The Crash & Burn Tournament: The Dual Duels

[knightrous]

Oooh... Someones been playing with Flamingo :P

Ill get some vapourbots sorted out in the next few months...

Looking good...those look more like flywheels than angle grinders though :P

Me: Yes, there are angle grinders in the arena, along the wall of each wall, but not those crappy ones in Robot Wars that didnt do damage. . The discs are 25kg and have 2 7.5kg hardox teeth to destroy with. They spin at 1250rpm and dish out about 50kJ a hit.

:P

How about Team Simpsons?

Thats not an angle grinder then :wink:.

All right, and in your view what EXACTLY is an angle grinder? A disc that spins at 0rpm? Because thats what it looks like in RW. :P

Shape: Circle

Dont you mean cylinder? Also those dimensions seem quite compact...:wink:

Just a helpful pointer.

[kodster]

Oh, and Aaron...no offense, but I am kind of hoping to get this whole thing kicked off within a few weeks, so maybe if you could have those new vapourbots planned for C&B3, thatd be great, but for now, would it be possible to enter some of your older designs if you havent got new ones up yet?

[knightrous]

Angle grinders use abrasion cutting wheels, and cut by friction. They have no teeth as such. All the sparks are actually fragments of metal flying from the cut.
