Xbee it, should be able to trigger it with the available ADC's on the xbee without a need for a micro on the remote. Just a push button and a resistor attached to one of the ADC's for a function. Could probably wire up a clicker pot for multiple functions

I will have a feather and fairy. Both will probably not be driven by me if I am EO. I am thinking I will get some volunteers from the edge and let them enter an Edge robot.

/nit pick
The UK Ants (150g) existed before the US ants (454g), so they are the real antweights. The 454g bots were originally known as SozBots (Sixteen Oz Bots).


Will have 2 antweights (150g) and a featherweight for the June event

Everything I have written has referred to them as Antweights. Though maybe I should write "antweight (150g)" from now on to avoid any confusion.

Call them ants. We sound bad enough saying that we play with our bots without talk of playing with the fairies.

you wanna build something that weighs 150 grams then you are indeed a fairy Laughing

i always go by the US nomenclature anyway. given they participate in about 10 more classes then the UK does.
