They may not be good for mini sumo robots where you have 500g to play with but for an ant they should have enough torque.

I'd build it like an antweight flipper but with a much bigger servo. A servo tester with a push button attached in the right place would allow you to fire it without using a transmitter.

I'm pretty certain that if you send a pulsout command every 20ms to a servo you can drive it. You'll have to figure out what value to give the pulsout as it depends on the clock speed of the chip. Then chuck it in with something like this so you don't have to do as much maths on the chip, save an ou...

Tried it for a 4s lipo, blew up 3/4 of the cells in the process. If you do want to solder them together then it's easy to pull of the plastic cap but be careful about shorting out the connections (Fried one cell that way). I cut off the micro jst connectors and soldered the remaining wire to the cor...

Is that the one you meant?
I can really see the resemblance.

If he can get them to sync properly he can use a lower gear ratio on the motor due to the extra torque and have a faster axe.

Lol well you should see them running 2 motors off 3 Half Bridges.

I just saw the video of it spinning on the spot and am thoroughly confused and more convinced that it runs on magic.

Also, much easier to do things as an assembly in pro/d.

How about something like:

Each botlet can weigh up to the maximum allowed for it's locomotion as long as the total weight is <= the max weight limit.

I really should get some of those instead of attempting to solder lipos together.
