    I'm currently constructing a heavyweight robot.
    The main design aims are:
    Invertible.
    Compact.
    Very heavy armour.
    Crushing weaponary.
    Highly reliable.

    The robot is split into 2 sections, the mobility part and the weapon part. This makes the weapon modular.

    There are 9 (A4 sized) 10mm thick hardox500 armour plates which can be moved to different parts of the robot, depending on opponent (e.g. increased top armour for axe/hammer opponents).

    The thickest armour at parts of the robot is 42.5mm thick, made of 4 layers of various materials.

    The main weapon can exert approximately 75,000N - 100,000N of force. Equivalent to approximately 7500kg - 10,000kg. This is concentrated to two spike like structures.

    I'm hoping for this to be completed in 8 to 10 weeks time.

    Paul.

    Looks good so far, hope this one goes smoothly for you. What sort of drive system are you using on this one?

    im no expert on this but to bend and pen hardox (heavyweight thicknesses at least) would you need more then 10 tonne ?

    Very very ambitious.

    My experiences with multiple motors for 1 purpose ain't to favorable.

    Also, with that kind of armor you'll have to build very very tiny.

    How are going too achieve 9-10 tonnes of forces mechanically ?

    Be interesting to see how you would achieve it

    "About 65cm wide x 75cm long. 25cm high."

    Not far off the dimensions of PP3D. I struggled to get 6mm hardox into the weight limit. Second time out most of it was 3mm.
