Hello page browsers :)

My BAWAD (Big Audacious Wild Awesome Dream) bot is a Yoshi robot. The outer covering for my robot will be made out of the metal, Inconel 625. There will be 4 Heelys wheels to move around. It will also be two-wheel drive. The battery used to control my robot will be a 12 Volt. Its method of destruction is a flamethrower. There will be three tanks located in the stomach of Yoshi. Two of the tanks will have oil-based liquid fuel. The third tank will contain butane-compressed gas. The third tank connects to the other two tanks by two pressurized tubes. In the head will be the nozzle of the flamethrower. The compressed gas inside the tank will force the fuel up the tubes inside the neck of Yoshi to the head. There will also be a motor to push the ignition trigger to open the ignition valve. The flammable gas flows from the tank up the tubes, which are ignited by the two spark plugs. There will also be another motor to press the fuel release trigger, which will then create the flamethrower. The defense mechanism is Yoshi’s tail on its posterior end. It will be made purely of Inconel 625. The tail will be a spike that can damage other robots that ram into it. There will be 4 motors in all; 2 motors to control the wheels and 2 motors for the flamethrower triggers. The motor I decided to use was the S28-400.

No one can hate on Yoshi. (: The Heelys wheels will be able to spin quickly. The battery allows for quick movement. The flamethrower is a very lethal weapon that can raise the temperature of metal and melt it. The spike at the opposite end of the flamethrower allows for two-sided combat. Inconel 625 is used for aerospace industry and can withstand strengths of 220,000 psi. The S28-400 is 83% efficient and has 4.5 horsepower.
 * Pros:**

Heelys wheels have a limited turning radius. Once the flamethrower runs out of fuel or butane, it will no longer be able to function. Does not have protection against physical attacks to the sides. Yoshi has a large surface area to volume ratio so it will result in more metal to weigh it down and result in going slower.
 * Cons:**

Cost of fuel: $75 per barrel 42 gallons per barrel Needed amount: 5 gallons Total price: $8.93
 * Approximate Costs:**

Cost of butane gas: $96 per 100lb cylinder Needed amount: ??? Total price: .96(x lbs)

Cost of batteries for flamethrower: $160 Needed amount: 2 batteries Total price: $320

Cost of flamethrower: $500,000

Cost of Inconel 625: $8 per lb Needed amount: ??? Total price: 8(x lbs)

Cost of batteries for robot: $60 Needed amount: 1 Total price: $60

Cost of motor: $359 Needed amount: 6 Total price: $1,436

Cost of wheels: $20 per pair Needed amount: 2 pairs Total price: $40

I chose my robot to be a Yoshi because Yoshi is very cute. ^_^ I wanted to do an electromagnetic pulse as my method of destruction, but was not able to. So I decided on a flamethrower because it would look cool coming from inside Yoshi’s mouth.
