Antweight Combat - Scoop of Mild Frustration

thingiverse

A solid entry level antweight (150g) combat robot. Comes with two bodies - one with a scoop to get under other robots wheels, and one as a simple pusher. Use as in for a non-destructive / plastic league, or add a metal sheet in front of the arms and push spinners into pits in a combat league. Great build for beginners as it is both light, and had a big open cavity to put all the electrics and motors in. The front arms make this a bit bit for a UK bot, but you could trim as needed. Has mounts for n20 gears, and any basic switch can be glued into place on the back. Will take any wheel from 40-60mm. Is great with the Pololu 42x19mm wheel (super grippy, and within weight), or a Pololu 60x8mm, or even a Fingertech 2 x 1/2" thick wheel. Uses m3 screws to hold down the mounts and kid the lid in place. They screw straight into the plastic (effectively self-tapping), with no need for other captive nuts. I've used this for 10+ events and haven't had an issue with it holding closed. It can be hard to get them in the first time, but afterwards it's great.
