3 kgs for each flipper

You would need a bigger width to fit two 3kg CO2 tanks between the wheels. Go for at least 70cm for width, or something over. You dont have to immediately take a suggestion, though, you can say something like 75cm or 80cm or whatever, as long as it isnt too wide. :P

I will have 2.5 kg bottles and the width will be 65

Much better.

Shape: Rectangle.

A rectangle is a 2D shape. You mean a box, right?

I mean A Box!

lol, yes, good. :P

Another thing is your motivation. IIRC, you cant have a skid steer system with 6 wheels, and with 6 wheels, although youll have a good speed and torque, you wont be able to manoeuvre around as well as machines with 2 or 4 wheels. I would say go for 4 wheels since you can bring your weapon into play easier, but its up to you. Do you want to keep your 6 wheels?

Mkay. Looks like you have a good first vapourbot, there. I will re-open your section on ZED so you can post it. Just please try not to fly off the handle like you did on here before.
