well my plan is a vert bar spinner so maybe.

I wanted to do a Vert spinner, but the problems with trying to over come the gyroscopic forces of a 8000rpm 2.5kg flywheel when trying to turn and hit the opponent.

Maybe if it had track it might help

mmm, I looked at the latest stats of RWUK 7, A spinner won the comp beating a rammer....

Look at Megabyte in the US, he wins so much, they put him in the superheavyweight class with no extra weight and he wins that as well!
Hypnodisc also lose most of it's battles due to drive problems and the spur gear drive setup. Talk to the boys yourself
C'mon Chris, get that vert spinner of yours happening, it looks like it has some potential!

yeah well he isnt doing too well these days. they increased the rpm of the shell and decreased the spin up time and torque and it gets some good hits. bounces across arena gets hit in wall and stops then gets owned.

Their superheavyweight is doing well though.

had an hour or so on sorry today and have decided to go with the 'lifter' 'flipper' weapon i looked at end of 2004 season ......the reason i wrote flipper is that it lifts real quick so i couldnt decide ......a couple of things to sus out but looking good so i guess it will goodbye to the old SORRY and in with the new ,happy to drop the one point for round 1as its a new wqeapon type ,it would be nice to have the 'drop worst result' clause hope to get time to test this time around but its looking dodgy again

sorry now has 14.4 volt motors ...it was time to change them after 26 battles ...i sat him on the saw at work and cut the front off and have now entered the 'realms of steel' 6mm in fact
i have also doubled the wheel diametre so itll be a lot quicker and now have 30mm wide traction
