You already know how it fares in combat, you saw it in the annihilator....

Sorry to pop in again, but I need some advice on how to construct a walking vapourbot.
By walking, Im not really fussy as by what way, although I must stress that Im not too keen on having a shufflebot.Comment

If you had a system with linear/hydraulic actuators in multiples of two (one for raising/lowering and one for forward/back on each leg), that might work, altrhough itd be veeeeerrryyyyy slllllooooowwwww.Comment

What about if I had a walking-system like Clawed Hopper and Gammatron had? With the two rims that made them skip across the arena? Not sure if you count that as a walker, but it is to me.Comment

Ignore Mark. Any advice on a walker?Comment

The Gammatron system wouldnt count either, as I recall it ran off a continuous rotary motion, and it violates the rule on each leg having multi-axis movement...although obviously its up to the tournament writes what theyll accept.
I think the only true walkers there have been are Mechadon and Miss Struts, out of the ones that have been on TV anyway. I was going to design a walker myself, basically a 200kg hardox brick with no weapons...Comment

What did Arnarchy use? That was effective.
Am I dreaming or did some walkers use linear actuators?Comment

Jeroen, who also made Tough as Nails also made a 6 legged walker with linear actuators. It was very slow though and was never ment for robot combat.
Mechadon from team Sinister is probably the best example of a true walker that is linear actuated.Comment

Ive made some changes to a few of my vapours,
Systematic Shocker previously System Shock
Shape: Invertible box
Weight: 110kg with setups 1, 2 and 3, 100kg with setup 4
Dimensions: 80 x 100 x 30
Motivation: 2 x steel tank tracks
Power: 2 x B42-500 magmotors running at 60v, gives 60HP
Armour: 4mm hardox, skirts are 5mm titanium
Weaponry: Interchangeable:
1)3mm hardox front scoop which can lift 200kg, powered by 1 x LEM-130 at 36v.
2)3mm hardox horizontal spinning disc (50 x 50) powered by 1 x LEM-130 at 36v. Approx. 30Kj hit
3)2 x 30cm long tungsten tipped hardox lifting spikes, powered by 1 x LEM-130 at 36v, can lift up and down to work both ways up.
4)The scoop from setup one, but static. This gets the weight down to 100kg and gets around any 100kg for tracks rules.
Top Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: Effectively 0 due to scoop and skirts, 8mm behind them
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: Invertible
Colour: Red with the name painted on top in green.

Weaponry: Tungsten tipped double-headed hardox axe on a rack and pinion system, powered by co2 at 750psi, can hit robots at the back and front due to it being hinged in the middle and being 60cm in length, also has a 3mm titanium static scoop at the front to get underneath other robots.
Top Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: Effectively 0 at front due to scoop, 8mm behind the scoop and on sides and rear
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The axe will easily right the robot quickly, no matter what position it is at.
Colour: Black, red axe head, name painted in red on the scoop
Strengths: Marital experience, quick Srimech, powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: Base armour is fairly weak, but it is hard to hit anyway as the Srimech is fast.

Top Speed: 25mph
Ground Clearance: Effectively 0 at front and back (flipper and wedge), 8mm on the sides behind the 5mm titanium skirts which make it effectively 0
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The flipper can perform a 540 degree spin, and the sides are rounded to prevent beaching
Colour: Gold
