Re: Starter/Beginner Robot

You need thicker poly carb which costs more and then costs more to transport takes long to put up as well.

hope this clears it up

It won't cost lots of money because u allready have to areas but a bit to fix it
and to put up just get there earlier

I'm not expert on robotics, but I was a roadie for 3 years, and know how much something that looks fairly simple to put up can cost. The time of the amount of people you need for fairly simple setups is the expensive bit. Not just a case of getting there a bit earlier either really.

Re: Starter/Beginner Robot

ok an example for you using data from the plastic shop

5mm poly carb around = £160

same size as 5mm but now 9.5mm thick poly carb around = £360

so scale that up to an arena size and you have a massive price difference

so unless you want to foot the bill........?????

To get back to the main point, featherweights seem to be the way i'm gonna go. Ants seem to be a bit tame, looks like feathers are where you can really be creative and actually do something, that is, other than weigh your robot overtime you add a piece of wire to it.

Hope you all agree with this conclusion?

Some will and some won't. You have to decide what you want to build.
