no other way round if they go the same way they impact. Opposite they brush. . Yes it was a half a barrel. Like the morgue. nasty spinning disc on t he front.

Looks like I best put that thick hardox on the front of Trojan.

And Dave Lawrie.......I would expect a 1.7m wide robot from you.
You did try to put bike wheels driven by drill motors on a feather weight. I barely talked you out of that one....barely.

Looks good, Vertial right? what size? Need to make sure our teeth will hit it

With this many spinners, maybe, just maybe one might win!

270mm dia tooth to tooth, round 4kg and solid cobalt tool steel should munch through hardox without feeling it cause its the same material i used to rip through hardox on the mill

Id go for Pillow Torque, Satanix (partially because Dave will eviscerate me if I dont say it but it is also shaping up really well ), Drumroll (evil looking thing) or whoever the crusher is because I likes crushers.

Of course since Japanese Fighting Tortoise will win anyway its all irrelevant

Ha! Cheers Joey, but if JFT wins, itll be an all-out miracle.
Id love to see a spinner take the crown, if only because theyve all been build truly in the spirit of the competition (when was the last time a flipper tore someone apart?). Though if I was listening to my head, Id choose one of the solid pushbots, even though thats a slightly dull answer.

Is it ok if we swap Whirlpool for Blitz in the main competition? I am coming along with Alex and his family. I may also bring Whirlpool or Tidal Wave to run in the whiteboards if thats ok.
