper (basically that whole darkish teal panel, similar to Hammerhead 3 from Roaming Robots) that is pretty much only used for self-righting, but can be used against an opponent that can't self-right. Can run inverted as well.

SHW: Fulcrum

Image

Speed: 6
Weapon: 4
Torque: 3
Armour: 9

A scoop flipper. The scoop is very thick like HW Shadow Zone Forever, and has multiple teeth, so when an opponent lands on the scoop, they can get tossed and damaged by the teeth on the scoop at the same time. Due to the slope of the sides, it will always land on its back when flipped, and can self-right easily. The shape under the scoop flipper is also scoop-shaped and has an additional skirt that can be removed if fighting a full body spinner or low horizontal spinner, and then the flipping scoop can close over top of them and clamp them, then I can drag them to where I want.

If you guys want more detailed stats and explanations, look here. Thanks guys. B)
