Mute
Width - 620mm
Length - 950mm (including Rear spikes at approx 100mm long)
Height - 220mm

Inside we have 4 rams, 2 off 2kg gas bottles, full high pressure system and at the moment were still under weight.
Weve always preached smaller is better, even from the first time we turned up at Debenham 3 years ago, everyone thought it was a middle weight.

Steve, TAN is not so big as you think. 2 hollow boxes, joined with massive hinges.Thats about it.And it looks big, as that is the weaponpart.
But the powerpart of the robot can be fitted in StormII,except the disposable wheels.
But remove the second reduction of the gearbox, and fit 150mm wheels,and you still fly around,making the powerpart even smaller.

Mario - can I ask what TaNs widest reach is? (i.e. what would be the largest diameter of cylindrical robot which would fit in the jaws at their most open).

Since nobodys said, can I presume there is no current official size limit (unless the event organizer says otherwise)? Im entirely on board with the small-and-well-armoured theory (give or take the air-as-armour alternative), but Im asking on the grounds of large weaponry, like TaN. And also so the next person who wants to make something mythical out of fibreglass has the answer. :-)

The last time I messured it would be about 96cm between the jaws.
But we have seen that wider robots fit also.Just ram hard enough.
