Dennis The Menace/Requiem

[Team BriteSpark]

Robot Name: Dennis The Menace
Length/Width/Height: 100 x 40 x 25 – 35cm (The height of the robot increases as you move from the front to the back).
Weight: 100KG
Motivation: 2 foam filled go kart wheels made of uber-tough rubber.
Speed: About 18mph
Weapon: The main weapon is a 20kg spinning drum, powered by 2 Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motors. The weapon is capable of changing gears during a match. Originally, the drum spins at 2400RPM when geared down 10:1, but this can be increased to 2:1 at systematic intervals of 2 gearings (10:1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1 2:1). The 4mm Titanium drum is fitted with 2 horizontal Hardox bars, welded, screwed and riveted on to avoid them coming off. These are designed not only to flip, but to rip off skirts and armouring. The drum can hit with over 10kJ of force when spinning at 2400RPM, and increases to an astonishing 243kJ when spinning at 2:1 gearing (12000RPM).
Drive: 24v Sinclair C5 motors.
Power: 4 x 24v NiCad batteries.
Armour: 5mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
Ground Clearance: 4mm all around.
Turning Circle: 0M
Notes: The robot is invertible, and is completely symmetrical when flipped, meaning the performance isn’t altered at all. The robot’s shape is basically a box, but with the height increasing as you move from front to the back. The robot has 2 thick Hardox spikes on each side, which means it can pass the passive weaponry rule, and these also stop the robot resting on its side. To stop it resting on its back, the rear of the robot is slightly curved.

Robot Name: Requiem.
Length/Width/Height: 100cm x 40cm x 35 – 25cm (the robot’s height decreases from the front to the back).
Shape: Invertible box with a > section cut out of the front, which houses the spinning drum. The rear of the robot is rounded and each side has a thick Hardox spike, stopping it from resting on its side.
Weight: 100KG
Motivation: 2 foam filled go kart wheels made of uber-tough rubber.
Speed: About 18mph
Weapon: The main weapon is a 20kg spinning drum, powered by 2 Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motors. The weapon is capable of changing gears during a match.

The drum can hit with over 10kJ of force when spinning at 2400RPM, and increases to an astonishing 243kJ when spinning at 2:1 gearing (12000RPM). However to avoid self destructing, the spin will only spin at a maximum speed of 4800RPM.
Drive: 24v Sinclair C5 motors.
Power: 4 x 24v NiCad batteries.
Armour: 5mm Titanium and Vanadium alloy.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, 7mm all around.
Turning Circle: 0M
Srimech: Invertible.

Robot Name: Requiem R-evolution
Dimensions (L x W x H): 90cm x 50cm x 35cm
Shape: A box with a front wedge angled at around 40 degrees. The sides are slightly angled to stop it resting on them.
Colour: Yellow and Green, for they should never be seen.
Weight: 150kg
Drive: 2 x LEM200S running at 36v, powered by a bunch of 36v NiCad batteries.
Top Speed: 15mph (ish) ;D
Wheels: None, technically. This incarnation of Requiem uses camshafts to propel itself around the arena. There are 4 shuffling Drillzilla “feet” on the machine, each made from Titanium and coated in rubber for added traction on the arena.
Armour: The main body of the robot is 1cm Aluminium Alloy, strengthened in places with 3.5mm Hardox panelling (on the sides and the front wedge). The baseplate is 5mm Titanium.
Weapon 1: In the middle of the wedge, is a 15cm long spinning eggbeater, made from a single piece of 2cm Hardox. The egg beater weapon is 15cm long and 10cm high. It is powered by a Huqsvarna 3120XP chainsaw motor geared down 24:1, giving a top speed of 1000RPM in a matter of seconds. The egg beater is situated on an axle made from 5mm Hardox, which also spins. Total kJ output – a lot! ;D
Weapon 2: The secondary weapon on Requiem R-evolution is a pair of electronic lifting arms, mounted along the top of the machine and going down the wedge each side of the spinning eggbeater. The arms are made from 6mm Titanium and also act as a srimech. At the bottom of each arm, near the bottom of the wedge, the arms widen and are used to get underneath machines so it can bring the drum into play. The arms are powered by 2 x S28-400 MagMotors running at 36v, and reduced by 75:1, enabling it to lift a lot but not sacrifice too much of the speed.
Turning Circle: 0m
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front due to the front wedge/lifting arm combo. Sides are 5mm and the rear is 1cm.
Srimech: Uses the arms to self right.
