Stabbing split mechanism.

You should see all the people on Youtube calling Tornado a cheat and stuff. One fairly moronic guy even suggested that Tornados cheating was what caused RW to be axed.

I really dont understand it.

not a fan of razer, TX-108 had the same hydraulic set up in series 6 as Razer and we only got 4 tonnes, funny that razer didnt enter series 7 when they made us prove the pressure we were running at,

to the original question i dont think itll work, i can assure u that ud never punch through 20mm hardox

oh and Daniel, look for a robot called Pinser 14 tonnes of crush made razer look like a pansy

could someone post a video link to this ACW fight, please?

havent seen it before

Come on Craig, the 9 tonnes quoted for Razer is just a roughly calculated figure from some arbritrary pressure and the size of the ram. Its probably not even remotely accurate. You dont think they actually measured it do you?

I think it is a bit much implying that roboteers were cheating based on such shaky evidence.

The main factors that limit the force you can deliver with a hydraulic crusher are the power of the motor, the gearing and the strength of the mechanism.

Razer did an excellent job of building a powerful crusher at the time. Obviously, more powerful machines have been built since then.

I think its time to move on...

I agree John.

I dont think the ACW was cheating which is what some people say......it was perfectly in the rules.

It was a good idea,but i saw it as more as a defensive weapon than an attacking one.

I belive team tornado built an anti spinner weapon and an anti axe weapon also.But what ive heard of the AAW it was just a steel frame suspended on kart tyres.

I think THZ would of had it!:)

Does anyone know the details of the ASW?

Any pics of pinser Craig?

Thanks.

Dan.

pinser was in this....

For the record, Razer uses a 4 inch diameter ram. So, at the old 3000 psi limit, that would be capable of producing over 17 tonnes.

So, if they had ever run it at close to the pressure limit, the mild steel arm would probably have failed.

I never knew that. Thanks for that John :). Any idea what pressure they did run at ?
