Re: Advice/ideas on my design please

i dont really see the point in building a robot that will never enter competitions. if you just want experiance make a simple rambot.

Because the more complex this one is the more I will learn for my next one that I do want to enter competitions with :P

Which leads to hopefully being more reliable in battle

maybe but a disk is alot more complecated than is expected, as well as its dangerous.
you may as well make a robot that you will battle and get some experiance going to events.

Re: Advice/ideas on my design please

Flippers are quite hard to make for a first timer (as I discoverd) an they involve pnuematics.You could always make an electric lifter.

what weapons do most begginers use?

an axe is fairly simple to make (making one for my first robot), and only cost around £70. you can make a electric lifter if you wanted a flipper, it would be fairly simple i would think.

I would say that you should build a rambot (pusher) as they are simple and easer to make. My first robot was a rambot and my second robot is a rambot with the ability to add weopens later.

thats a good idea but he wants experiance with weapon systems, so it would be best to go for a simple axe or electric lifter.
