Yes, they did.

When Gravity was flipping Dead Metal it was obvious most of the power was gone. Not surprising though, since he flipped Lightening several times, and high, and hard. after it flipped shunt, you could see the flips are stil powerfull, but on the curve going down.

But on the whole, it still takes numerous flips before gravity cant flip anymore. I believe Mario told me Gravity is still able to selfright on 10 bar.

I didnt, but it isnt impossible, with 10 bar the 100mm ram still delivers 785 kg of trust for 180 mm.

being really broad here but what is the general price of hardox? ($ per unit of area)

[Guest]

Hardox

No idea about the price in England, but it costs about £1 per kilo here in Sweden.

Hardox

£1 per KG. I could live with that

Its amazingly cheap, isnt it?

The power going down after so many flips wasnt due to running out of Co2. Just running that much co2 whit that many leaks on board that fast into that big a ram, certainly cools down the lot... Most of the power loss was due to temperature changes. Tip to other builders : get the co2 out of your robot as fast as possible...

I cant find anyone who stocks Hardox or Weldox in Australia. Bisaloy (sp?) only comes in 5mm thick sheets.
