hi

i want to build a feather weight bot but wat do i need were do i start and does anyone have second hand motors extremely cheap or free

Go get some £9.99 drill motors, there really cheap and should be easy enough for you to build a feather weight from. Form B&Q, homebase, argos? And you get battreies and cahrger with it as well.

Is the forum going to have a beginners section?

I think so. Same questions over and over.

No disrespect Joshua. Just have a good old read through the many previous threads on how to get started. Thats how i leant most about featherweights. Good luck.

Hi Josh. You will find lots of great info if you click on search up in the top right corner of the screen and search for motor in the featherweight thread.

And please be welcome to visit live events. There is no better lesson than a hands-on session.

True. I showed Jonno my design plans at Preston and made a lot of progress. And he made it sound a lot simpler than I thought it was

btw Josh: check out my threads in this forum, theyre about the basic electronics and mechanics of a pusher bot.

hi,
u can pick windscreen wiper motors at a scrap heap, they will be cheap.thats what ive done.And if u want spead controllers, go on UKrobotics/index.htm
For a body, ali is the cheapest and easiest to work with, again, can be picked up from a scrapheap
dont worry about a weapon yet, just get the basics done

since when did dom sell speed controllers???
