This is the construction and assembly of my latest 3D printed Antweight (150 gram) bot, Rollcage!
Rollcage is about as simple as you can get for an antweight bot. He is a standard wedge/pusher bot and is perfect for anyone looking to get into some robot fighting. We will be using the Rollcage design to make a few spares for newcomers to try out and fight with.
I've put his design up on Thingiverse. Check it out for more details on how to assemble your own Rollcage!

Parts list:
- 2x 50:1 microgear motors. http://botbitz.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=64&product_id=55
- 2x Pololu 42x19mm wheels. https://www.robotgear.com.au/Product.aspx/Details/300-Pololu-Wheel-42-x-19-mm-pair-with-rubber-tread-tire
- 2x brushed ESC's. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/131645159656?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
- RC trigger style 2 channel transmitter and reciever. I am using a Flysky FS-GT3C in this video but this Hobbyking transmitter is cheaper and will work just as well. hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=72930
- 260mAh battery (this higher capacity is only used so it can go several matches without a charge and Rollcage had plenty of weight to spare). hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=37342
- V-Tail Mixer. hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=46730
