Thread: Build Log - Bread Dead Redemption (FW) - First Build.

Not updated for a while, but work is still ongoing, just slowed down a bit! I would have been pushed for time anyway, but life stuff means that I won't be able to make the October Robodojo, even as a spectator. That means it is full steam ahead for the December Robodojo and Manchester Extreme Robots events!

The HDPE and Polycarb have arrived and the HDPE is all marked up with panel sizes from the CAD ready for cutting. Unfortunately, the garage is a proper mess right now, so I'm waiting to get space to mount the bandsaw so I can use it safely. Before I start constructing, I'll be working to remove the chucks from the drill motors to make sure everything still fits (Nat, I will likely be in contact when I've done this to discuss ordering mounts from you ).

I've also got my LEDs for power light and decoration. I've gone for orange, so it will look like it is toasting while in battle (although I am concerned it may be against the rules as it may look like the robot is constantly on fire? I could always go with red if needed, they weren't exactly expensive). Aside from that, I'm trying to get my head around LiPo batteries and what I require. I've seen that 3S is quite common for 2WD on the Argos motors, but with my motors being 20V, I'm not sure if that still applies?
