The original Storm was a fun robot to watch. We bought its original hydraulic ram for a couple of years. Its gone now.

I seem to remember seeing the original Storm fighting The Dome once. It won, but The Dome did last longer than it did against Diotoir.

You really shouldnt put spikes on tracks, it just negates the purpose of tracks, a lot of surface area. If you want to improve traction, use rubber strips on the tracklinks or use rubber tracks.

See Trax vs Storm 2 for details, Trax was just sliding all over the place.

ok but wat about the dimension are they ok

[leorcc]

How Could I Improve...

70cm high is quite high (2.3 feet)

[destroyer25]

How Could I Improve...

so the Dimensions in CM should be 1.38m x 0.74m x 0.2.5m

Youre doing a good job Rurak. It took me any weeks to learn much, its taking you much less than that, a few pushes in the right direction will help.

In the mean time, can anyone analyse this, plus think of a better name for me please

F.P FLIP

€ WEIGHT: 100kg.

€ ARMOUR: 3.25mm Hardox monocoque on the front and 5mm Hardox monocoque for the rest, with 6mm Titanium on the base. Inside, 4cm of Vulkanised Rubber is on the front to protect it from shock-killing

€ SHAPE: A low wedge shape, with corners slanted to make the front more pointed.

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM130€™s at 36V = 18HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 6 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 100CM (H) 18CM-16CM (Gets lower) (W) 50CM-35CM (Gets narrower)

€ COLOUR: The body is black, with the name written in black on the silver flipper.

€ WEAPONRY: A C02 powered flipper made from 3.25mm Hardox, and powered a single 1000psi 70mm pneumatic ram, coming from 3 x 1.5kg bottles, giving 50 flips overall. The ram is geared at 4.4:1, so the flipper produces 800kg of force at the tips (can flip 100kg 4ft into the air), and when right underneath, the flipper has 1300kg of force (can flip 100kg 6ft into the air) To help in getting under skirts, a shallow Hardox wedge is added. The flipper can self-right F.P Flip in a 180* flip, but throws itself 1ft backwards and 1.5ft upwards.

€ SPEED: 20mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 8mm all around, except for 0mm at the front, but it also has 6mm Titanium skirts held in place by 4mm Hardox skirts.

€ STRENGTH: Good armour and an awesome weapon.

€ WEAKNESS: Vulnerable to shock-killing from the sides.

Nitro-Gene 6.0

What exactly is other peoples understanding of a moncoque? I assumed it meant that the entire robot is made of one fabrication that serves as the armour and the chassis, and this would rule out having different metals.

[paulc]

Im afriad Im not going to call it Nitro-Gene 6.0, and this is a CO2 flipper, not Nitrogen

And if you can check your forum, ca anyone tell me what they think of the FINAL edition of Nitro, as if 5.0 doesnt work, Ill just stick with 4.0.

By the way Joey, a monocoque is when you build a chassis and then mount the armour and electrics and various bits onto it, thus strengthening the design, so a 5mm Hardox monocoque is stronger than a robot with 5mm Hardox.

Its borderline still, Paul...Id switch it to 7mm titanium armour.
