And of course, with so many different weight classes you've got to stack them up! Here we have;
Yippee Ki-Yote (featherweight)
Sprocket Raccoon (beetleweight)
Plucky (antweight)
Volpa XXS (fleaweight)
plus a 3d printed Arcticfurno mini

Not only did we successfully host the first ever antweight robot fighting tournament in Scotland today, I also came second with Plucky (my first podium finish!) and won a couple of side events too 🎉

Five years ago I made myself an antweight test box... This year I have been building my own actual antweight arena, with the intention of staging events in our neck of the woods at some stage 🤞
No dates announced yet though, but when we have something we'll be sure to let you know :)

All packed up and ready to go for Antweight World Series 73 in two days... will be first in two years for me! I'm bringing along Plucky, Su-Plexxus and Setting Sun with me for this one. Hopefully we will rock and roll?

My first antweight in nearly two years! This is Su-Plexxus, which has been in development hell for over a year but I've been making good use of my new 3d printer. This is also my first attempt at building a "grab and lift" style weapon.

Three generations of my Antweight class horizontal spinner “Setting Sun”, from 2023, 2025 and 2026 👌
The latest one is my first ever robot to be a “shuffler”, which walks rather than rolls, and gets a 50% weight bonus, so I can fit thicker armour… and some nastier weaponry!

Just put out a new audio documentary! I am joined by Anthony of Team Penny as we delve into the history and the joys of the UK's smallest mainstream weight class in combat robotics - the antweight! We talk through the early days of the class all the way up to the present and why it's so appealing ^^

My first proper robot post, enjoyable imagery from earlier this week of my new 150g Antweight, bip!.
Been a few years since I've done an ant, so felt natural to scale down my current Beetle, bop!, to give it a cute lil sibling 😄

More progress on Antix. The one on the left works outside of needing the rear wheels, some drive belts, and a weapon. The electronics are set up so they can be pulled from one and dropped into the other with minimal effort. #RobotCombat #Antweight #3DPrinting

Decided to drop the horizontal spinner module on Outlier, and by that I mean make it an undercutter module. #RobotCombat #Antweight

Antweight combat robotics! Like Robot Wars or Battlebots but on a much smaller scale. And, in the case of this particular event, in a pub, naturally.
@bristolbotbuilders.bsky.social run lots of these! youtu.be/s9bUxmfdaTU?... to give you a flavour from earlier in the year
