Grant And thats also why alot of people now make feathers, because they can get that thrill of full combat - knowing you can get smashed.

i dont think so lol

I agree with grant. If heavies were full combat we would have been there. Its more playing at most events, i prefer the thrill of competeing with a machine thats taken blood sweat and tears to build and to watch it do its think and dominate in the arena is a real buzz.

Half the fun of a disc from my perspective is seeing where the problems are with my design, what goes wrong and where to improve.

It is a constant process as discs are so unpredictable in the arena.

Hopefully some day soon we will see heavyweight spinners running again.

Hi Guys,


On the subject of heavy spinners and arenas, from my side i dont think its a problem with the actual arena, its more problems with finding a venue / event that is viable to run it.

If we were to upgrade, it would mean 3 trucks to transport it, or one big one.
It would mean a probable 2 day build which included a forklift and a gang of labour to do it.
Plus a 1 day get out leaving a venue hire of 5 days and the costs which went with it.

And then we come to the actual robots.. would it encourage more to enter? would we end up with no robots as they all get destroyed? do we make an investment of time and money for 2 or 3 spinners to come along, fight and then break.

i remember we had our FW class 2 event and all of the spinners broke early in the competition. Until they are allowed to run, they wont develop, it is a vicious circle.

I dont know what the answer is, its back to... what does the future have in store for us ?? .

Heavy weight spinners back mmmmmmm! Is it time for me to dust off the Saints (18Kg-1500RPM-12mm thick steel) halo?

[robotwars]

Clarification from all event organisers please

no i think i prefer your spikes.... i think the saint must be one of the most reliable robots out there at the moment.. coupled with a nasty disc, it would be deadly !!!

No matter what we throw at it, it keeps going, a credit to you craig !!

Look forward to seeing you again !!
