For the flipper, its just a small relay that I put 12v into to fire (its spring return). I click the switch which connects the relay to the power.
the pit is done on a 3-position switch, 1 side puts power through the actuator motor one way, click the other way, it sends it the other, middle is neutral. message me if you want a diagram.
@razerdave ok but i will use it ( i allready have it) and i think mindstorm motor can flip 100 grams but at the moment i am the first in denmark who builds a antweight (but i beginning tomorow) i got the pieces so now there is also an antweight roboteer from denmark yaaa :D i going to upload vids off my robot in the making soon
@x19710 The arena only cost me about £15 for nuts and bolts, switches for the control box and that liniear actuator on the pit, the rest was begged borrowed given or stolen
PS: I don't condone stealing, just an expression :)
How did you do the electricals and stuff?

At the point of building I was trying to do it on the cheap. I have a new arena now and it will be more powerful on that one.

Yay, a new country to convert to antweights :) Come and join the UK antweight builders on the Robot Wars 101 forum.
I look forward to seeing your robot, and thanks for the kind comment :)

Sure wish we had something like that up by us.
Sadly, the Northeast Robot Club's motto is "No House Bots, No Hazards, no Bull$#!T"

It has hazards because I made it to look like the real arena.
Northeast ? Where are you Headbanger142 ?

New Jersey. Most of the robot events near me are in Pennslvania though.
