Well, Kitbots doesn't deliver to the UK, apparently. I'm looking around now, seeing if I can find any.

Thanks! I'll try to get the Nutstrips whenever I can, since it seems the best one to start with. Would it be wise to cut it down to two or three holes for each side? Just to cut down on weight.

Sorry to DP, but my motors n' such arrived today, so that was a nice surprise. My only problem is that- How would I go about fixing the chassis together, while being accessible?

Well, I'll try to find some good ti, I've currently got my HDPE, hoping that everything come soon enough.

Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to see.

The thing is, that Direct Plastics isn't a trusted website, according to chrome, and the 'Powered By Dreams' page didn't show. It's not like I don't trust anyone, but I prefer to be cautious.
I'll check it out with some sort of website checker.

Okay, I've ordered the parts, the design is done, but a tiny problem.. Direct Plastics seems to not be safe at all, and there's only one hobby shop I know, which will mist likely not have HDPE, or anything else, that's good enough.
@R1885 Which metal should I use? I honestly don't know what is strong for the rammer.

The design on SketchUp is almost done, could have the parts by Wednesday, All I need to know is the amount of each type of wire to get, and what material to put beneath the motors, so they're in the middle.

Oh. I feel stupid now. Thanks though.

So, I've finally got round to using SketchUp, and I just need to know, if I'm to be using a metal scoop, where to get the metal, since I don't know any shops which sell any.

I'll attempt with SketchUp first, ProDesktop looks complicated.
Or at least a more professional thing.

Any suggested ones?

I'll try to redraw the design when I can, but my niece is round today, and she likes to draw on all the paper.

@ R1885 The thing is that the wheels are 32mm in diameter, and it's 4 wheel drive, so that doesn't leave too much room for a wedge, although I don't know the size -And weight- of the electrics and such.
@Meganerdbomb Sorry, but the team name wasn't my idea, so any misunderstandings have nothing to do with me.

I will use metal, but the problem is that I don't think a wedge would work, as I said, due to how steep it is. Is it possible to do a small scoop or would that be useless?
36
« on: January 07, 2012, 05:54:43 AM »
Right, I'll keep that on mind. On another note, the wheels kind of make the wedge steep, could I just do a bulldozer thing, or would it not work?
37
« on: January 06, 2012, 05:04:28 PM »
Something like HDPE sides and wedge, and ti for the top and bottom, if the weight works out? I don't know though, would it be the other way around?

Thanks for the offer, but I'm pretty sure I'd have enough extra funds, I'd feel guilty f I did.

As of yet, I have no idea, but as soon as the actual design of the bot is done, and provided that the parts come on time, I'll be able to get it weighed and then figure the rest out after. So far, I'm getting the bot drawn, hoping that it looks good.

Well, so far, without the HDPE, it's roughly £158, so now all I can do is wait. Once again, thanks for the help, I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without any. Oh, and I'm going for the 4 Wheel drive.
