I really like that thing. Would you be able to attach a kind of trapezium-shaped panel onto the front of the flipper, so you could have a wider area to get under the opponent with, or perhaps get under the opponent while spinning?

i can get under while ramming

You still need the Anti-Face-Plant^TM stuff

really? (I'm kidding, I believe you)

But you still could add wedgelets on the front to help get under stuff.

got some nice rectangles of hardox so i may make wedges out of them

Although I find this quite difficult to believe, I can understand if you don't want to add stabilising things. If you could perhaps make a video of Murphy's Law lifting something of equivelant weight to itself and remaining stable, then I'd be fairly happy with it.

That sounds okay. Good luck to you, hopefully it'll be a bit less temperamental than last time. =)

That arm's a little to long for me, but then again I'm picky :P

I do thing shortening and a ripper-bucket would work well as someone mentioned on the FRA

video of lifing and trying to drive in a straight line

It can lift Mechanoia's frame? WIN.

EDIT: Oh and congrats on getting a new subscriber!

thanks

Oh and your Antweight spinner, (which I like to call The DominANT Ruler, thought it up in 5 seconds, don't judge me :P) how did that go? And how powerful is full speed? Because it looks like you haven't put it on full speed in any of the videos.

Oh and are you called Team Combat Penguin by any chance? :P

haz · « **Reply #554 on:** September 24, 2011, 11:38:10 AM »

hmm how did it go? well i'll let you know tomorow night after its fought with a sh**ty video. the reason i havent had it on full speed is because i have lost my 4mm polycarbonate antweight spinner arena (probably in my other trousers) and its quite scary. it took nice chunks out of 6mm hdpe on 30% throttle though, and wrecked some 1mm aluminum

Can I borrow it? Someone at school thinks it's funny to hit people with metal rulers from the DT department, so I wanna show him how to really hit someone with a ruler...

better yet i'll find the picture of when it cut my finger (quite badly)

smashysmashy · « **Reply #557 on:** September 24, 2011, 11:50:32 AM »

Ouch.. how on Earth did you manage that? Did the controller malfunction or something?

haz · « **Reply #558 on:** September 24, 2011, 11:52:39 AM »

went to unplug the battery and lent on the throttle

took a nice bit out of my index finger and broke the side of the nail luckly it was at the end of my finger so i just pulled it off

Murphy's Law looks pretty good. I lol'd when it fell onto the grass twice. But at least it works.

Just out of interest, how heavy is the frame on Metanoia? Because I did mention that I felt it would tilt forward like that when lifting something of at least equal weight.
