Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls

Then its whatever ratio will give me 3500rpm!

[majinb]

3:2 would do 3600 rpm

[majinb]

3:2 would do 3600 rpm

Lol... Its not hard to do the maths.

motor speed / desired speed = gear ratio

5400 / 3600 = 1.5

Gear ratio is 1.5:1

Ive been looking at the arena again, and I was wondering, if both robots ended up out of the arena at more or less the same time, would the fight carry on in the perimeter area, or would the fight be judged on who initiated the OOTA?

EDIT: Actually looking at the KO rules answers that. But what if both robots cant get back into the arena in the 30 seconds?

Thanks for the help Aaron.

[majinb]

eeps, sorry, I see I made a mistake in the arena-stats

the sloped walls make a 60 degree angle with the floor, not 30 :blush:

[majinb]

o come on guys, dont make the signups stop at 14, thatd be so humiliating

I think Ill make another change of robot. Sorry about this sudden change of thing, but I think itll suite.

WORCK - Written as Worck :wink:

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox for the body and flipper. 6mm Hardox for the scoop. There are wedges on the sides and rear of Worck made of 3.25mm Hardox.

€ SHAPE: A low wedge shape.

€ MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 70CM (H) 13CM (W) 70CM

€ COLOUR: Black for the flipper and barbs, white for the body.

€ WEAPONRY: A forward hindged flipper, running on a single 750psi ram running on CO2. The gas is contained in 2 x 5kg bottles, giving me 40 flips per fight, and the gearing on the ram 3:1 means we have 1300kg of flipping force! That should mean on a forward hindged flipper that I can flip almost everything OOTA.

€ SPEED: 13mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: The wedges make the ground clearance effectively zero, but underneath the wedges is 5mm of clearance. The wedges are held on

€ STRENGTH: Near impossible to get under.

€ WEAKNESS: Low speeds.

By the way, Martijn, if no-one else enters, try entering some realies.

yes I can do that, but I KNOW there are at least two people out there... Matty, Martyn, Richard, Samuel... did I forget someone?
