that was the start of the bites!
series 5 trials. 5th fight (i think)that Kan-Opener had ever been in.
Good times
:)
ah i have you know its was 3mm ally LOL
have more on a fether now days ;)
Went down the workshop yesterday and gave F-spec some TLC, looking all shiny and new now!
Dont know how long it will last though!:)
KO sounds good as new now Tom!
wont be new when my new axe hits it :P
Oh yeah? Neither will urs when KO cuts U in half!
u havent seen Beasts anti Kan-Opener sides, works lovely
hehe ye
all our robots are built and updated to be able to take on KO
if they dont work then we just have to make a new bot lol
will be interesting at uk champs - even though id rather not fight KO - one of the best robots around imo
KO will be designed 2 take on U as well John!
Go Kan-Opener!
hehe its going to be a fun uk champs
Tom, were R U on MSN? :sad:
Well, a Kan-Opener build update has been long awaited. The chassis has been cut and rolled where applicable soon to be welded up also went down to the workshop so you could all see what KO€™s new A123 batteries look like. See my profile for a pic! We are not using them all at once!

...you have special batteries in the exact shape and colour of your robot?
lol @ Joey :proud:
Ye, had to resize the pic, sorry!
They look like little lunchboxes. :)
they are, they have Jam sandwiches inside. They are yummy
I prefer nutella or cheese on mines!
there expensive sandwiches lol
Mmm...Im hungry. :)
Did those A123 packs come from Battlepacks Tom? Do they have balancing leads?
We bought the cells straight from A123 industries. There are 18 packs of 10 cells divided into 5 in order to balance. (Every pack needs two balancers). Any other questions, do not hesitate to ask!
What changes are U going to be making to G-Spec thatll make it different to the other Kan-Opener incarnations U have used?
New batteries obviously, new armour, refined chassis design. Trials on new wheels and tinkering with the hydraulics, as we will be able to run full pressure with the new strengthened chassis design.
Testing for the afternoon today, new chargers and balancers seem to be working affectively and look mighty neat. The Bosches are fast at 33v, a tweak in the exponentials me thinks!
The new-machined brackets that hold the jaws are also looking pretty snazzy as well!
Which chargers and balancers are you using with these packs?
Do you intend to run a different pump setup in the G-Spec or run closer to the 4000psi mark?
Xtrema lithium chargers and balancers, (pic on profile)
We used to run a smaller pump but found that the flow was not quick enough and we were loosing our prey! So we will hopefully be increasing the pressure but at the same time having the speed to the Jaws as well.
How well this works will depend on the strength of the chassis and Jaws (which are new, forgot about them:)) and the ability of the new batteries to supply sufficient current to the Lem pump motor.
Very nice. im looking forward to seeing it all in action.
Yea, same! Have you or are you going to convert team RCCs heavy weights to A123s Leo?
No we decided not to. We have 1 feather on A123s and that is working out great. But we still have plenty of NiMhs for Obsidian and they work fine as well.
We are not strapped for weight either so we intend to keep using NiMh for Obsidian and SLA for Mantis and RCC2 for now. But it is good to know we can fall back to a lighter battery like the A123 if we do need more weight.
Fair enough if you have the weight and the NiMhs!
I am familiar with Obsidian (your axe seen at the last UK champs?) Mantis is the crusher robot bought from Adrian? But what does RCC2 look like? I couldn€™t find a pic on your website.
RCC2 is the oldest machine we have running. on our photoalbum it is the one being crushed by TAN. I still have a picture of it on the computerclub page somewhere.

Its cutters in the front used to be powered by a linear actuator of 2 tonnes, until we broke the gearbox while cutting a washdryer in half. Now the weapon system has been changed to a pneumatic system of just a few 100kg of force, so not threatening. It doesnt have a srimech either so we dont really use it in competitions much, only for demos and as competition filler.
pretty cool paint job
Yeah thats the one thing that does stand out on it. :)
