More buffer = More powerful

The size of the piping would make a difference.

Of course, but more buffer tanks will always make the robot more powerful, regardless of other factors

Many things matter, with 2 burkerts the maximum flowrate you can achieve is 4400 l/min.

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

Of course, but still the amount of buffers will hugely affect the power

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

yep, it's looking to be a very powerful machine! have you kept the valves on the fire extinguishers? how are you keeping them open?

you don't need more buffer than 3 times the volume of the ram, its all about flow and the thing what is restricting the flow there are the burkerts has they only have a 4-5mm hole going through them, you already have 12mm ID pipes going to it so bigger pipes won't help, also the fitting on your buffer will have a small ID so a fitting with a bigger ID would be better

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

More buffers always help, the biggest benefit is stopping the system getting cold, therfore keeping your gas pressure up. If you look at IA5/6 they only use 2kg gas, and i don'y think i've seen them run out of gas, where as Kronic runs 4kg (with the same sized ram as IA6) yet runs out alot quicker due to liquid getting thorugh the system etc.
FYI Kronic only has 2 burkets as inlets (one is those is even a cheap knock-off) and i have more than enough flow.

OMG this is one hugely scary flipper! :shock: Can't wait to see it for the first time. Will it be coming to Worthing (if you get it finished in time)?

Yes, if

Nah, we're on track at the moment, it should be finished by September

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

looking real good... does it weelie that much with the flipper arm on?

Nope, just tried it

As a comparison, it wheelies about as much as Ripper does with the arm on

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

ha ha nice to know your comparing it to Ripper

Ripper does wheelie, after i built it i was going to put a wheelie bar on the back but decided it looked cool to be able to wheelie !!

Looking good adrian !!
