Re: Antweight events?

How thick and what materials do you make your spinner blades out of?

Re: Antweight events?

Generally speaking, most antweight weapons are made from Titanium, between 0.8-2mm thick. Other people have used other things for blade, like Tool steel, or some have used a plastic hub with metal blades (steel, Ti, Hardox, etc) attached.

Its best to sign up to the antweight forum for more questions because there are a lot more antweight resources on there.

Hey Lewis

Just to make a point, the guildford event on the 30th is a robot workshop for kids. If you want to come to a proper event, Roaming Robots are doing a proper combat event at the same venue on June 24th.
