How much downforce does 540 end up with in those videos? To barely move after a hit from NST is pretty incredible! It definitely looks like there's a lot of performance gain on that side of things, looking into some solutions for higher powered drive, since I think drills might be usable but end up causing a few problems...
Would there be much of a performance drop by having two smaller magnets instead of one larger one? HardWired has a removable weapon bay with a linear actuator in at the minute, and will eventually have other things like a small drum on there or what have you, so I can't really have a huge magnet on the underside of that since it'll probably wreck havoc with the weapon drives - the idea would be that I'd have a smaller magnet on each side in between the two wheels either side of the machine to keep it away from everything it'd affect as much as I could. Those wheels would most likely also have some kind of thick silver steel axle as well as bearings to help ease the load, but I'm still not sure yet.
Realistically, it's not probably going to be as solid a pusher as 540 or Stag, but it'd more be as a support to the lifting capabilities - pushing stuff around is the main aim, but if I can have significantly improved grip and stability, then that'd improve performance tenfold.
Oh, and Mouldy - that sounds like a bit of a challenge there![]()
