    They probably did it that way for more strength, also once the tip is through the shell the wider part of the claw can follow through anyway, not sure how deep it would get through hardox mind..but Razer was designed way before hardox was a common thing on robots so..

    In terms of penetrating, I think that the 4 tonnes is enough, as long as you have a harder material (please correct me if I'm wrong guys!)
    The EN36 is (slightly) less hard than Hardox, so may begin to deform before puncture, but is less brittle,so less likely to shatter in impact or under extreme loads. You could also case harden it, but again your moving more towards the failure mode being fracture.
    We chose EN36 for our trials, and probably will be using it for our final design, the only change being a sharper attack angle

    In terms of our build, our motors and speed controllers are all finally out of customs!

    They are terrifying now that we have them in front of us. The photos don't really give a sense of the scale. We are all quite humbled.

    We have put some puncture proof wheels on order to get a rolling chassis under way.

    And also ordered some RC gear

    We went for the Flysky as it was recommended to us, and has pretty good reviews. It is also very cheap when compared to the spektrum alternative, and our budget has took a bit of a beating with the purchased components and customs charges!



    In terms of having a rolling robot, we still need to spec lipos, a fuse and a removable link. Do we need anything else?


    With the lipos, I found this very good guide.

    Can somebody please weigh in on my thinking here?


    If we are running 2 NPC-T64's at 8s, 29.6V
    The stall Current is 110A x 2 = 220A (So the C value must be more than this)
    For the mAh value, if we assume half of the stall current for operation
    55A x 2 = 110A
    And we look to run this for 3 mins 110A x 3= 330A in 3 mins.
    for the Hour, 330A/ (60/3)= 16.5Ah
    so 16500mAh? with a saftey factor on the 55A draw assumption

    Looking at using the optipower partnership...

    Will 4 of these, 2 parallel and 2 series give me the equivalent of 8s, 16 000mah at 50c (800 amps)?

    I do have a few 4S Zippy 30C 8000mAh packs I could send you to test with. Those were used in Kan Opener, and even if they look gaffataped, the cells themselfs are in balance.(last time I checked)

    Go for a spektrum Dx6i, it's pretty much the standard in terms of robots and comes with a few features that you won't think you need till you have them

    The DX6 is now the new version of it.
