Just because youll hit the other robot, doesnt mean youll destroy it Martijn. Here is a video I prepared earlier:

Suicide is not a tactic...

4 x S28-400 Magmotor isnt actually lighter then 2 x LEM130s. The saving is in the batteries. Your two LEMs on 48v will need 12.8KG of 3600 NiCD batteries, 36v youll need 9.6KG. On 24v the Magmotor makes more power them the LEM130 (1.5Kw) anyway :P You can run 4 x S28-400s on 4.8KG of batteries (24v x 3 Packs). This is basically the drive train of Devils Plunger (Sewer Snakes little brother), so I know its effective, having watched DP push a superheavyweight around Video below:

okaydokay Aaron, the batteries is were I went wrong on the rambot, thanks for the help there

as for the spinner, Ill still be aiming for an energy output somewhere roughly between the 500 and 750 kJ, since the concept of the bot is that part 1 of the cluster makes up for the high spin-up time of part 2

meh, this is my first new vapour in over a year, so take that as my excuse thanks again for the help Aaron

Since Martijn is entering a Clusterbot, and since there arent many of them, I didnt bother to write rules for them, and Im going to leave it to the readers of this thread to vote.

Do you think that when 1 of the 2 parts is dead, the whole robot is dead or it should still be allowed to continue fight?

By the way, I still need more robots.

[majinb]

Paul, Im affraid people might be a bit biased here

me, as the one entering the clusterbot, OF COURSE vote for the option where the ENTIRE bot has to be out, rather than one part

in my own tournament, Mechanical Noise, I use the rule that when the parts that are out equal 50% or more of the total clusterbots mass, the entire bot is out

so really, I vote for all parts have to be out, but I can PERFECTLY understand everyone else doing otherwise

[paulc]

There are plenty of spots left, but if you can get your entries in quite soon, Ill be very happy.

[leorcc]

Cant I take all of my reallies and 2 of my vapours?

[paulc]

Who are your realies and vapourbots? Sorry, I just dont know much about them.
