Nanoweight Robots
As you may have seen from my build thread, there's been a fair amount of interest in starting an actual Nanoweight robot class.
Current Nanoweights rules are:
Must fit in a 50mm cube
Must weigh under 25g
All other rules are the same as that for ants.
There's currently some rough plans to hold a competition for this weight class at the end of the next AWS and at the Antweight Open.

Re: Nanoweights Robots
I've got the parts for 2 arriving tomorrow hopefully
The design for one is already done and printing, Still trying to work out what to do with the second one

We still need an arena, which'll probably be about 50cmx50cm. We'll need some polycarb round it as well, though 1mm would probably be perfectly adequate...

Re: Nanoweight Robots
is there a list of parts that doesn't involve modified servos as i can't modify them myself?

Re: Nanoweight Robots
I'll see what I can rustle up arena wise but I don't think I have enough Poly to encase it?

Re: Nanoweight Robots
We did have a dudeweight class a while go that was 1oz 28.3g I think that was a 1" cube. 2" cube 25g would an interesting challenge to drive.
TEAM GEEK!
Re: Nanoweight Robots
They're not too bad to drive, I just find them more interesting to build; I can churn out ants at an alarming rate these days.
Nanoweights are a little more of a challenge to do as much as possible with a tiny weight, and take up less space in my tool box
Hogi, the only option really which doesn't require mods is to use these: http://www.technobotsonline.com/solarbo ... motor.html with these http://www.robotshop.com/en/solarbotics ... heels.html tires (someone check that's right.). I believe it's the same as Alsoran uses, but it's not overly cheap...

Re: Nanoweight Robots
Also, if someone (probably Will..) could 3D print a 50mm cube then that'd be more accurate than using a cardboard one.. Also I'm sure we could splash out on some 1mm polycarb for the job.. if not we can just have a raised platform in the middle of the antweight arena like we did with the fleas, though that's less helpful for running events side by side..

Re: Nanoweight Robots
so, would i have to run those motors with some form of speed controller board? are any recommended? if nanoweights take off i'll probably build once i've got the money ( probably christmas. it'd also be nice to have something propper to cluster transit ant with as well.

Re: Nanoweight Robots
Struggling to find much enthusiasm for these myself but if someone is going to have a 6 part clusterbot entered into the AWS then that's something I really look forward to seeing!
