* SURS - Spin Up Reduction System, sliding weights integrated into spinning weapon, spring loaded towards center mass to maintain greater weapon weight(kinetic energy) while reducing spin up time by tuning the sliding weights by operating RPM(the higher the RPM required to move the sliding weights, the quicker the spin up) |
¹ HK - High Kinetic energy, weapon system 1/2+ of total weight, slower spinup, heavy impact - Nightmare |
² LK - Low Kinetic energy, weapon system less than 1/2 of total weight, quick spin up, smaller impact |
³ HP - High Pressure pneumatic, damage oriented - The Judge, basically anything from Inertia Labs |
⁴ LP - Low Pressure pneumatic, point/control oriented - |
⁵ SE - Stored Energy, spring loaded weapon for example |
i swear to god i wonder why ry hasn't been given vet rank yet.Because his last post was 11 years ago and was basically forgotten. Moreover, rank updates are always done in batches unless it's for staff. So swearing to god won't do much when you don't have common sense.

Well my last post most certainly wasn't from 11 years ago, it was actually from some time last year when I made a generic "remember me" thread where a few of us old folk popped up to talk about being old. There were a few heres and theres before that as well(curiosity about RA3, followed by complete & utter disappointment just like everyone else), I've made a handful of posts a year for the past however many years, though, where those posts have went, I don't know.i swear to god i wonder why ry hasn't been given vet rank yet.Because his last post was 11 years ago and was basically forgotten.

jesus **** someone's not screwing around, if you manage to follow that i'm pretty sure you'd be managing to do some pretty good sh**, also IRL Unlimited Limits => YESI should probably clarify that this isn't an 'all or nothing' kind of list or build philosophy. We likely won't consider even ordering parts for 3 months, 6 months, some short-mid term period of time(gotta build up funds, come up with a rock solid game plan to minimize waste since sponsorship isn't a legitimate hope compared to the 'golden era' of robot combat, putting a few ideas together in CAD and settling on a design, so on and so forth), and, whenever we get around to putting actual tools to material, it's probable that I'll break some of my own rules here. For example, the first build probably won't feature individual modular assemblies of components(all batteries mounted together with a single quick connect to the other assemblies, the electronics on their own module with single quick connect, drivetrain in their own modules, etc.), even though that's something that I believe is pretty critical in today's competition to maintaining consistent performance over multiple violent rounds(it's incredible how much more powerful & destructive today's robots are; who knew that the kinetic energy of Ziggo would become almost standard!).

Nothing to do with the thread but I find this genuinely amazing. We just need Dino Venger to come back, now.
Would be interested to hear your take on the increasing usage of plastics in combat robots!Warning you now: you brought this text wall on yourself!
