CheeseWej - 1 pound combat robot for plastic ant and full combat

thingiverse

Summary This is a design that the team from MACRObots helped me put together. http://macrobot.us/ View the 1 pound full combat ant in action (warning, I held my own for a while, and ultimately I lost this one, but learned a lot). https://youtu.be/ThTZIc7S3IM The larger wedge (printed in PLA+) works great in the plastic ant division (got 4th at Battle in the Backwoods June 2021 and that was only because the wedge got stuck in the crease between the kick panel and the floor) The smaller wedge (printed in Nylon-CF) was used for the full combat 1lb division.

If you like you can get everything you need run but the 3d prints you can go here. https://itgresa.com/product/naked-viper-kit/ Additional Notes: I used a steel plate cut to size as the lid for the 1 lb full combat I drilled a hole in the top of the lid to have easy access to the switch. Standard #6 by 1 inch metal screws should be sufficient for the plastic ant and I am working on a way to get a screw long enough to bolt on the end for the full combat.
