I will admit its a brave idea, but if he faces any crushers, hell be in big trouble.

I will admit its a brave idea, but if he faces any crushers, hell be in big trouble.
Mark, the reason I dont do that is because Im pretty sure it would put it overweight...and I second what Paul said. When somebody like AJ or Aaron or (long shot) Frank comes along and tells me that I could make it better, I will listen to them because I respect them, and they are more experienced and knowledgable about this sort of thing, and thus are likely to be right. When its coming from you...well...
I havent commented on PLB because I dont see anything wrong with it. I dont think its the most efficient design for combat, but things would be boring if we all entered the same stuff.
For me it was the same as Frank, I didnt see any major flaws so I didnt comment on it. I cant imagine it being a major winner in competitions, but that doesnt mean its design itself is wrong.
Thats alright, I just interpreted the amazing silence that followed it initially as me seriously cocking it up or something similar :proud:
Ive been trying to get this one right for a while...
Brutalis 2.0
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Like Dantomkia, but lower and heavier at the front
Dimensions: 90 x 90 x 25
Power: 2 x S28-400 magmotors running at 24v
Locomotion: 2 x go-kart wheels
Speed: Should reach about 15mph, average 10mph
Weaponry: Front-hinged co2 flipper running at 750psi, 1 x 100mm ram, 1 x 5kg co2 tank gives about 15 flips per bout
Armour: 4mm thick hardox on top and sides, 4mm polypropylene on base
Colour: Black body, red flipper, yellow and green diagonal stripe skirts
Ground Clearance: 6mm all round, effectively 0mm due to skirts on sides and rear and wedge at front.
Turning Circle: 0
Strengths: Agile, Can ram and flip opponents, capable of OOTA
Weaknesses: Fairly weak base armour, not LOADS of flips
Hows that?
Possible Updates for Brutalis 2.0:
Replace the 4mm hardox with 5mm titanium.
Replace the go-kart wheels with Vulkalon wheels.
Replace the 4mm polypropylene with 4mm titanium.
Otherwise, there are no problems I can see. You have a great flipper, strong design, and nice colour.
Dont bother Mark, why on earth would I listen to you?
Its a pretty big tank, im not sure you can fit that in a 90cm x 25 cm Dantomkia shaped bot. In fact im pretty sure you cant.
4 mm polypro as a base, you might as well leave it open. You cant bolt anything on it as it warps and flexes all over the place. 4mm hi-grade Aluminum like 7075 or 6061 would be a much better choice.
What could I replace the tank with?
