erm,............a different scoop. :lol:
The spike possibly, not sure how its attached, but could maybe make it removable easily. Maybe even a lifter?
I've never tried a HW electric lifter, but if the batteries can be moved back/modernised it might be a possibility.
what about a V-styled scoop
well Cherub uses a 250w motor with a 500:1 ratio so its possible :)
v-style scoop... elaborate?
Like shunt had I guess. Good for clearing snow I suppose :lol: .
I know that its possible as far as hardware is concerned, but as Michael said earlier, its space thats the issue.
the front of Shunt, the bulldozer effect? you get the idea
v scoop at the back and scoop at the front?
the possibilities are endless... until i hit the weight limit :lol:
it weighs 90kg so only 10kg spare of weight
for a HW, a nice amount of room to play with :)
yep, and if the batteries are changed it could take an extra few kilo's off
see how much it would cost/how much weight i would save i guess :)
If they've not been charged since back in the RW days they might be dead anyway and need to be changed. Eric/Scar use SLA's, but they're tiny compared to the ones they used to use.
i guess its time for some ear bending of my parents :)
Tony has a point, as far as I know, Mr Nasty was last used back in 2004
Very strong possibility that they're dead then. I also very much doubt that you'll get 2 additional scoops added on with 10kgs of weight, especially if you're sticking with 6mm steel or Hardox, the scoop on my feather is around 2kgs and its only 430x10x5mm
Batteries will be knackerd, even if they have been kept charged. For something like Mr Nasty you would need Hawkers, you won't get away with using cheap ones as they won't deliver the current, so your looking £300 for a set of batteries.
Very much an idea ATM, I would have to find out cost etc from the guy
Matt, would you have room to store it though? HW's take up a lot of space.
Dunno, I did look at the dimensions but I honestly can't remember, I'll have to check
Mr Nasty is 26*95*80 cm. Good old wiki.Quote:

Nearly 16 stone too, can't exactly put it under the bed when not in use. Eric has pretty much relegated our cars from the double garage to the driveway with the amount of space you need to work on and store him effectively. Really need something similar to that space wise I would suggest.
Transportation is another issue, HW's are rather difficult to move about.
Definitely, although I managed to fit 2 HWs and 2 FWs into the back of my Matiz for Edinburgh :proud:
I've looked everywhere and I can't god mr nasty's top speed!
Matt, In one of Mr Nasty's robot wars fight's Jonathan Pierce says that it has a top speed of 9mph, not sure if that's accurate though.
If you work out the gear ratio you can just work it out. Seems like a very very minor issue though compared to the others that have been expressed.
Also, I thought each wheel was driven by its own motor? Doesnt look like that in its picture at all :?
what picture are you talking about? on the builders website there's a picture clearly showing the 4 motors
A picture on Michaels FB page.
I googled the maker and can see the photos of 4 motors now. I didn't expect them to be in that formation though, rather than 1 motor per wheel its more like 2 motors per 2 wheels but they're all connected together in a kind of series-type way. Never thought of doing it that way before, interesting way to save space though.
This is the pic that I got sent. You can't see it in this picture, but in others you can see that there are 2 motors each side, one on top of the other. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3204074_n.jpg
nice, what i wouln't give for someat like that :)
Chassis don't look all that strong, i would say its much more than 9mph, twice the power of Tornado, no point have more torque as you'll just spin the wheels, so might as well use it for speed.
it does look like a good bot and the 10kg but probably would need some strength putting into the chassis
Yeah, if you wanted to strengthen the chassis, that would easily use up the extra 10 kilos.
Neat design, a motor per wheel, bet that has some push!
Question to Matt, Ceri and Michael
What do you think i should do with the old Spike the Avenger chassis? Use it for static or some that can be like target
practice for ReAvenger and Steel Avenger?
I'd say that itt depends on what state it's in and if it's beyond repair :)
Well, the front wedge at the bottom is sort of bent upwards (Cant find my hammer to straighten it out) most of the
front seems to be held together with duct tape and the top panel is relativley damaged, was gonna bring it back but me
and Matt agreed on making a Ming 2 clone for Avenger-ess instead
ok, how's the Ming 2 clone going then?
