name surgestion: Gear down for that!
I use a 120rpm Pololu HP 250:1 N20 for my grab and lift, Karabos, undervolted to 5V to stop it from destroying itself in 5-6 grabs. Has a slight downside in that can’t really hold a grab in midair, you have to complete the suplex motion.
No idea what the exact module is as that was designed many years ago in software I can no longer use.

Loving seeing someone else try out the crazy tail on an antweight in Wallop Scallop. The smaller rounded tail seems like a really smart idea!

Thanks! The grabber doesn’t hold on well enough to deathroll opponents sadly, but it certainly has the power to jump around!
It’s based off an awesome beetle Cattywampus, so stole the tail design from that:
Have you made a bot like thtat?
Yep - I made an antweight to try out that design in a BBB last year:
It didn’t have the grabber design but I found the tail to be good for escaping grabs and pins. The tail was based more on this version of cattywampus:
But I think the shorter, more rounded version would lift up and spin over easier than just a long rectangle.
