Hi there, I am completely new to building robots but would like to give it a go. Having done some research on where is a good place to begin, I have decided to build a featherweight. I have therefore come up with some very rough blueprints to represent what I plan to make, but would like to ask you all a few questions:

1. Would it work? (and if not, why not)
2. How could it be improved?
3. What kind of armour would I need?
4. What wheels, transmitter and/or receiver would you recommend?

Thank you very much in advance
