"This Side Up" - Antweight Mini Bot

Description

This is just a little drive bot for testing things out with. This little bot also has a slot in the back that a rope or similar tail can be tied onto to entice a cat to chase it (assuming the cat is interested)

Purchased Parts

• Repeat Robotics Dual ESC
• 300mah 2S LiPo pack
• 2 Turnabot N20 Motors (I used 1400 RPM, you might want to go lower)
• 2 Banebots T40 wheel hubs (3mm shaft)
• 2 Banebots T40 Wheels (1 7/8" diameter)
• M2 x 4 screws and heat set inserts

Not included in this list are a receiver and transmitter, I had these already so I include these in my parts list.

Battery Mount

The battery mount can be glued into the chassis wherever is convenient in order to fit the electronics around it. I installed mine slightly to the side to fit the receiver on the other side of it. It also fits a velcro strap around it to hold in the battery pack.

Pivot

The pivot is optional and slots vertically into the chassis in the back to allow something to be tied to the bot.

Lid

The lid bolts into place with heat set inserts and screws. There are 5 screw positions but only 3 are really needed to hold it on.
