what do you mean buy sharp edges, its plastic so it wont be sharp

Tweedy · « **Reply #22 on:** October 10, 2011, 01:37:59 PM »

i meant the edge for a decent wedge

nick some of those lamanating sheets of thin plastic and then put that on the polycarbonate for 0mm ground clearence

best to replace them after spinners get to them though

Tweedy · « **Reply #26 on:** October 10, 2011, 01:58:01 PM »

it shouldnt be going up against any spinners because i only plan on entering roaming robots because theres nowhere to fight it near me

haz · « **Reply #27 on:** October 10, 2011, 02:02:00 PM »

well antweight events move around a lot more than roaming robots

Tweedy · « **Reply #28 on:** October 10, 2011, 02:04:00 PM »

could you send me the links to some of them please because the next roaming robots close to me is in november

2nd idea :

This is probably the better design.

Tweedy · « **Reply #32 on:** October 10, 2011, 02:27:24 PM »

how would i get the good edge for the wedge though because i was going to bend it and sand it down but is there a way i could attach two pieces together to make a good wedge ?

haz · « **Reply #33 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:20:40 PM »

why sand it down?

Tweedy · « **Reply #34 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:23:07 PM »

to try and get a straight edge

haz · « **Reply #35 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:33:17 PM »

on polycarb? scissors seem to cut it pretty staight

Tweedy · « **Reply #36 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:36:00 PM »

i meant like the lip on the wedge

haz · « **Reply #37 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:43:16 PM »

with a 1mm material there isnt much point, its easyer to put paper or thin plasitc on the front instead

Tweedy · « **Reply #38 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:46:19 PM »

ok thanks i'll just do that then
