I am thinking if I should, but the cost is quite prohibitive the motors alone would be £700 and this for a robot that would never win anything! (but that's not a major concern)
I would like to run it on steam but for the shows insurance sake, I think I would use compressed air I have looked into this for other projects,
The idea is basically a polycarbonate box with 4 spoked wheels lots of copper and brass rivets.
The engines shown have a reversing leaver that can be connected to servos for the steering so with 2 engines I could tank-steer the thing, do you think they would allow me a weight advantage for a steam powered featherweight?
