ANT WEIGHT 150g Destructive and non destructive fighting robot

Antweight robots weigh up to 150g and may be the smallest fighting robots, but don't let their size fool you! These little machines can be just as exciting to watch as their bigger counterparts.

Antweights are a fantastic way to get started in robot combat. They're affordable, fun to build and a great introduction to the skills needed for larger robots.

Battles take place in small, fully enclosed polycarbonate arenas designed for safety.
