Hector
History
This Bot is Too new to Have a History

Hector is my first ever attempt at a horizontal jaw crusher except of course slammer. Hector however is an entirely different machine to that - the premise of Hector is simple - the largest jaws practical upon a wheeled machine. The jaws hydralics are inside the claws themselves and push off the main body at the back. The bar at the front actually doesn't connect at all but merely protects the wheels and joints of the bot from attacks. The bot is partiually named after the character in the Illiad but also the person who helped me design Tengu early on.

TITLES

3rd in The Wars

STATS


Colour: Silver, grey with golden wheels

Weight: 100kg

Shape: Essentially a cresent with the wheels in a small section in the middle.

Mobility: Two wheels made of 6mm aluminium boron carbide - the motors are inside the wheels but circuitry and batteries are inside the main body.

Speed: 15mph,

Turning circle: 0m

Power: Two mag-motors at 24volts.

Armour: The claws which make up the majority of the bot are 5mm aluminium boron carbide over a sturdy hardox frame - down the last quarter of the length of the claws the frame becomes a solid block of hardox for piercing opponents. The robot itself is 3mm titanium and the large grey plate at the back is 5mm tungsten / aluminium alloy ( ratio of 3:1).

Ground clearance: Quite high all over - varies with position.

Weapons: The two massive claws - they are powered by hydraulics which are inside them and easily capable of crushing armour. The claws are angled up slightly so when crushing it will push the robot up a bit in the air anmd hence loose it traction so it can be pushed. It is designed to be able to stop fullbody spinners in two ways - firstly if it approaches corectly the robot may impale itself on a claw with its own spinning motion, secondly once it has gripped onto the full body spinner it can break the weapon drive by adding 100kg of extra weight onto the drive train snapping it.

As mentioned earlier the bars at the front dont play any role in the crushing they are 2cm thick hardox designed to stop weapons attacking the wheels from the front.

Srimech: Invertible

Strengths: Very powerful weapons, excels at fighting full body spinners, difficult to attack

Weaknesses: Due to nature of weapons it can't fend off multiple opponents well.
