I dont think theres much point of a grudge match between Apocalypse and Nitro-Gene Paul, sorry.

I agree, Liam. Besides it is a bit unfair: Apocalypse fighting a SHW...

Daniel - Nitro-Gene is NOT overweight. Not version 4.0 anyway :proud:

Is Nitro-Gene 4.0 the one with the 5mm/6mm armour, the four LEMs and the 100mm nitrogen flipper?

Paul: trust me. 5mm Hardox armouring, 4 LEMs and a nitrogen flipper inside a 100kg robot is absolutely proposterous.

1) You dont need thick amounts of Hardox armour when even 4mm is going to be tough to dent. You can get thicker amounts of lighter armour instead to take the weight down.

2) Why not take 2 LEMs out and give the machine a skid steer turning capability (think Razer or Growler). Youll still have lots of HP and good manouevrability. The weight taken from the removal of the motors can mean more armour in certain places.


I am not nit-picking here, Paul, just helping you out. Please at least read my suggestions.

Paul, look at Dans latest version of Pure Evil:

http://strickenone.proboards99.com/index.cgi?board=teambv&action=display&thread=308http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...isplay&thread= 308

Its basically the same as Nitro-Gene 4/5, apart from the shape and two less motors.
It needs tracks, and therefore the extra 10kgs, in order to fit all that in, and that is with two less motors than your 100kg robot.

Food for thought...

1. It had the thick Hardox when I started, so I rtemoved 2 wheels to cut down on weight for the gears and chains needed for 6 wheels, and it meant I would only need the weight of the motors, as 1 motor powered 1 wheel.

2. IT DOES HAVE A SKID-STEER AS IT CAN TURN ON THE SPOT!!

Paul, forget it. Youre obviously a lost cause in this.

Paul, can give me your weight analysis of Nitro-Gene? How much for armour, motor, batteries, wheels, gears, weapon, etc?
