Testing of Middleweight Typhoon
- Initially very difficult to control
- Would not start off in straight line
- Very sensitive controls
- How do we know which is the front?
- Gradual improvements to control system
- Driver competition - all cadets have a go
- Traffic cones simulate enemy robots
- Short list of 6 cadets get more training in driving and interview
techniques
- Weapon spin up
- Will dynamic imbalance cause it to self destruct?
- 600 rpm seems OK
- 1000 rpm - Wow! that is 100mph and 18 kilo joules of kinetic
energy
- Oil drum attacked and sliced open
- Will it get flipped over?
