How Could I Improve...

I will say that five S28=400s and a hydraulic crusher and titanium that thick would put Bubble Blaster overweight.

And the same place that Tom Roper learned to say:

WTF, Mate?

Another of my odd technical questions:

If I had a three wheel arrangement (two driven via seperate motors at the rear, one castor at the front), would it be feasible to have a setup where I could switch between using car type steering (with the rear wheels moving as one and the front castor doing the actual steering) and tank type steering (with the front castor being passive - I might have to have it made of nylon or something so it didnt create too much friction(would this mess up the steering?))

I was thinking about it, and I thought it might give me the ability to retain control at high speeds while still being able to get out of tight spots.

It would take some work to get right, but sure, it could be done.

Mark, myself, Kody and Martijn have been discussing your case by carrier pigeon, and everyone here knows the mods can ban you at any time, which should be anytime soon

Mark and Kody, I suggest you 2 just ignore each other, its easy to do.

[kodster]

How Could I Improve...

No, Dave. If we ignore him, hell just use the entire forum as his own personal spamming board. Like Timmeh did.

We need to drive him out. :P

[corsair_lightning]

IZZHARD

€ WEIGHT: 100kg.

€ ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox monocoque on the rear, top, front and sides. 4mm Titanium on the base. Inside, I have 4cm of Vulkanised rubber to make sure its good when facing spinners.

€ SHAPE: A low box shape, with sides and rear shaped like prisms. The front is a wedge hindged at 30*, and the corners of the front are cut-off, and also hindged at 30* to make the wedge better at catching robots that attack the front front corners.

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM130€™s at 48V = 24HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (H) 15CM (W) 80CM

€ COLOUR: The body is black with golden edges, and name on top with thck black outlines for each letter

€ WEAPONRY: The weaponry is a C02 flipper with 3 x 1.5kg CO2 tanks and a 100mm ram on a 2.9:1 ratio, allowing me 1200kg on lift at the tip of the flipper wedge. The flipper arm runs along the top of the top of the robot, and is 35cm wide, and 80cm long, and it also has the entire front of the robot connected onto the wedge, so it can flip whatever is on the wedge.

€ SPEED: 20mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0-8mm. The front will always be 0, and the sides and rear are protected by 7mm Titanium skirts on a Hardox rotary joint that joint at the hindges.

€ STRENGTH: Powerful drive motors and an awesome flipper.

€ WEAKNESS: Needs to self-right quickly once inverted, as it€™s not invertible.


POISON

€ WEIGHT: 100kg.

€ ARMOUR: 6mm Hardox monocoque on the rear, top, front and sides. 4mm Titanium on the base. Inside, I have 4cm of Vulkanised rubber to make sure its good when facing spinners.

€ SHAPE: An invertibe reverse wedge shape with a flexible at the reat and front, so that if its flipped, the wedges can still be used

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM130€™s at 48V = 24HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels on top and bottom ala Big Nipper.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (H) 15CM (W) 75CM

€ COLOUR: The body is black with golden edges, and name on top with thck black outlines for each letter. On the back of the robot is a picture of a snakes head, with €˜Poison€™ just above it.

€ WEAPONRY: A pair of horizontal 10mm Ti/V crushing claws with 3.25mm Hardox spiked tips. The power for the crusher comes from 2 Hydraulic rams at 3000psi each, and is geared to produce 9 tons of force at the tips, so it should pierce a great deal.

€ SPEED: 20mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0-8mm. The front will always be 0, and the sides and rear are protected by 7mm Titanium skirts on a Hardox rotary joint that joint at the hindges.

€ STRENGTH: Powerful drive motors and an awesome weapon.

€ WEAKNESS: A more powerful rammer can outpush it.
