heavyweight ram bots?

[mattsdragons]

is there a place still for heavyweight ram bots?

basiclly, something not massivly complex but it gets you in the arena in a new weight class and has the potential to be converted to an active weapon also?

im thinking along the lines of 'and his army' as an example which is now 'toon raider'?

There is very much a place for heavyweight ram bots. One of my favourite robots at the 02 wal wilhiems scream. Not necessarily a ram bot but except for the wheel falling off was quite well built. It just used a pair of wheelchair motors so it wasn't really going to push anyone either. It was just for fun which is what we do this for after all.

I thought Wilhelm's scream used a couple of those motors the BattleBots guys use?

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

i didnt think it could be done, was just a consept in my head

[jonny]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

probably could be done it depends on the weight of the other stuff you're using in it. isn't kronic 4wd?

[mattsdragons]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

thinking of it, ye it is, an invertable 4wd merlin style heavyweight, got a load of push and the OOTA factor

[team_orr]

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

why not have 2 motors and have chain drive powering all 4 wheels?
anyway yeah, there is still a place, probably not UK champion material but can be effective if there not massively slow like the original Mythras

Re: heavyweight ram bots?

what was the kind of system i was thinking of, and having a large flipper would be good to get bots out, being invertable if the flipper dont work anf you can run from danger them self right. also, 4wd so you can push other bots to the edge to flip them and can ge a ram bot when the gas has run out
