im new and i need help on the sizes and weight of a featherw

im goin to use this starter kit
http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/package05.html
im goin to do a 2wheeler with 2horizontal spinners on a triangle base and using mild steel armour

first off hello and welcome to the forum.
second, bad idea, for starters, that is quite a bad (and dare i say out dated) american antweight kit, featherweights are 13kg
spinners are a really, really bad idea for a first robot, and you can only use them once or twice a year.
where abouts do you live?
what kind of budget do you have.
mild steel is ok, but many people use plastics and hardox

hi thanks for ur tips so wat motor should i use and wat type of tyre and how many
max spendin on a complete finished featherw for me is £200
im goin to draw some ideas up and price it all up
but cant buy it til xmas cos thats when ill get the money :rofl:

well, on that type of budget you should get 2 12v cordless drill motors, they are very cheap, something like £10 each i use these and they are very good. for wheels a company called robochalange do blue wheels which screw right on to your drill motors.
for speed controlers get some 15a electronizes, dirt cheap, about £50-60 a pair (you will need 2) then get a 12v nimh battery for like £20 or 14.4 for a little more speed and a couple of sheets of HDPE preferably 10mm+ thick 8mm lowest.

thanks for that advise is goin to he easy for me to sand weld or anything like that cos my dad has all that in ar garage
plz could u give me sites so i could have a look
ar u sellin a featherweight :?:
and isnt rc controlers expensive :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Look in the featherweight section. There are several starter threads with a lot of good advice about where to start.

tom, i was contempating selling my feather but i proboaby wont, there are seveal in the for sale section
yes controlers are expensive, but you need them :)

either that or a bang bang setup, but thats kinda meh tbh

for a beginner, an electonize is easyer (and safer!)

bulldozer has them now :P

thanks for all tips :!: :!: :!: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
