the whole point of these kits whether it be the battle ratz or ant weights is to get people into the sport via an easier route. you see a lot of people who get stuck and end giving up on a feather weight project where as introduction via a kit lets you get to a finished robot and experience the basics of the sport.

when i first joined it was the zeobot kits which were the kit option, they cost more than the battle ratz and well weren't the best i have to say, but it introduced me to the world of robots which was great.

i think that post was a bit harsh and not needed i think it's a good idea as even now i wouldn't know how to build a decent antweight and i've been doing robots for nearly 6 years now, so for a younger enthusiast it would be a great way into the sport
