Hi Jamie,

Thanks for the info - I'll deffo get a few of those wheels ordered & I was going to for the 85a ESCs but Ellis said he's got some supply issues with them at the moment, so I'll probably just go with the 30's..... I can always drop them into a Beetleweight in the future should i catch the roboteering bug (sorry - i know that was a crap joke but i couldn't resist).

As for the chassis material.... i'm a bit embarrassed to say that i've not really thought that far ahead yet. In my mind my first goal is just to get all the kit nailed to an old chopping board (currently eyeing up one in the kitchen - which will please the wife no end) and get it to move about the garage floor. Once I've done that I'll sit down with the weeman and we'll knock up some plans, we are not even sure what kinda robot we are going to go for, think a spinner may be the current front runner but we'll see. Off the top of my head i was roughly planning a 3mm Steel (Angle) Chassis but not sure if it's better to use steel plate or thick HDPE armour, or maybe some kinda combo? I was also wondering, is it worth building a prototype using MDF?

Cheers,

Alex
