There is the "Raptor " class of 6 kg.

The Hannibalito's have a theoretical top speed over 17mph, but we limit the stick between 25 (German arena) and 60% (XFM arena with very grippy floor) for "normal" movement. Meaning 10 mph as avarage.

A good aim is 12-15 mph for "weaponed" machines, and 15-20 mph for rammers.

How many amps does a drill motor pull. Depends on brand, size, type and voltage. There are some cheap brands that I messured at 100 A+ in stall. And motors from the same brand and type of battery drill machine at 40 amps stall. It seems, if you want to be sure, you'll have to messure every motor sep...

Our workshop is the living room.

A 1mm 2*1 meter Macrolon sheet costs about ?16 with my supplier.

Just to mention that the DRG plans a clubday, with Full combat possibilities for feathers, sunday June 29th.
Possible interested people, PM me for the location. Unfortunatly in far away Holland.

The treads in the HDPE will fail soon. It's just to soft and flexible.

We solve that by welding it.

.21N/mm isn't a lot.

Even if the springs have a complete travel of 50mm (rather impossible with your machine), you have an absorbsion of 4*.21*50m = 42N

For example, the force delivered by Hannibalito I trough the flipper is 3950N

The only suitable sized ones I know off are the Sevcons. (Team Wyachi relabels those)

Our supply of brand new, non offcut sheet HDPE is still accessible.

It's what Team RCC prefers to Polycarb, just to mention it.

So, Simon if you need sheets of light and tough stuff at Hemel Hempstead or the FRA champs, just say so.
