Kodys unreliable
weight check:
Shocking
Motors = 24kg
Batteries = 14.4kg
Wheels and gearing = ~20kg
Armour (minus front) = ~20kg
Chassis = ~15kg
Front platings = ~5kg - 10kg
Rest = ~10kg
TOTAL = ~108.4kg - 112.4kg
So yeah, its kinda overweight.Comment

Ahem. To help Kody along
Top and bottom plate:
(l x b x h in dm)
per plate: 9 dm x 9 dm x 0.05 dm = 4.05 dm3
So 2 plates: 4.05dm3 x 2 = 8.1 dm3
Ti= 4.5 kg/dm3
8.1 dm3 x 4.5 kg/dm3 = 36.45 kg
Subtract the wheel holes (I dont know the width of the wheels so I went for 10cm wide and 10cm long holes, 16 in total):
16 x (1 dm x 1 dm x 0.05 dm)= 0.8 dm3
0.8 x 4.5 = 3.6 kg
36.45 kg - 3.6 kg = 32.85 kg
And thats just top and bottom, never mind the sides, skirts and shovels.
I think you need to slim down even more than Kody thinks. And some astute readers now also understand that drilling holes to save weight is really nickels and dime work.Comment

Borrowing Leos calculations, the top and bottom plates, with 3mm titanium, now weigh...
21.87kg without holes, and 19.71kg with holes.
Not counting the 1mm aluminium in behind the front set-ups, of course

Btw Liam, what makes you so sure that you will get all that power to the ground as you say in your stats? (edit, never mind, I presume you refer to the 8 wheels)

And you thought I was joking when I said you would have a cardboard armoured box.

After some calculations I managed to work out the idea Liam had, but then in a way that you still have 16kg left for a scoop with a 5mm Ti armour all round but no skirts though and exposed wheels. (you have to do something when you are bored to tears in a hotelroom ). I collected all data from robotmarketplace and overdimensioned pretty much everything to account for additional mounting and bracing.
I wont enter it as a vapour though, I cant stand wedge boxes. But if Liam wants it he knows how to reach me.
