weighs less.

I still use it whenever I don't have enough room in my lightweights

The small control board is only viable if making enough room for the larger one wastes>1kg

I didn't think that 1kg made such a difference.

It can, especially in AW/BW

SteveM4 · « **Reply #224 on:** August 11, 2010, 01:42:27 PM »

Forgot about the AW and BW.

Any advise for a good AW/BW design?

Rammers are an easy start, just have a tiny chassis and a single weapon rack with weapons angled up and down.

I have experimented with rammers in the past but all lost to the DSL Roly Poly!

Roly poly is a LW so outweapons you.

True...

I am attempting to build my first successful FW (Feather weight <100kg) and my wheels make the bot havok constantly.
The bot weighs 89.5kg if it helps.

Solved the problem, I had too mush power, 1 ant Battery was all it needed.

Bug Blade

Li'l Ripper

Quad post!
Only a quad because no one posted

Anyhow, I am experimenting with my <100kg weight class. MW (Micro weight)
and these bots are actually quite effective.

Also mini replicas of full-size bots are fun too!

I like Lil Ripper. Looks great.

Havoks are the biggest enemies of building smaller bots. I had a couple of Antweights totally flip out all over the place when I was building them. Frustrating.

Cool stuff!

You're doing great KM!

Somebody · « **Reply #234 on:** August 16, 2010, 08:22:52 PM »

MW would never work because it is commonly used for Middleweights. And I didn't post because I have never found joy in (or built) an AW or BW. Their fights are just too boring for me.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #235 on:** August 16, 2010, 08:34:51 PM »

So what shall I call these <100 class?
KMW (KM Weight!)?

Havoks are the biggest enemies of building smaller bots.

Havoks also are a danger to any NAR AI bot.
Especially one that gets on Havok 6's new flipper design!

In the US 350gram bots are called fairyweights. (US ants weigh 1 pound) I think TX or FOTEPX tried to start a tourny with them once and calling them fairyweights.

freeziez · « **Reply #237 on:** August 17, 2010, 06:59:22 AM »

No, it was FOTEPX with the Fleaweight face-off.

No, before that one there was an idea for a <100 tourney

SteveM4 · « **Reply #239 on:** August 17, 2010, 07:30:48 AM »

I like the sound of a <100 tourny
