I plan on doing as much research on shwxplosion and building my featherweight to specifically exploit its weakness ( if it has one that is ) and if we ever fight shwxplosion at the same time we should both team up on him and take him out first Don't think I'm not watching :wink: I was counting on i...

I have another question, where would I get the safety link for a featherweight and how would I wire in failsafes, a safety link, and a power light ?

yeah its a running joke from the gametechmods forums

and if we ever fight shwxplosion at the same time we should both team up on him and take him out first

also, how would I attach wheels to the drill motors or will I have to make my own ?.
and how would I attach the plastic together, bend one solid piece, with bolts or should I melt it together with a soldering iron because I dont know how to do plastic welding ?

i'll just use thick plastic then and as for the wiring i'll get my dt teacher to help because he's built a few heavyweights for robot wars ( that werent too good but they drove which is good enough for me )

ok thanks
it will probably take me a while to build though because i'll only be able to work on it for 3 hours a week because i need to use my schools dt workshop to do the wiring and I need to find someone that can do welding to build the chassis and shell

If your trying to do it slightly cheaper than having 4 speed controllers you could almost definitely get away with just 2 electronize 30a's for 4 motors and save yourself 100 quid. I assume you'll be running drill motors as most people do, especially on their first project? Also, you might have mor...

ok, i'll get my dt teacher to help with that

thanks, so should I have a seperate battery pack for each speed controler or wire them up to run from 1 power source ?
