same here. i have of course realies. 2 of them being Envy and Thor. will post other 2 later if thats ok.

Envy your familiar with

Thor.... virtually the same drive and power being mags and ni-cads. Thor has an ampflow speedo which is the same as a roboteq but can handle more amps. pics of thor are on barnsley best bits on the roaming robots web site. all hardox front with hardened ali uprights. pheumatic hammer. the same power as thz. zero ground clearence on the front going back to about 3 inches. thor is realible thundering hammering robot with different heads. i.e. pointed, flat, oval. the shape of thor will make it good for football. a little more power than envy so might do well in sumo.

trax and hells teeth are my other choices

Trax..... i will post upgraded spec although it is no longer with us. so it could well be a vapour. mag c40 drive on 2 4qd 300 with a nipper mixer. steering is tank style. (got on well like that) added vulcolon to tracks for loads of grip. 20mm hdpe armour all over. you may laugh but it is an effective armour against spinners as spinners just take out chunks without ripping off the armour. ti front scoop with zero clearence. extreamly resiliant and realible. tracks protected by ti plates front and rear. front hinge flipper like envy but with a bar. i actually took the pneumatics from trax and is now in envy but that dont matter here. trax on youtube getting thrashed by storm 2 because i had zero grip.

changed hells teeth to ripper. i have stolen it from jonno and is the upgraded version. i will ask jonno to post full spec

[joey_picus]

The Chevron Championship

I take it you asked his permission first?

And I know Trax - it actually spookily looks like the sort of robot Id build. Me likes tracks and forward hinged flippers.

wish we never got rid. should have upgraded cos it would have been a great robot

[robotwars]

The Chevron Championship

2 x 24vbosch 750 motors running @ 30v for more speed and power via a roboteQ and Gyro for driving stability and Nicads.
The main weapon is a full pressure flipper powered with two 2kg bottles, two buffer tanks, two burket inlet valves, and two 63mm full pressure rams.
Its armour is 3.2mm hardox 400, covered fully including the standard unique €œ Ripper Scoop€ which makes it impossible to get away from.

See http://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/events08_2.htmhttp://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/events08_2.htm for it in action.

And.. it is going to be the 2008 uk champion

[robotwars]

ripper does rock. that front scoop is awesome and its a lot more powerful than it looks on there. underestimate ripper at your peril. ripper will go far in the uk champs this year and it will be 50/50 against envy.
