Paul, sorry, didnt quit read your question about Nitro-Gene being overweight

I dont have the time to do a weight check atm but I kinda feel youd be better of with 4 mm of Hardox, drawing experience from my calculations on Shovearound.

Is there anybody else with thoughts on this?

[kodster]

Ditch 2 of the drive LEMs and shave the hardox off by about 2mm everywhere.

Thats what Id say. :wink:

Id say its overweight. Too many LEMs, Hardox is too thick and another issue I have actually had to spend a bit of time researching into. The nitrogen system in NitroGene is going to make the robot bigger then the stated dimensions.

Well, Im running plans to see what I can do to make Nitro-Gene 4.0 in weight, but incase I forget, (as is my reputation :wink, Ill enter a robot I already know is inside the weight limit:

TRI-TAINIUM

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox for the back/scoop. The top and bottom panels are 5mm Titanium and the sloped sides are 6mm Hardox to sheild the wheels.

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with a front scoop (the scoop has a slight dip in it to help get under other robots better) and sloped sides.

€ MOTORS: 2 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 18HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 60CM (H) 20CM (W) 60CM

€ COLOUR: Unpainted, with the exception of the name on top written in black paint.

€ WEAPONRY: The weaponry consists of 3 x 9kg discs, made out of 1cm of Titanium with 3 Hardox bludgening teeth. The discs are set on the same axle, and amounted deep into the scoop, with the teeth just reaching towards the lip of the scoop, so the uppercut movement of the discs can attack base-panels and the like. The discs are powered by 2 x LEM130s at 36V. Set on a ratio of 5:1, it gives off 3500rpm. The discs, combined together make 27kg, so the force given out is 165kj per hit! Large amounts of Rubber amounted behind the scoop stops the risk of self-destruction.

€ SPEED: 18mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-1CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the sides/rear, its 1cm.

€ STRENGTH: Weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: Completely new design.

LEM130s have a Kv of 150, @ 36v that is 5400RPM, so with the 5:1 gearing, your discs will only be doing ~1000RPM...

[paulc]

The ratio will then be 3:1 then.

[knightrous]

1800RPM?
