I tested my flipper and it is really underpowered.. can barely lift 450g. :/ I think this time I will go with a basic wege bot without any special weapon.

Also,
What plastic do you suggest with what width in 'mm'?
Polycarbonate is available here pretty easily.

Secondly, I will get the plastic laser cut; do you have any basic robot design which I will give to the laser cutter guy and he will cut it.
How do I design a robot in CAD softwares like google sketchup?
Also, I like the toranto 2 robot. nice design and great flipper.
For the motor controller do you suggest me sabertooth 2x12 RC? because that's the only thing I can afford.


Thanks
