Is there any 12kg kits?
The 6kg kits are so incredibly versatile that they can be simply bolted together to give a 4WD four drill motor feather - but if you stick with just the one kit (2WD) then you can invest all that extra weight in a decent weapon.
Could the 6kg kit be turned into a 12 kg feather?
Exactly my point - yes.
How would the motors do with the extra 6kg weight on the robot?
With the one 2wd 6kg turned into a featherweight, would I have any pushing power?
From what everyone has said these kits use drill motors. These are pritty much what most people use for drive in there feathers (a bit of a generalisation but mainly true). There will be plenty of push with them.
yup, as Ian says - the kits use drill motors as used by many featherweight robots. You can always overvolt them a little if you think they arent giving you enough speed but they should be fine.
What would be the difference in one of those 6kg kits V buying one of Paul Coopers technobot 12kg 4wd drive Zeobot chassis?
About 6Kg ;o)
If youre the other side of the pond to us, beacuse Technobots wont ship internationally you might look at what Carlos been up to at http://www.battlekits.comwww.battlekits.com he does a featherweight (30lb). As your that side of the pond from us Id suggest you look to build to the 30lb limit rather than our 12Kg limit.
Just my 2 cents

Or I could buy a team, and someone could send it over. Is it better to have a 2wd or 4wd robot to starters?
