CALLING ALL ENGINEERS!

I'm looking for data on the following:

1. Energy required to puncture different thicknesses of common armor materials: UHMW, Polycarbonate, 6061-T6 aluminum, mild steel, hardened steel, titanium.  Am I missing any?  We are looking to cover beetleweights, featherweights, lightweights, and heavyweights.

2. Rated speed (based on motor kV) vs measured speed of bar spinners, drum spinners.

If you have access to equipment to do some testing, or know of good resources for the above, please post them here!

PS - Do we have any Robot Wars/Robogames/Battlebots competitors in the crowd?  It would be nice to get some real-world quantitative and qualitative data from the heavier weight classes.
Sorry, I have no Idea, but I thought, that you were doing some stuff with the TR2 team and team Shock. Maybe they can help.

Nice!  I’ve been looking at Huge’s use of plastic and trying to wrap my head around how to do that.

Nice!  I’ve been using this the past few days to check the numbers in-game.  The big thing that is missing here is air drag.  That’s why I was wondering if anyone has real performance data that we could use for improving the model.

Woohoo!  We just got permission to put Motenergy motors in the game!

Coming soon: the Motenergy 0708!

Now people can build proper Last Rites replicas!

Hopefully.  If not the actual 3D model, at least a cylinder of the appropriate dimensions that you can hook up and power stuff.  We are working on the full 3D model now, but the full visual representation might need to wait until the next build.

Oh, cool! I guess just a flat cylinder would be ok, too. Will the new House robot, you showed off be in the game?

Faust is still in the works and hasn’t been tested yet, so it won’t make it into the game for this build.  Soon though!

Absolutely!

PS, I fully expect that your version is going to be much cooler looking than mine.  No pressure.
