WEIGHT: 13.1kg
DIMENSIONS: 40 x 30 x 7cm
SHAPE: A parallelogram wedge, basically a box with a wedged front and an inverted wedged rear
COLOUR: Black and yellow chevrons in a continuous pattern up the front wedge, up the top panel, down the rear inverted wedge and down the base panel. The sides are black with the name written in white.
DRIVE: 2 Bosch DPD 12v 120w motors (as used in Alpha and Micro Mute) run at 22.4v and controlled by a RoboWars IBC controller, driving two inner urethane rubber tyred wheels.
BATTERIES: 14 2500mah lithium ion cells configured in two packs to give 5ah and 22.4v
SPEED: 15mph
GROUND CLEARANCE: 0 at whichever wedge is down at the time, rising from 0-7mm at the rear.
ARMOUR: 2.5mm stainless steel all around, with an extra layer of 0.75mm grade 5 titanium on the front and rear wedges. The frame mainly consists of 10 and 5mm polycarbonate that provides additional protection beneath the stainless steel at the sides and top.
WEAPONS: Redemption mainly relies on the pushing power from the two Bosch motors to dominate opponents, but has a weapons system comprising a third Bosch DPD 12v 120w motor run at 22.4v that belt drives two 65mm diameter diamond edged grinding blades, one at the front and one at the rear of the robot, embedded vertically in the wedge like Angel Of Death. These spin upwards to have some lifting effect but are mainly there to cause armour damage and hopefully rack up Damage points should a fight go to the judges.
SRIMECH: Invertible, controls reverse when flipped, and the sides have three spikes each that prevent it landing there.
NOTES: The batteries and electronics of the robot are shockproofed to withstand hits, rams, and general life in the arena. A gyroscope in the electronics helps it keep to a straight line and generally makes control a lot easier.
Thanks to Kody Kunz for the CAD
STRENGTHS: Well armoured, powerful, can cause damage as well as dominating an opponent, good traction
