Dervish V

[Team BriteSpark]

Name: Dervish \/
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 10mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, with 5mm Lexiguard inside that to protect electronics.
Speed: 14mph
Shape: Invertible cylinder, like Barberous
Weapon 1: Spinning body which spins upwards, so it can flip its opponents.
Strengths: Powerful weaponry and very manoeuvrable
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels.
Ground Clearance: 7mm all around
Srimech: Invertible
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 C40-500 MagMotors with 4 36v packs and geared down 20:1, giving the robot a top speed of 14mph. Both wheels are based around Stinger, but have Vulcalore trims to aid in traction. The spinning body is made from 10mm Aluminium Boron Carbite, with 5mm Lexiguard inside that. The spinning body has Carbon tipped blades and Grade 5 Titanium blades attached all over it, so it can destroy all matters of armour. The body itself is powered by 2 LEM 130s running at 36v via 4 packs. This means the drum spins at approx 2500RPM. This should be enough power to destroy a robot in a matter of seconds.

Robot Name: Dervish: Generation X
Dimensions (LxWxH) 50cm x 130cm x 50cm
Shape: An axlebot, with the main body being a huge 45kg rectangular piece of Hardox.
Colour: The wheels are silver, the spinning weapon is blue, the wheels are black.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 x LEM130 Lynch Motors running at 24v, geared down 1.5:1, powered by some 24v NiCad batteries.
Top Speed: 15mph, allowing us to control the robot a bit more than if the motors were not geared down.
Wheels: DGX has 2 custom made wheels from 5mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy, and are covered in Vulcalon in order to gain grip on the arena floor. The wheels are 50cm high and 15cm wide, and house all the electronics and motors for DGX. Everything in the wheels are shock proofed against any strong impacts the wheels may face.
Armour: The robot does not have that much armour, except for the wheels, which are 5mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy and the Hardox spinning block which protects the middle of the robot from being grabs or pushed in any way.
Weapon: The main weapon of DGX is the huge 100cm long “egg beater” weapon – basically a huge spinning body. The weapon has been adapted from Humdinger’s (see link at end of stats for a video) to be used as a full body beater. The egg beater is a hollow rectangle in shape: 100cm wide and 37cm high. The middle of the weapon has been cut out, leaving a 2cm Hardox hollow rectangle as the weapon. In order to add extra weight to the weaponry, 3 of these hollow rectangles have been put together in order to create a weapon that is 25.5kg in weight. The beater is powered by a Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motor geared down 24:1, giving a top speed of 1000RPM. Not sure on the kJ output of this because it cant be done on Team Cosmos’ site, but nevertheless it should knock some robots around the place.
Turning Circle: 0m
Ground Clearance: 7.5cm in the middle of the robot, but you gotta avoid that spinning beater first!
Srimech: Invertible.

Robot Name: Dervish: The l337 Generation
Dimensions (L x W x H): 40cm x 100cm x 40cm
Shape: Axlebot with triangular wheels guards… look at the CAD. ;D Unlike the CAD, the outsides of the wheel guards come to a slight point in the centre so the robot cannot rest on its side.
Weight: 100kg
Drive: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors running at 36v, powered by some 36v NiCad batteries.
Top Speed: 10mph
Wheels: 2 x custom made Titanium wheel hubs with Vulcalon tires for grip. The wheels are 8cm wide.
Armour: Each wheel guard is made from 4mm Hardox monocoque section. The beater is made from a single piece of Titanium 10cm thick.
Weapon: In the middle of the robot is a spinning beater made from a thick piece of Titanium. The beater is 40cm long and 10cm wide, with the centre of it being cut out, leaving a 10cm thick gap throughout the beater. In total the beater weighs roughly 22kgs. The beater is powered by a LEM130 lynch motor, geared appropriately to give a top speed of 1500RPM. Can you say, ouch?! ;D
