	H.. it's not usable... Fuck, if I even got enough power to it, with A-T like this I'd wreck it and probably his body too. ... But it's there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Carefully reroutes the power feed, calibrating for his slightly uneven balance as she goes.]

. . . for now, it's best . . . if it sleeps. This resistor . . . it can dampen the response unless your power is at max.

. . . once you override it, the rest won't hold. Recoil from the brake lock . . . it's too much. If . . . see the holding pins? We can direct it there, but . . .

Even if the other parts can be reused, they'll be in pieces before your wheels touch the ground.

	... Best case scenario at that. [It's a long moment, staring at the parts surrounding the grinning break and release system.] Yeah, no change of plans, lets see what we can do with the rest of the A-T. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nods, and . . . that breath of a sigh might almost have been a quiet 'I'm sorry' as she tweaks the last relay, cutting all but basic functioning from the regalia.] The rest . . . for beginner A-T, it's not so bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2010-07-10 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	It's just that a beginner A-T is fucking horrible... How much is safe to route from the lateral engines and put into the air cushion system? At this point, I don't give a shit about top running speed, there's no fucking straightaways around here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2010-07-10 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	Probably . . . about 22%. And if you cut the speed . . . we can increase the sensitivity of the rear stabilizers by switching these gears, here. That way, even if the output is lower, the cornering momentum . . . you can use that to compensate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roadtothesky 2010-07-10 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	If they were Agito's A-T . . . mm. Tighter would be good. But . . . feel this here? The diameter of that part . . . it's half a millimetre too wide. When it expands, as you run . . . that tightens too. A bit more loose, and it won't grind so much, when they accelerate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
