You might want to consider wearing the appropriate clothing for the occasion:</b> https://teespring.com/nl/antweight-battlebot-bulldog?pid=389&cid=100029 I was thinking about building one for a long time and finally started the design, bought the necessary components and put it together. I'm quite happy with the result so far. However, this bot has never fought so i don't know exactly how well it will perform in an actual game. The 3D-printed blade is great and the aluminium one is even better but i'm not sure how well the 3D-printed armor will hold up. I think this bot might be best suitable for games where only fully 3D-printed bots are allowed. The total weight of the bot comes in at around 144 grams and it fits within a 4*4*4 inch (101*101*101 mm) box, not flat but this isn't a requirement. All the rules about antweight battlebots can be found here: https://www.robotwars101.org/ants/rules.htm The reason I gave the bot the name "Bulldog" is because Bulldog ants or one of deadliest ant spieces in the world ;-) https://lakenormanpest.com/top-8-dangerous-ants-time/ Thank you to Flsun for providing me with their Q5 3D-printer. At first I was very sceptical about delta 3D-printers because i had bad experiences with them in the past. Delta printers are usually hard to set up and level because of their complex kinematics model. I didn't have any of these problems with the Q5 and this is my honest opinion. I think this is one of the best (if not the best) 3D-printer for absolute beginners. <b>You can buy one here:</b> https://www.banggood.com/Flsun-Q5-3D-Printer-Kit-200+200mm-Print-Size-Supprt-Resume-Print-With-TFT-32Bit-Mainboard-or-TMC2208-Slient-Driver-or-Colorful-Touch-Screen-p-1591796.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1312467 <b>More info, parts list, schematics, etc can be found here:</b> https://hackaday.io/project/175378-3d-printable-antweight-battlebot-bulldog <b> Components used:</b> 2 × 1050RPM 12v geared motors link: https://www.banggood.com/ChiHai-CHF-GM12-1215R-DC-Motor-12V-1050rpm-Mute-Torsion-Large-Hollow-Cup-Reduction-Gear-Motor-p-1424645.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1312880 2 × 10A RC car esc without brake link: https://www.banggood.com/10A-ESC-Brushed-Speed-Controller-For-RC-Car-And-Boat-Without-Brake-p-966363.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1312890 1 × BR1806 2280KV 1-3S Brushless-Motor (CCW) link: https://www.banggood.com/Racerstar-Racing-Edition-1806-BR1806-2280KV-1-3S-Brushless-Motor-CW-or-CCW-For-250-260-for-RC-Drone-FPV-Racing-p-1065664.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1312894 1 × 10A brushless esc link: https://www.banggood.com/RW_RC-10A-Brushless-ESC-5V1A-BEC-2S-3S-for-RC-Models-Fixed-Wing-Airplane-Drone-p-1621812.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1312900 1 × Spektrum reveiver (buy only when you already have a spektrum transmitter) link: https://www.banggood.com/2_4G-6CH-S603-RC-Receiver-Supported-JR-Spektrum-DSM-X-DSM2-Transmitter-p-961733.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1294229 1 × 180mAh lipo battery link: https://www.banggood.com/5-X-ZOP-Power-7_4V-180mAh-25C-40C-2S-Lipo-Battery-JST-Plug-for-RC-Models-p-1243477.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1312908 1 × Flysky FS-I6 (buy only when you don't already have a transmitter and receiver) link: https://www.banggood.com/FlySky-FS-i6-2_4G-6CH-AFHDS-RC-Radion-Transmitter-With-FS-iA6B-Receiver-for-RC-FPV-Drone-p-983537.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1312923 1 × A cheap lipo charger in case you don't already have one link: https://www.banggood.com/IMax-B6-50W-5A-Battery-Balance-Charger-With-12V-5A-Power-Supply-XT60-Parallel-Board-p-1460759.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1313191 <b>Tools used:</b> SMD rework station: https://www.banggood.com/YAOGONG-8878D-2-In-1-SMD-Rework-Soldering-Station-Hot-Air-Gun-Welding-Solder-Iron-Repair-Tool-p-1348341.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1206705 PLA filament: https://www.banggood.com/Creality-3D-White-or-Black-or-Yellow-or-Blue-or-Red-1KG-1_75mm-PLA-Filament-For-3D-Printer-p-1290153.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=926158 Paypal: https://paypal.me/BrockenBrian <b>Feel free to take a look at my other designs:</b> 3D printable antweight battlebot: Bulldog: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4623536 SpaceX inspired edf rocket: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4606751 3D printed high torque servo/gearbox version 2: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4547703 UMC - Universal motion controller: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4245315 3D-printable Davinci catapult gift card: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4067668 Arduino controlled photogrammetry 3D-scanner: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3958326 Fully 3D-printable turntable: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3723618 RC FPV tank rover: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3587738 Fully 3D-printable wind-up car gift card: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3308710 3D-printable High torque servo/gear reduction: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3292860 'BOOM box' high voltage capacitor bank case: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2980012 Subby the interactive youtube subscriber robot: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2928254 robot hand || bionic hand prosthesis prototype: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2838239 3D-printable linear actuator: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2783959 Mini 3D-printable crossbow: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2710472 8 legged spider robot: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2470882 best 3D-printable bearing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2349065 Have a nice day!
