Re: Nanoweight Robots
nano servos and a lemon rx would be cheap and a great place to start, you could build the base of a nano weight could come in at under £15
Re: Nanoweight Robots
I just find them hilarious and cheap, plus they can be clustered with almost anything :L I'm not expecting this to take off in a big way, but just think it'll be something to see quite how much people can fit into such tight constraints.
And you will need an ESC for those motors, though a Deltang Rx has built in ESCs, though you won't have a reverse. Other than that the smallest dual ESC I can think of is a NanoTwo

Re: Nanoweight Robots
I use these:
Drive Servos: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... duct=28406
Batteries: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... duct=63088
(just because then they can all go in one order) With a Lemon Rx that comes in around £10 for two drive servos, battery and receiver...
It's a bit like the old days of antweights with everything having servo drive.. Fortunately no 40MHz jitter though :L

Re: Nanoweight Robots
can i possibly pay someone to mod the servos for me? i now admit in front of the entire forum of roboteers that i am what some may describe as a “noob”!

Re: Nanoweight Robots
I could mod some for you (don't worry, I'm modding Will's and Alex's for them as well, so don't feel too bad :L).

Re: Nanoweight Robots
You can get forward and reverse using the Deltang Rx43d-3-v5.
If you set H1 and H2 outputs to what they call half stick control (centre off) you can use the two 400ma full bridge outputs.
I can't seem to get mixing but I can do that on the transmtter.
Thats the battery I have ordered so it is good to see it is man enough.

Re: Nanoweight Robots
I still get people to mod servos if I want to go old school. Normal ones are too fiddly for me, let alone ones of this size.

Re: Nanoweight Robots
I know what you mean I had to modify these gear motors and that was hard enough but easier than the tiny servo's.
Here it is starting to take shape so far 13 gms without battery, lifter servo or power switch / socket.

Re: Nanoweight Robots
Looking good Pete! I have one of those batteries in MiniDozer which has 5 servos, and it goes for ages (contrary to my previous post on the subject where it just wasn't charged )
Hogi, I could buy you the servos, modify them, then attach them to a Lemon Rx (I have plenty in stock) if that's easier? Would come in at around £20 in total. Do you have a transmitter with mixing?
