Vapourbot Resource - Archangel of the Abyss

Angel of the Abyss was one of my biggest success stories as far as vapourbots are concerned, it went straight from being new to achieving titles, reaching the semi finals of two of its first tournaments. It also was voted the most feared vapourbot in the Wars of Fury and its most disappointing showing was its debut in the PTT where it had the misfortune of meeting MDU in the second round. The premise of aota was simple a 2 layered full body spinner on legs, the first layer being the primary attack layer, heavier and more powerful where as the upper layer was lighter and used to keep opponents away til the lower was spinning. Archangle however is much improved, and the changes that have been made try to fix the flaws of the original.

STATS
Colour: silver and dark metallic purple Weight: 150kg Shape: a two layered full body spinner, the upper ring overlaps the lower so is only about 10cm of lower ring exposed now, meaning the upper ring can hit lower targets. Mobility: A 'cheeky boy' (which is essentially a number of parrallel pendulems, the feet of which move in a vaguely elliptical shape so that there are always enough on the floor to be very stable. walking system for stability powered by 4 x C40-500 Magmotors on 36v. The are made of titanium, bars with a thickness of 7mm and are enclosed entirely within the shell of the robot. The feet are the same pendulem-blades as before with a textured rubber grip to provide some extra traction. The outer shell of the robot is supported on a number of castors to take the weight off the legs. Speed: 12mph Turning circle: 0m Armour: As a ring spinner the lower ring is made of 5mm hardox, the upper of 5mm titanium and the rest is generally 25mm polycarbonate excepting the chassis, which is alumnium and the scrimech ontop which is 7mm titanium. Ground clearance: 40mm under skirt (which is attached to base) skirt is the same foam skirt as tengu Weapons: A two layered full body spinner, the upper layer spins up completly at 1000rpm with a practically instantanious spin up time, this defends the robot while the much more powerful lower flywheel gets up to a speed of between 1500 and 2500rpm depending on tourny rules. The lower ring has two 5kg hardox blades, (in addition to it's 25kg mass) each being 7cm long, while the upper flywheel is slightly broader (and infact overlaps the lower flywheel (and weights closer to 18kg)) so that the blades will hit something before the lower as if the lower hit it would prevent it reaching speed. The upper blades extend about 2cm in total further than the lower. Srimech: A tengu like bar is the replacement for the heavy prongs which self righted it before, powered by linear actuators and pivoted at one side. Strengths: Very destructive, difficult to attack. 360 degree attacking. Weaknesses: Not many, but large width can make it a little difficult to do precision steering with. Traction is relativly low. MODIFICATIONS FOR 200KG LIMIT 1) The lower flywheel is now powered by 2 magmotors working in unison. its speed remains the same however. . 2) The lower flywheel has a tengu style anti spinner ring. 3) Armour is 60% thicker and everythign is more heavily shockproofed.
