The Mighty Seraphim

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

Hi Craig

I have just measured the height and with the body horizontal the gap is 140mm You can see the gap quite well when Tron is placed underneath the wheels for scale Tron has 75mm blue wheels fitted. When the sword drags along the ground the front lifts to give a maximum clearance of 240mm. the robot should climb over most other robots in the Featherweight circuit at the moment.
I hope soon we will see more adventurous designs from other roboteers on the future.

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

Ok Craig

Lets see your designs for the Saint Catcher

Let€™s make some wacky designs for this weight class. How about some walkers or a hovercraft with an axe!!!

Post all designs here

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

I could come up with some if you really would like to see ...

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

How wide is Seraphim? I'm sure Carcinus's claws could grab onto your wheels and make a saintly Seraphim catcher
Just need to actually make the claws strong enough to cope in the arena XD

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

Answer 600mm
the track on Seraphim(13.6Kg ) is 10mm wider than Saint (96Kg)

So I don't think so but you can always try!!


Come on lets see those designs to stop the MIGHTY SERAPHIM

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

Nah that's cool, Carcinus' claw capacity at its most open is 700mm-800mm

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

Really I am surprised how high off the floor do they grip? You can hold my wheels while I thrash you with the sword!!

[RogueTwoRobots]

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

To be truthful, they're not very high off the floor, maybe about 60mm? I'd be aiming to grab through the holes between the spokes
However, as you've said, if I grab your wheels you're free to whack away with your sword!

[craig_colliass]

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

In truth the wheels are very floppy so as soon as you grab them they will tend to spring free, if you could get the arms through the spokes then you would line your robot up perfectly for a quick lesson in sword fighting

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

Hehe, indeed! Either way it would be an entertaining battle, and can hopefully take place in an arena soon

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

dont the wheels need to move for the sword to come over?

my crusher might cave a good go, its VERY VERY VERY long and has a razer style beak with behemoth like plow, so i can get under you and clamp and pit

failing thati could just oota you with the new flipper bot, or hack you to bits with prodigys axe :P

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

If the wheels are held in place (say, by the claws) then if the motors try to turn the wheels there will be no driving movement. Using a 'path of least resistance'....err...thingy, since the motors can't turn the wheels, the next easiest thing to move is the body, so it will swing over when the motors are powered up.

EDIT: Analogy is the word I think I'm looking for.....'path of least resistance' analogy

Re: The Mighty Seraphim

With the Old Seraphim (that ran at Swindon) I had all the flippers try to do something but most could hardly get that height the ones that did reach the underside of the Seraphim just about knocked it up on one wheel for about 1 second then Seraphim just drove over it!!!
The pushers are all too low and Seraphim drove over them too. The only robot that would have any effect on Seraphim other than spinners would be Little Hitter. But I am happy to exchange blows with that one anyday.
