But I don't have the tools for HDPE, so it doesn't matter anyways.

Easily

I'm still going with polycarb, transparent robots = epic.

Why do you think Chaos 2 was so good? The flipper? Give me a break, it was because the back wads transparent. Makes it a winner before it even starts.

Nope, much more brittle than the black

haz · « **Reply #91 on:** July 25, 2011, 11:25:48 AM »

not for me, got a 4mm sheet of the stuff and it seems exactly the same if a bit stiffer

I have been thinking about making a pair of robots from cardboard, a pair of flipper, little more than the size of an xbox cotroller, if possible. I was wondering what the cost would be, what tools I would need and where to get the parts. Not for any competition, just to mess around with. Like a cheap version of AntyB, if you have ever seen that, but a more generic flipper design.

Anty B? That's my favourite fleaweight :D

Stagfish · « **Reply #97 on:** August 10, 2011, 03:32:46 PM »

Its an ant not a flea, hence the name "ANTy B"

R1885 · « **Reply #98 on:** August 10, 2011, 03:53:53 PM »

Its a flea where I live.

Badger · « **Reply #99 on:** August 10, 2011, 10:49:55 PM »

It's an ant in the UK, where is was made.
