How heavy is Intriguers Axe

[majinb]

How could I Improve pt 2

it isnt in the stats Ben, so we cant tell

but honoustly, its not like Intriguer is the ultimate axebot we should all try to imitate (sorry Kody :wink, you yourself made a fairly nice axebot in Robo-Hedgehog

and I still miss the point why your 2 vapourGods (hey, that rhymes with vapourbots) would be Leo (well, that one I understand :P) and Kody

Well I miss the point of any deity, so I am afraid I cant help you out on that one.

I dont think Martijn meant that you would copy it Ben.

what I meant Ben is that you shouldnt value the stats of Intrigue too much, its just one out of many axebots (though a pretty good one)

lol, Intrigue was the shock of my vapourbot crew, it was never expected to be THAT good, and now look at it. Won my first major.

I still wouldnt call it my best vapourbot, IMO Wedginator, Seung Mina, and a few others in my squad would be better than it.

Killotine is a much better axebot, really, but its like Martijn said, dont focus on solely one bot and base stats off it.

Is it possible to fit 8 S28-400s into a heavyweight?

[leorcc]

To get 8 wheel drive with 1 motor per wheel

Its useless though if your opponent lifts all your wheels off the ground. :wink:

And sorry, Aaron, but Ive been toying around with solids for a few hours, and Ive decided that I cant be arsed to go through it all right now (lol, a bit frustrating if you get me) Ill stick with surfacing for now. :P

Will make a final draft of the Troubloon 6 CAD soon.

Liam: Is it possible? Yes, although you would sacrifice a lot of armour for wheels gears and batteries. An active weapon would be out of the question.

So in short you would have a badly turning cardboard box with no weapon. But at least you got 8 wheels.

Right...stats.

Troubloon 6

Shape: Box wedge with inverted rear wedge.

Colour: Mainly brick red. Name on top.

Weight: 100kg

Speed: 12mph

Armour: 3.2mm Hardox monocoque, weighing in at 34kg. The side skirts are 3mm Grade 5 titanium.

Drive: 2 S28-400 MagMotors run at 24 volts.

Power: 8 A123 Li-Ion packs.

Motivation: (I was researching this but then my internet got...bad while I was talking to Aaron :P) 2WD, titanium hubs with a two-component polyurethane coating.

Ground Clearance: 0mm at the front behind the disc, 2cm under the disc, 10mm at the sides (0 with skirts), and 15mm at the rear.

Turning Circle: One that is non-existant

Dimensions in CM: 85 x 65 x 16

Weapon 1: Two 10kg horizontal titanium flywheels, a low one at the front wedge and a high one at the rear wedge, with 2 large Hardox teeth. When flipped, the high rear disc becomes the low front disc and vice-versa. Theyre powered by one S28-400 MagMotor at 36 volts and spin at 2000rpm. They take about 4.7 seconds to get there and dish out approximately 64.3kJ per hit. There is a belt in the weapon drive so that if one of the discs is stalled, the S28 will keep on spinning and the other disc will as well.

Weapon 2: Not really a weapon, but there are extended horns at the front and rear, sharpened and diamond-tipped. The horns at the rear are to spear wedges that try to race in under the rear, and the horns at the front do the same when inverted.

Srimech: Invertible.

Notes: Thanks to Aaron, Leo, and Martijn for all the help in making of this bot, and doubtless there will be more to go.

The CAD is done but I must get some sleep. night.

I guess I should have mentions the method of drawing parts in 2D, then using the planar curves to solid extrusion method
