battlebots
I am planning out on how to build my middleweight bot for Battlebots. I just did some pre-liminary drawings for it, It wil be 1/4 inch tube steel i found at Home Depot. 33ft of it, is needed to construct my bot. I have 4 identical motors that i bought a while ago, they are high-speed/high-torque motors that would help in the box. I need to make brass bushings to make the shafts on the motors stay straight, they weIre missing them when i bought them. I still need to buy a radio! which i have found for $85, I think I will use tekin Speed Controllers that were donated by my First Team. I have a big bag full of them. I am gonna run 24vdc through my system. I need to purchase the batteries still, i think i found some on American Science And Surplus, for cheap money.
Does anybody have a good thought of what I should cover it with? I was thinking Lexan or maybe sheet metal? If anybody has any pro's or con's against any of these i would love to hear them!
