i hope this pleases you? is that like an offering to the vapourbot god Leosus whom moderates this land

No, it is an offering to the 2 vapurbot gods, Leosus and Kodus

Dear Kody,

Given the data supplied I do not believe that the armour and chassis together weigh 25kg. could you please check your numbers again?

Is that better Martyn?

Leo please do not patronize me, i am not an idiot.

Ben, have you thought of making your debut in a grunge match, say against one of Kodys machines :wink:

It looks like youve just drawn that as adjoining surfaces with the old solid here an there to make a conceptual render. Wanna give a shot at doing individual solid panels, chassis and doing a weight calculation via Rhinos Volume Calculator? Will give you a reasonably accurate weight on your robot then

Basically you just select each panel then, run the volume tool on it, which should give you the volume. Now if you follow good practises, and draw 1:1 in mm (Not CM or M ) you just times the material density against the volume you should get your weight.

EG:
Volume * Density (kg/m^3) / 1000000 = Weight
1283.000 mm^3 x 2768 (Aluminium) / 1000000 = 3.551344kg

Now the / 1000000 part comes into it because I use densities in kg/m^3 since I found them http://robots.freehostia.com/Materials/Materials.html here And Im just too lazy to work it out at g/mm^3

I usually do kg/dm3 since i then already have the kg weight immediately.

Nice idea David, wonder if Kody agrees

When I get time to rebuild my vaporbot website, will be looking at knocking up a simple volume - weight calculators, drive train calculator and a battery calculator.

what did Kody do this time?:P

Nothing just thought it would be interesting if me and kody had a battle, or maybe we could have a 4-person Axe-Attack, Id enter Robo-Hedgehog

Kodys got Intriguer, an axe robot which is REALLY good, so best advice Ben, coming from the writer of E.O.T.R.4, the competition the first, weaker Intrigue won...dont challenge him
