Help with choosing parts for a first robot, please.

Thanks very much for all these responses, guys! I've been combing the internet for information about this for the past 2 - 3 weeks, and for whatever reason never thought that the Fighting Robots Association forums would have information about fighting robots!

I'll go ahead and get a Dx6i, then. Building robots is something I've wanted to do since I were a little tot watching it on TV, so I don't think I'm going to lose interest anytime soon. (I'm more concerned about running out of money for this rather than running out of interest.) And I'll definitely include a removable link, thanks!

I live in Perthshire, and by the time Comic-con is on I'll be at University in St. Andrews, so I'm not sure if I will be able to go that. :/ Are there usually any events here in Scotland? I thought they were pretty much always in England, so I've only been to one in Barnsley about 5 years ago. If there were any more local events at suitable dates I'd definitely go, competing or not! :P
