something he and his robot share, apparently ;)

Looking forward to seeing it drive into my room and steal something. More looking forward to watching it actually fight. :D

Make sure to battle harden the motors, especially for a bot that is mainly designed to charge into the spinnners.

This is amazing. My friend and I are planning on building robots on our own to fight eachother. It's been a dream since we were five and watched Robot Wars. Our plan is to start with SumoBots and work our way up to the bigger robots. Though we don't have that much money or time so we probably won't be able to build RW-robots in a near future...

how much money do you have? you could probably build an antweight for less than £70.

This, you can make a bot on just about any budget if you don't plan on competing with it though as any things can be re-purposed depending on what weight you are building to. Ants or Beetleweights are a good place to start on a low budget though as they are significantly cheaper than other classes and are a nice size to work with starting out.

From my experience in the last few months, beetles are nicer to build than ants unless you have a 3d printer handy :P

I find ants easier to make since you can make them in an evening :P

What's the cat? Featherweight? What's its weapon?

Also how wedgy is your wedge?

Use 2mm bullet connectors for the ESCS and motors.

also you might wanna file down the front edge of the lifter wedge so it has a "lip" in front. that makes it harder to get under

something like this:
