I've got no problems with Tornado's cage. I have the same thing for my bot and about 3 other configurations. Sawbot De-fence, Crusher web, thicker back armor that can be removed depending on who I fight, and some other stuff I don't want to give away yet. :P
Here is a I don't have picture of my anti crusher web handy or it on my bot but it's almost identical to Tornados web sin size and materials its made of.
My thoughts about this whole thing... If you spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on something and there is an easy way to prevent it from being destroyed... do it.
I still stand by this...

Nope, basically none of that stuff is good. Tracks are a pain in the butt to work with and can come off or get cut, killing your ability to move. Two spark gearmotors aren't enough for a beetleweight pushy bot. (Mike uses two of them in his ant) Really nonrecharable batteries in a battery holder. (not enough voltage and it's gonna cost a lot in the long run) Vex robotics chasis kit? First off that's cold roll steel. Second off thats 1/3 of your weight. Excluding armor. Thirdly thats just gonna be huge. 24 gauge wire is way way way too small. You around 18 gauge wire. Seeing as you are kinda clueless in terms of robot design, might I intrest you in one of these beetleweight drum spinner kits? The robot it's based off of consistently wins and places top 3 in events. http://kitbots.com/product.sc;jsessionid=3A55668966C7E9407D7A9BBA4F0BB3A9.qscstrfrnt05?productId=19&categoryId=1

I'll get something in very soon. I've got a lot of stoof going on right now and haven't has time to sit down and build something good and semioriginal. If it comes down to it I'll just send Jaws of Defeat again. :P

Brown and Roboteer will be good.
Whoa! and there it is. Congrats on the promotion SKBT.
Thanks! Oh and ACAMS my name doesn't show up brown in the who's online section. Is this intentional because the Advanced Users and Admins names show up in different colors.

Nope you typed something so unless I had that onscreen narrator thingy on I wouldn't have heard something. :P As for CAD (presuming CADS meant that) software I have Autodesk 2011, Solidworks 2001, and 3dsmax 9 (I think)

1. 4mm
2. I wouldn't run them beyond 12-14v
3. I think so but you can probably get them with a different connecter if you ask Pete nicely.

Tell your parents Alex from Team CWG told you to get different parts because the current ones you. Want will be a waste of money. Tell them the same things I've told you and make sure to tell them it's cheaper. If you can't convince them to let you get the other motors here is a more expensive alternative. http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-B16.htmlSpektrum 2.4GHz is only Spektrum .4GHz compatible.

I told you to check out those motors I posted before. Two of them are great in weaponed beatleweights and four would kick butt in a pusher. Also with 3" wheels it would get around 8mph (rough mental math estimate) which is more than fast enough for a Beatleweight in a 8' X 8' arena. But if you don't want to cough up the extra $12 to buy them and have a underpowered bot feel free to do so. Also you don't need a switch per say. I use a removable power link in my 30lber. That's a fancy name for unplugging the battery and plugging it in right before the match. :P Edit: http://kitbots.com/product.sc;jsessionid=F477ACD531DA7221708C8104829FC4CD.qscstrfrnt06?productId=20&categoryId=1These motors are better than the ones you have in your screenshot and are cheaper. $12 VS $19

I just realized none of my robots can run on carpet floors. They all have too little ground clearance. :P

If you have a 5v input you don't need a separate battery. That's why I said get a BEC. I'd tell you how to make one from parts you can get a radioshack but because you can't solder it won't be much help. :P

It's about $110 for a Spektrum DX5e with AR500 receiver combo at robotmarketplace. So if you buy a Spektrum you save $3 of the GWS which costs $113.

You can't drive a tank drive robot unless you have two channels.
Spektrum remotes have a ratchetring left stick (good for RC airplanes) and a springloaded right stick that always recenters itself. Most people drive only with the right stick because if this. If you have a ESC that has mixing (which you do) it's not a problem because one channel will control forward/backwards and the other channel will control left/right.
