Ok Paul, thing here is, you KNOW what Heat Grizzly Bear is in so you KNOW the opponents Down-Force will face, this gives you an advantege.

Snijder FTW :proud:
And as for Psyclonised breaking Hardox, it depends what you mean by break. It can dent it and maybe give it some minor holes but nothing is going to tear through that stuff. For that matter, which bot has 10mm Hardox armour? Im thinking weight check here... Anyway, Psyclonised is more of an impact hitter than a traditional FBS that rips things to shreds. So to answer the question no it cant break 10mm thick Hardox.
For the vote, Id say no because the draw has already been made. However we dont know exactly which bots it will face yet... but still, I dont think it has been allowed in tournaments before this.

Im voting against as well. If Pauls allowed to do it, thered be nothing to stop me or anyone else also updating their line up with new creations. Bad precedent, sorry Paul.

Im voting against as well :proud:.
The reason I asked if Psyclonised could hurt 10mm Hardox is that Sky-Blast in Heat A belongs to me, and its front and top armour is 10mm Hardox. Since I know this, Ill feel a lot calmer about Heat A.

I have a 10mm hardox ramplate on my robot but since I know squat about weight I might just reduce it or something. The ramplate isnt huge or anything so it might be okay but whatever lol
Even though Im crap at making stats, at least I have cool renders :P

A couple of pannels should be OK, but bear in mind Hardox is pretty heavy, especially in comparrison to Aluminum or Titanium. But for its weight, youre getting a seriously tough material - Id say 8mm thick of it would probably stop the majority of spinners round here. Also remember very few spinners can attack the top, in which case 10mm Hardox there is a bit overkill. There arent many axes around either, so its probably best to either choose a different material or shorten the thickness there.
Looking at the stats for Sky-Blast, 20mm Ali is probably pushing it too. I highly doubt 80hp is capable with that drive train, 32mph is just too fast and the ground clearence is on the short side. But hey, I always cheat as well so dont take my word for it! :proud:

What do you mean cheat? I only look at some of the stuff in other peoples stats and say that looks cool, Ill try that, virtually everyone does.
The reason the top is 10mm Hardox is because the top works as a flipper, and it joins to the front wedge, which flips in conjunction.
The motors are 4 of the same used in ForcePower, but I didnt go so much into overkill and settle for 80hp.
The ground clearance is 2mm, which is more than enough to move freely and I geared it to 32mph to make it tough to grab. Its one of those machines that can ram to destroy or flip OOTA if not.
Now thats out of the way, if anyone wishes to complain about me any further, I would like it if everyone could just lay off. Please.

Paul, its a fact that youre the new guy here and youll have alot to learn before being competitive. Youre stats may be a bit off right now, so listen to advise and youll turn out allright!

I dont lok at other peoples stats at all... I resent that.
