=__** HEDGEHOG SNAKE HYBIRD BATTLEBOT ! **__=


 * **Method of Destruction:** Hedgehog Snake Hybrid Battlebot
 * The Hedgehog Snake Hybrid Battlebot will use six C40-300 motors (that will be used at 350 amps so that the higher motor mass will decrease the rate of the motor heating) and run on four large atr wheels.
 * It will be 2 feet in length and 2 feet in width.
 * **Offense:** The tongue will function similarly to a snake and be made out of __graphene__, which is a two-dimensional sheet made out of pure carbon that is 200x stronger than steel. This tongue will consistently snake in and out, hitting its opponents with enough force to cause substantial damage until they are either a) destroyed or b) unable to operate because they have holes punctured in them.
 * **Defense:** The body will be made out of __osmium__ so that it will be strong enough to protect the foundation of the hedgehog. The spines, protecting the upper half of the robot, will be made out of __titanium__.


 * Pros:**
 * Offensively, the Hedgehog Snake Hybrid will be able to continuously attack its opponent without fear of getting its tongue cut off. This is because its tongue will be made out of graphene which is both lightweight and strong (200x stronger than steel).
 * Defensively, the Hedgehog Snake Hybrid has a high probability of not being able to be tipped over because it's made out of osmium (which is among the heaviest of metals). The spines, which are made out of titanium, will also add more to the weight of the robot and make it harder to tip over because of the weight.


 * Cons:**
 * The first way that the Hedgehog Snake Hybrid might be able to be stopped offensively is if it attempts to puncture holes through another battlebot that's made of graphene itself. If that were to happen, the Hedgehog Snake Hybrid would attempt to protect itself through its heavy defense (and heavy weight).
 * The second way that the Hedgehog Snake Hybrid might be able to stopped offensively is if the other battlebot has long projectile attacks like bombs or flamethrowers. The only way that my battlebot would be able to protect itself is through its osmium/titanium defensive body.


 * Against Other Battlebots:**
 * **Jennifer's Battlebot:** I'll have to make sure to avoid her four rotating jagged steel blades while trying to attack her with my battlebot's tongue.
 * **My BAWAD Battlebot:** Yoshi! I'll have to make sure to avoid the flamethrower (I have no defense against that, after all) and try to attack its sides.
 * **My Really Cool Battlebot:** I'll have to avoid that high voltage liquid stun gun (it doesn't sound like good news at all to my battlebot) and hope to attack her battlebot with my tongue in any given opportunity.
 * **SINBAD - My Robot of Destruction:** I'll have to do my best to avoid the daggers and the spinning radial disk in order to attack her battlebot.
 * **Tennis, Anyone?:** My battlebot will have to be lucky to avoid the goo, the tennis balls, and the telescopic tube in order to ram into this battlebot with my battlebot's tongue.
 * **The Mace:** My battlebot will have to avoid L-shaped platinum box and attempt to damage the other battlebot as best as it can even though it's made out of graphene.


 * Approximate Cost:**
 * A C40-300 motor is $319.
 * $319 x 6 motors = $1914
 * ATR Wheels = $74.50
 * $37.25 x 4 wheels = $149
 * Graphene is $350 per gram.
 * 28 grams = 1 oz, 16 oz = 1 pound, 28 grams x 50 pounds = 1,400 grams in 50 pounds
 * 1,400 grams x $350 per gram = $490,000
 * Osmium is $400 per troy ounce.
 * 16 oz = 1 pound, 16 oz x 200 pounds = 3,200 oz in 200 pounds
 * 3,200 oz x $400 per troy oz = $1,280,000
 * Titanium is $240 for one pound.
 * $240 x 50 pounds = $12,000
 * Total Cost: $1914 + 149 + 490,000 + 1,280,000 + 12,000 = $1,784,063


 * Document How The Idea For Your Robot Originated:**
 * I originally decided to do just a hedgehog-themed battlebot at first but then switched over to a hedgehog snake hybrid battlebot when I realized I didn't have an adequate method of offensive destruction. So, I researched around for a bit and found the strongest materials and metals known to add to my new battlebot. It all came together after some thinking. I hope it'll do well against the other battlebots! (:<
