What type of drive motor should I use on my Antweight and what RPM should it be? I want to build on but am lost on what to use...
@bldjln31584 жыл бұрын
Buy a kit for your first robot and learn off of it. To answer your question I need to know your wheel diameter. I use 250rpm motors with 3” wheels, this is slower than many other robots but I like slower speeds for my driving style.

would you be allowed to run a antweight off of an micro-controller such as an aurduino that's connect to a phone through wifi or Bluetooth to reduce costs a little

Yes that's totally ok and a few people do it.

AntweightRobots. I think my antweight which is in the latter design stages may be the first 6wd antweight. I think my potential entry may be one of the most powerful pushers ever seen being 6wd and all.

the 4 inch cube means that you can have a robot being about 5" long if you really squeeze it in. Large servos can be used for speed control, you remove the potentiometer and replace it with some resistors. More information on this can be found on the robotwars101 forum.
