Been having a think about this and as its been a long time since D&T at school going to make something with MDF before go onto HDPE.

My plan is to follow the basic layout of the flip bot to create the base and sides out of MDF and get all the electrics going so it drives around and then i have something to build from.

Would a really cheap jigsaw, like this one; https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p63070 be ok to start with?
