Tecumseh in the Pits at RW4.
|
The 13hp Engine. Tecumseh in the pits at Robot Wars 4 (2000). It was not entered as it was slow with the added weight. |
The New Engine.
 |
The 13hp Engine. At Technogames the robot was underpowered. We have upgraded to 13hp, electric start. |
Weapon Number 1.
The Saws
 |
The 5hp Engine. The original engine is to drive the 2 saw blades at 3000 rpm. |
 |
2 x 14" Saw Blades. Last seen on Barry. These will be mounted on a 4' arm. |
 |
2 x Linear Actuators These are 12 volt, 2000 Newtons. To be used for the X and Y of the arm. |
 |
The finished weapon. The blades are now fixed to the 1.5 metre boom. It runs permanantly at 3000 rpm. Scarry! |
 |
The second actuator will move the
arm sideways. It will be mounted on the front of Tecumseh. |
 |
The weapon fitted to Tecumseh. The blade does not move up or down. We had to scrap the actuators to save weight. |
 |
Plan view of weapon. The vertical piece of angle is for a Lexan cover |
 |
The engine is at the back and the
blade is out at the front. This is to maintain the balance, or the robot will not walk. |
 |
The two engines. 13 hp for the drive and 5 hp for the saws. |
Weapon Number 2
The Jaws.
 |
The new
jaws. The sharp end of a new weapon that we are developing. As used by Sgt. Bash and Sir Killalot. |
|
Linear Actuators These are 12 volt, 2000 Newtons. To be used for the X and Y of the arm. |
 |
The Hydraulic Power Pack This was last used on Gnasher with a pull cylinder. The new push cylinder gives 10 tons for 156 mm. |
| Current Status :- | We are waiting for parts to continue this weapon |
