I have ordered a Viper Kit, and it will arrive hopefully in time for WAR.

Not the eFFe glitch.
The hit detection in this game is odd, and if you jiggle the control board enough, it can fit in places where it normally can not. This is what we call stacking.

At this point, I'm thinking of just getting a Viper Kit from FingerTec, after getting a cheapo charger and transmitter battery from robot market place to power it. Good idea?

This is not cheap hardware store aluminum, this is the kind they send into space.

7075 aluminum is light weight, strong, and sells at a good price.

I prefer Red Bull.
Rock Star is better.

I've done a total recalculation, here's the new parts list:
Motors: Kitbots 1000 RPM gear motors
Wheels: BaneBots 2-7/8 green wheels with hubs
ESC: Sabertooth 5
Battery: Rhino 11.1 volt 750 mAh
Charger: Poly Charge 1-3 cell
Radio: Spektrum(?) Dx4e with Hobbyking orange Rx
Any better from last time?

It's either that or the motors I have already.
Unless someone's willing to donate gear motors, I have no choice. I have very little cash in building terms.

You have a four by four by four inch cube for size to work with and 150 grams to work with. Extend the bottom plate and bend it where the edge of the front of the chassis is.

If your wedge is too steep, then simply extend the bottom plate and sharpen the edge, or take a small extra sheet of metal and bolt it on the bottom of the bot. Use counter sunk screws for this though.

A wedge is useless unless you can get underneath an enemies wedge or under it. Other wise, I't will foul up the wedge on the first good hit and it will become useless. Please use metal for it.

Do not use plastic for a wedge, use metal. A putty knife from the dollar store (Or in your case, Pound Land) sharpened will work nicely.

The blade seems to be already four inches long, he can't make it any longer due to UK rules.

I thought about the Fingertech Tiny ESCs but they cost more for two when the Saber Tooth is four dollars less and handles more current.
Thanks for the heads up about the JST connector.
I'd upgrade to Copals but I simply don't have the money for new drive motors and wheels. I have a spare gear box from my senior project for parts if I strip any gears.
