my only thought at this moment is: Does this guy have the smallest hands ever or are those wheels huge?

Nah,they are, They're better then my original ones as they can at least make invertible when its in the right position

And thanks, this is my best and 4th attempt at making this, but what would you say what I should do next time I build it

I would suggest looking at your components and try to find affordable lighter ones. Even though I never build an antweight (yet) the machine at this point eyes a bit bulky. Once you find a setup that suits you, you can trim all the wires to slightly more than you really need to save additional weight (just a few grams generally).

Otherwise, I can't be more of assistance since this is not a weightgroup I've delved in.

Well, Haz (harry hills) is selling me some stuff, it's just that he hasn't sorted out delivery etc yet

HDPE 1mm thick, with 99.9% of the robot's components being sellotape

I also have a plan for a beetle (Version 1, but oh well):


I hope the images work

Tape is the best building material ever! My ant is held together with it

Joint project between me and the 5 yr old
