VERTIGO
BODY SHAPE: Box with 60* wedge at front and angled rear ala Tornado. The sides are sloped at 45*
WEIGHT: 100kg
DIMENSIONS (L X W X H): 80cm x 75cm x 20cm
COLOUR: See CAD
LOCOMOTION: 4 x internal wheels, made of aluminium with unrethane tyres. Each is exposed from the top and bottom and is 22cm in diameter
GROUND CLEARANCE: 0 at the wedge, 8mm at sides and 10mm at rear
DRIVE MOTORS: 2 x A28-400 magmotors @ 24v
DRIVE BATTERIES: 4 packs of 7 M1 A123 Li-Ion cells
SPEED: 18mph
TURNING CIRCLE: 0 metres
BODY ARMOUR: 4mm hardox monocoque, flipper/top panel is
6mm.
CHASSIS: 4mm hardox monocoque. The removable panel is the top one.
WEAPONRY: The whole top panel is a full pressure flipper, powered by a 100mm ram @ 725psi from a 3kg co2 bottle, providing plenty of flips and a lot of power, similar power in fact to the modern Kronic the Wedgehog.
SRIMECH: The robot is invertible, but the flipper can be used to right it if needs be.
STRENGTHS: Powerful weaponry, tough armour
THEME SONG: Bodies by Drowning Pool
NOTES: Another robot designed primarily with ARC in mind, Vertigo was built to take advantage of the weapon/armour rule there, which would allow Vertigo to have a high powered flipper and very tough armour while not sacrificing much in terms of drive power. It surpassed all expectations, reaching the semi-finals and only losing to eventual champion Tank there. Again, thanks to Area51Escapee for this CAD
