Maybe I will be alright using just 1 battery, then. After all, I'll only be using the srimech for a few 7-second bursts per fight, and it's not like I'll be using either of the other systems while it's operating (the arm should close from fully open in around 2.5 seconds).
If you were wondering about the drawing, the front end is on the right.
UPDATE
All the pieces for the bot's jaw and spine are now cut, and ready for welding next weekend. Technically it has a ladder chassis, much like the notoriously indestructible Toyota pickup truck!
Armour has been confirmed, it will be 20mm HDPE sides, 8mm HDPE top and base.
UPDATE
Ferrovore's weapon is working! Not the fastest crusher around, but based on preliminary tests on a tin can and a mobile phone (see second photo), it looks like it has a decent amount of power. Also tested it on a 6mm HDPE offcut, it just managed to pierce through. Hopes are high!
Next priority, mounting the motors.
