Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls

Well, Im running plans to see what I can do to make Nitro-Gene 4.0 in weight, but incase I forget, (as is my reputation :wink, Ill enter a robot I already know is inside the weight limit:

TRI-TAINIUM

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox for the back/scoop. The top and bottom panels are 5mm Titanium and the sloped sides are 6mm Hardox to sheild the wheels.

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with a front scoop (the scoop has a slight dip in it to help get under other robots better) and sloped sides.

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 18HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 60CM (H) 20CM (W) 60CM

€ COLOUR: Unpainted, with the exception of the name on top written in black paint.

€ WEAPONRY: The weaponry consists of 3 x 9kg discs, made out of 1cm of Titanium with 3 Hardox bludgening teeth. The discs are set on the same axle, and amounted deep into the scoop, with the teeth just reaching towards the lip of the scoop, so the uppercut movement of the discs can attack base-panels and the like. The discs are powered by 2 x LEM130s at 36V. Set on a ratio of 5:1, it gives off 3500rpm. The discs, combined together make 27kg, so the force given out is 165kj per hit! Large amounts of Rubber amounted behind the scoop stops the risk of self-destruction.

€ SPEED: 18mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-1CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the sides/rear, its 1cm.

€ STRENGTH: Weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: Completely new design.

LEM130s have a Kv of 150, @ 36v that is 5400RPM, so with the 5:1 gearing, your discs will only be doing ~1000RPM...

The ratio will then be 3:1 then.

[knightrous]

1800RPM?

[paulc]

Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls

Then its whatever ratio will give me 3500rpm!

[majinb]

Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls

3:2 would do 3600 rpm

Lol... Its not hard to do the maths.

motor speed / desired speed = gear ratio

5400 / 3600 = 1.5

Gear ratio is 1.5:1

Ive been looking at the arena again, and I was wondering, if both robots ended up out of the arena at more or less the same time, would the fight carry on in the perimeter area, or would the fight be judged on who initiated the OOTA?

EDIT: Actually looking at the KO rules answers that. But what if both robots cant get back into the arena in the 30 seconds?

eeps, sorry, I see I made a mistake in the arena-stats

the sloped walls make a 60 degree angle with the floor, not 30 :blush:

I think Ill make another change of robot. Sorry about this sudden change of thing, but I think itll suite.

WORCK - Written as Worck :wink:

€ 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 750psi 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. The wedges are held on

€ STRENGTH: Near impossible to get under.

€ WEAKNESS: Low speeds.

By the way, Martijn, if no-one else enters, try entering some realies.

yes I can do that, but I KNOW there are at least two people out there... Matty, Martyn, Richard, Samuel... did I forget someone?
