heavyweight ram bots?

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

typhoon was 4wd (1 motor per wheel) and had half the robot's weight in the disc. So yes it's entirely possibly to have a 4wd heavyweight and have a weapon too.

How much money do you have for this? Sounds pretty 'pie in the sky'

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

This is all very much theory right now, would be something that I would like to do but I have no idea if I can do it. It was a very faint idea when I posted it and still is all very much up in the air right now

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

Ye, so it is Poe in the sky right now. Will try and look at costing etc and see whats possible. I'll have to get the sizing of toxic and draw up plans from that

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

what would i need to do to get a heavyweight 4wd flipper in the weight limit?

that things would i need to shave off?

There is one in the Netherlands. One that tries to have it all. Hammerhead 3. Hardox 450 1/8 monocoque construction, 4wd on cart-tyres with 2 Mag S28-400 motors , Giant 140mm bore 120mm stroke ram (1 of the 3 made by Kos-Tough As Nails) and 4 kg of CO2 on board.
But alas, the changed rules (no more consumables, meaning the machine is overweight) and changing interests made the roboteer who has build this drop out of sight.

Looking at it, kronic is 4wd and I thing Weird mAlice is so it is enirly possible, and the invertability factor doesn't make that much of a problem. It will run of Bosch 750's, probably slightly over volted but not massively, around 30v with something like a 5:1 reduction

It does seem entirely possible, now it's more then thing of can I make some accurate models etc to see how it could look.

Terry is giving me dimensions of toxic soon a can start from that.

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

what would you say has been the best ram bot - active weapon conversion?

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

Storm II, unequivocally

[mattsdragons]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

I must admit, storm ll is a very good example

whats the bext post Robot wars one?

[team_orr]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

Cant think of that many in recent times, but the one that springs to mind is Toon Raider/and his army

[mattsdragons]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

thats the one that comes to mind for me aswell

[jonny]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

that's the only one i can think of, most bots are built around the weapon

[mattsdragons]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

true, but examples like storm ll and toon raider are out here

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

I have been reading this since it started a few days ago and don't understand quite what you are getting at . Are you planning to run Toxic as a rambot for a while before adding the pneumatics or something?

[mattsdragons]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

Its a possibility for me, it all depends on cash really and how quick I want it in the arena.

I might do all the Maths first an make it 4wd, run it just as a ram bit for a while, in that time getting pneumatic parts, then during one of the summer breaks, add the pneumatic stuff

Or, if I can get the things together in time, run it straight as pneumatic.

My mind seems messy and hectic to others but makes perfect sense too me
