GG Battle Robot
I’m going to design & build a robot-wars inspired battle robot with a servo-driven axe weapon, wireless radio frequency remote control, LCD display, RGB lights, and audio sound effects. The radio frequency remote will consist of a custom designed PCB, a joystick module & extra control buttons. (Please see BOM in Github for component links)

Hi, we need cart screenshots from where you're planning to buy your parts. Additionally, you mention "PCB costs" in your BOM but do not have a PCB as far as I can see. Finally, please set your grant amount equal to your final BOM amount, thanks!

Importing components
I imported 3D models of the electronic components into Fusion 360 so I can fully visualise their placements, applied textures to my robot and updated my github

Chassis design
I finished designing my robot chassis for 3D printing - took many iterations. I ended up with a single servo-driven axe weapon that rests on the slanted part of the chassis and swings forwards on command.
I made holes in the base for the speaker audio, small indents for magnets so I can connect the bottom & top halves, and added text to the chassis for some extra personalisation.

Planned out where the components will go in the robot
I did a sketch of the setup for my custom battle robot project with the hardware placement. For example what will go on the breadboard, what battery devices I will need to power my components & what motor drivers I will need for my TT motors
