DB10 has positive rake as well, and the teeth are replaceable.

[overkill]

Mr Mangle's beater is S7 tool steel, hardened to around RC55. You are quite right that it will go blunt like any other steel weapon, but looking at the draw I got, only Glalactus, Tiny Toon and TS3 are likely to do any damage to it, so there will be plenty of sharp spots left on Saturday. This is the same steel I use on Scissorhand's teeth; given that the length of the cutting wedge on Scissorhands is 44mm and lasts a full competition, I'm optimistic that Mr Mange's 220mm of cutting edge will last for 4 days.

On the other hand, Mr Mangle is likely to end up in the pit for each and every match, so sharpness might not matter so much

Hi Ed, Your site link isn't working for me - are there any pictures of DB10 on the forum?

[geeza]

Yeah I know, need to get that removed from my signature. Don't have the time to maintain a site anymore. Its all in bits at the moment having some last minute upgrades and lightening. Only decent pic I have is:

That's a difficult and expensive design to pull off - congrats! I'm guessing the disk is aluminium with a steel tooth?

[geeza]

Thanks. That disk is 'some type of steel' that I found at work, seemed to machine if it were harder than mild. The teeth are 5mm Hardox. But I have a back up titanium disk also.

[overkill]

LOL, all I had was "some type of paperwork' lying around at work - so I quit!

[calumco]

Interesting fight with mr mangle and carcinus should be a good one! Touch wood ts3 is almost ready slightly over weight thou atm

[overkill]

What happens in later qualifying rounds if a bot gets totalled and can't continue? Do the remaining two bots go one on one, or does another bot get substituted so its still a 3-way match?

[geeza]

I would imagine it goes to 1v1, or if you are really lucky a bye.

[Flag Captured]

I'd imagine it'd be 1v1, can't imagine there'd be substitutes past the first fight.

Also, this gladiator fight, do we sign up on the day for that?
