1: Theres a rule against double posting. How do you think TRIPLE posting is going to be taken? The non-edit rule takes place after 10 minutes, you know.

2: You should have included the psi BEFORE putting in the stats.

Minesweeper: Nothing really wrong with it, I am guessing the scoop is like the one on behemoth which is a good idea. The only remark I have there, is why not make the entire robot of the same armour? give it 4 or 6 mm Hardox all round instead of that mish-mash of various types of armour. In real life we want to keep the amount of materials down as well, from a maintenance and repair point of view.

Roveress: make it a little bit wider, like 70cm, and I think it is in good shape. For the srimech a lem130 is way overkill though, just make the robots top a bit rounded so it rolls over easily and use a Bosh with a gearbox to power the arm, it saves on batterypower and is much more sensible.

Cyrilium Mach 3 : Make the robot higher. There is no way in those dimensions that you can fit 2 2kg bottles, pneumatics, lifter and axe mechanism, and 4 magmotors and batteries.

I must say your stats are improving though, keep it up.

Thanks Leo.

Weight: 100kg
Shape: Tornado (S5)
Colour: Silver, with MINESWEEPER written on the sides in white.
Dimensions: 90cm x 85cm x 25cm
Drive: 4x Bosch 750 motors, powered by 5x 36V NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 4 Titanium/Vanadium alloy wheels with Vulkanized rubber tyres.
Armour: 6mm Hardox
Speed: 16mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and back due to scoops.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon: 2 snowplow-like scoops that can move slightly vertically, so I get good pushing power, but 0mm ground clearance at front and back.
Srimech: Invertible

Roveress
Weight: 100kg

Drive: 4x S28-400 Magmotors, powered by 5x NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 4 foam filled wheels.
Armour: 7mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy.
Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, and 9mm everywhere else.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon: The bottom Jaw Is fixed to the ground, and shaped like a wedge. Once a robot is stuck on the wedge, which has Mute-style barbs on it, the top Jaw, powered by a 2kg 1000psi Nitrogen tank, comes down with over 5 tonnes of force.
Srimech: A lifting arm, built into the back of the robot, powered by a Bosch drill motor.


Cyrilium Mach 3

Armour: 5mm Hardox
Speed: 21mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, and 5mm everywhere else.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon 1: A diamond tipped pneumatic axe, powered by a 220psi 2kg C02 tank. it can poke holes in 3mm Titanium, and actually scratch 5mm titanium.
Weapon 2: A flipping arm, powered by another 2kg C02 tank at 750psi. It can lift up to 500kg.
Srimech: The flipping arm.

For axe power, it might be better/more technical to give tip force than estimates of what it can do, although having said that I dont usually bother.

Otherwise, as much as it pains me to say this, those are actually fairly good

Wha...

The world is collapsing. Mark Elam just made good vapourbots.

*faints*

[corsair_lightning]

How Could I Improve...

Cyriliums axe can come down with over 2500kgs of force.

[kodster]

How Could I Improve...

No it cant.

[joey_picus]

How Could I Improve...

In all fairness, it probably could, but Mark hasnt given the mechanism or anything so we dont know.

[kodster]

Beta could hardly manage 3000kgs, and it doesnt have a flipper.

Great! Mark had put himself among the great ast last...and then he plunged straight back down again!

[joey_picus]

Hmm...I was more thinking that Gravity (3) had 4ish tons of lifting force with its only weapon, and if you consider an axe with another weapon, disregarding questions of armour and other weight constraints, and taking into account the fact that the force will be concentrated on a very small area...two and a half tons begins to look possible. Perhaps not in Marks design, thatd be a lot of dedication to the weapon, but its possible.

That concludes my useless mystic naive post of the day :P

And Beta needs a steel floor arena to pull that stunt off with magnets.

2,5 Tonnes is way too much. My real robots with axes had between 450kg and 1000kg of force, the best so far Obsidian with 800kg but it is going to 1000kg probably next week. Then its in THz territory, although probably not as effective. But even on 800kg piercing 3mm Ti should be very doable, depending on the axe shape.
