First Time Bot Builder/Buyer

no, they are only ram bots but one has a lifter (or will do)

does anyone know how much a fw pneumatic setup weighs ( not including the ram) ? would it be under 2kg because thats all i have to play with.

Have you got to get the CO2 bottle in that 2kg? A standard .6kg bottle weighs about .96 kg empty! (the .6kg liquid CO2 does not count).
Is it going to be full pressure or 10 - 16 bar, because a regulator can weigh .5 kg!
Methinks you may have to start drilling holes in your bot! (ouch!!!)

no ,that weight doesnt include the co2 bottle, so how much does a 9oz paintball bottle weigh than? my chassis and base plate is quite heavy is heavy, i can always make is from something lighter.

anyone got kart wheels / tyres?

[pressure]

Im fairly sure a 9 oz paintball gun cylinder is the same size as .6kg but without the brass valve and hand wheel. Can anyone confirm / contradict this?

20oz cylinder is the equiv of 0.6kg

Oops! miles out, I stand corroded!

hey fellas do you know if there is anywhere to get some spoked wire wheels from about 80-100mm like these: http://www.top-flite.com/accys/topq6000.htmlhttp://www.top-flite.com/accys/topq6000.html
any help will be appreciated. also looking for go kart wheels, tires, hubs, bearings, bearing carriers. also thin walled round tube 10mm and 8mm dia, mild steel or stainless.

i may also be wanting some aluminium folding into what i think a rather difficult shapes but that wont be for a week or so. the spoked wheels at the top are the main thing at the moment.
cheers.
