For reference, Splinter used a 10 bar 63mm ram to clamp the opponent down and no one ever managed to drive out of it once they were caught. Not even Storm II.

The side weapons are based off that of Axeon 2.0, the axing robot belonging to AJ, except mine are TWICE as powerful. His axe is powered by Nitrogen at 100psi, and he says that (and I quote this) his axe can annihilate Aluminium, punch holes in Titanium and even dent Hardox at full pressure! The only difference is the head of the axes - Axeon 2.0 uses a big spike, whereas Im using fine spikes, designed to pierce robots and trap them.
Understandable?
Well then AJ was wrong.
Its not to be scoffed at, but neither is it anywhere near what he is suggesting as far as my (rather limited) knowledge of these matters can work out.
For one thing, looking at the terrorhurtz website, that axe is only claimed to be 900kg - worth of force, and if you are having to divide the weight between two axes, which are also horizontal it should be considerably less than the total of 8tons that he claims. Not even accounting for what he can or cant get out of his setup.
As for splinter, clamping works very effectively, but never usually for damaging. Having said that, Ive not seen any versions of splinter past series 6, so cant comment properly.
Just checked Axeons stats, and I made a major botch. It is meant to be 1000psi, not 100psi. Either way, we all know its a copy and paste of Dureon, so blame Aaron! :P

I thought 100 sounded pretty miniscule lol
I did think about that much though, but since I know that THZ uses 160psi, so I just took it on the face.
Ditch Nitrogen and go CO2. They both provide the same output at the same pressure. Nitrogen is only advantageous when you want pressures of 1000+PSI, otherwise, you get less Nitrogen shots compared to CO2.
I did a few density calcs and youve got over 45kg in armour/chassis. You might want to remove that urethane from the front and just beef the hardox up to 6mm.

OK - the axes now produce 1000psi.
