How Could I Improve...

[kodster]

Too many motors.

Any suggestions?

Kody, do I have your respect now?

You dont really need more than two motors unless youre doing a rammer...if you lose two motors, you could use a third S28-400 for the blade, or something similar...I still dont get how it selfrights though.

Im not going to grace that with an answer. :P

EDIT: Joey, hes probably talking about gyroscopics, which, at that speed, will cause his blade to come flying off. Either that or hell be bouncing all over the place the entire match. :P

Note: Ill be bouncing all over the place if I get flipped, and once I land on my wheels, I wont bounce everywhere until get flipped again, which is very unlikely due to my skirts.

Wont these skirts hinder your self righting if thats the case?

And gyroscopic forces have always been a bit of a mystic art to me...the only thing I can think of is Mauler, and that was an off balance object rotating. If a balanced object (the blade) is spinning, wont it just stay perfectly still on its head?

No.

If you watch the Redrum vs Tornado Mer fight on youtube, Tornado Mer was flipped, and self-righted due to the fact that no spinner ever lands perfectly upside-down.

Wont a spinner with that much energy kill itself if it hits the floor at full whack, shock proofing or no shock proofing? TM allegedly was defeated by the arena walls quite reguarly, and I think its safe to say it didnt have 138kj...

i Dont know.

Probably.
