Weight: 100kg Shape: A sloped box
that is wedged at the front- the robot is far lower to the ground than all
previous incarnations, and the front is less steep as a result making it
easier to get under a foe. The front end is now also curved to allow
better resistance to weapons. As always, the back is rounded allowing the
srimech to 'roll' it over more easily. The sides are now also very
slightly sloped inwards at the top. The volume of the robot is about a
quarter smaller. Wheels: Four internal cast aluminium
wheels (similar to tornado's Go Cart wheels in design but only 40mm wide)
and using treaded go-kart style tyres of appropriate diameters. They are
run off a tornado-esque skid steer system. Motors: 2x
Eteks at 48v Speed: 18mph Turning
circle: 0m Armour: 5mm titanium and on top
10mm of polyurethane rubber to stop axes and crushers The flipper and
front armour is a hardox frame (4mm) and the spatula is titanium. The
internal rams are mounted onto a hardox crossbar but otherwise the top of
the flipper it is now armoured with 10mm polycarbonate and the
aforementioned rubber. The chassis is also titanium and the side and rear
armour is slotted into grooves on the chassis and then welded making it
very difficult to remove the side panels. Ground
clearance: At the front, the flipper spatula essentially gives it
a 0 ground clearance, at the sides it would be 5mm but is protected by a
3mm stainless steel skirt Weapons: The weapon is a
rear pivoted lifting arm, this has two set-ups, plus a small extra mounted
weapon for either. To get under the opponent it has a Bigger Brother style
lifting plate that runs parallel to the ground resting upon it that gives
the machine a really low ground clearance enabling it to get under most
things, the front edge of the plate has been filed to a sharp edge.
Set-up 1: Hydraulics Uses a single hydraulic lifting arm to
life opponents of up to 150 kg into the air and tip over up to 400kg. Uses
a 120mm bore ram with 40mm stroke and powered using a Vivoil pump On
top of the lifter is a hook mechanism that looks like a tiny claw but
performs the same gripping effect as the top mounted behemoth axe. It is
not particularly sharp, as it is not designed to cause damage, just to
grip the opponent it is powered by a small linear actuator.
Set-up 2: Pneumatics The second set up is a high-powered
pneumatics set-up with a single canister of C02 running at 1000psi
providing the power. The addition to this set-up is a small T-shaped bar
powered by an actuator which pivots towards the back, enabling Achilles to
self right without using up any gas. In emergencies both srimech options
can be fired simultaniously for a short 'hop'.
Strengths: Very durable, no particular weaknesses for
opponent to exploit. Weaknesses: No damaging
weapons.
