Thread: First time builder. please have a look and share your knowledge

also trying to gauge weights of things, so if anyone has a wheelchair/mobility motor with and without the 90 degree gear box could you kindly weigh them and get back to me please. i have rough dimensions, but again would appreciate the exact sizes

also i have 10mm Hardox/Steel 100mmx100mm down at .79kg, so im going to use this to work out a rough weigh of my frame/shell,

can anyone recomened wether to other making a subframe, or shall i get a piece engineered? i.e cut, pressed and bent to create a solid base and shellin two pieces? or is it best to make a frame and go modular piece by piece?

its certainly not going to be revolutionary, more than likely for my first bot, a simple square/rectangle, wheels exposed both sides, with simple ram/screw lifting or crushing weapon. ideally something that runs of total electrics, as my pneumatic knowledge is little too none.



this may just be the ramblings of a mad man, but one who requires guidance from other mad men (or ladies)
