Total Cost & Weight Robot (frame, sheild)??0.67lbs. Control Board$39.95?? ESC (2)$ lbs Motors (2)$ lbs Carbon fiber$ lbs wheels$ lbs Receiver (& transmitter)$ lbs ~$350.07~1.47lbs We have a lot of head room considering the current weight & cost but don’t forget, the weight & cost excludes batteries, hardware, motor mounts, any internal structure, etc.
Just like Vatamin D (AnkleBiter), the robot, at this point, is capable of becoming whatever we want it to be because of its simplistic design.
