It looks great ewan, I'm liking the fact you're using Banebots, underated as small robot controller IMHO, I use them in 2 of my antweights.

BTW, FYI, 75g is a weight class limit, just but beetle, its the Fleaweight limit (next size robots down from Antweights)

Really looks like my antweight

[ewan]

woahh, talk about 'great minds'! have you got any video of that machine? I reckon the two robots I took most inspiration from were http://lazytoad.com/teamtoad/avalanche.html and http://www.irobot.com/gi/ground/510_PackBot , though now it just looks like I've copied you =p

Also wish I had the equipment to bend metal like that >.<

Its a good design all round, the weaker version with a carbon fibre scoop actually won AWS 31

Really reminds me of the antweight Shazbot from Team Nightmare. Great job!

I was planning a robot like that, but I might not build one like it now

Changed the arm-servo from the cheapo chinese one to a modified Hitec HS-7954SH. The previous one had stripped a few teeth so I'm hoping this one will be more up to the rather violent motion the arm goes through when 'somersaulting'.
