Big wheels on a heavyweight

[craig_colliass]

OH BTW hope the Rebel Robots thing is going OK, I dont think the Saint and Tanto have met, if I can make it to the event I may fit the saint with its Halo.

[craig_anto]

well Im working on it Craig, no saint and Tanto havent met yet and ill be honest it might be a while yet, the event is taking all my time and that is taking time away from Tanto which it does need, you wont be impressed its only got 250mm wheels

do u have mags craig?

we can pop them in beast :P

we need the old beast built up aswel! i looked at the shell today tho and theres a few welds split - we just need someone who can weld ally :P

[craig_anto]

nope i had Eteks they make mags look pathetic, but they weigh a tonne
I can weld ally

[craig_colliass]

Craig size is not everything.
The Saint got slammed by THZ, Kronic, Big Nipper ..... everyone!
But the old girl keeps going.

[craig_anto]

youve not seen tanto have you?
50cm by 55cm by 25cm, and since version 2 its broken down once

[craig_colliass]

From the photos I have seen its built like a tank!
Saint Mallet (the new one) if you measure the main body only thats 50*47*37cm not as small as Tanto. is yours the smallest HW robot in the UK? Or is that Mighty Mouse

[RogueTwoRobots]

Wow, I knew Tanto was small but I didnt realise its smaller than my crusher featherweight (which when I actually get it built will measure 50x55x35cm) But thats where the similarities end I guess :P

Drill motors vs Eteks and 400kg-of-crush 4mm hardox claw vs insanelythickandprettymuchimpenetrable-mm of hardox chassis/body - I think I know which bot would prevail

I believe Tantos also smaller than Mighty Mouse so quite possibly the smallest HW robot in the UK, maybe even the world

[craig_anto]

possibly i couldnt possibly know for sure, think maybe onslaught was smaller, the new tanto is slightly smaller than the last one.
Small is the way forward, small robots = less surface area that means u can have thicker armour, well thats the way i look at it

[leorcc]

I think since Onslaught was narrower and longer, as Tanto is shorter and wider, that both are pretty much equal size.
