Such an awesome looking machine, kudos to Rick

Will: Do you still have the crushing claw and big servo that came with Frostbite originally ?

Black Knight looks brilliant- can't wait to see it running!

Still got the claw and servo- hasn't been used in a while but still got it.

Some of you may have noticed that Ant Awe 5 has been looking a bit tired and worn out over the last few events so I decided to give it a much needed rebuild.

It now features a new chassis with removeable shell (as on Ant Awe 6). This has made it much easier to work on and the drive and flipper now work a lot better.

Here are some pics (it still needs another coat of paint and the stickers added)

...8mm ali? Must be an American ant then :P

I might as well list mine here, Jigsaw's glaring at me...

Jigsaw IV
Weight: 150g
Dimensions: 140 x 100 x 63 mm...in theory...it refused to wedge into the cube in Richmond :P
Drive: 2 75.7:1 Sanyo gearmotors run from a 180mah 2 cell 7.4v LiPo and Waller Option D speed controller
Armour: 1.5mm and 0.75mm polycarbonate, 1mm aluminium, acetate
Weapon: HPXF servo powered front hinge flipper/self righter, what Scott refers to as 'awesome cat ears' which are actually self righting assisting devices
Notes: Jigsaws I, II and III were all not especially good and actually followed Asimov's laws of robotics, in that they rejected just about any orders they got and didn't do all that much except randomly twitch until defeat...Spektrum's a wonderful technology, it really is :P
Uses bits from project boxes and video cases
First robot I built that people thought was well engineered, despite me still working on the flipper linkage at 11PM the night before the event
Status: Alive and kicking

Little Yellow Taxi
Weight: 75g-ish
Dimensions: 95 x 73 x 30 mm (excluding aerial)
Drive: 2 SuperTec Naro HP servos, powering homebrew wheels running on a regulated 5v from a 7.4v 2 cell 135mah LiPo
Armour: 0.5mm carbon fibre, 0.75mm polycarbonate
Weapon: E-Flite Park 180 brushless motor powered 50mm long titanium blade/bar/untethered projectile running at ~15,000rpm
Notes: First brushless fleaweight spinner (apparently), has never been all that successful yet still seems to really scare everyone :P and can tear into titanium but strangely not tape?
Status: Being rebuilt, bits are on my desk atm

Time for my ant

[attachment=0:1m1ylid1]Stack error v2.jpg[/attachment:1m1ylid1]

Name: Stack error
Weight: Currently unknown but about 25g for the main body and 75g of drive, weapon servo etc components leaving 50g for wheels, a hinge , a linkage and the flipper it self.
Dimensions: Roughly 100 x 100 x 45 mm
Drive: 2 x Tower Pro MG90S Servos
Weapon: A HPXF powered flipper. Will be rear hinged if I can find/make a light enough hinge for it otherwise front hinged with the hinged bit of a plastic folder as its hinge.
Armour: The final version will be armoured in 2mm pcb when I can find the etching chemicals to remove the copper. However, I will make a prototype from CD jewel cases (convieniently also 2mm thick) to see If I can cut it by hand easily or if I'll need to borrow a laser.
