Robot Name: Weapon Synergy Unleashed (Clusterbot)
Dimensions (LxWxH): The main body is 60cm x 40cm x 20cm, with the different weaponry adjusting the dimensions of each part accordingly.
Shape: Each part is an invertible box with a front horizontal C section cut out of it for the interchangeable weapon modules. On the sides the robot has a rounded bump near the back to stop it falling on its side.
Colour: To help determine which cluster is which, the robots are given extremely different colours. Part One is white, Part Two is red and Part Three is light blue.
Weight: Maximum 99kg with heaviest weapon module on board (each part is 33kg).
Drive: Each part is powered by 2 x S28-150 Mags running at 24v, powered by 24v NiCads. The motors give 6HP of push for each cluster.
Top Speed: Around 12mph, possibly 15mph with lightest weapon module on.
Wheels: Each part has 2 x 22cm diameter wheels made from HDPE and given a thin rubber tyre.
Armour: 3mm Titanium all over each part.
Weaponry: The cluster has 5 different weapon modules depending on its opponent or opponents. Each weapon module has been designed to easily secure onto the front of the cluster, meaning that the change between each weapon is minimal. For tournaments without interchangeable limitations, each cluster will have one of each weapon module, meaning that if needs be we can have 3 flipping clusters.
Turning Circle: 0m.
Ground Clearance: With the flipper and scoop the ground clearance at the front is 0mm, with the rest being 1cm all over. All other weapon modules have 1cm ground clearance all over.
Srimech: Depending on the weapon module.

• Weapon 1: Flipper: Attached to the front of each cluster is a flipping arm with a large flipping plate mounted on the bottom. To help keep the weight down, the arm is made from a tube of 4mm Titanium, allowing it to have strength but to be lightweight. The flipping plate is 3mm Titanium and runs parallel to the ground to get under all ground clearances. The weapon is powered by lightweight pneumatics running at 750psi, and on board is a 1.1kg bottle of CO2. The flipper can self right the robot, as well as it being able to run inverted.
  
• Weapon 2: Jaws: On the front of the robot is a set of pneumatic grabbing claws made from 5mm Titanium, with weight reducing holes in them These are powered by the same pneumatic system as the flipper, and can be used to grab robots and dump them into the pit. These can run inverted.
  
• Weapon 3: Axe: The robot has a large axe made from Grade 5 Titanium. Once again it is powered by the same pneumatic system. The axe head is made from a 1kg block of Aluminium alloy and has lots of small, jagged spikes on them (similar to a meat tenderizer). The axe head also has small side spikes to help self righting.
  
• Weapon 4: Spike: The robot has a large Titanium spike which is fired out of the robot using the pneumatic system. This runs inverted.
  
• Weapon 5: Scoop: The front of the robot is made into a thick Aluminium scoop, allowing it to be an effective spinner killer. To get the weight for the weapon, the entire pneumatic system is removed from the robot. The scoop can be used when the cluster is inverted.
