Indeed, just one. The only really powerful flipper i can think off (there will be more no doubt) that uses 2 rams is Tsunami.

I would appreciate someone helping me with deciding upon a pneumatics system for Cosmic Thunder 2.

And by helping I mean giving me suggestions on what should be put in there :P

Cosmic Thunder 2

Robot Concept - Low wedge leading up to a flipper
Mass - 100 kg
Weapons - A really nice flipper.
Can it self-right - Yes
Velocity - 16 mph
Turning Circle - 0
Ground clearance - 0 at the front, 0.5 mm at the sides, 0 at the back
Skirts - Side and back skirts
Wheel Type - 6 inch wheels
Motors - Two magmotors geared for torque
Body Shape - Reshaped like Voltronic
Armour - 6 mm Titanium skirts, 4 mm see-through Hardox (lol, but I cant be arsed to change the CAD, so if theres no such thing as see-through Hardox then you can bugger off =P) on the front.
Colour - Spacey

Summary - Well flip you then some?
Strengths - Its extremely low to the ground coupled with a flipper. Also can run upside down if the flipper cops out.
Weaknesses - Its armor isnt all that good.

I wouldnt just revise the pneumatics Alex...

Ground clearance - 0 at the front, 0.5 mm at the sides, 0 at the back

You wont move around much then.

Motors - Two magmotors geared for torque

Which Mags? S28-400s or what? What batteries power them?

Weapons - A really nice flipper.

LMAO Id go with a full-pressure flipper, with 2 2kg CO2 tanks, depending on dimensions. What dimensions (length x width x height, in cm) do you have?

Nice mag suggestion, I was just looking at those and I liked the size and weight to power ratio

Hey, Kody, Martin, could either of you do some renders of Robo-Platypus, Robo-Aardvark and Robo-Crab

How could I Improve pt 2

Name: Robo-Hedgehog
Shape: Box
Colour: Yellow and Black danger stripes
Speed: 25MPH
Weight: 110KG
Armour: 5MM Titanium
Drive: 4 LEM130s @ 36V
Power: 8 NiCad Battlepacks @ 36V
Locomotion: titanium tracks with a vulkalon coating
Ground Clearance: 0MM at front, 4MM everywhere else
Turning Circle: 0
Dimensions: 120X70X20
Weaponry: 1) A 15KG pointed sledgehammer, powered by pneumatics that comes down in 0.8 seconds
The next three weapons are interchangeable
2) A static Hardox wedge at the front
3) 5 static Hardox forklift arms at the front
4) A hinged Hardox scoop
5) 8 rows of 5 curved teeth, the first 6 rows face the rear and collapse when you drive forward and become rigid and damage the tyres of other robots when you drive backwards, the last row faces the opposite way and are fixed in place
Srimech: Axe, can run inverted if axe is taken off
Strengths: powerful weapons, weapons synergy and is capable of 1 or 2 hit KOs
Weaknesses: Thin armour, easily flipped and sides and rear are vunerable

Thats actually a really good attempt, Ben. Few things, though...how thick are the interchangeable Hardox weapons, each of them? And could you explain a bit more about the teeth, please? I dont understand how they would become rigid.

[neontetra23]

How could I Improve pt 2

the teeth lock in place, the hardox weapons are 7MM thick apart from the forklifts which are 5MM

[kodster]

How could I Improve pt 2

And where are the rows of teeth placed? On the front? Sides? Rear?

I dont see the sense of putting them on the front when youve got weaponry there already...

[neontetra23]

On the top Kody, and they are only put on when i am using the wedge

Ah, I see, thank you for clarifying. Could you please put that in your stats, then?
