How fast, how strong, how long?

[Wayne C.]

Now that we've all been at this for about three weeks and many have machine construction underway, I was wondering if any of you wish to share some stats on your latest creations.

I'll go first

speed- 6 ft/sec (low gear)

power- pushes over 500 lb dead weight (no wheels) easily- that's as far as we've tested today


How about you folks?

We've only been getting prototypes of the various sub-systems to work. No full assembly yet.

Man that sounds scary, 500 lbs dead weight? If you pin us could I ask you to stop pushing? I think you might crush our frame like an empty coke can!

[Anton Abaya]

can you post your motors on the drive train and perhaps some gear ratios? otherwise, this info is rather lacking.

ps. i can do 100++ft/sec and pull 1000++lbs. Just gimme a porshe engine.

We're lookin at 7 fps at high speed, push a lot less. On low drive train, 1 fps and it'll probably push the stadium award, I'll find out the numbers soon.

Hey Anton-

Sorry my post doesn't have all the info you want. I'll get it together and get back to you in a few weeks...

In the meantime- sans Porsche engines- how's the performance on other bots out there?

Just curious.

for iscrc2-

While we would never go out to "crush anyone like a Coke can" I am sure some robots will. We expect anumber of competitors with super powerful machines just like ours.

Pinning- not in the game plan per se. We may push around a few maybe, move a goal or two for sure. Nothing malicious though.

Better be prepared for both the best and the worst.

Hey- we're all going to have fun with this!

the rambots are going 12ft/sec and pull/push goals 4ft/sec-6ft/sec, that is, if it's built.
