Ant Weight Robot Builds

One more is the requirements still 150g and fit in a 4inch cube? I've seen bigger size wise still calling there robots ant weight

Those would be Americans who are just confused with their imperial everything US 'antweights' are 1lb (454g) with no size limit, which might be where the confusion comes from.

You can get up to an extra 40mm in one direction usually with the diagonal of the cube (obviously this has to be done with wedges, I find it helps to just draw a square on some paper and lie the robot on its side on top!). Fitting in the cube and weight both come quite easily with time; especially the size, as the realisation comes that the smaller you make the robot the heavier the armour can be!

Nice work on the soldering James it's a skill that never really leaves you...

I couldn't put that better myself.

Thanks hopefully they do the job.
