Semi circular piece of polycarb on the back,so it cant stop there,or a strip of polycarb where the arm bends in the middle,maybe both?Make some mock up parts out of cardboard,and selotape them on,when you find out what works,make a final version out of polycarb. :)

Can you add any spikes or other protrusions to the back of the robot?

just stick a 12mm m2 bolt out the back of the robot in the centre and it won't be able to balance on the back and cause it to roll right over

Sorted now
A simple turning the servo over so the arm starts nearer the back it now flips easily with the help of a small peice on the top :)

I'm now starting on a spinner
I have the chassis sorted and all that its just the weapon
could anyone offer services or recommend somewhere to get some titanium cut or same strength metal for a blade?

thanks
