Re: first ant build diary!!!
God I'm nervous there's so many delays in building and testing I know it's only an ant but I'm a total moron with no experience I'm also scared cause the charger hasn't arrived and I haven't even ordered the transmitter.

Re: first ant build diary!!!
Well ok a bit of a controversial move but Totanomyrma might now be a 2 wheel block that's 1 cm tall armed with 2 screws as spikes it won't exactly be amazing but I might change it after a few test runs and competitions what do you think?

Just build something, it'll be a lot easier to do things once you're over the initial hurdle

Re: first ant build diary!!!
Im not sure I should beusing scissors to cut polycarbonate out its really tough (for me). I still strongly believe this is not going to look nice when finished .

Use better scissors or ask a nearby responsible adult for help.

Re: first ant build diary!!!
Well these are the best scissors in the house and im starting to get the hang of it (thought it is bloomin slow) and if worst comes to worst theres always a hack saw which I doubt will be used.
