hello all, first of all Hi, my name is Craig, i'm new to building robots and I am interested in building my First over the winter

The Idea is to build a Featherweight Control bot - and wondered if any of you experienced Builders have any advice on how best to build one is - what is the easiest way and best place to get electronic parts, materials, etc.

I do have a few ideas on materials I want to build it out of - mainly a HDPE base - but any helpful suggestions for alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading this and I hope this leads to a successful build
