What other bits you using? I managed to squeeze a 500g weapon motor into Headbanger and got 10mm HDPE sides, 2mm carbon fibre main panels and a 1mm Ti scoop into the design, so I think you can get some reasonable armour if you make it as small as you can.
1x 852 grams pneumatics
2x 79 grams 1200rpm motors
4x 9 grams botbits 10amp esc's (will order these once the chasis looks like it will work)
---> 2x engines, 1x compressor and 1 to power the valve since they way less than a switch.
1x 17 grams rx (orange r800x to be linked to my dx5e)
1x 60 grams estimate flipperarm (6mm hdpe vertically mounted)
1x 75 grams 850Mah 3s lipo pack (will order this later on)
Which leaves me. roughly 300grams to work with for the chassis, wheels, link, wiring, led, bolts and screws.
First order of business is to create a heated wire to fold the 6mm hdpe into a onepiece chasis.
I managed to design one that would stay under 200 grams and would offer maximum protection one can expect 6mm hdpe to give but selfrighting would be near impossible in this stage.
