How Could I Improve...

In all fairness, it probably could, but Mark hasnt given the mechanism or anything so we dont know.

Beta could hardly manage 3000kgs, and it doesnt have a flipper.

Great! Mark had put himself among the great ast last...and then he plunged straight back down again!

Hmm...I was more thinking that Gravity (3) had 4ish tons of lifting force with its only weapon, and if you consider an axe with another weapon, disregarding questions of armour and other weight constraints, and taking into account the fact that the force will be concentrated on a very small area...two and a half tons begins to look possible. Perhaps not in Marks design, thatd be a lot of dedication to the weapon, but its possible.

That concludes my useless mystic naive post of the day :P

And Beta needs a steel floor arena to pull that stunt off with magnets.

2,5 Tonnes is way too much. My real robots with axes had between 450kg and 1000kg of force, the best so far Obsidian with 800kg but it is going to 1000kg probably next week. Then its in THz territory, although probably not as effective. But even on 800kg piercing 3mm Ti should be very doable, depending on the axe shape.

Joey, your reasoning is not wrong, you could easily do a 3 tonnes FP axe if you wanted to but instead of hitting your opponent the axe will swing the robot up and all you hit is air. That stupid Newton guy again with its laws of action and reaction. A flipper has less problems with that since the opposite reaction is directed to the floor, which doesnt usually move.

the axe is shaped like Hydras from robot wars series 7.

The Cyriliums axe comes down with over 2500kgs of force does not apply anymore.

Therefore, I am now in the great ast last.

Hydra and Killerhurtz use 2 totaly different systems of powering the axe, which one is it?
