Antweight

ANT Weight Category

Our smallest weight class, where the robots fit into the palm of your hand. Due to their size, this is the ideal category for entering the world of combat robots, and we would recommend it to all beginners.

• Weight limit: standardly 150 grams.
• Dimensions: robots must fit into a box with a base of 15 x 15 cm; height is unlimited.

Electronic components are cheap and easily replaceable in case of failure. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find very small parts, so motors and electronics take up a large portion of the total weight, leaving little weight remaining for creating more complicated mechanisms.

The bodies of Antweight robots are usually made on a 3D printer. Many designs can be downloaded for free from the internet and then easily printed. Printed bodies are inexpensive and easy to repair, for example, using glue or a 3D pen.

However, this category is not just for beginners; even Antweight robots can be powerful and highly destructive, often utilizing advanced materials such as titanium, aluminum, or carbon fiber. The advantage of this category is that the principles you learn here can also be applied in higher weight categories.
