Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
great! will you be coming to antfreeze in nuneaton in janurary? i think the nano will have mixing. you can drive it in the clusterbot if you want.

Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
Absolutely! Thanks very much! I''ll be there.
Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
i should have the nano up and running by then, if not it'll be the hexbug

Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
to charge one of those batterys in Rory's link, could we just solder another couple of wires to it and then use crocodile clips to charge it? as for the nano itself, i built it today, it'll be a bit tight in the cube but it should go in on the diagonal. it only weighs 15 grams at the moment but that's without the battery. the chasis is made out of 1mm HDPE so it shouldn't be effected by nano spinners too badly. here's a pic.

Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
I built this little charge port in mine:
It's a spare bind plug (or any servo connector) cut down to 2 pins, I then have that charge lead which is 2 header pins soldered to wires with a JST on the other end so I just plug it into my antweight LiPo charger. The servo plug is wired straight to the +ve and -ve of the battery, it doesn't have polarity protection so just watch out when you charge.

Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
so if i made a lead with a jst on one end and a servo connectoor cut down to two pins on would that work? i could solder a servo plug to the battery for the plug to plug into?
something like this with a servo plug soldered to the battery.

Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
This should explain better. So the servo plug (female) goes on the battery. The header pins which act as the male end of the servo plug are on a JST. All you need to do to charge is plug the middle lead (which is kind of an adapter I guess) to your standard ant charging cable.
You could of course attach header pins straight to some plugs to go in the charger but I found this was easier and I didn't have any spare charge leads to sacrifice

Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
we have a charger with a servo plugin port on the end of it. would it be alright to just solder a servo plug onto the battery and then plug it into the charger? the charger has autodetect and can charge anything from 1 volt to 12 volts. the battery is the one in Rory's link and the servo plug is just a standard three pin one. if this would work, which wire from the servo plug would go into which end of the battery or would they all go into the same end? thanks.

Re: team hectic nanoweight build.
so here it is. covered in penguin tape for extra protection and ready to go. it doesn't have awefully good run time but will easily see out a five minute session. speed is not it's strong point either but it does run inverted and it should at least have enough power to wedge itself in underneath an ant so that TA can come in for a big push. will be fun to drive at least.
