Re: featherweight shells
I also forgot to ask, will m4 screws and bolts be strong enough to hold a shell together ?

Re: featherweight shells
Thanks, I'll use that then because I'm just going to buy one big sheet of hdpe and paint it after I have finished the robot completely rather than have to piece together a union jack out of different pieces of hdpe

Actualy , HDPE is famous for the paint repelling qualities it has. You can apply paint to it, but you'll be able to peel it off without much effort.
I solved that in Project II by using paper sandwiched between the HDPE armor and a thin sheet of polycarbonate.
