That the self-righting mech need some work or that wrap it up?

I meant to say is does the self righting mech need some work or does that wrap thing up? and it looks great. Seriously the editing function in this forum need to work.

Can some people evaluate these improvements of my old robots.


MeCANNIBAL 2.0

€ WEIGHT: 110kg (Shuffler)

€ ARMOUR: 3.5MM Titanium on top and bottom.

€ SHAPE: Invertible low cylinder

€ MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 2 x Shuffling pads

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (W) 80CM (H) 20CM

€ COLOUR: Black with scary human face with over sized teeth coloured red.

€ WEAPONRY: Ring spinner, made of 8MM Harox, weighing 30KG, powered by 2 x LEM130€™s at 36V to give it spinning speed of 3000RPM and producing 195KJ per blow with a spin-up time of 3.5 seconds. It 2 big teeth made of Hardox that curve out. The teeth are inserted into the body and have rows of Tool Steel spikes on the teeth to dig in. These teeth 5kg each and are designed to send all the spinning energy into one spot rather than small amount into multiple spots. It also has 5 Inches worth of Titanium shock-proof Foam to stop it self-destructing.

€ SPEED: 15MPH

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-8MM. It has a full-bodied 5mm Titanium skirt running completely along the ground that rises when the shell is spinning, but drops when the shell isn€™t spinning. This is powered by a simple 750w Bosch 36V motor and runs at the same time as the spinner.

€ STRENGTH: Scary name and weapon

€ WEAKNESS: Hard to control

NITRO-GENE 4.0

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 6mm Hardox for the body. 7mm Hardox flipper.

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with pointed sides and rear. At the front is a Storm 2 style wedge to end in getting underneath other robots.

€ MOTORS: 4 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 36HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 80CM (H) 15CM (W) 60CM

€ COLOUR: Black all over with the flipper coloured red.

€ WEAPONRY: A full pressure Nitrogen powered flipper at 1000psi, using a single 80mm ram at 1000psi. The flipper is mounted in the middle of the robot, and is 20cm wide and runs 30cm up the body. Using a 3cm long Titanium strip underneath the flipper, and a heavy flipping arm, the flipper runs completely along the ground. Running on a ratio 2.8:1, the flipper produces 1800kg of force at the tips, allowing me to launch anyone away! This version has 3 x 3kg Nitrogen bottles, giving me 30 flips!

€ SPEED: 22mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-2CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the sides/rear, its 2cm. The orginal weakness of Nitro-Gene (its high ground clearance) has been seen to by the skirts on the sides/rear. They are 4mm Hardox skirts and are joined together like BioHazard - at the corners. To avoid them breaking off, they are held in place by Hardox hinges.

€ STRENGTH: Pushing power and weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: High speed may mean difficult driving

AUTOISM 2.0

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 5mm Monocque Hardox on front, rear and top. 4mm Aluminium Boron Carbide for the Sides and Base.

€ SHAPE: Box with Pointed (Triangular) Sides and Rear to lower spinner Effectiveness.

€ MOTORS: 2 x Lem130 at 36V = 18HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 x Vulkaon treaded wheels on top and bottom ala Big Nipper.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 75CM (W) 70CM (H) 25CM

€ COLOUR: Black for the body, Silver for the crushing weapon. Now, on top, it has the name €˜AUTOISM€™ written in silver.

€ WEAPONRY: The weapon for this is still a Big Nipper style crushing/lifting arm, but instead of claws to lift with, it has a pair of pliars to lift and crush with. The pair of 3.25mm Hardox pliars works on the same system as the lifter as the pliars are part of the lifter to avoid being torn out by spinners. The weapon lifts and crushes with a force of 9 Tonnes, using a Razer-like mechanism for lifting and crushing! The new crushing weapon means that if flipped, the robot doesnt need to self-right. The bottom part of the jaw is wider than before, to allow for more grip on the opponent

€ SPEED: 13MPH

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM - 8MM. 4MM Hardox sprung skirts on the sides and rear make it a nightmare to get under.

€ STRENGTH: Power and Weapons make it a tough machine

€ WEAKNESS: Weak side armour.

And also, can you check my new machine Worck out for faults or good points?

WORCK

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox for the body and flipper. 6mm Hardox for the scoop. There are wedges on the sides and rear of Worck made of 3.25mm Hardox.

€ SHAPE: A low wedge shape.

€ MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 70CM (H) 13CM (W) 70CM

€ COLOUR: Black for the flipper and barbs, white for the body.

€ WEAPONRY: A forward hindged flipper, running on a single 1000psi ram running on CO2. The gas is contained in 2 x 5kg bottles, giving me 40 flips per fight, and the gearing on the ram 3:1 means we have 1300kg of flipping force! That should mean on a forward hindged flipper that I can flip almost everything OOTA.

€ SPEED: 13mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: The wedges make the ground clearance effectively zero, but underneath the wedges is 5mm of clearance.

€ STRENGTH: Near impossible to get under.

€ WEAKNESS: Low speeds.

Ill leave the improved ones for people infinitely more qualified than I to evaluate.

As for Worck, trying to cram 2 5kg CO2 tanks in a machine which is at its maximum 5 inches high could be interesting, and Im not entirely sure what you mean by gearing on a flipper. Otherwise, it looks pretty good to me

Is everything below 14mph really considered slow these days?

[pcbore]

How Could I Improve...

Someone correct me if Im wrong, but I dont believe Co2 can be any higher than 750 Psi. You need Nitrogen if you want to reach 1000.

[bartmanhomer]

How Could I Improve...

I think Im qualified. Right?

Would this robot be possible?

I think the armours a concern Joey. Hardox is overkill for a lightweight, and that Plywood wouldnt hold up long. Make it Ti all over, that should give protection against lightweight damagers and still keep it in weight.

leo you are good at that.
