Sure I will.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

the dark side of cupid eh. having a robot called Seung Mina should win me the fight period. But flippers galore and aggression with no mercy is on the cards.

Compression 1.1 vs. Force Feedback

His ram doesn't bother me here, as my armour stat is higher than the power of the ram and I'm not a spinner. I have a two wheel drive to out manouevre Feedback here and his side ground clearance is gaping wide. If I can grab him from there just go for the pit release and put him down the pit ASAP. He'll probably try to use the ram to get free, but the barbs on my wedge and my claws together should stop him getting away. There's actually a very good chance he'll run out of power long before the end anyway, as he's only using 2 NiCad battlepacks to power LEMs @ 48v, correct me if I'm wrong here.

Good luck Alex!

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Technically speaking, if the Packs he's using are 3000mAh or higher, they can power him through the match.

...you can't expect 6ah to last 48v LEMs throughout a typical match, with all the pushing involved :P I'd say a safe value would be at least double that.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Alex has requested to tone down his motors to 36v. I have allowed him to do so.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

...it's still on the small side of things...it might last five minutes, it might not, it depends largely on how much pushing is involved.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

Pushing probably won't be involved, seeing as his ramming bar can push his opponents away.

Eh... you think a ramming negates the need for pushing power?

The ramming bar pushes the robot away, not the robot.

The ramming bar pushes the robot away, not the robot.

And what part of the robot is on the floor to provide traction to that ram? You need to push forward or the ram has no impact.

Re: ARC vs FRA, Battle of the Ages

I know, I was just pointing that the ramming bar itself is powered by a motor.

That doesn't matter. If both robots have the same drivetrain, then a ramming bar will either do nothing or shunt them apart equally. It won't thrust a more powerful robot away.
