Re: Build Diary: Prototype Robot

Thanks for the reply,
I’ll try Araldite to glue it together. Would it be possible to bend it and have a sharp angle as I didn’t want to bend it and it look cuvered. If so how would I bend it?

I have a robot with slanted sides, how would I attach that to the base at an angle. Also how do you post pictures, I could show you the cardboard model of my robot so you know what I mean.

Re: Some questions about building an Antweight

With regards to attaching the polycarbonate there seems to be a kind of 90 degree bracket. Can anyone link me a bracket? Also could anyone suggest a hinge for the flipper.

Re: Some questions about building an Antweight

Thanks, I will look into buying the DasMikro. How much soldering is required? Also, I am using the Devo 7e transmitter could you recommend a receiver for it that worked with the DasMikro. Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks William,
