Help im sooooooooooo confused

You basically need 1 channel for each servo, so basically, a ant with 2 wheel drive (2 servos) and a weapon (1 servo) would need a 3 channel R/C set.

Have a look at the ant shop and forum at http://www.robotwars101.orgwww.robotwars101.org

Yes I think that 2 servos would all be on 1 stick but I dont think it is legal to use a 72mhz frequency in the UK for a ground vehcle. I think it has to be 40mhz or 27mhz.

Both of those links seem to go to the same place, but the product looks fine and I think it is the one I use. Although if you need to buy in the UK it is an American site.

i found it on a english site

would the servos that come with it be good enough or would they need replacing?

[bobblebot2]

Help im sooooooooooo confused

The servos would be fine, but I belive they weigh 43g which is way to heavy for an Antweight.
Generally you do not want servos heavier than about 25g.

Help im sooooooooooo confused

ok thanks
ive got a good idea of what to do now

if the weapon is a spinner, it just needs annother servo to spin it, but wot about an ax or flipper?

[bobblebot2]

Help im sooooooooooo confused

If it is a spinner then you will need a motor to spin it as a servo will not be powerful or fast enough (although for your first ant, I do not recommend building a spinner).

If you want an axe or flipper then an unmodified servo attached to the arm of the axe/flipper will do just fine. You could try pneumatics, but for your first ant again, I dont recommend it.

Dont forget that normal servos do not spin through 360 degrees so you will need to modify them to use for the drive of your ant.
