Id personally heavily recommend doing live events first, and if your inexperienced to start of in the featherweight class.

Problem with rushing a build (especially your first), is you will likely make mistakes, it will cost money, and it probably wont end up as the finished product you want it to be.

Ive always personally recommended to build a featherweight rambot to newcomers, then to try weaponising that. At least then if you decide you out of your depth, or not as interested as you first thought - so on, youve only spent say £100 as opposed to £1000.

If you want, try and build something for the featherweight world championships - thats a smaller project, and has an extra month.
