NOTE: V2 uploaded with sections of the chassis hollowed out to reduce weight (bot was approx 8 grams overweight!).
This is an Antweight (150gram) pusher combat robot which I've called Scrapper.
This bot was designed as the first of three bots to replace our groups aging loan bots.
It's also perfect for a first time combat robot build, designed with a lot of space inside to fit your parts with little trouble. Check out a build video here:

Using a spare female red connector from the speed controller, solder the LED and resistor to the red and black wires.
Plug the speed controller black plugs into the receiver (suggest channels 1 and 2).
Plug the soldered LED connector into the receiver (any channel is okay).
Install all parts into the printed body, secure the motors and motor clamps to the body with the M2 screws.
Plug the battery into the speed controller's male red connector.
Run a spare M3 screw into the printed body to pre-tap a thread for the cover.
Mount the cover and secure with two M3 screws.
Push the wheels onto the motor shafts and test!
Good luck!
