About this robot

This project has evolved some , the basic rundown is I'm modding two Omnibots , one a regular the other a larger 2000 model. I will have two ezb kits , rad base idea was thrown out because of so much noise but could go back on the table if the omnibot drivetrain is too weak to pull it.

@robotmaker I have a complete & working RAD 2.0 I'm consider letting go of. None of the plastic has yellowed as far as I can tell. The only things I didn't get with it are the nerf darts & the remote's battery cover. You can email at nlkdavid AT pinnacle175 dot com

Hey Josh, maybe you could use carbon fiber instead of fiberglass. I see it pretty cheap on ebay, not much more than glass. Just a thought.

#741  

carbon fiber very light ,used for making quadcopters

#742  

Is it easy to work with? I have never used it before.

It's the same as fiberglass the matt with carbon fiber , apply resin and sponge off excess, the matr just weights 1/3 as much so it drops weight a little.

got it.... I have worked with fiber glass before the resin even more. (Made a paper hat for burning man) Never used the carbon fiber.

Is it as strong?
