Wanting help and parts to build a robot

[ady]

8 times worse on the wallet.

lol whats a wallet ?


ps tell me lad

pound for pound, the smaller the robot gets, the more expensive it gets.

The cost of the parts in my ant is more than its weight in pure silver.

A wallet is a somewhere that I keep my money ......till the wife wants it.

Glad you found your way to the forum. I think the advice given has all ready surpassed anything that I could say. I sugest getting some good email contacts and before purchesing anything get an opinion from some one who knows there stuff.
I also would like to say that sometimes getting something shipped from the USA can be cheaper,as I have found out recently.

However http://www.technobots.co.ukwww.technobots.co.uk is an exellent site for near enough everything.
Good luck!

That one depends on how awake customs are when your parcel arrives in the country.

A lot of times even with customs and taxes it is still cheaper. I always add vat on both the product and shipping costs of the package, so I know what i can expect to pay.

Try buying Motor /Gearbox combo for a heavy for under £10.00, Leo.

You lost me. Why would I want to?

Just an example of how cheap you can start building a feather, very difficult to match in a heavy.
