Hi Ben

tecnobots do robot servos wich if you bolt lego wheels on them you have drive.

you could just use normal servos for the lifter

Hi Ben,

The Technobots servos might be a bit heavy for an Antweight as they are over 60g each, I recommend you take a look at the RobotWars101 forum at http://www.robotwars101.org/phpBB

Its more Antweight orientated and there is an FAQ section which will answer some of your questions and show you popular places to buy parts from :)

Good luck!

'What thinkness of aluminium should I use as armour?'

Answer: Don't. Aluminium is really not great ant armour, 1mm can be used but against a spinner would get fairly easily chewed up, and by the time you've thicked it up enough to withstand the attacks, you'd have been better off with 0.5mm Titanium or 2-4mm HDPE
