the one thing i shall say about the robots build is that chopping board isn't the greatest, it should be fine but it if cracks from damage (mainly if you get thrown by the floor flipper or a Full pressure flipper) i wouldn't be surprised. Chopping boards are not made from HDPE but are more brittle grade of PE (LDPE rings a bell) most robots using "HDPE" using PE300 (HDPE) PE 500 (HMWPE) or PE1000 (UHMWPE)
Hi Mark,

And thank you for the reply.

I agree, the chopping boards used won't hold up to too much punishment in combat.

Going forward HDPE is likely what I'll use in the finalised designs I have in mind, it seems to be the material of choice for many builders. I can't argue with that!

Thank you,

Mike
