Disc or Bar?

[Guest]

Hello everyone. Were new to this forum. We are just asking what anyone thinks on the subjects of discs and bars. The plan for our robot (TouchWood)is to have a spinning bar on the front. However we were told that a disc was more destructive but doesnt spin as fast. Please could someone give us some advice on this. Thanks

Disc or Bar?

Just to let you know, at the moment there are no arenas in the UK capable of running heavyweight spinners. This wont stop you from building one, you just will have to run with a deactivated weapon at all events.

As far as I know there are no plans to build an arena capable of running spinners. There are two arenas capable of running featherweight spinners so if you are set on a spinner maybe go for a feather first.

But I would go with a disk as they suffer from less air resistance so spin up faster and have a better top speed.
