It's a semi-artbot walker. It doesn't matter how inefficient it is, as long as it looks bädass.

And it does.
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......

all these copals hnnng

pretty sure your batteries drain very fast with 19 motors though...

also yeah, a hammer with a grip and turnspeed that low ? I know it's made to be cool but still derp.

Yeah, the ant battery blip can't save me now. :P Originally I was using Astroflight motors (and 20 of them) but they were way too heavy. As it stands, the 18 Copals, 18 "Plus" Connectors, and the 36 Pole Spikes weigh in at 666kg. Not intentional, but funny nonetheless. Considering walkers only get a 400kg weight allotment that's ridiculously over the grace period. It was difficult making the bot combat-ready and within the 1600kg weight limit for SHW walkers. It was much faster with the Astroflights but also stretched into 1700 or so in weight. Maybe if there's a UHW tournament I can patch it up and make a Mk II of it, haha.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Actually with around 30 ants (that's "only" 200 kg) you should be just fine.

You should definitely be able to build that with a 1600kg weight limit as well.
