Re: AWS 52 - Greenwich University - Sign up + details

I'm coming. Generally there's a big surge in sign ups towards the end. I think most people are either trying to finish bots before they enter them. Don't worry, yes, the Grantham event is on at the same time, but I reckon you've just got to be patient. This event looks to be a lot of fun. It is bett...

Re: 40Mhz Transmitters

There shouldn't really be a problem. I used 25mhz first time round. Some have used infrared too! The only issue would be too many bots on the one frequency, but since 99% are 2.4G, it should be fine!

Re: AWS 52 - Greenwich University - Sign up + details

Would it not be better to do the sign up direct on AntLog?

Re: Antweight crusher need help!

I really like your crusher design. Personally I would stick with the motor rather than the servo and include a current limiter to prevent stalling the motor. If you are really keen on using a servo to check out hobby king : https://hobbyking.com/en_us/servos/all.html?___store=en_us A lot of them spe...

Re: My first ant was not a success: Onto the second!

Ideally, your servo arm goes parallel with your flipper. From the video, yours is the opposite, if you see what I mean.
You will get more movement from the flipper if it attaches nearer the flipper hinge.
