1: Traffic Warden could although the clamp would only be a few inches in at best.

Venus Fly Trap wouldnt work because there is simply too much weight on the front that you cannot compensate at the back.

2: a Lem 130 for the pump at 36V on traffic Warden.

Marti to the rescue!

please note the black... bits on the left and right hand side, theyre mounted stiffly on the main body, and I reckon with extensions like that the weapon WILL work without toppling over

[leorcc]

It would, but then you would need to make those extensions longer. And they would be pretty vunerable.

Properly designed DC motors all work the same way, this page describes them very well

http://micromouse.cannock.ac.uk/motors/motorequations.htmhttp://micromouse.cannock.ac.uk/moto...requations.htm

Basically maximum motor output power is at half the no-load speed, without a massive amount of cooling all high power motors will go up in smoke after a few seconds at that rate. If you know the rpm/volt and DC resistance of the motor then you can calculate the maximum power output you can get, usually alot less than people here think.

Thanks Mark, very useful site.

The teeth reached out 6cm, and are bent at the end to come down to a high of 8cmSo, in other words, they only bend down 2cm? Flippers would love that. Also, I dont think you need the 10mm top plating if you have a disc on top of it.

Other than that, good.
