We cannot measure it with the equiptment we have, but it is estimated based on the actuator specs and leverage involved, at 1000kgs-1500kgs (2200lbs-3300lbs)
The full capability of the actuator is not used, as Tony wants the extra speed, but he could easily double the power with the existing setup, but it will mean the arm moves slower.
true, but a PC is a good way of testing this sort of weapon, as this type of old PC case is pretty heavy and of good quality steel. It was more impressive it crushed all the structure underneath aswell, not may featherweight crushers can even get through the case! :)
Thanks for your comments though, maybe we should build a PC bot for a bit of fun :)
