shhhhhh, theyve found out :)
Hey whats this thread..

opps
i new there was a reason i dont post links lol...
:sad: Hey, what about us. What about crushers & lifters (or both :)). Dont leave use behind. Not fogetting Axes.
Couldnt you find a different name. N.S.A (Non-Spinners Association). Would love to be a member of the N.S.A. Could tell you who shot JFK.
ummm.... what if you have a flipper, a spinner, and a pusher?
Traitor?
Come on guys what are you doing about the spinner menace!! we are continuing to try out new materials, and combinations of materials and interchangeable flipper plates , but I recon by far the best approach is to be driving better
that the other guy , add to that if he knows that you have got 12500lbs of thrust waiting for him
it can have somewhat of an effect on morale:)
come on when all you have is a flipper you have to try anything!!!!!!!
Tony, better driving is not possible for the spinner girls. They have gyroscopic mass to move around. Coupled to that limited intelect ( coz all they can do is spin ) what hope have they got?
Count me in for the Flipper club.
Mike.
Thats more like it!!!!!!Ihope the next 4 way melee I am in is 3 flippers , and 1 spinner!!!
eheheheh Der Boyz
Well, I might as well join up too, as I have joined the flipper club!! (And I dont like spinners!!)
:-)
TTFN
Jon
count me in too
ahahahahah our gangs bigger than their gang!:):):)
Can i join? :)
Never liked spinners anyway. :) LOL!
Stu
Stu.. you drive at least 2 spinners you spanner!
I dunno, weve got spinner denial now :sad:

Heheheheheehe Flippers for President:):):):):):)
Tony, I wish I could make a crusher with 12500lbs force it would be quite effective and fast with CO2.
Now you Know it can be done mark a Impact cylinder
at 1000psi + a decent fulcrum, impact cylinder
produces 7 ton at 100 psi so anything is possible
I have always maintained that roboteers are slightly unhinged now I am sure!!!:):):)
Mark, the only thing you need is a ram with a 4 times as big surface than a hydraulic crusher uses.
If Razer has 9 tons on the ram, this would be a 3 ram. To equal that with CO2 the ram would be a 150mm diameter ram.
If you know that Kan Opener uses a 50mm bore(if Im not mistaken)As does TiberiusIII, then a 100mm CO2 ram can deliver about thesame.
Now, Tough As Nails doesnt do as much damage as intended, but acts a way faster, due the fact we downgraded from Hydraulics( expensive/heavy)to a custom FP CO2 System.Also the fact we have a rather small leverage-2 to 1,and a gian surface in stead of points means we are nice to the opponent, a kind of sturdy hugging is all you get.
In other words, It is possible.A pneumatic crusher.
count us in after matildas back end and twister in the qualifiers spinners are a no no for us:sad: we would feel very much at home in the flippers associaton :)

The problem with TAN is that its too big. Every time we get in the arena with it we get the whole robot in side your jaws and theres not much we can do until you let go.
Will a 6 ram with 8 stroke @ 20 bar do then. Inlet is 1 1/4 BSP. Valve is MASSIVE. Dont know if we can get it yet still working on it. Single Acting with spring return. It was used at a local company for punching holes in 1/4 plates. The whole table the machine was on was used as a buffer tank. Dont know if we could do anything with it yet but its still worth getting hold off. Does Jonno want an arena flipper?
im in too
Nooo, the problem with TAN is that it relies on being able to drive about whilst its got hold of you.
If youve got more traction, all TAN can do is hold on for the ride of its life around the arena surley ?

Kos is working on that Ed, I hope he gets the extra finished before Worthing.
Evil, very evil..
no crusher talk over here ! :)
And I think Ill be a member of this here flipper association too. Should we make a difference between flippers and launching platforms ???
I think the definition of a flipper should be one that turns another robot over. A launching platform is one that throws another robot in the air.
oh, forgot where does a lifter come into this then, if you count it as a flipper (Ive turned a few over) can I join, I do have flipper, honest. It just has a crusher on the end of it.
no point having such a great weapon if your in the pit ..... !!!! :) ha ha
think your good enough for the ripper vs big nipper rematch yet ???
bring it on :)
Humm.....
I think I heard Mike Lambert taking about a hybrid weapon that we should all be scared of.
He was going on about flipping spinners
sounds dangerous to me :)
already been done :)........adam should be able to inform u if ur not sure wot i mean
Count M2 in as well.
Definitions, how about:
A Lifter retains contact with the opponent whilst it is turned over.
A Flipper has sufficient velocity to make the opponent airbourne.
A Launcher has sufficient velocity to throw the opponent more than 3m in any direction from a static position.
Just a thought.
Suspect there wont be many flippers in the future
maybe a few lifters,:)
The definition of a flipper: Causes driver of opponent to utter: Oh bugger
The Definition of a flipper: Causes driver of opponent to shout: F**K ME!!!!
Where does Storm II fit into that ?
Simple - its the opponent that gets launched over 3m. lol
A launcher is when the other driver sees his own robot get bigger, and then get smaller again... Or when hes driving around, minding his own business, and sees his own robot flying by his control booth...
A launcher is a robot where the transmitter is handed into transmitter control and the robot is handed into air traffic control:)
We could be in the lifter and spinner clubs :)
Was looking forward to WITW to test out the new lifter on Chip
Anyway we should be a lifter at Aberystwth and a spinner at Enginuity if all goes to plan.
Tom
Hi Tom the new Bulldog is proving to more difficult to build than any of the other four machines, we were hoping to make Worthing but it looks increasingly not!!!I built a complete new machine but tried to make it look to the untrained eye like the old Bulldog ,,that was the first mistake!! the old Bulldog Dimensions were not really large enough to accomodate all that has to go into a 2004 machine two bottles new cylinder, beefed up flipper arms!!!!!!gone is the Titanium, in is 4mm Hardox 400 a real knightmare,
oh the joys of roboteering!!!!!:):sad:
LOL yes I agree Tony...I think the words joy & nightmare are interchangeable :)
Tom.
P.S. What were your conclusions on the white nylon you were using as armour?
