Not surprised, it was flame cut grade 10 of the end of a massive solid slab of ti, the width of that blade was the thickness of the original block that was a few meters across! ... Was basically a piece of swarf compared to what it came fromLooking forward to videos!
As promised pictures of the new Armour, at the moment it is just tacked together. the design is keeping the same shape as the last one, but as mentioned before it is now going to overlap the rear Armour. Hopefully making it stronger.

Craig....the masses would have been watching the boring flippers. I watched your robot...it was actually quite flawless. It got a shed loads of hits...it it were Thor then Thor would have won. If I were watching your robot and judged the fight on hit counts you would have won. I guess your robot is good enough for the win....just not for the show and the crowds. After all it is a show and not a competition.
No flames on the sword, that's why you weren't first, Craig. Kidding, I've no idea. Asides a flaming sword.
I am not trying to I insult your robot, I think its great because it is so different and not just a flipper. But in that fight from my perspective it didn't really achieve much, it does little damage to the other robots and just seemed go chasing around the flipping robots which were fighting each other whereas saint just ran into them and bounced off. But saying that I was just glancing at the video so may have missed something.
I thought it was more interesting/exciting with the big hammer thingy on it which sounded like it did real damage even though I doubt it did much to hardox. As entertaining as saint is, I think it will struggle to win a fight as it cannot really defeat another robot without pushing it into the pit- it's not going to break it and can't flip it out- perhaps that is just the problem with our scoring system. Like I said just my thoughts and I can't really remember who pitted behemoth so if that was saint that changes things a bit.

Just got the front Armour back.
Weighed Cherub one scale looks like 100 Kg the other scale was 95Kg.
Still will start to grind a few bits off just to make sure (when it gets cooler)
The battery has arrived 4200 4s LiFe I calculate it should be able to deliver over 120amps It may be a little large for 4 drill motors!! But better to be a little over specification

This is a mock-up of the proposed transmission with the motors and the ratio the theoretical torque is a little over 120Nm each wheel! The speed about 150rpm giving a speed of over 8.5mph This is a bit faster than the old Seraph.

Amen to that Craig
Depends on what weight class. Satanix goes from empty to battle ready in about 20 minutes
Technically it would be in the featherweight class but at only just over two Kilograms I think I'll just let run around outside the arena!
