Technical feather stuff

[haz]

okay, right im going to ignore what i said about not wanting to put you off the robot design, please don't build a pnematic robot for a first feather (besides the fact there are too many flippers) you could potentioly kill, (probably wont though) but could really, reall hurt you. make a moving platform first with say, a basic electric lifter, fight it a few times then think about adding a powerful weapon.

think, you have built only two antweights (well one battle ant ) and while they might be pretty good a feather is a compleaty different kettle of robots

good luck to you anyway sorry if i have come across harsh

i agree with harry.
i was just like you about the feather thing.
but then i realised that i could potentially kill myself.
im making a moving platform

It's alright Haz, I'm not building this on my own! That's way beyond me right now... I'm getting someone to help me and to do the dangerous stuff.

[kickboxer]

still mate.
doing the dangerous stuff is 90 % of the job.

cool, whats your budget( im reconing about £300-400) if you dont mind me asking? and what do you plan to make it out of?
still make a basic robot first, so if it gets wrecked in ist first fight, it doesnt matter.

Thanks for the support guys, I well aware of the potential danger, I'm not the type to do something without thinking about it first!
My budget it about £300, and so far it's added up to £197 for motors, wheels, gas etc.
I will do anything that is deemed safe for me to do by the person who's helping me. He's an expert!

[kickboxer]
