A123 is a good choice for weight, but a bit dull for vapours. They cant catch fire, dont explode, they just die. :)
To be on the safe/real side, divide the amount of nominal amps you require by 30, and that is roughly the amount of packs you need. the 70A A123 projects as nominal amperage for their cells is not realistic, you should take that as the maximum current for short bursts.
So even 5 packs is pushing it.
Sorry about my stats. Ill just correct the armour issue:
ARMOUR: 5mm Titanium around the sides, and on the top is 9mm Titanium.
Very rough draft of new Supreme Glory - any immediate problems with it?
Name: Supreme Glory Omega
Weight: 200kg
Armour: 4mm Hardox on bottom half of the shell and 6mm Titanium on top half of the shell.
Speed: 10mph
Shape: A flattened cylinder like Tempest with removable Titanium skirts. The bottom half is slightly bigger than the top half.
Weapon 1: An 8kg Hardox axe, similar in shape to Excalibur, powered by liquid Nitrogen via a rack and pinion system running at 1000psi.
Strengths: Strong armour and devastating weaponry.
Weaknesses: Limited Nitrogen supply on board, but should be enough for a whole battle.
Ground Clearance: 0mm when skirts are used, 7mm when no skirts used.
Srimech: The axe self rights the robot.
Notes: This robot is a walker robot and runs off 4 x S28-400 MagMotors running at 24v, giving the robot an approx top speed of 10mph. The robot has 6 legs (3 either side) and walks in the same fashion as Pressure Drop from Battlebots (tri-gauge mechanism ensuring that 3 legs are on the ground at any given time). The shell of the robot is circular, and the Hardox section is designed as an anti-spinner device. It is a free moving piece of armour when, if hit by any kinetic weaponry, will transfer the energy and spin without damaging the robot itself. The axe is powered by a direct rack and pinion drive, and has a 100mm stroke, 80mm bore pneumatic cylinder. This means the axe has roughly 35 hits per fight (4kg of liquid Nitrogen on board) and should hit with approximately 2 tonnes of force at the tip of the axe. Hopefully, the axe should be ruthless enough to knock opponents out in one hit ala The Judge vs No Apologies. In order to stop the machine from bouncing around after firing the axe, SGO still uses the vacuum system to suck it to the ground. This can be switched on and off during the match.
Er, dare I say it? What batteries does it use? :proud:
Also, how is the free-roaming piece of armour attached to the chassis/other armour and what is the attaching part comprised of?
Just my two cents. :)
The Hardox armouring is free-moving, meaning that although it is connected to the robot, it is free to spin around freely. The attaching part is a 4mm Hardox tube which the Hardox armouring slips over. This is opsitioned in the middle of the robot.
The above would be much easier if I had a diagram.
In terms of batteries, the robot has 6 x 24v 3600mAh NiCD Battlepacks.
that is a shuffler not walker, there is a difference
All right, Craig, what would you classify as a true walker?
as i said before a walker has 2 movements on each leg eg Mechadon
a shuffler has a rotation to move its legs aka a cam mechanisum, same as scuttle and pressure drop
a true walker pics its leg up (movement 1) and swings it (movement 2) the first actuator for movement one drops the leg and the second actuator pulls the weight of the machine
shufflers should only get 50% more not 100% some would argue they shouldnt get 50% at all as they use rotation to walk and then its basiclly just an off centre wheel and that doesnt make it a walker
still, in the world of vapourbots, mostly walkers are allowed to weigh 150 kg max (and 110 kg for shufflers)
