How could I Improve pt 2

The M40 cannot supply 14 tonnes of force on 2500PSI anyway. the bore of that ram is 40mm so at 172Bar (2500psi) gives 21893.30214 Newtons of force. Thats about 2234 kg or 2.23 Tonnes of force. To achieve 14 tonnes of force on a 40mm bore ram you would need 16170 PSI of pressure.

Robot Name: Sergeant Slaughter
Shape: An elongated pyramid with a very shallow front (like Gabriel II ) and a wedged rear that is angled at 42*
Weight: 100kg
Length: 90cm
Width: 85cm
Height: 20cm
Motivation: 2 x aluminium wheels with vulcanised foam-filled tyres, internally mounted at the rear. It also has a ball castor in the middle of the front point to aid mobility
Drive: 2 x S28-400 magmotors powered by 2 x NiCad battlepacks
Armour: 3.25mm hardox all over the top, 4mm aluminium on the base
Weaponry: A 2D Razer-style crushing beak made of titanium/vanadium alloy with a serrated underside. It is drilled with speed holes and powered by hydraulics from a vivoil pump at 3000psi to give 9 tonnes of pressure at the ram and 4.5 at the tip
Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 0 at the front, 8mm at sides and rear
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: On the sides of the crusher there are two Razer-style wings that operate via steel cables joined to the crusher, should right the robot in about 1.5 seconds
Colour: Gold with a red crusher and sapphire self-righting wings
Strengths: Powerful weapon
Weaknesses: Comparatively slow self-righting, ground clearance

A couple of questions:

What do you mean with a 2D Razer-style crushing beak? As in flat?
What powers the pump?

What I mean by 2D is kind of like Tiberius (do you know what I mean?).

As for what powers the pump, I dont know what you mean

I wouldnt exactly call the beak of Tiberius 2D. What would be 3D then?

Last time I checked Vivoil or any other pump for that matter need a motor to work them, unless you have very well trained squirrels.

In any case, 2 battery packs would not be sufficient to run 2 S28-400s and the motor for the pump.

3D would be Razer, so I guess it would be better just to say the crusher has very thin?

Good luck running a M40 on 12 volts

After 10 minutes of searching I found what I was looking for, damn companies which get taken over and their product range renamed
