How could I Improve pt 2

Random question: Would Extreme Gyration at least kill its opponent before it died?

My attempt at something good

[attachment=0:2r7uu944]All Bar One.png[/attachment:2r7uu944]

Name: All Bar One

Weight: 100 kg

Shape: A very wide paralelogram wedge

Colour: Battleship Grey

Dimensions: 33cm * 110 cm * 15 cm

Drive: 2 * LEM 130 (95S) on 48 V with 6 * 15 cell A123 ANR26650M1 battery packs

Locomotion: 2* 15cm diameter 5cm wide titanium hubbed wheels covered in urethane rubber

Armour: 7mm hardox on the wedges, 5mm hardox top and bottom, 10mm hardox on the ends and heavy shock proofing to protect vital components

Speed: 29mph

Ground Clearance: 0mm at the wedges, varies along the sides to 5mm at the back although technically more due to inverted wedge

Turning Circle: 0 cm

Weapon: Translational spinner and rammer dishing out 8.4 KJ when top speed ramming

While spinning:

18.2 KJ @ 500 rpm
73.1 KJ @ 1000 rpm

(now it might kill itself)
164.5 KJ @ 1500 rpm
292.5 KJ @ 2000 rpm

Srimech: Invertible

Notes: A bar shaped translational spinner that can ram if stopped spinning due to it having two wheel drive

Looks great to me - but you probably actually know better than I do!

The only thing I do notice is that the robot is 15cm high and the wheels are 15cm in diameter, yet the robot has a ground clearance of 5mm. Surely if the wheels are as high as the robot there would be no clearance? Or am I just being a bit dull and missing something

**daliad100** · 30th October 2009, 10:31

I included wheels in the robots overall height for some reason

Note to self: never try to work in decimetres again.

That is actually a fantastic first attempt, although I'm hardly a translational spinner expert I've been staring at it for a while and can't find anything really majorly wrong with it

you might have some trouble getting the centre completely hollow, but you should still be able to get most of the weight distributed at the ends (the 10mm end plates will help there) and if my memory is correct regarding the voltage of individual A123 cells, you'd actually get 49.5 volts from your packs rather than 48...still a very good and well thought out design though, you should be pleased with yourself.

I don't suppose you use MSN do you?

this is just a random idea ive got

is it possible to do a robot aquiring

e.g i take control of a bot that the specific person doesnt use any more with there permission

Yes I do, my MSN is on my profile.

I guess it's possible... If you want some of my retired bots, I'm willing to talk with you about it...
