It's constantly breaking. Both servos broke, one of them twice. The entire back panel snapped off when I tried to flip another robot and the flipper cant flip anything... Are there any better kits out there?

build your own its much more fun
I only really wanted a kit as I didnt really want to look around the internet for seperate parts.
perhaps this site could be of use: http://robotwars101.org/ants/shop/
Looks very nice, i'll look into buying it.
I started out with that kit, built the original F.I.N from it, and progressed from there.
You say the flipper won't flip anything, are robots just sliding off the flipper ? looks like they may because of the angle
Nope, even if a robot is up againts a wall it cant flip it. I guess the servo is just too weak.
Its an S3003, it shouldn't be too weak. Thats odd...
The flipper mechanism is very close to the hinge, making the flipper have a big arc but not as much strength. That could be the problem.
Hiya,
Depending on when you bought it, depends on what version you have. If it was an early one then the kits have changed slightly with each batch we make.
Different materials used, different servo mods, flipper mech tweaks etc...
There are even upgrades you can do yourself if you want to improve it. The kit is designed as a beginner kit, something which you can build on.
If we dont know you have problems we cant help you..... but.... we are here to help with your kit.
