It wasn't quite as finished as I first thought I hadn't tested it inverted.
The ty-wrap on the battery which I added as an after thought stopped both wheels touching the ground at the same time so I double sided taped the batteries in.
The shaft on the brushless motor wasn't quite long enough to stop the blade touching the deck so I added a blob of epoxy to it.
Finally I shaped the end of the blades it is now 0.2 gms under weight.

This photo gives an idea of how small the planet gears in the 6mm gearmotors are.

It wont be finished for the AWS as I need to get some more DT receiver controllers but this is what I am planning.

Finally finished the 4WD nano which has come out at 20.2 gms with titanium scoops.

It is a bit slow due to the very small wheels but has a bit more pushing power.
