Squish

[Team BriteSpark]

Name: Squishiest
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium
Speed: 20mph
Shape: Low wedge
Weapon 1: A very powerful hydraulic crusher, with 14 tonnes of pressure at the tip.
Strengths: Very powerful crusher and strong armour. Good pushing power and good speed.
Weaknesses: Slow srimech.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to wrinkler device. 5mm at sides and 1cm at back.
Srimech: It uses a set of Razer style wings.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 LEM130 Lynch motors running at 36v, giving 20mph top speed and pushing power equivalent to 18HP. The robot has 6 inner Vulcalore wheels, which give tremendous traction. The crusher itself is made from 4mm Hardox, with 300 weight reducing holes. It is powered by an M-Mac M40 Hydraulic Actuator running at 12v, which can give 14 tonnes of pressure. The actuator has already been used in Robotic Combat, so this robot is realistic. The tip of the crusher is coated in carbon, so it can rip through Titanium easily. For the weapon to function properly, the robot contains 12 x 9.6-volt NiMh Radio Controlled Car Batteries, each weighing 12oz.

Name: Spawn of Squish
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 7mm Hardox
Speed: 20mph
Shape: Horizontal Crusher shaped (i.e. like TAN)
Weapon 1: A very powerful hydraulic crusher, with 14 tonnes of pressure at the tip.
Strengths: Very powerful crusher and strong armour. Ability to dominate matches.
Weaknesses: Flippers!
Ground Clearance: 1cm all around.
Srimech: Invertible.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 x LEM130 Lynch motors running at 36v, giving 20mph top speed and has 2 wheels made out of Titanium and Vanadium alloy with a thick coating of Vulcalon for extra grip. There are hundreds of small screws around the wheels, again for grip on the arena floor. The crushing arms are powered by an M-Mac M40 Hydraulic Actuator running at 12v at a psi of 2500, which can give 14 tonnes of pressure. The actuator has already been used in Robotic Combat, so this robot is realistic. For the weapon to function properly, the robot contains 4 x 12v NiCad batteries. The hydraulic ram is protected at the back by a 5mm Polycarbonate shield, which stops axes and crushers from directly damaging it (although a decent crusher will get through the Polycarb). The whole robot has hundreds of small weight reducing holes around it to get within the weight limit.

Squish Reincarnated
Dimensions (L x W x H): 80cm x 65cm x 40cm
Shape: Boxy wedge, with angled sides and side skirts made from 5mm Titanium. The top of the machine comes to a point, thereby making it land on its side if flipped.
Colour: Black with two enormous Anime-style red eyes on each side of the weapon.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 4 x S28-150 MagMotors running at 24v, powered by some 24v NiCad batteries.
Top Speed: About 12mph.
Wheels: 4 x 15cm diameter Titanium wheels, coated with Vulcalore for added grip.
Armour: 7mm Titanium all over, with the front wedge reinforced with a layer of 3.5mm Hardox. Base-plate is 8mm Polycarbonate.
Weaponry: Embedded in the front wedge is a crushing claw, similar to that of Sir Killalot or Crushtacean. It is made from 2cm thick Titanium and the bottom part of the jaw is designed to be flush with the front wedge. The top part of the jaw is jagged. The jaw is powered by a 80mm x 40mm hydraulic ram powered by a Vivoil pump. The pump is powered by an S28-400 MagMotor running at 24v, powered by 24v NiCad batteries. The claw runs at 3000psi. The main premise of the weaponry is to lift and crush at the same time.
Turning Circle: 0m
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and sides, 7mm on back.
Srimech: An arm on each side of the robot extends from the main body each time the claw/lifter is activated. Each arm is made from 1cm Polycarbonate.
