Schumey 3 (UK HW)

For the original Schumey heavyweight robot, see Schumey

Schumey 3, more commonly simply called Schumey and sometimes Schumei, is a heavyweight robot built from its predecessor Schumey Too (with which it is sometimes considered synonymous) and currently owned by Team Busted.

Drive
Schumey 3's two-wheel drive is accountable to a pair of 24V electric motors, one driving each wheel.

Weaponry
Schumey 3 is fitted with a large, shallow, back-hinge lifting scoop. This is powered by low-pressure pneumatics.

Chassis & Armour
Schumey 3's armour consists of steel and polycarbonate.

Other
Unusually for most modern robots, Schumey 3 is neither invertible nor capable of self-righting.

Robot History: Overview
The original Schumey was built in 1998 for Robot Wars: The Second Wars. It was black and coffin-shaped. Whilst unarmed, it boasted a good deal of speed, especially for its time. However, it fell in the trial stage. Schumey Too was built the next year for the next Robot Wars event, armed with lifting forks and a spike. This robot, too, saw little success, falling in its first battle.

Schumey Too was bought by John Findlay of Team Roaming Robots in 2014. He rebuilt and upgraded Schumey Too into its current form with the lifting scoop, but sold the robot on to Team Busted as he didn't have the time or resources to add another heavyweight robot to his fleet. Schumey 3 has not seen many events yet but has proved capable of holding its own, despite being based on an old design.
