Here is where hes been
I'm even newer and hereby volunteer as apprentice to anybody around Sheffield.
More good with the hammer and welder than any CAD nonsense.
im in shrewsbury hahahaha so your a bit to far to travel
Erm, the motors in the kit are usually for pushing around about half a kilo, and most modern uk beetles are 1.5kg. I think it will work, is it a case you've bought the kit and need a body for it all to go in?
yea i bought the kit just waiting on it to be delivered and yea need to sort a body of sorts for it which is the bit im stuck on been told i could use strong poly sheeting
I am also pretty new to this, as you are, but I would recommend delving into the build diaries section in this forum, as there are nearly unlimited ways to create the body for your robot. Arguably this is the most fun building, working out what the not will look like! There are people using plastics as you mentioned for beetleweights, but also various metals, wood, chopping boards, baking trays, biscuit tins and more. Really opened my eyes to what can be done fairly easy.
Have fun and good luck
i cant work with metals as dont have the skills or the tools like welding hahahahaha so it would have to be wood or plastics
Don't knock wood and plastics. We had 10 fights at Insomnia with Mutiny and it came home in one piece.
