BASIC ANTWEIGHT STARTER PACKAGE
So you want to build an antweight robot but don't know where to begin. This is a great, inexpensive way to get almost everything you need for your first 1 pound robot! This package is intended to get you jump-started, saving you the time (and money) involved in hunting around for all the right parts before even starting to build. Please note, this is NOT a "kit", it does not all come in one box with instructions, it is a package deal for most of the parts you will need to start on your first Antweight.

These parts are selected to work well for a two-wheel-drive, 1 pound robot. With this complete package, you will have all the main components ready to go*. Simply hook everything together on your own platform or chassis, and you'll be driving your bot around soon! You should have enough weight left over to add some good armor, frame and a weapon.

For a basic antweight, all you'll need to provide on your own, beyond this package, are the following items (all of which you could pick up at your local hardware store and electronics store):

- A baseplate and/or frame
- Fasteners (nuts, bolts and wire connectors) Don't be afraid to use hot glue or even duct tape on your antweight!
- Some thin wire to connect the motors to the speed controller
- A weapon (optional)
