Name – Liar
Shape – A bit like a non-invertible Wheely Big Cheese, it has a fairly wide wheel-to-wheel base at the back, while the front is a much smaller (and pretty long) wedge, the front of the wedge has to “side wedges” as can be seen on the pic
Weight – 100 Kilogram
Speed – 29 km/h (18mph)
Dimensions – 120x60x30 cm
Ground Clearance – 0 mm at the front and underneath “side-wedges”, 7 mm anywhere else
Power – 2 S28-400 Magmotors at 24 volt
Movement – 2 inner wheels, 15 cm in diameter
Turning Circle - Zero
Weaponry – The wedge contains a 1000 psi titanium rear-hinged flipper (basically the red parts of the picture), powered by two pneumatic rams. It should be able to give a 100 kg robot a height of some meters. As can be seen in the picture, the flipper has two “side-wedges”. I have added them since I saw that flippers tend to be quite weak when attacked at the back. When Liar is attacked at the back, he simply does the same as Stinger does when he goes into flail mode. By doing so, the side wedge will ram into the opponent and shove underneath it. That way I can use my flipper and get it on his back. Although this flip will not be as powerful as a frontal flip, it will be a flip nonetheless, and it will help me get rid of any threats that approach me from the back.
Armour – 8 mm titanium all around
Srimech – That flipper
Strenghts – Powerful and maneuverable flipper
Weakness – Won’t be pushing much, won’t be damaging much either
