Robot Name: DreamCatcher Dimensions (LxWxH): 100cm x 100cm x 20cm Shape: Very low dome. Colour: Black with a purple pentagram painted on the top of the robot. Weight: 100kg. Drive: 2 x LEM130s running at 24v, powered by some 24v NiCad batteries. Top Speed: ~18mph. Wheels: 2 x 15cm diameter wheels made from Aluminium alloy, coated in Vulcalon for extra grip. Armour: The entire dome is made from 4mm Hardox, with the blade made from 1cm Hardox. The baseplate is 5mm Polycarb. Weapon: The robot is the weapon, in the form of a full body spinner. The shell is powered by a 3120XP Husqvarna chainsaw motor geared down 10:1. The shell can spin at a maximum speed of 2400RPM. On the shell is a large piece of 1cm thick Hardox, which goes from one side of the robot, along the top of the shell and down the other side of the robot, effectively making two blades from a single piece of Hardox. This piece is secured tightly onto the shell and will spin with the shell. The blade is 15cm wide and 1cm thick, and according to MatWeb weighs just under 12kg. This, when added to the weight of the shell, brings the total spinning mass to 42kg (again, according to MatWeb). Turning Circle: 0m. Ground Clearance: 4mm all around. Srimech: None.
