How have beetleweights cost less than antweights?

**razerdave** · 28th May 2011, 20:16

A lot of people who have built them have the parts spare from antweights. I have all my beetle bits from other projects.

smaller components can be more expensive, also the 5 amp speed controller (as used by many beetlewights) is also used in antweights

I really would like a BW FBS or bar/drum spinner but I don't have a clue what parts I would need

**jonny** · 28th May 2011, 20:25

here's a list of what i used:

2x Â£4 huge servos
10mm chopping board
2.5mm aluminium treadplate
wheels from a pushchair
6v 1ah nicad battery made from drill battery cells

i'm thinking about making a kilobot bar spinner in future but i'll have to see how much the bar will cost to be machined
