          That monster is a Gravity equivalent.... a heavyweight ram, consuming at least 65L of CO2 in 1 go.

          A 600gram bottle contains 307L at best. 4 actions... have fun. Also, I have a difficult time to contain the force of Hannibalito II (at the moment II.3) . And that ram is a few times smaller.

                    I can see the future, I see a robot that needs a crash diet.

                    I thought we had it bad, no armour and no flipperarm yet on Hannibalito 2 after its modification and also 8 kg. But you are even worse off.

                    Still, I like the shape and its compact layout. I look forward to flipping it.

                      I suspect that Ill have little weight left for armour .....maybe 1.5 - 2kgs.

                      Approx 1kg each for the battery and ram.

                      The battery will slide up inside the middle leg of the T formed by the Ali channel main chassis.....The ram will angle back towards the 3 port F.P. Valve , between and following the line of the flipper legs.
                      The speed control , switch etc lives inside the rear channel.

                        started on the sides of psycho ram yesterday, what a disaster! didnt fit very fustrating but today a much better day top and sides attached to base and each other and ive thought of a new side design.

                        bad thing though was i was building in the rain, ducking and diving from my shed to house :sad:

                        hopefully should have more pics tomorrow and it should be ready for space centre....i hope

                          well all the armour done, dont know how long itll last though!

                          pics on the website, just wondered people opinions about the design how it looks etc, and also where i should put the metal ram bit high up or low down? both pics on there

                            If you put it low down, the metal ram bit will combine quite effectively with the vertical front part of Psycho Ram. For example, the metal wedge will lift the other robots off the ground and the vertical front bit will stop them from going straight over the top of you - that way youll be free to push them around

                              Just made a video of my featherweight hoovas first experience. Hoova was origanly built for my gf but I ended up taking it to guildford to be trashed. However no matter how many times it flew, its rubbish plastic armour would not break. I was expecting to be rebuilding it out of polycarb right about now but its still good enough to take to more events.

                              Long live hoova!
