I might as well tell you what i plan to do, well my bosch35w motors only have a 4mm square hole, so I'm going to grind down a 12mm steel shaft at one end. Then have two bearings as supports, hopefully the shaft will not break. As from the bearings i don't know what I'm going to do with them, I can make them or buy ready mounted bearings, it depends on how much space the ready mounted bearings will take up.
I'm finding it hard to get 2014T aluminium, I just can't find it any ware. So I don't know if i should look for some different metal?
I can't use hardox as the chassis, because it may be to heavy at the end.
And I am thinking on how to make the arm, in other words should i put bearings on it or just drill holes and put a shaft through it?
And i have a question do you need a tool to make screw holes or do you just drill holes?
And I might as well show you what the original robot look like.
