Looking quite scary guys. Coming along nice indeed. I could predict a wheelie perhaps. :)
thats looking vey nice guys, whats the purpose of three tanks?
more gas = more flips :)
2 for the buffer 1 for the main tank
1 gas bottle, 2 buffer tanksQuote:

Many things matter, with 2 burkerts the maximum flowrate you can achieve is 4400 l/min.
Of course, but still the amount of buffers will hugely affect the power
yep, it's looking to be a very powerful machine! have you kept the valves on the fire extinguishers? how are you keeping them open?
you don't need more buffer than 3 times the volume of the ram, its all about flow and the thing what is restricting the flow there are the burkerts has they only have a 4-5mm hole going through them, you already have 12mm ID pipes going to it so bigger pipes won't help, also the fitting on your buffer will have a small ID so a fitting with a bigger ID would be betterQuote:

If you look at IA5/6 they only use 2kg gas, and i don'y think i've seen them run out of gas, where as Kronic runs 4kg (with the same sized ram as IA6) yet runs out alot quicker due to liquid getting thorugh the system etc.
FYI Kronic only has 2 burkets as inlets (one is those is even a cheap knock-off) and i have more than enough flow.
Top ram fitting made and mounted

OMG this is one hugely scary flipper! :shock: Can't wait to see it for the first time. Will it be coming to Worthing (if you get it finished in time)?
Yes, if :lol:Quote:

Well, after the event, make sure to check out my videos on YouTube from the events.
looking real good... does it weelie that much with the flipper arm on?
Nope, just tried itQuote:

ha ha nice to know your comparing it to Ripper :proud:
Ripper does wheelie, after i built it i was going to put a wheelie bar on the back but decided it looked cool to be able to wheelie !!
Looking good adrian !!
Looks awsome! Do you mind telling me where you got yor pipe/hoses from the buffer to the ram. Been looking all over the net and cant find anything with a high enough rating.
Find a local hydraulics supplier, they will make any hose you like. RS also do a basic range of hydrualic pipes as well.
Got to ask; when can we see the flipper in action?
Finished!

Well, we'll be taking it to Worthing this weekend, whether or not it works is a different matter :lol:Quote:

thats all i have to say, if its anything like explosion, then i dont wish any HW to fight it :D
Looks awesome!
I'm impressed just how much you've made it look like the FW.
It was the aim to make it as much like the feather as possible, because we knew the design worked well. In reality we actually tried to improve the design by sloping half of the back to counter it resting there.
Lookin' Good, think it needs a baptism of fire against Kronic and Iron Awe!
HahaQuote:

give it a proper first test, enter it in the team bud challange match against toxic 2?
We haven't tested it yet, well it drives but the pneumatics may have a huge leak that we haven't spotted. We're just using Worthing to sort out any teething problems.Quote:

Wow, thats one good lookin' Heavy! I'll make sure I get all of it's fights!
looks good, have you left the valves on the fire extinguishers? it looks like it in the pictures but i can't quite tell
We have used the valves, but only to feed the gas through. The valve part is removed and the holes drilled out to give a bigger bore.Quote:

Looks fantastic though, well done :)
well done guys.....looks like its been coloured in with a felt pen. :) its good to see new robots being built....it looks very nice you must be very proud. Its a shame Thor will kill it 8)
Well, considering it was never alive in the first place, Thor killing it would have no effect, leaving Eruption un-harmed and perfectly capable of tossing Thor over the arena wall :lol:Quote:
