D.V.D: The Third (Death Via Drum)

[paulc]

D.V.D: THE SEQUEL (Death Via Drum)

• WEIGHT: 100kg

• ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox body and 6mm Hardox wedge.

• SHAPE: An invertible box shape with triangular sides and rear, slanted like this <> and the rear like this: >.

• MOTORS: 2 x LEM130’s at 36V = 18HP

• LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulcanised Wheels on top and bottom ala Big Nipper.

• DIMENSIONS: (L) 90CM (H) 23CM (W) 90CM

• COLOUR: Black for the drum, white for the body.

• WEAPONRY: At the front is a 15kg drum, made of Titanium with 3 sharpened tool steel teeth. The drum is powered by 2 x LEM130’s on a ratio of 1.5:1, giving a spinning speed of 6500rpm! 65kj of energy per hit, and if flipped, the drum can be reversed to help it spin the right way – upwards. Behind the drum, there are massive amounts of Vulkalon rubber to avoid self-destruction. To help with pushing other robot around, I’ve added an invertible wedge to the front made of 6mm Hardox to make it ultra low. The wedge is hindged at 30*, so getting under things is no problem, and it can also lead the opponents onto the drum.

• SPEED: 13mph

• GROUND CLEARANCE: The ground clearance is no longer the same all the way around, due to the Hardox wedge at the front – its 6mm on the sides and rear..

• STRENGTH: Good all-rounder.

• WEAKNESS: Low speeds.

Battle Record: 3-3

D.V.D: THE THIRD (Death Via Drum)

• WEIGHT: 100kg

• ARMOUR: 7mm Titanium body and 4mm Hardox for the wedge plates.

• SHAPE: An invertible parallelogram shape ( /===/) with triangular sides and rear, slanted like this <>. The wedges are hindged at 30*, making it very easy to get under anything.

• MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 24V = 6HP

• LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulcanised Wheels with Aluminium 2 spoke hubs.

• DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (H) 20CM (W) 80CM

• COLOUR: White for the drums, black for the body and teeth of the drums..

• WEAPONRY: 2 x 7.5kg Titanium drums with bluntened Hardox teeth, one in the front wedge, the second in the rear wedge. Both the drums are connected by a chain-and-gear mechanism, so when the front one spins, so does the rear, and they spin upwards. The drums are powered by 2 x LEM130's at 36V allowing a maximum speed of 5400rpm (Each is designed to spin upwards, so being flipped won't damage it's damaging ability too much). Both drums have an output of 38.5kj each, and the wedges on the front and rear have an extension plate, allowing them to get under the opposing robot, and drum the bottoms. The power also means that I can push other around the ring as well. 1 Inch of PU Foam in the front and back mean that the robot won't shock-kill itself, or get shock-killed. The insides are also strapped and bolted down with Tool Steel bolts.

• SPEED: 15mph

• GROUND CLEARANCE: The front and rear clearance is absolute 0mm. 6mm on the sides and rear.

• STRENGTH: Strong drums.

• WEAKNESS: Unksirted side clearance.

Battle Record: 4-3
