It'd be rude not to. Unless I can get a cube extension bonus for awesomeness I think i'll have to cut like 40mm off :cry:

Just fold the ends instead of cutting them; keeps the weight :P

If my maths is correct, the absolute largest dimension you can have in a 4" cube is just shy of 176mm! :o

This does mean going across diagonally opposite corners,so fitting the rest of the robot in the remaining space may be a challenge...

If you take into account the fact the blade's ~30mm wide then it brings it down the length quite a lot to somewhere around ~130mm

Wrong. You can fit a 141 x 100mm rectangle across two opposite edges of the cube.
Alternatively, if the blade has points of the correct angle the full ~176mm can be achieved.
It's all about thinking inside the box ;)

Whoops, that was just my bad maths... Awkward considering I've got a maths exam in a week :roll:

Quick question. Anybody know decent-ish light 25mm od outrunner? There were some little purple things a while back that were that size (screamer motors?) that might have been 25mm.

Cheers.

Started my fleaweight this evening. Weight will be tight as it is slightly made out of 5mm aluminium. Should be okay if I cut corners and there is plenty of meat to pocket. Will have a wedge. Might see if I can't skim some .5mm ti down to .3 or so.
