Name: GeForce
Motivation: Wheels
Speed: 15MPH
Weight: 100kg
Height: 250mm
Length: 800mm
Width: 60mm
Weapon: The weapon is a true 1000psi top hinged flipper (Most people say there robot has a 1000psi CO2 flipper, but this isn't true as CO2 becomes a liquid at 750psi). The reason this is a true 1000psi flipper is on the fact that GeForce uses Nitrogen Gas (Like Atomic in Series 4) Nitrogen can be stored as a gas at over 1000psi. The flipper has a 80mm bore ram at the 1000psi to produce 3462Kgs of force at the ram. This is then decreased by the reverse lifting ratio which brings the power at the tip down to 1500kg. There are 2 x 2kg canisters which will give the flipper enough power to flip 22 times before dropping to a pressure level that it will cease to self-right.
Drive: 2 x LEMCO 130's on 48V. The wheels are Volcalon tread bonded to the Titanium giving it superior traction.
Batteries: 120 x 3000mAh NiCD Cells producing 48v @ 12Amps
Armour: 10mm Aluminium Boron Carbide (Stronger than steel, but lighter then aluminium).
Notes: Self-rights using flipper, has small skirts at a 60` angle designed to prevent wedges from going under.
Advantages: Lots of flipping power, lots of tractions, lots of push, strong armour
Disadvantages: Limited supply of Nitrogen to power weapon, ITS A FLIPPER!

Name: GeForce
Body Shape: A tall wedge with sloped sides and a slightly sloped rear
Colour: Shiny silver with GeForce written in red on the front flipper
Weight: Around 100kg
Length: 80cm
Width: 60cm
Height: 25cm
Speed: Around 15mph
Turning Circle: The robot can turn on the spot using it’s two wheel drive
Ground Clearance: 0cm at the front going up to about 1cm at the back
Armour: 8mm thick Aluminium Boron Carbide (Stronger than Steel and lighter than Aluminium)
Motivation: Two Titanium wheels at the back of the robot, each has a Vulkollan grip bonded to it. These are driven by two LEM130 Lynch Motors on 48v powered by 120x 3000mAh NiCad cells producing 12amps. This gives GeForce about 18hp in the drive, so it’s a mean pusher too.
Weapons: The main weapon is a rear hinged full pressure flipper. It is powered by an 80mm bore ram that is pumped with Nitrogen gas at 1000psi. The power of the flipper is reduced using a reverse lifting ratio that means it is capable of flipping 1500kg at the tip. The gas is contained in two 2.2kg canisters giving over 20 flips per fight.
SRIMECH: The flipper can self-right the robot in huge style (540* summersaults)
Strengths: Awesome flipping power, lots of push and grip, great armour
Weaknesses: Limited gas for the flipper, vulnerable back

GeForce Evo 3.0
Shape: A low wedge with sloped sides and a sloped rear.
Dimensions: 800mm x 600mm x 250mm (Length x Width x Height)
Motivation: Four aluminum wheels with a layer of Vulkolan bonded on for extra grip.
Drive: Two LEM130 Lynch Motors on 48v powered by 120x 3000mAh NiCad cells producing 12amps.
Speed: It can reach a top speed of around 15mph.
Turning Circle: The robot can spin on the spot using a Tornado like skid steering system.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front going up to about 10mm at the back.
Armour: 3.25mm Hardox 450 monocoque.
Weapons: The main weapon is a rear hinged full pressure flipper. It is powered by an 80mm bore ram that is pumped with Nitrogen gas at 1000psi. The power of the flipper is reduced using a reverse lifting ratio that means it is capable of flipping 1500kg at the tip. The gas is contained in two 2.2kg canisters giving over 20 flips per fight. The flipper has a Titanium blade for getting under other robots better.
Self-Righting Mechanism: The flipper can self-right GeForce in a 540 degree flip.
Notes: Lightly upgraded in the armour department.

Name: GeForce 4.0
Shape: Low to the ground wedge with sloped sides and rear.
Dimensions: 800mm x 600mm x 250mm (Length x Width x Height)
Weight: 100kgs
Motivation: Four CNC Aluminium wheels with holes for weight reducing. There are two choices of tyre that can be used on the edge of these wheels. The first choice are bonded with Vulkalon rubber for superb grip on metal surfaces. The second choice are made with standard rubber with small screws poking out for extra grip on wooden surfaces.
Power: Two LEM130 Lynch Motors on 48v powered by 120x 3000mAh NiCad cells producing 12amps.
Speed: 15mph
Turning Circle: The robot can spin on the spot using a Tornado like skid steering system.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front going up to about 10mm at the back.
Skirting: 5mm Titanium skirting at sides and back.
Armour: 3.25mm Hardox 450 monocoque.
Weapon: The main weapon is a rear hinged full pressure flipper. It is powered by an 80mm bore ram that is pumped with Nitrogen gas at 1000psi. The power of the flipper is reduced using a reverse lifting ratio that means it is capable of flipping 1500kg at the tip. The gas is contained in two 2.2kg canisters giving over 20 flips per fight. The flipper has a Titanium blade for getting under other robots better.
SRIMECH: The flipper can self-right GeForce 4.0 in a stylish 540 degree flip.

Ge5orce

Post by AJ on Jun 24, 2008 17:46:54 GMT -5
Name: Ge5orce Weight: 100kgs Shape: A long but low to the ground wedge shape, with a wheel pod either side at the rear end. The rear of the wedge is rounded slightly to prevent Ge5orce resting on its back. Please see the render below, thanks to Kody. Colour: Black wedge with silver wheel housing. Length: 900mm Width: 700mm Height: 250mm Motivation: There are two wheels, one either side of the wedge. They are made of Hardox and are 280mm in diameter. Each wheel has a Vulkolan tyre bonded to it for extra grip on the arena floor. Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors run at 24v from 3600mAh NiCad battery packs. This gives around 9hp in the drive to push other robots around with if required. Turning Circle: 0m using a tank style steer. Speed: 16mph Ground Clearance: The front of the wedge is 0mm, while the sides are variable up to 15mm at the rear of the robot. Armour: The whole of the wedge is 3.25mm thick Hardox. The wheel pods are made of 6mm Titanium. Weapon: The whole wedge shape is used as a weapon in the same style as Wheely Big Cheese. This means that the wedge is hinged at the rear and the whole plate is used as a flip up. It is operated by a huge 100mm bore 180 stroke ram. This is fed by liquid CO2 at a pressure of 300psi producing approximately 1600kgs of force. The gas is contained in two 2.2kg canisters allowing for over 20 full power flips each fight. SRIMECH: The robot can run both ways up and the weaponry can also flip it back over if needed. Notes: GeForce has evolved into a launch pad… For those unaware of what Wheely Big Cheese is like, watch this - uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2jYTotkRN5g - and now imagine a robot with 3 times the power each flip. ;D  |
