Ask the Executioner team. They ran a modified chainsaw motor for their disk. Impressive results.
Nope, no-one guessed it:proud:
Gary, Where I work my boss got hold of an 80hp jet engine complete with gear box to a 5,000rpm output shaft. A little over the top but weighting only 20kg could be possible (execpt fuel capacity). I belive it was a 747 starter motor :). Even if they let you use enough fuel the exhaust would be so hot it could be classed as a weapon and disallowed and its not classed as an IC engine which is what it states in the rules as being allowed. Its impractical but then again....:)
Another posssiblity that crossed my mind was a steam powered robot, know a few people who build them. Not been done yet to my knowlegde.
Perhaps Ed will dig further in his wallet for a big pool to run the steam robots?
Robot? yep
Tools? yep
Cozzy? nah - aw what the heck :)
would the coal etc and the water be counted as consumables?
probably not - just like the lilos rubber rings and ducks
Im not sure a steam-powered robot would qualify either, strictly speaking, since it is described as an external combustion engine - ie the combustion occurs outside the pressure system. However, I am sure if somebody did come up with one then the rule would be modified to suit!
Funny you should mention that.......was working on a steam powered, self driving robot. Still on the drawing board, needs work but it might get into the arena before it stops working.
(stop laughing Gary)
im not
be it a walker? Or are you coming to the dark side and using thoes funny round things? :)
