Re: How could I Improve pt 2

i cant anymore cos it says i have to install a new one ( or should i say download) :shock:

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

Why don't you just download the new one then?

seriously though why bother listing all your vapourbots in the robots section? It does make the forum seem a bit stupid, even from a vapourboteer/fan 's point of view

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

I have to agree with Liam there, sorry :P I've got loads of vapours - I still have updates planned for them should they require them - but I don't list them with the altogether more real ones as it'd make the forum look silly.

If you can't MSN, maybe stick with PM's

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

Here is my second vapourbot for your perusal, what does everyone think?

Name: Frustum

Weight: 90 kg

Shape: Conical Frustum (truncated cone)

Colour: Green, White and Gold (well orange)

Dimensions: 77cm * 67cm * 11cm

Drive: 2 * C40-300 Magmotors running on 26.4 V with 8 * 10 cell A123 ANR26650M1 battery packs

Locomotion: 4 * 12 cm diameter 5 cm wide titanium hubbed wheels with rubber coating

Armour: All over hardox (10 mm forks, 10mm shell, 5mm base and top)

Speed: 15 mph

Ground Clearance: 0 cm at the front under forks, 0.5 cm elsewhere

Turning Circle: 0 cm

Weapon: 5 cm wide rear hinged hardox lifting arm powered by an S28-400 Magmotor running off of the same batteries as the drive.
Geared down @ a ratio of ~160:1 to give a 90* lift in under 0.5 seconds and the ability to lift a large amount

Srimech: The arm is the srimech but has the ability to run inverted

Notes: This one had a CAD done to make the parts fit and check weights easier

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

It's not at all bad, I'm quite impressed

I'm a firm believer that if you have 10kg free you should do something with it though, that might be something worth thinking about...maybe blades on the sides should you suddenly want to become a not terribly good full body spinner?

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

hey guys although i have to many vapours this will be my 1st feather weight vapour

name: archmage
weight: 13.6kg
speed: 10mph
shapeillow torque
motors: 2X Astroflight C40 / 15:1 planetary gearboxes / Final drive.. 5mm pitch HTD timming belts 19.2V 3700mAh NiMh Pack
dimensions: height 10cm width 30cm length 47cm
wheels: 4 pillow torque wheels
colour: dark blue with blood red down the middle
armour: 3mm thick titanium
weapons:a ramming blade at the front (like pillow tourque) attached to a flipping arm power by a co2 bottle can flip
up to 75kg
srimech: invertable but the flipping arm can self right it
strenghs: fast, good flipper
weakness: exposed wheels
bio: my 1st feather design which is essentialy pillow torque but all power up to kick robut

all advice welcome

What kind of a flipper? What type of ram? what size bottle? High pressure or low pressure?

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

Leo can probably clarify this or otherwise as I've never dealt with pneumatics in a featherweight, but I don't see you fitting all that in those dimensions. As you've said, it's pretty much Pillow Torque, and those sizes are pretty much Pillow Torque's dimensions, and having seen inside Pillow Torque, I'm certain there's no space for a ram, CO2 supply, possible buffer tank and all associated piping.

You could maybe fit a 4-bar electric lifter in there, especially if you contain all the gearing and electric motor within the space of the arm, like Storm II did. Perhaps powered by an Astroflight motor running through a custom-built gearbox for example.

hopefully this is right for my 1st feather thanks for help jamie and leo

It looks good, Lian. I'll post it in your section on my forum.

Question: Would it be legal in FanFic to use LiPo batteries in HEavyweights, seeing as there are no hazards to people in FanFic?
