O.K. Yusuf.

So to aid us in helping you.
Could you please give a quick run down on your skills.... i.e. can you weld and have you access to welding gear etc...

Dont worry, trust me I know what Im doing, okay?

No sweat. But I also know what Im doing. I was pointing out a possible -but potentially quite serious- flaw in your design. You asked for experienced advice. You got it.

But Woody is right, we need to know first what you can do yourself. What mechanics, technical and/or electronics skills do you have ? Would you need the help of someone with a tool shed and machines ? (In Belgium my lifemate Mario and I actually open up our house for any roboteer who needs tools and a professional hand.)
Depending on what you can achieve by yourself we would recommend certain weaponry, a certain type of robot. And point you towards helpful people and give you advice. That is what you wanted no ?

I still LIKE your design. It has me all dreamy and tingly inside. But you have to be able to realize it.

it looks just like the robot i plan to build exept mine has 3 blades and 4 chainsaws

They look more like saws (which would be allowed, I guess) than kinetic discs. You cant really have that much weaponry and expect it to be effective or under the weight limit either.

Though drills are ineffective, what Id do would be to remove the discs and maybe the saw, keep the drills (as a sort of novelty), but use pushing power as the main weapon.

Itd be hilarious if there was a robot completely covered in drills, and it screws itself into the arena floor.

Jack are you still building this bot.......?

Oh yes, you could have some major developments on this, maybe then it would be more logical, what did you make that in?

And I agree with Dan, feather for the win for a first timer.

Perhaps you need more major design software, (I use 3ds MAX myself).I think that would help convey a better idea then bashing together images...

nono !
No designing software !

Just pile up the parts and start welding !

Hmm, are you sure? I thought that would be risky to try, considering its a first try, I would have thought it wiser to have a general ide of what it looks like, but your the roboteer, not me :P.

Well, it worked for me

it works for a load of roboteers, and not at all for others.
