new robot

[JED1999]

, hi, i am building a featherweight robot like wheely big cheese. i have built featherweights, but need advice on how to build. thanks

Ach i'll bite, explain a bit more and we'll do our best.

Some questions to consider including answers to:

1. What materials do you want to build it with?
2. What bits do you know how to do and what bits do you need help with/what sort of things have you done before?
3. Do you have anything in particular you want to include in the robot
4. What sort of tools to do you have access to

Thats a start and we'll hopefully be able to help from there

didn't know you had build feathers, thought you only had an ant?

[JED1999]

i only have built an ant, but i am now trying to build a pnumatic axe like steel avenger
i have acess to lots of tools, all the ones ill need
i might build with hardox,
and i can get most materials, and items.

i only have built an ant,

Ok

but i am now trying to build a pneumatic axe like steel avenger

Nor cheap, nor easy to do well.

I have acess to lots of tools, all the ones I'll need

Basic tools. Drill, (pillardrill is a big bonus), anglegrinder with cutting off and flap disks, welder or a large supply nuts and bolts.

I might build with hardox,

Good for you, a supply of drillbits or experience with sharpening drills is recommendend.

and I can get most materials, and items.

So can everybody, that's just a question of budget.

sorry i ment pneumatic spike robot

[harry hills]

useless weapon and still hard and dangerous to build

[JED1999]

well what would you recomend?

[gizz]

Electric lifter / crusher via either a linear actuatoer or a drill motor / threaded rod setup would be a good starting point i guess.
I'm doing that on my FW as pneumatics and spinners seems a bit down the road

[mattsdragons]

ive got a FW horizontal crusher/grabber, their fairly easy to build and they look dam good, what more could you want
