yea one problem is that i dont know where to get uhmw and also i have no way to machine it( best case scenario was going to ask if i could use someone elses) with your idea in mind i had the idea of possibly the uhmw and for extra armour (sgt cuddles is 1lb) screwing aluminum plates into side and top to create a "case" and the uhmw is good for shock obsorbtion aswell

Hi guys,so i really want to get into combat robotics and am currently attempting to get a job to fund this (high school student) so currently am just designing for a 3lb robot. am thinking of doing something similar to sgt. cuddles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5MbYqHyuIM) but with an aluminum chassis and a titanium drum. any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for your time

with the lower bot weights like beetle where they use foam wheels fire would be very effective

k well that could have been bad later on
i still havent been able to fin a switch for the power. i am hoping to get the one that you turn to turn on the power to the bot
i was also just searchin around for fun and found this

perhaps to be put on the back of the bot as a secondary weapon

ok thanks
now i know what hardware i want to get and i can stat budegting towards it
how would i go about building the chassy? as i said i am going to go to my local sign shop and see if they have any scrap material they are willing to give up (since its beetleweight it will probably not be too big ) would it be just glueing the pieces together?
