| I just remembered: tell Schimmel to forget about the audio/speaker wire. At the voltages you'll be using, the difference in resistance is almost impossible to notice in any way in the performance of the robot. Audio wire is made to handle low voltages as well as high, and since the drive and all is going to be running on a moderate voltage & current draw the 10-gauge should be fine. | |

| We took our bots as carry ons(just a tad bit lighter then spider pig tho haha) The security guys think there the coolest things and talk about watching them on TV People give you funny looks when you walk around with wooden carrying cases. We couldnt resist the temptation to take them out and show people either haha | |

| Very Nice. So that's an inch of what kind of steel there? Anyhow, that looks really, really nice. My roommate gives props to whoever did the wiring. | |

| Good Guess! the sides are all 3/4" and the front is 1".. so one would have to go through 2 inches of metal in order to get at anything! | |
