Any featherweights? (preferably a 100 - 200 pounds)

[Tom310]

Anyone selling a featherweight - at a price between £100- £200?

[psycho_fling]

you can easily make a first bot on that budget DIY

I wish... There are no places that sell the stuff we need and we have next to no experiance. We have money but nothing to go on.

[psycho_fling]

most robot stuff is sold over the internet and thats www after all

Never heard such BS.........sorry to be frank but all i'm hearing are excuses. There are loads of bots built in bedrooms with nothing more than a hacksaw and determination. 200 quid for a feather is a reasonable amount. Don't bother buying one, you won't learn anything.

Gathered from the forum here. Nothing the search couldn't find for you....

Simple 2.4 GHz transmitter £35

2 Gimson drives £50
2 125mm Blue wheels with inserts. £17.3

3S LiFePo4 battery £20 with P&P included.

The only expensive stuff left, the speedo's. But for less than £100 you have a unit that will be usable in combination with the Gimsons.

The rest is structural. Skip bin steel plate, Scrapyard scrounging.
Or if you can find it, a plastics working firm (sewage-system builders for example), and ask for offcuts from HDPE or PP plate.

If that ain't working. Plywood from the DIY .

of course, if you have moeny to spend there are several 1 stop shopping options. Like the robotmarketplace

Searching for components is half the fun!
