3: To quote something Leo said earlier in this thread about Armox:
[quote:2f4ydupt]You can't drill it, you can't weld it, the only thing you could do is clamp it in something, but that thing would probably get ripped off before the plate gets a scratch.
Apparently, Armox is very tough, perfect for a robot...[/quote:2f4ydupt]
So you can't drill it or weld it? Then how do you plan to attach it to your robot?
I think he plans to have it slotted into a frame made up of what could possibly be described as hardox glazing bars.
Yup, just noticed it says that in the stats - I should've properly read them before posting that :lame:Quote:

But anyways, meet the first ever Armox-covered robot!!!
EDIT: And if you check the SSAB website, they do have weldable Armox now, I'm just using the tougher non-weldable Armox.
the first ever vapour to use armox :wink:Quote:

i may tink about that...never really liked those 2....a big redesign is in orer :D
right ive decided to design a shuffler, hope you can give me as much advice as you can :D
metallic doom
shape: drillzilla low box
weight:150kg
dimensions:43 x 38 x 7
colour: left hand side blood red, left hand side black
Drive: 2 36v LEM-170 motors, powered by 10x 36v A123 Battlepacks, giving me an average of 26hp.
Locomotion: 2 Drillzilla-style shuffling feet at the rear, giving Metallic Death good traction and pushing ability.
speed: 40mph
ground clearance: 0mm at the sides, 5mm front and back
turning circle: 0m
weapons: drillzilla steel jaws and a pneumatic, double headed version of mortis' axe, powered from a co2 divers bottle,
delivering 400kg
of of pressure per square center meter
strenghs: bloody fast
weakness: robot bounces in the air when axe strikes
bio:my (i believe) 6th design thats is like and updated drillzilla
and forms of advice are welcome :D
Remember, I'm not necessarily an expert, but I can point out some errors...
Metallic Doom
Okay, good name.
shape: drillzilla low box
Don't you mean A low box shape like Drillzilla?
weight:150kg
Okay.
dimensions:43 x 38 x 7
According to my calculator, and the formula stating 2.5cm = 1in, the dimensions are 107cm x 95cm x 17cm, which are good.
colour: left hand side blood red, left hand side black
Don't you mean the right hand side is black? Anyways, okay.
Drive: 2 36v LEM-170 motors, powered by 10x 36v A123 Battlepacks, giving me an average of 26hp.
To quote Kody:
So you'd have to get the motors rewound to work well both ways. Also there are no such things as 36v A123s. The closest thing would be a 36.3v, so you'd need 11 packs.Quote:
LEM-170s only turn well 1 way.
Locomotion: 2 Drillzilla-style shuffling feet at the rear, giving Metallic Death good traction and pushing ability.
For some reason, I feel you directly copied Me Name is Death's Locomotion stat, aside from putting your own robot's name in...
speed: 40mph
Too fast. You want a speed of at max 20mph.
ground clearance: 0mm at the sides, 5mm front and back
Okay.
turning circle: 0m
Okay.
weapons: drillzilla steel jaws and a pneumatic, double headed version of mortis' axe, powered from a co2 divers bottle,
delivering 400kg
of of pressure per square centimeter
The weapon description is very vague, plus with more detailed Drillzilla jaws, you won't need the axe.
strenghs: bloody fast
A bit too fast, actually.
weakness: robot bounces in the air when axe strikes
You don't really describe how the axe strikes...
bio:my (i believe) 6th design thats is like and updated drillzilla
If you add an axe, that takes away the Drillzilla feel. Plus there's no srimech and no armour.
ok ive revised the stats
metallic doom
shape:low box like drillzilla
weight:150kg
dimensions:43 x 38 x 7
armour 2.5mm hardox
colour: left hand side blood red, right hand side black
Drive: right im gonna need some help with the motors here
Locomotion: 2 Drillzilla-style shuffling feet at the rear, giving Metallic Death good traction and pushing ability.
speed: 20mph
ground clearance: 0mm at the sides, 5mm front and back
turning circle: 0m
weapons: drillzilla steel hydrualic crushing jaws with 3 tonnes of bite on each of the one jaws and a pneumatic, double headed version of mortis' axe, powered from a co2 divers bottle,
delivering 400kg
of of pressure per square center meter which starts at the back and fire 180 degrees to the front and if exposed at the
rear, the axe will fire back that way
scrimech: the axe
strenghs: pretty fast
weakness: robot bounces in the air when axe strikes
bio:my (i believe) 6th design thats is like and updated drillzilla
