which?

Which rammer? Theres several for you to choose from, boxy ones, pointy ones, wedgie ones

In all seriousness (and at the risk of looking stupid by being rational), Id advise you just get two drill motors or even wiper ones and get a rolling chassis of some sort together to confirm that you can actually build something before starting on the robot proper, itd save you quite a bit in parts youd buy and then realise you couldnt use.
Do a bit more research into these things as well, thread archives are there for a reason...if you do your research on things like motors and robot designs rather than just asking the most obvious of questions, you endear yourself to people more and they become a lot more willing to help you

thinking of using 2mm diamond plate as armour

What are you on about? Like Kody said, think about a simple design with as few moving parts as possible. The more complex your design the harder it will be to get it to work and the more there is to go wrong. People on here are always willing to help, just ask sensible questions.

no I mean which crushers

Venom, and another one is being built by (?) the Psycho Fling Team

There is also dragonclaw that tony built.

Ben and Ed: I think diamond plate means that patterned aliminum used for things like outside stairs

lol Clive, MD doesnt quite make the FW weight limit. Dave got it, checker or tread plate. I just cut up 5 2500x2000 of 7.5mm last week.
