and also to make the robot work i was gonna use two servos for movement and rubber wheels (is that a good idea). do u really need a speed controller for the motors. also i was gonna make a polycarbonate shell for it... if id enter it in a torny ill make it double layered.

If you are using servos, you do not need a speed controller. If you are using motors you will need a speed controller. Rubber wheels are a good idea. Polycarb is also a good idea.

Hi

Welcome to the forum, can't really make out what is in the picture

Some people tend to prefer links to pictures rather than having it open in the forum.

Ah, so that is the explanation of yours and Flimsies posts only being minutes apart in most cases.

In any case, you need to be more careful when creating spinning disks (I assume it was a disk). Even at this small size they are very dangerous.
