Name: Monsoon Lite
Weight: 80kg
Armour: 8mm Polycarbonate
Speed: Roughly 28mph
Shape: Box shaped, 80 x 30 x 25 (L x W x H in cm).
Weapon 1: Front scoop made from 4mm Hardox with a 4mm Ti/Vanadium alloy sharpener at the bottom to give a 0mm ground clearance.
Weapon 2: Pneumatic flipper powered by CO2.
Strengths: Powerful drive and good strong weapon
Weaknesses: A bit too fast and hard to control when at full speed.
Ground Clearance: 0mm on front, 1cm on sides and back.
Srimech: Invertible.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 x LEM130 Lynch motors running at 36v, giving 20mph top speeds and 18BHP pushing power. The robot has a total of 6 wheels, 3 on each side. Each side is linked together by a set of heavy duty belts, giving 0m turning circle and the manoeuvrability of a 2 wheeled robot, and each wheel is coated in Vulcalon. The front wedge is angled at 42.5 degrees, meaning that it is not too steep or too shallow. The robot carries 4kg of CO2 on board, enough for about 35 flips. The flipper is powered by a 100mm stroke, 80mm bore pneumatic cylinder. This should flip around 350kg clean into the air. The flipper is attached to the scoop. The main aim for Mega Monsoon is to be a spinner-killer: stop any spinning weaponry with the scoop and use its’ phenomenal pushing power to dominate its opponent and eventually flip it OOTA.
