sorry for the delay in answering your query guys, I've been fighting with a virus that Norton hasn't even heard of....... I'll chase up some bits and pieces and get back to you in about 1 week. _________________ There is no such thing as excessive carnage.

These sozbots seem reall easy to build! I might get one together while i'm waiting on parts for my featherweight. I have a dead
"microracer" which would be good for a third channel on top of a modded cheap rc car.. _________________ ( •_•)

lol just build your own,
go out and find a dead dvd player, computer or vcr and hack all the belts gears and motors out of it and your halfway to building an antweight
and if you have a cybot even more so!
but in all honesty i think antweights are really an unnatainable goal to the common builder... unless you build a cardboard servo powered wedge. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

u r correct there aaron.
one thing which i thinks silly though is why dont we just build beetleweights now instead of ants. beetles are about 1.3-1.5 kg i think and it is more recognised.
whatever is good for the peeps though i dont really mine.
1kg is more original anyway's. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

NOOOOOOOO we live down south to every other robot comp in the world. as accordingly i think we should have a weight class all our own called the "What Ever The F*^! It Comes Up Too Aslong As Its Under 1kg" class we have to make a stand and not be pushed into building to overseas's classes _________________ as a shadow is seen and not heard i am here

Are we using the UK ants (with that 4 inch cube rule) or more the US ant/sozbot rules ?
And whats a cybot?
Cybot is one of those build-it-in-bits magazine style things. The bot itself is ok... but the reason some of us started to collect the magazine series is that it also features the UK robotwars bots (and articles on how to build a homemade "coke-bottle-powered" flipper bot) etc.etc [/quote] _________________ There is no such thing as excessive carnage.
