Drive (SHW)
WEIGHT: 145kgs/200kgs
DIMENSIONS: 125 x 120 x 9 cm
SHAPE: A very low box, with the sides sloped inwards towards the front so it's more of a trapezium shape, with wedged sides and rear. At the front is a 4mm Hardox wedge, which is hinged so it flops over when inverted.
COLOUR: The top half is shiny silver, and the bottom half black.
DRIVE 8 (yes, 8) S28-400 Magmotors running from 12 NiMh packs at 36v, two motors driving each of four 100mm wheels with urethane rubber treads for grip. The wheels are situated at the back and middle of the robot, with castors at the front, which gives it much better maneuvrability.
SPEED: 12mph average, 20mph max
GROUND CLEARANCE: 5mm, except the front which is 0
ARMOUR: 3.25mm Hardox on the top and bottom, with the remainder (front, sides, rear) being a continuous 10mm Ti welded plate, which acts as part of the chassis as well.
WEAPONS: The front has two hardened S7 tool steel spikes at either side of the wedge, these spikes angle slightly downwards to dig into other wedges, and are very sharp. No active weaponry - this is a pure pusher.
SRIMECH: Invertible. The sloped sides prevent it resting there.
THEME SONG: "Drive" by The Cars. Again, what else?
NOTES: Very heavily shockproofed, with the top armour, motors, batteries and electronics shock mounted to reduce impacts. Has a pair of very bright white LED headlights at the front, just below the spikes.
STRENGTHS: Good armour, very good pushing power and maneuvrability
WEAKNESSES: No active weaponry
MODIFICATIONS TO RUN AT 200KG:
1: The top and base panels are replaced with 5mm Hardox
2: Everything inside is made considerably sronger through the use of steel bits and mountings etc.
3: Every available space inside, where practical (enough is left for cooling purposes around motors etc.) is filled with polypropylene plastic which should make it very difficult to damage effectively.
