Systematic Shocker

Shape: Invertible box
Weight: 110kg with setups 1, 2 and 3, 100kg with setups 4, 5 and 6
Dimensions: 80 x 100 x 30
Motivation: 2 x titanium tank tracks,protected from the side and vulkanised
Power: 2 x LEM-200 lynch motors running at 60v
Armour: 4mm hardox, skirts are 5mm titanium
Weaponry: Interchangeable:
1)3mm hardox front wedge which can lift 200kg, powered by 1 x LEM-130 at 36v.
2)2 x 60cm long tungsten tipped hardox lifting spikes, powered by 1 x LEM-130 at 36v, can lift up and down to work both ways up, and can be fixed at middle point to work as ramming spikes
3)A titanium drum, with 8 pussycat style teeth, powered by a LEM-130 at 36v, it spins upwards to flip as well as rip. There is also a 3.25mm hardox scoop underneath the drum to give it 0 ground clearance, it is 25cm in diameter and spans for the full width of the robot, it weighs 8kg
4)The wedge from setup one, but static. This gets the weight down to 100kg and gets around any 100kg for tracks rules.
5)8 x tungsten tipped hardox ramming spikes, 4 in a bottom row and 4 in the top row
6)Vertical Tornado-style disc, spun upwards at 1500rpm by an S28-150 magmotor at 24v
Top Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: Effectively 0 due to wedge and skirts, 8mm behind them
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Red with the name painted on top in green.
Strengths: Interchangeable weaponry, loads of HP
Weaknesses: Tracks exposed from above.

Bio: This version was pretty much the same, but with better motors and interchangeable weaponry. It did well too
Lifespan: April 2008-July 2008
Robots and Vapourbots Defeated: Achilles
Achievements: Semi-finalist/4th place in Crash and Burn: Mini-Tournament of Death
Battle Record: 1-2

Robot Name: Systematical Shockerlarity
Shape: Box wedge with a slightly rounded rear
Weight: 110kg
Length: 80cm
Width: 80m
Height: 30cm
Motivation: 4 x Drill-Zilla style shuffling feet
Drive: 2 x B42-500s at 48v, powered by 8 x NiCad battlepacks
Armour: 5mm hardox all over, but 5mm titanium skirts, there also 4mm titanium arches over the feet, these are 8cm high, so that even if something penetrates them it won’t make contact with the feet
Weaponry:
1)The pushing power
The following weapons are interchangeable:
1)A vertical drum, spun upwards by a LEM-130 at 36v at 3000rpm, made of titanium and spanning the full width of the robot, mounted on the wedge so that it still has 0 GC, produces 25Kj per hit
2)Rear hinged lifting arm, powered by 2 linear actuators, it raises to almost vertical in less than a second, it is built into the robot and hinged at the very back, constructed from 5mm hardox, it reaches down the wedge and bends upwards at the bottom ala Bigger Brother to help get in underneath, and although the arm is narrow running up the body it stretches out and spans the full length of the front wedge
Top Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 0 at front due to wedge, effectively 0 at sides due to skirts and 6mm at rear and behind skirts
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The arm will right the robot in less than a second, but if I want it it to be invertible I will remove the arches
Colour: Yellow arm and light blue bodywork, like System Shock
Strengths: Good pushing power and traction
Weaknesses: No damaging weaponry

Bio: A complete overhaul, this will hopefully build on the success of the tracked robots
Lifespan: July 2008-August 2008
Robots and Vapourbots Defeated; None
Achievements: None
Battle Record: 0-1

SKIPPER

Robot Name: System Shock 4.0
Shape: Box wedge with sloped sides, the front wedge is angled at 60* to flip opponents and the sides are angled at 42* to deflect spinners, the front wedge has a 3cm long extension with a Firestorm-style blade, this extension is angled at 30* to get right in underneath opponents, then ram them so they get flipped by the main 60* wedge, it also has a Tornado style angled rear
Weight: 110kg
Length: 80cm (83cm with wedge extension)
Width: 80cm
Height: 15cm
Motivation: 4 x CNC Alumnium internal, but invertible wheels, they have a v-belt groove in the treads and a v-belt between the wheels so they count as tracks, but if they break the robot is not affected at all and the robot simply becomes a wheeled robot, leaving the tracks behind
Drive: 2 x LEM-200s @ 60v
Batteries: 250 C-Cell NiCad batteries
Armour: 4mm hardox monocoque with up to 7mm in key areas
Weaponry:
1) Drive power
2) At the rear there are two diamond tipped ramming spikes, they are placed either side of the angled rear and can push opponents away or damage weaker armours via high pressure nitrogen at 1000psi from a 2kg bottle sideways in the rear of the robot, they should pierce 3mm titanium and weaker and can get about 16 shots, which should be more than enough
3) The front wedge (and the extension) can lift up and down via an S28-150 at 12v. The wedge is hinged in the middle so it can work both ways up. This front wedge is interchangeable for a vertical tornado style 5kg disc with 2 x tungsten blades like Hypno-Disc's, the disc is spun by an S28-150 at 3000rpm, which it can reach in 1.5 seconds and when at that speed it can deliver a 17.8Kj hit. It is 150mm in diameter, 3cm thick and there is 1.5cm distance of rotattion to the centre of the disc, it is made of titanium/vanadium alloy
Speed: Can be pushed to 28mph, but mostly kept lower for more control (about 17mph)
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front, 10mm the rest of the way around, but that is protected by 5mm titanium hinged skirts at the sides and rear that flop over when the robot is inverted
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Light blue with the name written in yellow on top
Strengths: Speed and Power
Weaknesses: Some people will be cheesed off by this clear exploitation of the weight advantage given to tracks ;D ;D ;D

Bio: A very premature update, mainly because I didn't like Systematical Shockerlarity that much at all, plus I thought of a better name- take the original one and stick 4.0 on the back Its actually a step back in time, much more similar to the original (and most successful) version.
Lifespan: August 2008-Present
