...I have to come in here and air my (and some other peoples') concerns about V'Ger I'm afraid...

Firstly, it worries me that you appear to be using other peoples' designs with the intention of trying to be successful with a set of your typical stats when it has a famous name and pedigree behind it. May I remind you that we do read the stats and although you may well win with a design based on a successful line and not created by yourself originally, you a) will find it a much better honour to have won with an entirely original design and b) you, as Kody would say, 'ain't gonna win with your carppy stats' - the statistics of the robot still need to be realistic and more importantly good if you are to find success today.

Secondly, I had to do a bit of research on your choice of battery packs because I do actually know about and have used LiPos (they have some drawbacks, exceeding the discharge rate of the pack will cause it to explode, burst into flame, or do any one of a number of other interesting things, and if you drain them too much they will die and be unusable) and I found http://www.robotmarketplace.com/product ... -10SX.html as an example of the packs you're using...I feel I must warn you that with the peak currents of your motors it would be *possible* for the current drawn by all your motors to exceed 500A at one moment, which is the limit of a pair of those packs in parallel, and therefore it would actually be plausible if it burst into flames randomly at some point.

For the third and fourth points I shall quote Dave Weston:

When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*10ah of batteries wouldn't supply 2 weapons and 2 Lem 130's for drive
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*well those stats are just mad
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*it wouldn't supply the power, and the motor weights alone would likely be too much with everything else in there
Joey says:
*Would you be alright if I posted those and quoted you on that?
When the rich wage war, its the poor who die says:
*Ok
...while I'm here I might as well enter Drive and Nidhogg (that is cubed) please :P
