Martyns getting serious LOL

I knew I had the rules saved somewhere:

quote:


2.3.
Total weight is measured without consumables - e.g. gases, fuel - and does not include safety bars, straps, guards or similar equipment used to immobilise moving arms/weapons. (Please note that batteries are not considered as consumables). N.B. Total weight also does not include such safety devices as the €œsafety tether€ required while running in some arena types.

Just think of it, like a larger typhoon. If the walking system is your problem, why not kick Archangel of the Abyss out because it uses the same system.

Jihad will work, but as Dave stated, the robot has very little speed and no traction whatsoever.

[pcbore]

Correct me if Im wrong, but doesnt having no traction mean it cant move?

Cheeky boy system has 12 legs i think, itll probably fll voer or strumble with only 8 so there

Also I think with such minimal power in your mobility you wont be able to move at all. You expecting Two standard wheelchair motors, at 12 volts power the legs to move. to work. I use magmotors at 36 to get archangel moving, that poer had to go through all the cams in the legs and i doubt what your suggestign would be adequate.

Let me just do a quick weight breakdown, and this is the non techie here

engine - 40 kg
shell - 20kg
chassis - 74 kg
claws: there are six of which so, as for exampel the mortis axe blade weights 3kg, assuming its half the weight of that we get 9kg for puny blades
a starter motor, lets be generous and say there weight 3kg
same again for the wheelchair motors

That 152kg, which means your trying to fit batteries, the legs of the machines, the skirts and the fuel tank into 48kg. Considerign scuttle b2 (anarchy without the armour or weapons) weights 100 that just aint gonna happen, especially seeign as the design of the cheeky boy system requires large feet.

I would say that the shell wil break up upon reaching max velocity. Mainly because Dave is stretching 20kg worth of metal around a 1.6m diameter. Thats almost only 2mm steel ! For that size and speed, I would like to see a minimum of 75kg weight spent into the shell before I would believe it will survive.

The engine, is possible, but Ive never heard of any Rotax motors running turbo/charger on the intakes, is this some new, uncommon racing mod? Also 4litres of fuel is a bucket load for that size of motor. That would run it for several hours! I would expect something like that being used with a Gas Turbine!

The walking system, I wont get started on that, but I know the Anarchy system can be done with four legs per side with chains, sprockets, legs and structure around them for under 25kg each side with no problems (This includes PERM080 drive motors)

survive the hits by the almightily MDU

Okay, enough of this... MDU is gone.. its in the past, stop damn posting it in your stats!(This goes for everyone else too)

Well Im going back into my workshop to play with my omnibot. BYE

[alex_holt]

But he would need 50 kg in total for the legs and parts that go with it, but then he doesnt have any weight for the large and heavy fuel tank, the skrits or the batteries.

Additionally even for a full body spinner hes using almost 75% of his weight in his weapon, in contrast tengu and archangel only have around 50.

*Wonders why the american system is growing and the british system is dying*

Jihad was only a joky entry, t was 30 months old, so thats why its so shit. Another change of entry, replace Jihad with The Linear Mover which is an idea I had, stats when I can be asked to draw it up, you might have a lovely picture of it as well

[alex_holt]

Oh for any applicable deities sake!

STOP DOOMSAYING YOU TWERP!
