Well, the reason the metal one failed, was because one of the sides fell off. Also, the plastic one has been scrapped, motors taken from it. Neither ended up with any electronics, and I think as soon as I can get my hands on some thin HDPE, or recover the sheet I got ages ago, the one i made the ant with, so I can make another. I now go to an engineering college, so I can 3D print my own bots as well. Antweights only, though, they're only MakerBots, the small ones. I can also use Milling Machines. I just have no idea how to use SolidWorks. I can do basic things, but not much.

Bloody hell, it's been a while since I've been on! Does anyone even come on here any more? I've finally gotten myself back into combat Robotics, and plan to make a proper feather. Last summer, I had a go at one, the first metal one failed, and the second, made from chopping boards, looked really bad.
So, if anyone is still here, how are said people?

Well, I haven't been here in ages! I suppose it's due for an update, I've been too busy with other things to deal with it.
So, now I have a featherweight, formerly BarnsleyBot, now Twister. I got 11th in Burgess Hill, and I survived a good flipping from Explilision. (Yes, I'm stealing Haz's thing, deal with it.) The ant's broken, but I plan to fix it in the near future.
I'll be at The Royal Armouries event in Leeds, so everyone has a chance to laugh at my failures.

For once, I'm going with a (Hopefully) Working robot.

I'm sure they are.

Well, I'm currently charging the battery.

 The trimming don't seem to make a difference. The current problem is a fight with the charger.

Well, the robot refuses to go through one Chanel, and tends to throw an unpredictable fit. We're trying to see if the battery's flat, or if it's some other thing.

I have a problem. With my GiantCod Gear (Both the receiver and transmitter) With everything plugged in, nothing happens. There's a green flashing light, but when that's solid, it should be bound, iirc, but as I said, nothing happens.

Well, I have no better option, so yeah.

Oh. Glad I posted before buying.

I've had a look around GiantCod, and found a nice Charger, a Speed Controller (Although I may consider the Sabretooth, Haz) and the TX and receiver Plazmic Inferno mentioned. Thanks Guys.

What about a Speed Controller and a Li-Po charger? I know they sell them, although I don't know which is appropriate for a 240mAh one.

Well, just the Speed controller, TX and reciever. I'm just going to have another look around the FRA, see if I can find some decent bits.

So, there's no way that the things from The Robot Marketplace is going to come on time, or with enough build time, so I had a look around the FRA for an ant with all the components for the same price... Sadly, I've found nothing. Does anyone know where I could obtain one?

Ah, thanks. My brain refuses to process correctly, but I do get it.

The Sabretooth, in Vertigo's post on the first page.

So, I've been looking at the speed controller and other wires, and some things don't seem to make much sense. First of all, where does the battery fit into? There's a three prong slot in the receiver, but also the direct ones in the ESC.

Hooray, some parts have come. Oddly enough, with my my reciever, iirc, I got a sticker-y thing saying "Turnigy" I would love to know what in the world that is. I would post a picture, but the camera's hiding.

The closest thing I've got is school facilities. They do have good equipment though, and I should be able to ask them if I could use it. They're helpful, at some times.
