Only problem I see is that with the flippers not going outwards you could get robots doing an Atomic quite often (driving in the gap)...still, nothing a roll of fabric and some duct tape wouldnt fix :P

I dont think you have to use realistic materials in arenas anyway...the arena in TCC has a floor made of joeyium, which is incredibly light but resistant to anything that can be used as a weapon, up to and including Frank Goacher

*coughinterceptoraboverrobotcoulddowithimprovingco ugh*

Lets see, something that is thick enough to support 100kg robots, and heavier house robots, of course, unless theres something underneath that.

Go for 30+mm plywood, and steel underneath that.

What the hell...?

And thanks Kody

Though if this is the RS!!3 arena, there will be no house robots, as I wish for them not to interefere in my major

Well, when the panel goes up, there is a gap left in the floor, and robots can drive into said gap and look very stupid...you can avert that by taping some fabric in place to stop them...meh, my jokes are getting worse :P
I was trying to nitpick your arena in a humourous way, it looks good, makes a change from the usual squares.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

*dawning comprehension*

I was considering making the floor steel, like the battlebox, are there any differences between making it 30mm plywood with steel underneath and just making it steel?

[joey_picus]

Magnetism possibly...although like I said I dont think thered be any major problems if you just said the floor was invincible.

[Guest]

Yeah, I know I just like it to be realistic

This isnt actually something Im considering for a vapour, but...

What is the point of having a sideways flywheel, like the ones seen on robots like Fatal Traction and the antweight Combatant?

[joey_picus]

How Could I Improve...

I dont think Combatant has one anymore, just to be random :P but I think the only advantage would be taking up less space, youd need it to be very large or very fast to have any effect beyond antweight level.

Did Fatal Tractions weapon even do anything?

[Guest]

No :P

Well flywheels can be very effective, take Warrior SKF for example.

I decided to dump Henry IX and replace it with this, if its not overweight

Is it OK?

[joey_picus]

Its not overweight...its bloody complicated, and the spinner is underpowered and as such the lifter will be somewhere to the left of useless...but its not overweight

One glaring problem is that if its dimensions are 80 long and 80 wide, with the wedge at the front it means your spinning ring is somehow oval.

Generally speaking, the more weapons you have the less powerful each one is. Pick betwene the axe and spinner/flipper combo, and ditch the other.

[Guest]

How Could I Improve...

Yeah, your right Frank and Joey. The lifter was only added as an after thought anyway, and the way I see it it just makes the robot worse.

Thanks
