Thread: heavyweight ram bots?

  1. #11
    i didnt think it could be done, was just a consept in my head

  2. #12
    probably could be done it depends on the weight of the other stuff you're using in it. isn't kronic 4wd?

  3. #13
    thinking of it, ye it is, an invertable 4wd merlin style heavyweight, got a load of push and the OOTA factor

    why not have 2 motors and have chain drive powering all 4 wheels?
    anyway yeah, there is still a place, probably not UK champion material but can be effective if there not massively slow like the original Mythras

    what was the kind of system i was thinking of, and having a large flipper would be good to get bots out, being invertable if the flipper dont work anf you can run from danger them self right. also, 4wd so you can push other bots to the edge to flip them and can ge a ram bot when the gas has run out

    typhoon was 4wd (1 motor per wheel) and had half the robot's weight in the disc. So yes it's entirely possibly to have a 4wd heavyweight and have a weapon too.

    How much money do you have for this? Sounds pretty 'pie in the sky'

    This is all very much theory right now, would be something that I would like to do but I have no idea if I can do it. It was a very faint idea when I posted it and still is all very much up in the air right now

    Ye, so it is Poe in the sky right now. Will try and look at costing etc and see whats possible. I'll have to get the sizing of toxic and draw up plans from that

    that things would i need to shave off?
    There is one in the Netherlands. One that tries to have it all. Hammerhead 3. Hardox 450 1/8 monocoque construction, 4wd on cart-tyres with 2 Mag S28-400 motors , Giant 140mm bore 120mm stroke ram (1 of the 3 made by Kos-Tough As Nails) and 4 kg of CO2 on board.
    But alas, the changed rules (no more consumables, meaning the machine is overweight) and changing interests made the roboteer who has build this drop out of sight.
