Largest spinning disc on a lightweight!

Sorry if Im a bit cynical, but Ive seen this type of post on every forum, newsgroup and online game since modems had acoustic couplers. If Alex does continue this discussion, I will retract my earlier comments.

e-mail him and find out... be careful of those horrible viruses that might attach themselves though. I hate it when that accidentally happens.

I would say Black guard had the biggers spinner. it is 800mm long. After that Tantrums 3kg 500mm half bar half disc is right up there (is there bigger?) and when it was a full 5.5kg 500mm disc it must have held the record for a while at least.

I think it is possible to make bigger in a featherweight, but is there any need? it makes them more unweildly and there are better ways to get a bigger smack.

so for me, Black Guard is the biggest Ive seen, though Ewan did test a 1m one I never saw it in action.

Jim: Dont worry, me too (back to the Acorn/Amiga advocacy newsgroups, at least). Still, no harm in asking. Better the devil you know and all that. Besides, if hes trying to flame us, I dont think rising to it will help. Ive always maintained that a sustained policy of politely entering into discussion with people is the most frustrating response I can make.

As an aside: I have a (very out of date) page with a few inventions on my web site, and amongst the various forms of feedback I get, I had a chat with a kid from Australia. He made a number of facetious invention suggestions, some of which already existed (in some shape or form - e.g. square bubbles and left-handed screwdrivers), and some of which could be interpreted as damn good (in the not sticking it on my web site in case I can patent this sense) ideas. You never know what you can gain from anyone, and the thing about getting gold from the mouth of an idiot is that hell rarely notice hes giving away a filling. (Note to self: dont over-stretch metaphors so much...)

I had a 1m one (featherweight)... but the spin-up was pathetic (about 12secs). And driving around tryig to spin up without touching any bot or arena wall wouldve been a pain in most event arenas...

- Does anyone else think robots are gay? -

Hmm... could be another reason for ramming other robots into the arena wall, apart from to damage them. :-P


- Maybe you should all move out of your mums basements and look for girlfriends. Oh, by the way, shave the beards off first eh? -

I have a basement?! *looks for it*
Look for girlfriends... *turns around* Finished
I had a beard?!
Tut tut... he didnt do his research on me did he?

Ouch. Sounds like Gary may have the current weight record (until the Why Not feather clones appear - only just discovered that I shouldnt have been calling it Y Not... oops; never mind, I still think navbots are a daft idea...)

Out of interest, how heavys Ziggos shell?

We have a 4kg Son Of Whyachi style spinner that can go on Annihilation which is 75cm in diameter with three hammers. It also has a pretty good spin up time if you have a look here: http://www.abbl.org/~teamvertex/site/videos/newrotor.wmvhttp://www.abbl.org/~teamvertex/site...s/newrotor.wmv
