Obligatory First Featherweight Build Log (FeatherDozer)

[Ocracoke]

The chassis design looks to be quite neat, better than the implementation of my left and right sections in my Middleweight at any rate, well done How thick are the front and rear bulkhead in that design?

Hi Lucy,

Thanks for your kind words . The bulkhead sizes are as follows:

• The rear aluminium bulkhead is 15mm thick (6082 T6 grade).
• The main longitudinal HDPE bulkheads are 15mm thick.
• The front bulkhead/ Impact panel (when the arm is lifted) is only 6mm thick HDPE but the front of the 2 longitudinal bulkheads is retained in several different directions so is very stiff.

I should have some time in the coming days to detail the build, which may give better perspective of how it all goes together as well as how little space is in the robot when fully assembled.
