Antweight legal: The Viper Lifter full bundle kit weight comes in at 427 grams (15.1oz). Note: This bot can only be run with a 2S battery unless you use a voltage regulator. Do not use a 3S or greater battery without a regulator, as it will damage the servo. SAFETY WARNING: Although this robot is non-destructive, it has pinch points. Weaponized robots are not toys. Spinning weapons generate extreme kinetic energy—comparable to a power tool. Always use caution, engage a weapon lock, and test kinetic energy only within a secure arena or test box.
