With planned armor it will weigh an anorexic 24lbs (10.8kg).

Will it also fall onto its side comically each fight yet somehow make it back up again?

Now that I can see it...

Phoenix looks sweet. I love it. Planning to rival Upheaval? :P

Phoenix with armor mounts mounted

Ice Cube style plow for DoorStop

1/8" thick chromoly, weighs about 3.5lbs

Awesomeness

Looks pretty good like that. I might not have perfectly vertical sides in case it gets high-centered, though.

2,700lbs of thrust

That's a lot of thrust. Should be very powerful.

It should flip other bots about 3-6 feet in the air, oh and it will lift a car. (I haven't tried it yet because I can't find anyone who's willing to let me try it on their car)

I did, the plow that I posted at the top of the page can also be mounted on Phoenix. I also came up with stupidly simple anti crusher armor that isn't worthy of a picture.

That's amazing. Mega bonus points go to you for being able to take the time and effort to making something like that. =)

Looks awesome, I'm only worried about the seemingly fragile stuff at the back a bit.

Hope you can drive well :)

Vertigo · « **Reply #97 on:** August 27, 2011, 03:22:35 AM »

Looks nice, still a little concerned about the lack of a buffer tank

What motors are you using in there?

Two 550's @18v with a 36:1 reduction, the same motors I use in my other "big bots".

The only slightly fragile thing is the "tail" at the back of the bot. (The flipper piviot mount is TI) The tail is only there to keep the bot from doing a backflip when it misses a flip.

So I have some sad news to report. My source of drive motors (Harbor Freight 18v drill motors) dried up. I don't have any spares so as of now I have no way of maintaining three robots through one event so currently I'm debating about pulling Shish, and DoorStop and only running Phoenix unless I can find some replacements. I don't have money for dewalts or banebots gearboxes so don't suggest them.

Stats I'm looking for for the motors are 550 RPM after the gearbox, 18v, size RS550 motor, single speed

The motors looked like this and the drills looked like this if you see anything like that drill in a store PM me with the details; brand, store, ect.
