first ant build diary!!!

If it requires screws to be removed then that wouldn't be allowed. You'd need to either need a different way of securing the lid (like tape), or use a switch.

Tape doesn't sound to secure and I wouldn't know how to connect a switch but I should be able to do one or the other where do I get the switch and where would I put it? (sorry for being naggy)

I think shakey sells them but duct tape is a lot better than you think and Dan has won the flea weights with a duct tape flap and numerous ants have coped fine

[botomatic1000]

Ductape it is then.

[Occashokka]

The one rule of robots is you must always rely on the powerful amazement that is duct tape

[botomatic1000]

Ok how bizzare.

[botomatic1000]

arghh I really cant think of a design im not sure what to design other than a wedge.

[joey_picus]

well, if you needed an excuse to binge watch Robot Wars, do that as inspiration Oliver's site has loads and loads of pictures of past antweights as well. You can get just about any shape by bending plastic and metal and with a little creativity, so let your imagination run riot!

Thanks the only real idea I had was a mini steel sandwich thing but I dunno could you bend the poly carbonate? I don't really want to because I just want a simple strait boxy wedge but anyways I will make many cardboard designs if I can.

I think I will go with the steel sandwich type design maybe make a mini me lol anyways im still waiting to get some more money for more stuff.
