There is no metal near (except the battery), and the battery is fully charged, and it still happens if the flipper servo is diconnected.

Size on the temp base is 90mm wide (between the outer edges of the wheels) and 100mm long, which is about where I'm aiming. Na...

The cunning plan (a weasel) is to: 1) Get some bits and pieces. 2) Just rough up a temporary base to get a grip of the sizes, weights etc etc as I've never seen an ant in the flesh. 3) Work out the layout of the components for the real ant 4) Produce a sensible base/ch...
