whats the difference between the batteries you linked for me and say http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/7-2V-3800mAh-N...item35a4af5dc8 is it just the make, ie cheaper brand worse quality even thought they claim to do the same thing?

Yes those are worse quality. When buying parts for robots you pay for quality. You can get away with going cheaper but you must know which batteries or components specifically you are looking for.
I can almost guarantee that those batteries will run flat very quickly and won't be able to provide you with the current you are after.
Just ordered some HDPE, what would you recomend for fixing it together, angle iron and pop rivits or box section and bolts?
pop rivets arent a great idea for hdpe , and you would still need somehting to rivet it to. So i would suggest angle iron on all the right angles , with bolts and using wood screws and blocks of hdpe for unusual angles joints or joining 2 flat pieces togethor. Have you decided ona weapon ?
Well i wanted an axe or lifter but dont really have the knowledge to make one, so might just not have a weapon and build one in at a later date.
It was suggested that I could weld HDPE has anyone done that and does anyone know where I can get the attachment for a heat gun to do this in the uk.
If not i will got the bolt and angle iron route, will i need any special tools to cut and drill this?
to weld hdpe you will really need a crash course from someone who has done it before. As for a weapon, a humble scoop would be good a s a first weapon , this bot should have quite a bit of power to so a scoop would make a very competitive bot.
anyone have ian watts email please?
