Assegai
Weight - 100kg
Dimension - H-25cm x L-80cm x W-65cm
Speed - 18.5mph
Shape - Box with complete hole missing from the front to the back
Ground Clearance - 5mm
Turning Circle - 0
Armour - 7mm titanium all over
Locomotion - 4 x 250mm wet go-kart tyres
Batteries - 8 x 24V 3.3ah NiMh battlepacks
Motors - 4 x s28-150 Magmotors running at 24V, giving 11.6BHp
Weapons - The weapon is a new one and relies entirely on the force of gravity, yet can probably be considered an offensive weapon. The idea is that 12 cables, made from plaited strands of wire sit at the front middle and back of the central hole, both on the top of the hole and the bottom. Thse cables each weight 0.5kg. These cables support a 16.5kg solid steel bar, 80cm in length. The idea is that as the robot moves forward the momentum and acceleration will pull the rod backwards with the support of the cabless. When it makes contact with an opponent, the momentum is stopped and the rod will swing forwards. This essentially results in a double impact, first from the robot itself, and then from the rod, which is essentially makes it a full body rammer with added oomph. The cables are slightly too long to take the rod to the centre, which means that the bottom ones always hang looser. This is designed to allow extra support, whilst still being able to use the weapon when inverted. The weapon will work whether driving forwards or in reverse. The force of impacts will probably create nothing more than dents on a superficial level but the impacts themselves should create shock damage, and will also be ideal for beating robots out the way and into the pit. The tactic will always be to drive in and out constantly and hit as hard as possible.
Srimech - Invertible
Strengths - Weapon will always hit no matter what happens. Good speed and psuhing power.
Weaknesses - May be difficult to control. No superficially damaging weaponry.
