Team Coolspeedbot: first feather weight robot

[maddox10]

If you don't have a 50 tons press with the right add-ons, it's not something you can do at home.

I have a hand-bender, and the biggest I can do is 100mm wide 3.2mm thin Hardox 450. And that because I modified that poor tool to accept that abuse.

Anyone wishing for a sharp crease, a weld will have to do.
For them who want a smooth bend, it's money time.

I'm still unsure which is a more practical solution to the wedge, should I get it bent or should I get it welded? But in the mean time check out this potential paint job idea.

Paint job looks great. If you're getting it water cut via someone like kcut, you might as well ask them to bend it for you as well. It's cash money but it won't just snap like a weld can sometimes.

I would just do that but I'm not sure whats the max they can bend.

John is very forthcoming in that kind of information, just ask.

I'll do that when I get a chance

I would get that bent. Its not very expensive, we just had 4 new armour sections done by kcut.

[Coolspeedbot]

OK bending it is.

Out of curiosity (for my next robot), where are you sourcing the Hardox from?
