Design Constraints

The primary design constraints for an and weight robot are that it must fit within a 100mm cube and weigh 150g or less.

Thingiverse is a good place to find example 3d printable bots. Searching for ant bot, 150 bot, 150g, 150g bot should turn up plenty of options.

Component weights

Description Weight
44mm wheels 29g/pair
34mm wheels 8g/pair
N20 motors 20g/pair
FS2A receiver 3g
FS-IA6 receiver 7g
BBB 2 channel ant weight motor controller 11g
Malenki Nano 3g
1S 380mAh LiPo Battery 10g

If you're 3d printing your robot components then Prusa Slicer will tell you the weight of your model printed in your chosen material, but for a rough idea the sample bots I've produced have come out around 75g when printed in PETG with 5 walls (to make them extra robust).
