looks good!
just be aware the copper on the PCB will kill radio. At our ranges it might be good enough but if you have a problem thats where to start looking.

yeh i was worried about that, but was all i could find, if i covered the copper would that help

not really...

radio waves will pass through alot of materials... copper it wont, so if you covered the copper than in all likely hood the radio waves will pass through the covering and still hit the copper....your best bet would probably be to remake the top panel with some form of plastic... polycarb would be the best bet, you could pick up some 1mm sheet cheap enough and that will likely significantly help radio functions.... though put it all together and test it out you might just get away without having to resort to that

isn't the simplest way to find someone to etch the copper for you. Maybe leave in a funky deign.

I was gonna suggest the same as Mike. Etch the sucker Also thought about the crazy idea of turning the top panel into an aerial for the radio by etching a track the correct size for 0.125 (I'm avoiding Imperialism ) wave length

Why stop there?!

Just to let you know dylon my ant weighs 161g to be precise, so you might want to start lightening yours considering how much more crap yours has ! XD

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

LMFAO! Pete Colier went to the extreme on that version of Militant

Thats not Pete Colliers ant, its Peter Wallers Miliant which weights 150g!

Indeed, It has the Peter Waller trademark buildstyle all over it.

well my ant is nearly finished, just gotta get some new pots for the servos, and take off about 10g more in weight

only because of a gentlemens agreement to make it a 170g limit for the next event because he so overweight XD
mmMMm i now have over 20g for more armour.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

i can see tons of places to remove weight. cut off the top of the frame just behind the brushless as it does nothing it seems, and attack that aluminium channel! i can see it oozing weight

well this today i remade beetle, not quite finished the weapon needs some spacers to stop it from going side to side on the shaft but yeh its pretty much a box with a bar nothing fancy was gonna slant the back but ran out of time tomoro will paint it to get rid of the uglyness the welds make .


as for the other small robots, gotta take a trip to jaycar tomoro to pick up some trimpots to get the servos going (note: dont glue the pots of micro servos), helix is all good cant wait till i get some money together and stick a brushless in it.
they will all be ready for next saturday i hope

looking good.
if you have the weight think about putting some kind of diagonal in to support the weapon uprights so they don't tip over if something comes in from the side.
