You know Razer with the crushing claw??

How does it work?? Is it hydraulic??

Where can you get one of the motors or what ever it uses to create 10 tons of crushing pressure (keeping in mind it must be quite small)??

Cheers

It had ten tonnes of crushability on the end of its "beak"
It had about eight mini rams inside which enabled it to do it.
does anyone know what happened to it last year and will there be a Robot Wars thius year ?

http://www.razer.co.uk/

have a look here.

I expect it's done with hydraulics and the point pressure is that high.

Lovely piece of engineering though.
