Name: Le Nez
Weight: 80kgs
Shape: A low wedge shape with slightly sloping sides and rear. Extending from the front wedge parallel to the ground is a 200mm long extension plate to aid with getting under other robots.
Colour: Silver with a green flipping arm.
Length: 800mm [1000mm with the extension plate]
Width: 700mm
Height: 250mm
Motivation: There are two wheels. They are made of Titanium and are 200mm in diameter. Each wheel has a Vulkolan tyre bonded to it for extra grip on the arena floor.
Drive: 2x S28-400 Magmotors run at 24v from 3600mAh NiCad battery packs. This gives around 9hp in the drive to push other robots around with.
Turning Circle: 0m using a tank style steer.
Speed: 16mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front plate, the sides are variable up to 8mm at the rear of the robot.
Armour: The main body is made up of a 5mm Titanium monocoque. The front extension plate is made of 3.25mm thick Hardox.
Weapon: The main weapon is a rear hinged flipping arm. Not only does it run down the wedge shape but also runs out 200mm parallel to the ground as a flipping plate. It is operated by a huge 100mm bore 180 stroke ram. This is fed by liquid CO2 at a pressure of 300psi producing approximately 1600kgs of force. The gas is contained in two 2.2kg canisters allowing for over 20 full power flips each fight. The flipper is designed so that it runs flush to the ground and can get under the opposition with ease. It also means the flipper can get under things 200mm away from the main body, which may be an advantage when fighting spinners.
SRIMECH: The flipping arm can easily self-right Le Nez while the sloping sides prevent it from resting on its side.
Notes: 80kg bots FTW!
