Compression
BODY SHAPE: Low box with angled rear and sloped sides
WEIGHT: 100kg
DIMENSIONS (L X W X H): 85cm (90cm with wedge and claws) x 95cm (130cm with claws) x 25cm
COLOUR: Red, the claws are gold with red tips
LOCOMOTION: 4 x 270mm go-kart style wheels with aluminium hubs and vulcanised tyres
GROUND CLEARANCE: 10mm, protected at the front and sides, 10mm at rear
SKIRTS: A 5mm hardox hinged wedge at the front (between the claws) that flops over when the robot is inverted.
DRIVE MOTORS: 2 x LEM-130 lynch motors @ 36v
DRIVE BATTERIES: 4 x 30cell 36v 3Ah Sanyo NiCad packs
SPEED: Can reach 25mph to batter opponents around, but is kept to 15mph when driving around
TURNING CIRCLE: 0 metres
BODY ARMOUR: 3.2mm hardox monocoque for the most part, with 5mm hardox extra protection in key areas such as battery mounts
CHASSIS: 3.2mm hardox monocoque
WEAPONRY: The front horizontal Kan Opener-style crushing jaws are closed completely via a vivoil pump powered by a LEM-130 motor @ 36v, the hydraulics are at 3000psi giving 4.5 tonnes of crushing force between the tip, this is interchangeable for a pneumatic setup powered from a 3kg bottle and 2 x 100mm rams at 725 psi each. The claws themselves remain the same in both setups and are tungsten tipped with serrated edges
The hinged wedge between the claws beaches opponents with the Mute-style barbs it has so that the opponent can be pushed around while the claws keep hold, this is perfect for pitting robots because the wedge will flop over the edge of the pit so when the claws let go the opponent will fall straight in.
SRIMECH: Can run inverted
STRENGTHS: Powerful weaponry, can end battles in seconds due to grab and pit using the weapon synergy, fast, good armour
NOTES: Just a slight re-freshening, getting rid of the silly triangle shape, spikes and bosches. Known for a while as Compression 1.1, but I'm not keen on that name.
