Name: MicroForce 3.0 Weight: 150g Shape: Low profile box with a front wedge and rounded sides and rear. Colour: The main body is see-thru with a silver front wedge. Length: 100mm Width: 50mm Height: 25mm Motivation: There are four wheels. They are made of HDPE and are 30mm in diameter. Each wheel has a Dycem tyre bonded to it for extra grip on the arena floor. Drive: 4x HS-55 Servos run at 6v from a NiMH battery pack. Turning Circle: 0m using a tank style steer. Speed: 45cm/s Ground Clearance: 0mm on the front wedge, 2.5mm at the back and sides. Armour: 1.5mm thick Polycarbonate monocoque with 1mm Titanium on the front wedge. Weapon: The main form of attack comes from ramming opposing robots around the arena using the wedge shape. SRIMECH: MicroForce 3.0 is invertible and the rounded sides, rear and wedge prevent it resting elsewhere. Notes: Thanks to Aaron for helping me with the original design.

Name: MicroForce 4.0 Weight: 150g Length: 100mm Width: 130mm Height: 20mm Drive: 2x 42mm diameter Pololu wheels. These are driven by 2x Pololu 50:1 HP gearmotors, which are run at 7.4v from 1x Hyperion Lithium Polymer battery pack. Turning Circle: 0mm Speed: Approximately 1.5m/s Ground Clearance: 0mm under the front wedge and variable leading up to 11mm at the rear. Armour: The base, lid and rear panel are all made of 1.5mm thick Polycarbonate, the sides are made of 5mm thick Polycarbonate and the front wedge is made of 1mm thick Titanium. Weapons: The front wedge has an acetate strip to slide under all robots and guide them onto the wedge to be pushed around. Self-Righter: MicroForce 4.0 is invertible and difficult to stack onto its sides due to its low profile. Strengths: Fast, powerful and manoeuvrable drive system & very well armoured. Weaknesses: It's not Anticide.
