Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!

[paulc]

How can it crush with a minimum of 80 tonnes? Im not arguing of how you can crush with a minimum or maximum weight, but its technically impossible to build a crusher that can crush 80 tonnes in a 100kg robot, let alone 130 tonnes!

And also, if youre going to say, Ill have 4 x 9hp motors, why are you then saying brushless DC motors, as Im positive that DCs dont give off 9hp - LEM 130s do, so Ill put them down instead.

Tim, if youre just going to drum up robots that are technically and fictionally impossible, your chances of even winning a round, let alone the tourny! S o please start acting seriously, and use grammer please - make your sentences easy to read - its straining to figure out what youre saying without you puting some grammer in.

look what you did Timmy, now nobody noticed my new vapourbot

and I advise you to type your stats in Microsoft Word Tim... but you now that, we gave you that advise in the how to improve-thread

[paulc]

Oh yes, Martijn

Your vapourbot is really good, and looks like an extremely competitive design. And Im sure loads of people have noticed, its just what Timmy comes up with sometimes overshadows the good things on this page.

Wow, Martijn! Extremely good clusterbot! (and one of my favourite U2 songs to boot )

[dogbot4000]

Umm paul type down Magmotors in google youll get it . Ok it can crush at 1 ton. No Im being serious it can crush at 10 tonnes. Paul, youre not Mr. Brilliant yourself ya know.

[paulc]

To be honest Timmy, NO-ONE is Mr. Brilliant, not even you, or me, or anyone on this planet. Having faults in our behaviour is what makes us US and not some idealistic, flawless being we can only dream of being. And so you saying Im not Mr. Brilliant is justifying our position as Human Beings

Dont start fights, I mean it, Im serious: do I have to call Frank in here?!

Martijn...

The clusterbot is a shocker Shame on you...

First half, the rammer. Your basically trying to compress Storm 2 + 20% more power into half the weight... Whats the weight break down on it?

Second half, the spinner. Youll never get to 20000rpm, wind resistances is too much. Your trying to spin too much weight. Because the bar is bigger then the robot (And heavier) it is more likely to spin the robot up instead of the bar... If it did get close to the 1000Kj mark (1/7th less then you stat) it would explode/self destruct the moment it touched anything. Youve spend way too much weight into the bar. 20KG is not enough weight to have a chassis, LEM130, enough batteries to power it and a magmotor drive (Even using S28-150) without it going chernobyl on itself...

Go a 10KG bar, and spend the remaining 20kg into making it strong enough to survive. The Rammer, drop the LEM130 and go 4 x S28-400s, make the robot lower 150mm and make it as compact as possible.

Argh... Cant believe I just spent 15mins ranting about a vapourbot

will reconstruct my design proces and post a weight breakdown later today

alright, thats a point

very true mr Knight, but thats the (somewhat onorthodox) point of the machine, giver and receiver die, part 1 of the cluster lives, I win

I know its quite an extreme tactic, but I really wanna give it a try

btw, are 4 S28-400s really lighter than 2 LEM130s?

You cant deny its a brilliant tactic

Just a few things, I have all of Kodys stats and plenty of reserved spots, but Id like to get them quickly filled up so I can get up the draw before too late - Ive just gone into the second term of Year 9, and Im choosing my options for later in life, so this might become secondary.

So I need robots from:

Martyn
Martijn (Tell me if youre planning to upgrade or just leave them be)
Kody (I have all his robots, I just need his stats)
AJ

So if you can get them done as soon as you can, that would be great.
