How Could I Improve...

Motors for Roveress: 4x S28-400 Magmotors powered by 5x NiCad Battlepacks.

Armour for Roveress: 7mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy.

Psi?

1000psi.

1: Theres a rule against double posting. How do you think TRIPLE posting is going to be taken? The non-edit rule takes place after 10 minutes, you know.

2: You should have included the psi BEFORE putting in the stats.

Minesweeper: Nothing really wrong with it, I am guessing the scoop is like the one on behemoth which is a good idea. The only remark I have there, is why not make the entire robot of the same armour? give it 4 or 6 mm Hardox all round instead of that mish-mash of various types of armour. In real life we want to keep the amount of materials down as well, from a maintenance and repair point of view.

Roveress: make it a little bit wider, like 70cm, and I think it is in good shape. For the srimech a lem130 is way overkill though, just make the robots top a bit rounded so it rolls over easily and use a Bosh with a gearbox to power the arm, it saves on batterypower and is much more sensible.

Cyrilium Mach 3 : Make the robot higher. There is no way in those dimensions that you can fit 2 2kg bottles, pneumatics, lifter and axe mechanism, and 4 magmotors and batteries.

I must say your stats are improving though, keep it up.

Thanks Leo.

Armour: 6mm Hardox
Speed: 16mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front and back due to scoops.
Turning Circle: 0m

Weapon 2: A flipping arm, powered by another 2kg C02 tank at 750psi. It can lift up to 500kg.
Srimech: The flipping arm.

For axe power, it might be better/more technical to give tip force than estimates of what it can do, although having said that I dont usually bother.

Otherwise, as much as it pains me to say this, those are actually fairly good :proud:

Wha...

The world is collapsing. Mark Elam just made good vapourbots.

*faints*

Cyriliums axe can come down with over 2500kgs of force.

No it cant.
