The Chevron Championship

[paulc]

Well - here I am! After another heat Final, and I feel condifent. I think the only changes Trax has had is those Vulkalon patches, but hes still got the same drive motors. Those motors only produce 8hp in total - I produce 18hp in total. So therefore I have more. Just get around his sides and push him around like in Series 7, until it goes to the JD.

In the other match, I expect Sheer Heart Attack to bash up SOR HEX to win.

Good luck Shane :wink:

Awesome stuff, Joey.

Son of Ripper Hex vs. Sheer Heart Attack 2

Bad draw for SoR here.

Storm II vs. Trax

Trax is a good machine, but all the same I still feel that Storm II will get by in a judges decision.

just my thoughts........a 100kg robot can only produce so much down force so getting power to the wheels like 18 horse power will make the wheels spin. if the robot weighed 300kg you would get more power to the floor. my personal opinion is that 18hp is a bit of a waste cos you cant get the power to the floor. in a tug of war i doubt there will be much difference. not taking anything away from storm 2 tho a very powerful robot but its the speed of it not the 18hp that does the job. mabee i am totally wrong and someone will no doubt put me right.

[swanaldo]

oh and yes its luck i will need. good luck too paul.

Youre spot on Shane, but then again 18hp is something to brag about. I had it in RCC1, and in Warzone, 2 9hp startermotors for drive. They drained a 40Ah SLA in 5 mins.

Trax vs Storm 2? Now, where have we seen THAT fight before? :wink:

[swanaldo]

i did actually enjoy that fight, even tho we had no grip we survived a pounding. there was a lot more than is shown on tv too. very proud of trax to drive it out.

[leorcc]

Trax was a fun robot, wish you still had it.

Joey, considering you let me go through with a redesign of Macduff the 3rd during Heat A (Macduffs heat was the next one after), would you let me do the same with Shadow Zone Returns, seeing as it hasnt fought yet and that I updated it a little while ago?

Yep, thats perfectly fine.

Sorry for the delays in the fights by the way, I havent felt like writing much, so normal service will probably resume tomorrow.
