New beginnings

Hi Matt,

If you're having an active weapon as well, then 20 mm HDPE for all the armour and bulkheads might cause weight problems down the line. Granted I've yet to fight any spinners, so I can't say much for resilience, but my robot uses 20mm for front armour and 15mm for the rest of the armour and bulkheads, with a 10mm base and lid. Obviously it depends on the size of your robot and how heavy it will be. I'm cutting some spares in case anything gets chewed up in combat - since it's just bolted together HDPE, busted panels can be switched out and changed quickly.

I use the IMAX B6 and it does the job pretty well. I'm not particularly experienced with electronics and I was a bit worried about charging LiPos, but I found it really easy to use. I use something like this for a power supply which just plugs right in:
