Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

I might change the drive system on Son of Wedgie to an inverted double transect axle, if I can be bother to word it right.

In other news, the Aussies Loss to Somerset at cricket. I suggest its the added zider that makes Somerset unbeatable: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/4095124.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/4095124.stm

Come on people, get your stats in.

yeah, everyones right about the reduction, so here is the same robot, but then how it should be ;p

note that Ill enter this INSTEAD of my previous machine (although theyre generally the same, only with a different reduction, AND I also modified the angle with the floor btw)

Name - Back to Rock
Weight - 100 Kilogram
Speed - 29 km/h (18mph)
Dimensions - 90x75x30 cm
Ground Clearance - 0 at sides and front, 2 mm at the back
Power - 2x Etek motors, 48 volt, 30 BHp, 4 chunky batteries
Movement - Four wheels, 20cm diameter
Weaponry
- A wedge at the front, at a 40 degrees angle to the floor
- A pair of side skirts out of 4mm titanium with a 2mm polycarbonate laminate
- A titanium flipping arm, back hinged, powered by a 1,1kg gas bottle at 160 PSI, can easily flip a 100 kg robot 50 cm into the air or self right my robot when needed.
Armour - 7mm Ti/V alloy Box section chassis, 12mm Ti/V alloy for the rest (including the entire top, no invertible rammer this time, as my flipper can act as a srimech, and my wheels will be save from an occasional axe-blow now)
Shape - basically a box, with slightly sloped sides with skirts attached to them, and a sloped front to ram and get underneath opponents (to flip, duh).

Strengths - Powerfull armory, high ramming power, hard to get underneath
Weaknesses - No powerfull active weaponery

I do love the smell of wheel spins in the morning.

400 Amps being drawn to power each motor, I also smell burning wires.

I still say there is no need for 50+ horsepower, because its an arse to put down and whats the point, if you cant get underneath the other robot? A 2 horsepower wedge can outpush an 64 horsepower box if the wedge gets underneath and lifts the wheels off the ground or pushes from the side.

Anyway, please feel free to ingore this old fools comments.

[andrewj]

1) Robots dont do wheel spins, they have grip.
2) The whole point of the power is to get under the other robots.
3) A 2hp wedge can only push a 64hp rammer if it is under with all four wheels off the ground.
4) I shall consider all complaints.
5) If you have left, stop comming back and irritating us.
6) There is no number 6.
7) Goodbye, roll on the next complaint about me.

Ah, the Aussies have returned...

...Is the weather in the Uk too cold for you to play proper cricket and to beat the lowest ranked team in the world, and Somerset
