Looking good Jake! Can't wait to see it in action. Scoopy made a mess of Singularity's battery, who will be the first to complain when there IBC is stamped into the first lead plate of their batteries
Have you thought about testing it on something like some 5mm-10mm polycarb or some 3mm stainless steel yet?
we are making multiplle tips
a "lethal" and a "slightly less lethal" version
which will hopefully mean we can compete against everybody without worrying too much about putting a hole through their IBC first shot first round of the day.
course against bots where there is signifitant lethality present against us (no... i'm not looking at nick while i'm saying that) well we might not have the luxury of a non-lethal response ;->
we'll wait untill we have the propper armor peircing tips and the like before we go about testing it against tougher stuff, and get it into a more final form, hopefully the tweaks should net us around 20-40% more performance (at any power)
on a good note it looks so far like the final version wont destroy itself much at all.. *bonus*

Are you going to try something like a tungsten punch tip? You could make up several shaped ones, like a star shaped one, a triangle and for the ladies a love heart shaped one, so you can put custom air holes in peoples robots for them at no extra expense _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

how much would you charge to put "speed holes" in my robot? _________________ The Engine Whisperer

doing some back of the envelope calculations
at its current energy level we are roughly equivilent to what you would use to hunt light big game (think person sized)
at operating power with optimisations we are at large game levels (800 pound, buffalo kinda thing)
at max design press we are at large thick skinned dangerous game levels (elephent etc)
and at burst pressure we excede that quite nicley ;->

Joking aside that a very impressive ram you have there, Jake. It kinda looks big for a featherweight though? _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

you fall into our "overly lethal" range
you qualify for some (not so) small holes ;->
