Youve had the same problems as me with the size of the ram and gone for a different (but effective) solution.

How well can it self right from being on its side?

dunno yet, as the wheels stick out it can drive round on its side which may either throw it on top or onto wheels. Ill find out when i try! Ive got a couple of ideas to help get it off if it gets stuck.

Also note that the flipper wasnt at 10bar in video, it was only running about 8.5bar.

Im going for a front hinged flipper with the ram static and laid flat in the base. That should make self righting fairly easy and keep it contact. Being low means I have to decide what to do with the large wheels.

The problem we will both have is in spreading out the armour thinly over a large area, making us vulnerable to those damn spinners.

looks good carl, dont worry about cosford, blazer will be running as a Featherweight house robot. The full armour probably wouldnt be finished for then anyway.

it a shame, i was looking forward in battling you Alan, maybe at the FRA championships or a local event. the reason for pulling out is because we have a Wing feild Parade (Gary will know about this) in our Beds and Cambs wing, sorry :sad:

that would be good for us alan, weve got our disc ballenced and we ran it a full rpm, sweeeeeeet! and the blade we were taken would of trashed your bot but we wouldnt do that cos im not that nasty, much!! (only joking)The blade was a 8kg blade with 2 blunt teeth on it

It has now been proven (almost, just need conformation from Carl himself ) that Carl is a vapourboteer.

From certain sources, I have found out that Carl had no plans on entering the FRA championships, and from what I heard Carl NEVER had an intention to properly enter RAF cosford.

Carl... give it up... stop lying...
