Memoirs of a veteran roboteer

[maddox10]

There is at least one machine that tried an hydraulic drive motor.
Seen that at the Newark Kit Car show in 2004. Used a single back wheel like Project One and armor like Mayor damage ,sawblades as a kind of Roman armor. I did believe it was a successor to Sumpthing. But I don't know for sure.

The original plans for Tough As Nails were based around hydraulic drives and weaponpower.

And of course, the chassis of Flextreme 2 has 2 hydraulic motors to power a set of tracks.

Dig never made another machine after sumpthing which he donated to the Ingenuity museum in Ironbridge back in about 2001 or 2002. They had it on display with a short write up explaining exactly what it was.
It sure was a fine looking piece of steam punk design. Still possibly my favorite design of all fighting machines - ahhh happy memories.
