My Antweight Robot

[mashersmasher]

that's big for an anteweight bot

revers the servos

[TooSlowGamer]

Since the axe isn't very powerful, you should try to change it from an axe to a flipper thing.

[randar3]

is your transmitter a Futaba T6EX? if so, go into its setup options, and reverse channels 1 and 2. Then use the V-tail mixing option. Your controls should then be:

Push stick forward, robot goes forward, Push stick left, robot turns left

Push stick right, robot turns right etc...

also, those servos are crying our for a speed hack!

[tomtomscott]

ah right, thanks for that.

This is th old model, the new antweight (another one of my videos) has speed hacked servos :)

[tomtomscott]

The axe is made from a bit of a sheet of copper (around 1mm thick), its then folded over to make it stronger.

I think inverting the controls will help with the robot. I noticed you use an axe, what is it made of?

[ScarletandCreme32]

Nice work!

[tomtomscott]

thanks

[GameKing08]

dude super slow too slow.

[clarenceandbilly]

yeh you most likely have the servos in the wrong channel, try to not make them on the same control stick. Otherwise, the receiver thinks that when you press the control stick right, its supposed to move one of the servos forward. If you use two control sticks, then you can have forward as forward for both servos.

[TeuchterPigeon]

you probally have the servos in the wrong channel in the rx try either 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 make sure the right servo is in either 1 or 2.

[tomtomscott]

Ok thanks for that, I will try it

[Jerry11606]

Those are strange controls How did you get used to it?

[tomtomscott]

I know they are quite odd, I guess just practise and after a while your used to it

[tomtomscott]

nope a servo axe would causes no damage to anything, it would be better as like a grabber type thing

[weird0bot]

he said servos aren't good enough to compete with, but one actually i think they could drive an axe pretty well.

[tomtomscott]

couldnt you send it back to the manufacturer to get it fixed?

[aha1111]

cool! didn't i see that at school?

[Marco2242K]

whys ur antweight so big...? Build a 150gram one and copete

[Headbanger14]

The controller I had for my Ant was a bit wonky too. If you moved the stick right, it goes left. Move it left, it goes right. It still worked good though...until I broke the controller. :(

[tomtomscott]

ahhhhh gutted how did you break it, what controller did you have?

[Headbanger14]

It's one of those GWS controllers from banebots. The springs inside it are shot and now the joysticks won't go back into place.
