Nope, hella expensive too, I think I might go with PVC and scrape everything off the wood and mount it on 6mm PVC

There’s no Home Depot or Lowe’s near you? I walked into a Home Depot and walked out with a handful of free paint mixing sticks. Hard not to look shifty-eyed as you just grab a bunch and walk out, but they ARE free after all They’re certainly not hardwood or anything, but good enough for the crap little robots I make

Nice start. It’s amazing how much quicker a project goes when you use hot glue instead of worrying about removable connections like bolts and brackets, huh?
Dan
Its much faster and is
Its much faster and is probably just as convienent to take off, just heat up that stuff and ur good to go
The ones you get in Denmark
The ones you get in Denmark is actually hardwood. I always wondered why, but it is really good quality.

I took some of the paint sticks from home depot, and i was freakin out thinking some security guy would come up behind me and just stare me down shivers
YDM loves hot glue
Hot glue all the way! To make soldering easier on yourself, buy a good soldering station. Nothing radioshack sells will do the job right. Spend $90-120 on either a weller or a hakko. My weller broke. I now own a hakko. The hakko has not broken It heats up in less than 15 seconds which is quite useful.
Good luck, and our robots shall drum to the death someday.
