====== Armour ====== Armour protects the internal components of the robot from damage and flying debris that has been dislodged by an attack. [[Antweights]] started off using cardboard and plastic sheeting as armour, however today there is a great variety of (much stronger) materials that provide suitable protection. Some popular materials include: * **HDPE** - the most recently introduce material, provides a good balance between strength, weight and cost. * **Titanium** - has great strength while remaining light, however is often very expensive and difficult to find in thicknesses suitable for Antweight use. * **Polycarbonate** - light, cheap and easily sourced. Provides decent protection, however it struggles to stand up to the most powerful spinning weapons. * **Aluminium** - heavier than Titanium and not as strong, however it is cheaper and easier to work with.
