electric vs pneumatic axes

[mattsdragons]

what are the pros and cons of both electric and pneumatic axes? Since they seem (too me) fairly even

Re: electric vs pneumatic axes

For feathers, with the limitations on moving mass and power transfered, I don't see any advantage to a pneumatic axe.


On the other hand, electric axes have their disadvantages too. In Kashei we have a serieus axe-motor burn-out rate.

Re: electric vs pneumatic axes

im using speed 900's on my axe but thats the only reservation i have that the constant reversing of power may cause the motors life to be shortened

im in the process of owning one

i do like the axe head on the other bot that also acts as a lifter from behind, that may be something i will try and replicate, although im out HW arenas, it might just keep getting stuck

[mattsdragons]

Re: electric vs pneumatic axes

i do really like axe bots and... its not a flipper!

[harry hills]

Re: electric vs pneumatic axes

i have yet to see an axe bot that is

[mattsdragons]

Re: electric vs pneumatic axes
