Stuck for a design

Next on my list of 'Things to build' is the new Knightmare. The plan was to have a flipper, in keeping with before, but then i decided i want something different to bring abit more variety to the show, so was going to build it as a axe/hammer (similar setup to thor/thz). But would like to build something abit different, i did think about a TAN style machine, but i dont want to build a copy, so i tought about that idea but vertical (so flipper/grabber, along the lines of Jawbreaker from the USA), but still not sure, can't get the shape right to fit everything in.

So i thought i would see if anybody has any ideas of something they would like so see. It doesn't have to be world beater, as long as it isn't 'fodder'.

I think a crusher would be good or a flipper and axe combination like mortis

pneumatic crusher sounds good. what about a front hinged flipper/axe combo? kinda like trax or slam job?

double horizontal axes :mrgreen:

or a walker and use the extra weight to make a giant flipper/axe combo like anarchy

Dont want a walker, needs to be reliable, plus haven't got the time to design and build one. Not keen on double weapons, its difficult to make one effective, nearly impossible with 2.

Hard to think of something that's not been done. Full body flipper?

a shunt style axe ?
the only other thing I can think of is a rambot or a hydraulic crusher

You could have a go at perfecting Jonnos flax design. :)

you could do a sort of 4 bar full body flipper

Decided im going to make it a larger version of my FW Kit Bashbot ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFeym_8y ... ature=plcp ). Gives me a big noisey hammer without the hassle of pneumatics, ideal for our Expo shows. As this will use nothing from Knightmare, i might build a simple LP flipper with that stuff, which i'll probably sell (Really can't run 4 heavyweights).

If you sell, I'm after a few LP bits :)

Hey Alan, wot u doin with knightmares old internals? As I have the chassis, it would b ideal for me.

still not decided, will probably be making two heavies, then sell one later in the year, as i have a few events coming up where i need multiple bots. I've got the wheels from knightmare with sprockets attached and probably the axle and bearing blocks.

Ok no worries, I got my drive and speedo sorted but that's as far as I got, wanna hopefully get it sorted now the baby and house move done lol
