Robot (frame, sheild) 0.67lbs. $39.95 Control Board ?? $65.16 ESC (2) .02lbs $59.98 Motors (2) .28lbs $79.49 Carbon fiber .41lbs $5.50 wheels .07lbs $99.99 Receiver (& transmitter) .02lbs ~$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.
