Thread: Newbie - help neededHow do

Hi fellow roboters,

I am after some advice about building a heavey weight robot called "dumble", i took my boys to watch robot wars live up at gloustershire and I was so impressed by the newer robots (beast, Saint and many more). I have been into electronics for many years but my mechanical skills a slightly lacking. Please see my questions below :-


1. What would be the best frame and armour design material ?
2. Would strength be a higher priority than speed ?
3. Flipper design or something different ?
4. How do I participate - do I just turn up on the day or is there meets before the competitions ?
5. What amount of spares do you recommend that I take per competition ?
6. Who fancies a one to one battle )


such a great website guys, can't wait for next year.

All the best from the "dumble team"
