Haynes Manual Build a Robot

[Maxamuslead]

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?

MDF is not recommend at all, even for wood, good for prototyping but breaks really easily and HDPE is cheap (i get it from Direct Plastics and i think that is where most people get it from) and is the go to material for first bots

Oh, so would HDPE cut easy with a cheapish jigsaw and a wood blade?

Worried im rushing ahead to quick so want to keep it simple but also not doing something stupid lol
