DRIVE BATTERIES: 4 x NiMh packs @ 24v in parallel

SPEED: 15mph

TURNING CIRCLE: 0 metres

BODY ARMOUR: 6mm titanium/vanadium alloy

CHASSIS: Steel Ladder

WEAPON 1: The front hinged wedge can be used to get underneath the opposition and ram them around.

WEAPON 2: The rear spiked arm swings over when the robot runs forward to hit opponents, or the bot can spin around to hit other robots horizontally.

SRIMECH: Invertible, works the same both ways up.

STRENGTHS: Pushing power, good front armour

Alterations for the different weight limits:
27kg- 0.5mm thicker extra armour
27.5kg- 1mm extra armour
28kg- 1.5mm extra armour

NOTES: Thwedge was created as a lightweight to enter ARC: Carnage, but when I realised his potential I made an FRA version.

HIT 'EM HARD

BODY SHAPE: Psychotron-style wedge with side wedges as well so the wheels are protected from the front. Works the same inverted. The wedge is hinged on the drive axis and the spikes are hinged on the wedge.

WEIGHT: 25kg (can be altered)

DIMENSIONS (L X W X H): 40cm x 65cm x 9cm

COLOUR: Dark blue bodywork, silver spikes and grey thwacking arm, with the name in yellow on the wedge.

LOCOMOTION: 2 x external wheels with HDPE hubs and vulcanised tyres, 110mm in diameter

GROUND CLEARANCE: 0 at front due to wedge, 1cm behind that and elsewhere

DRIVE MOTORS: 2 x S28-150 magmotors @ 24v

DRIVE BATTERIES: 4 x NiMh packs @ 24v in parallel

SPEED: 20mph average

TURNING CIRCLE: 0 metres

BODY ARMOUR: 6mm titanium/vanadium alloy

CHASSIS: Steel Ladder

WEAPON 1: The front wedge can be used to get underneath the opposition and ram them around.

WEAPON 2: The rear spiked arm swings over when the robot runs forward to hit opponents, or the bot can spin around to hit other robots horizontally. Note that has holes drilled in it to reduce weight and fight spinners.

SRIMECH: Invertible, works the same both ways up.

STRENGTHS: Pushing power, good armour

Alterations for the different weight limits:
27kg- 0.5mm thicker extra armour
27.5kg- 1mm extra armour
28kg- 1.5mm extra armour

NOTES: Hit 'em Hard is Thwedge's new incarnation, also created primarily for ARC, this time Aftermath. It's better than Thwedge in a lot of ways, and the weapon in my opinion is far meatier and more effective this time around.
