Sorry I was a bit brief on the rules, by the usual I meant FRA Rules. The structure of the tournament will be simple one-on-one knockouts. Tim, I€™m afraid I cannot accept stats in the FRW format so at the moment you don€™t have a place. Kody, a picture of Dysfunctional would be handy please. And for Chris, shall I base your drive train upon S28-400 MagMotors? Otherwise everything is going great, thanks all!

Can you? Ive never really understood the technical details for a while now. Thats the main reason why I thought removing the bit in the real Robot Wars where the teams were introducing their robots was a bad idea.

I believe there should be a picture of DC-RI in the C&B2 tournament as well, somewhere.

@Chris: http://magmotor.com/brushed/brushed.htmlhttp://magmotor.com/brushed/brushed.html Give you all the information you need to know about Magmotors :-) If you want less detailed, go here: http://www.robotmarketplace.com/marketplace_magmotors.htmlhttp://www.robotmarketplace.com/mark...magmotors.html

Plenty of information on the interjet :wink:

Also, 3 x 12v batteries? Are you running 3 in series for 36v? or 3 in parallel for 12v?

@Matty: 2 x 36V Dustin Motors running off 3 x 24V TMC batteries Can you explain this a bit, something Im sure Ive asked you before, but cant remember. Are the motors run at 24v or 36v? If your running 36v, Im wondering how you get it from 24v batteries. If your ran the 24v batteries in parallel, you would have 24v, if in series, you would have 72v... Which is it? Got a link to the batteries? I might be able to find a solution for you.

Slightly off topic. Now that I have myself a wonderous server with some php/mysql, I might look at finally working on that rough fanfic bot designer tool I started around 2004...

ah, stuff it, change it 3 x 12V. The batteries are 2 kilos lighter each... add a couple of extra layers of paint.

Sounds fun!

Thanks for clearing things up guys, hopefully means Ill be able to write some semi-decent battles that way too.

Could someone suggest me a good a good motor/battery etc setup for a true FBS (ie one that turn on its wheels) I never was much good with technical stuff...

Back for their comeback tour:

A couple of big updates: the armour for each is now 5mm Ti and the power now comes from 2 x Dewalt 18v batteries at 24v. Theyre tougher, pushier and raring to pass the audition!

Its Dysfunction, not Dysfunctional. And I cant get a pic of it at the moment as my computer is not working. *is typing this from school*

If someone could CAD it for me, that would be nice. Im kinda of suffering at the moment. :sad:

A picture of Dysfunction 2.0 would still be handy, anything will do. Alex, for this tournament 3x (presuming thats how many wheels you have) C40-500 MagMotors at 36v might be good, but you shall have to check it out with someone...

Just one more place to fill and I still need entries from Aaron, Martijn and Alex. I was hoping to start the tournament the start of the week if possible, so get a move on. :wink: Im sure all of us dont want yet another tournament put off for about 8 weeks, which is what it will be if I cant start on Monday most likely. :P
