Re: team combat penguin build diarys

Do other bots sit on the front ok? Seems like there is a lot of space that they can get in behind/beside the flipper/ Maybe a Ripper style wedge would be good on the front?

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

plan is to be driving while lifting so they kind of go up and over or just be tipped

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

also looking for name suggestions

How about Raging Penguin?

mines a high pressure system with a 70mm bore 200mm stroke ram ... and with a 4.5kg main tank and 2kg buffer, a lot of flips

Heres the big quesion; Classic (Chaos 2, Pressure, M2) or Gravity (IA6, Ripper, Kronic) setup?

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

Due to it being so compact I'm going for a classic set up

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

looks nice, how much lifting power has it got?

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

well, started work on the dove from above today, making the led powerlight is proving very fun!

what do you think of it?

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

my drive setup so far:




ingnoring my own ideas already, will set aside some money for getting a disc made for me, hopefully around £120

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

Looking good, but if I'm not mistaken, you would get better hits with less teeth. With just 2, or even 1, all of the weight of the disc gets rammed into one blow. If you have 4, say, you would probably lock onto a robot comfortably but the blows would be spread out over 4 teeth. I mean, you get more energy into one impact with less teeth than you do with more, which is why more teeth are used on cutting weapons, as you get a slicing action as against to a SMASH HUGE EXPLOSION type action with few teeth.

Of course, maybe you want to slice and not demolish, in which case you want more than 4 teeth.

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

the disc needs a bit more work, it was just stuck on so i could see what it looked like

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

ditch the 4wd and use a bigger disk

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

decided on the name 'Altus' for grim reaper

How many spinners are there that exist with only 1 tooth? I know Professor Chaos has only one tooth

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

savage evo ( a robot of similar design). grinded off a bit of rust today from grim reaper feather thing and altus, didn't do much as tired and the novelty off sparks soon wore off
