The Destructobot For The Man With Everything

bewert writes: "Heavy duty metal-ripping hardware is going up for auction on E-Bay next week. The "Son of Wyachi", winner of the Heavyweight Championship on Comedy Central's BattleBots, will be auctioned on E-Bay. The inventor, Terry Ewert, practiced on old washing machines while developing S-W's triple rotating metal meat grinder apparatus. With a 12 hp. electic motor driving three hardened tool steel meat tenderizer points spinning at 71 mph, Son of Wyachi quickly renders most objects into smoking ruins. A must have for your next Halloween bash!" Auction aside, this is a scary robot. Do not use near kids, pets, or anything you like intact.

RPM's

According to the specs:

71 mph * 5280 ft/m = 374880 fph
374880 fph / 60 m/h = 6248 feet per minute

The diameter of the rotor assembly is 5 ft, and thus the circumference is 5 * pi = 15.708 ft

Therefore 6248 fpm / 15.708 ft = 397.759 RPM

These aren't robots

These are radio controlled cars.

If the machines had to be totally autonomous, now that would be interesting.
