Great stuff, the weight saving is modest but it sounds like they'll work just fine.

Thanks for the write-up.

You're very welcome. The weight saving may not sound like a lot, but used correctly it can make a big difference.
For instance, my first candidate for these is Vampire, saving 2.8g. I'm planning to use this extra weight to lengthen the bar, moving from its current 13cm, 17g weapon to a 15cm 20g one. The increased reach will make it harder for opponents to hit me without getting hit first, and the extra length and weight increases the energy by over 50% - undeniably a major upgrade.

Those N10s look like they'll be very useful, considering the smaller size

Please, George, think of the other competitors. Vampire is already one of the most destructive bots and has wrecked several others lately.

Can't you just replace it with a feather duster tickling stick or something?

Vampire's not so bad, bolt on some half decent armour and you'll beat it easily.

That said, I'm sure you might be pleased to hear that my next ant is going to have no active weapons of any kind, not even a feather duster!

Sunnysky r1106 - they're the most robust of the little 110X size motors I've found.
