3DAD Antweight (1lb) Combat Robot

I completely redesigned the body to make it much more durable and capable. The bot still uses a brushless 2204 motor. I think a 2205 will also work. I still have some work to do on the weapon holder to help it spin better, but it works. The drive system is like my other fairyweight bots using small motors instead of the servos in my original Amazon Home Depot bot. All of the parts can still come from Amazon or Home Depot. ;)

Assembly
Hammer the 12:gauge strap tie into the blade holder and motor mount.

Screw the motor onto the body.

Press fit the motor mount onto the motor.

Cut the 20 gauge strap to size and epoxy it to the top of the slanted edge as shown.

I also included an on-off switch that was hot glued on the bottom of the bot to be easily accessible. I just took one of the switches from the ESCs.
