You can keep the robot I just want whatever makes that noise.
Either that or I install a speaker which plays the windows ME startup sound.

Now there's an idea...when I get my one built, I'll have it play the Windows NT 4.0 sound upon being switched on   :approve:

Ahhhhh

If you want to improve it, build to the weight limit (lol RA2)

But seriously, better motors and a hardox shell could make this so much better, or just ordinary steel if hardox is too expensive

What do you use to cut the materials? The edges are sooo rough.

We need to get you hooked up with a Dremel Kit. <3

Oh wow.  Please take this into consideration:  Get a pack of cut-off discs and the bit that holds them.  Use the dremel at a high-RPM and cut something simple like a plastic container. Work your way up from there.  This is what it looks like:



Cut-off discs are perfect for cutting sheets of carbon fiber.  You can get sheets of carbon fiber on eBay for o.k. prices but they are insanely light and very durable if used correctly.

Oh, and wear safety glasses when using cut-off discs sometimes they can shatter under stress, but they come in big packs, so it is no big deal and they are easy to replace on the bit.

Once you learn to use them... you wont want to go back.  It's totally worth it!
