Cheers for replies lads, Managed to get back around to where I was and actually made me rethink the design aspect. Created few "snap" points so dont have to use brackets etc. Things happen for a reason.

My first robot was a h/w , didn't mess about !
Feathers are easy and fun too.

Build something basic for a first build so you don't get fed up and jack it in. My build thread is full of rubbished bodged robots for inspiration. The last one I made even got to the final rounds of the UK champs.

Dont give up! A 12 year old me promised id build a robot for robot wars.. im 30 now haha! But, im close to building something!

Same with me, i built my first one aged 13/14 (cant remember exactly), I always said i will have a robot one day.. Im 30 now and im closer than i ever was!

You just need a lot of time and dedication, as most people will write you off before you even begin!

It's in its angst teenage years now and is defying my rules, playing loud music and wearing ridiculous colours. Just waiting for it to come back drunk from its first house party

Sounds like one bad ass robot

Why do you make my shiny metal baby dress like some neon fueled scene rave bunny?

Also kinda a weird thought but just out of curiosity does anyone use tie-wraps to connect all armour together instead of welding, screw & brackets and all other ways?

Need help with welding?

As per wanting to keep all under one thread heres the next bit im stuck at....How to support the opposing side lifting arm so all the strain isnt on the servo as such.......seems so simple but cant seem to get the answer in my head?!?!? Theres beams going across further down but like something to support the back end :/

I can confirm that the Banebots wheels fit onto Ranglebox motors, so long as you have the correct hubs. It's what I use on Flatulence and now Spin Cycle.
