Hello everyone!

The robot is really coming along now and with loads of great advice from Roboteernat its finally nearing completion xD

Just a few questions remain which i would love to get all of your input's on!

Firstly I have read that Hardox 450/500 is the go to for a hard wearing axe head so I would like to use that but I just wanted to get your opinions on what design i should use? Is a hatchet style blade beneficial verses a pick axe style blade? I would have thought a smaller point would pierce better but I see a lot of robots going for a wider blade. Your thoughts?

Also along that train of thought, Is there anything i should be aware off when using something like Fusion 360 to design the blade and export it for cutting? (also any recommendations on where to go to get it cut? xD)

The other thing is I went with the BotBitz 85A ESCs and I found out from Roboteernat that the original ESC these are based off of has been discontinued. I hear the FeatherTwo's from Rory are pretty darn good so i was pondering switching the ESCs out for a FeatherTwo and using the one BotBitz to drive the axe motor.

Again any thoughts/recommendations on that idea and other brands of ESC?

I will post a link when i upload the latest video of what im doing too if you guys are interested

Thanks in advance!

Will
