If the Titanium's still an option for you, Id recommend a pair of Stanley Fatmax aviation snips for just over £10 including delivery. They cut 1mm nicely, and in conjunction with a clamp or vice, work effectively as it tends to bend the titanium when cut so with a clamp you can bend it back afterwar...

I just used scissors for the front scoops, it's 1mm so not massively thick. Also bear in mind it bends when cut, and is a little difficult to cut, so you have to get the hammer on it once cut. I had to bend mine some more because of the way my flippers angled, not all of it will touch the floor if i...

Hi, I like the look of your robot, and to answer your questions, as far as I know, as long as the battery can easily be disconnected from the robot, without having to unscrew any panels, then that's all that's necessary, for Most robots. I bought a couple of these essentially http://www.ebay.com/itm...

Yeah pretty much. I missed out some details like the clubs Onis carry but it looks trollish enough haha

So Oni II is all finished now. The flipper's a little unreliable, but I've figured out how to make it work as well as it should. There are currently two front flipper blades, a narrow one, and the large front scoop on the robot in the image. I also plan to make a second scoop from titanium, but I th...

Those look really nice, and pretty sturdy. Would you recommend the Fabrikator btw? Eventually should I get enough money to go into 3D printing, I'm wondering whether this one is worth the money.

I've ordered some titanium for myself for a similar purpose. 1mm Aluminium I've had success cutting with scissors and straightening out with a hammer as it tends to curl a little, if you wanted that as an option too.

Thanks, I turned the fin upside down on the robot so it can right itself from any angle, as a bit of clever driving rolls in T onto its back where it springs back into its wheels. Also aluminium came today so I played around with a front scoop. At the minute I have a narrow square of aluminium on th...

Sounds good, but I think it would have to be drones as part of a clusterbot only, and somewhat modified I think. I mean, imagine someone just buying three drones for the cost of a single antweight, not much effort put in and just putting them into a clusterbot. and speaking of micro rakes, I actuall...

Unfortunately I won't be attending. Bit far and got a wedding the 20th. Not mine of course
