The way its designed running at a lower pressure means it'll be totally crap. IE it would be lucky to scratch another bot.
If I put it into a lifter it would either smash the lifter, or suck.
Its all really designed about getting the V2 part of the KE equation. Its doing around 500km/h (in theory, so probably half that) at its peak velocity, before the air spring kicks in.
I'm pondering a razor clone, anybody seen any feather sized hydraulic pumps? _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

A hydraulic steering pump is generally pretty tiny, and can be had cheap, just attach motor. Some cars also have hydro pumps for the radiator fan (IE. Lexus).
Even better possibly is a pump from a boat outboard tilt mechanism, they usually have integral 12v motors.

PresseR, from team PCP, uses a customised Vivoil size 0 pump of 0.25cc.
