Hello FRA!!

Less of the capital letters, please.

Hello FRA!!

Now Chris, is that any way to treat a new guy? :proud:

Welcome to the forum, Paul. :proud: Here, let me help you with a few problems I see in your first bot.

Kay 9 - There is NO way you are going to be able to put in 2 LEM200s, 2 20Kg discs, and 12mm hardox armour in a machine...that weighs 95kg!!! I would suggest using some S28 series of MagMotors instead of the LEMs, having 4mm hardox (thats still really tough), and getting rid of one of the discs, otherwise itll be overweight. The bot isnt big enough either; make it a bit bigger, say 10mm in each direction. Also, youre not going to be able to get a speed of 20mph with those wheels. Try Vulkalon rubber instead of the aluminum, and lose the spikes; the rubber has traction enough. :wink:

I might have a go at some of the others later, if I can. :proud:

Hello FRA!!

Thanks Kody, good to know the limits when imaging these robots up

Hello FRA!!

Good luck to you getting kay-9 under the weight limit.

With schmax 6 bosch 750s will weigh around 20kg+ and thats without gears chains sprockets etc.And will cost about Â£625+ new.

Use ti instead of hardox.

Thats what i recommend anyway,but it is up to you.

(Im not very exsperianced)

Hello FRA!!

(Im not very experienced)

To be honest, Im not very experienced either - Im only in my thrid year at Secondary school and barely know how to build a movable toy, let alone a robot! But I have to thank everyone for letting me in so nicely. Thanks for the help.

PS: How can I edit messages?

Hello FRA!!

Hi Paul,

Editing only works for a couple of minutes, after that you need to contact the admin to edit your message. There is an icon on the top right of your message, with a piece of paper and a pencil, click that to edit.

As far as your robots are concerned: they have specs we would all want to build our robots to, but unfortunatly these specs are not very realistic.

2 tips:

- look at the specs of real robots and use those specs as guidelines.
- Find out the actual weights of materials, and then make up your own robot accordingly.

Good luck and have fun.

Hello FRA!!

Hi Paul

Im only in my third year at Secondary school

From that it sounds like youre based in Scotland (basing it on the fact that I refer to it as secondary school and third year/fourth year rather than Year 11/High School, Middle School etc)
Do you live in Scotland (or have I just guessed completely wrongly) and if so, whereabouts??

Hello FRA!!

No Im not Scottish. Im in Orpington, Kent.

And at Darrick Wood School, we refere to it as Secondary School but I shouldnt have sad thrid year. Im in Year 9. Just so everyone knows

Hello FRA!!

Lol, ah well I was completely wrong then :)
