ive had a basic rammer, and something with claws (shame they were crap) but once ive got smidsy up and running im really wanting to build something with a good active weapon yet i really cant decide what too do
i was thinking of going down the crusher route again as ive really got a thing for them, but trying to make a crusher thats invertable AND will also crush either way up is a bit hard
im open to and suggestions as im really quite stuck for a design
i'm building a crusher to but if you want it to be invertible i'd say go for a horizontal crusher because to get a verticle crusher to work invertible would be nearly impossible
made a horizontal already with masses of design flaws
not sure if to try and re-build that to scrap it and make something different
Any other ideas as after whitwick I'll be building for the champs
If it's for the champs then build a spinner
Finding a disk that's a good weight is hard, but I would like to build a spinner, just cash would be the problem there
Then forget a disc and buy a stainless steel bar (first thing i came to searching ebay)

Drill it in the center and go to town. Job done.
Gary, you are a genius!
Spinner it is I guess
Got a spare pair of esc's, need a couple of motors and bar set up but it shouldn't be too hard to do in time
If you want a cheap motor, go for a car fan motor (Mondeos seem a good source). You can pick them up from car breaker's yards for £5 - £10 and they usually do around the 1hp mark. DragonStrike is the best example of putting one to use on a spinner.
And if you go for a bar, make sure to get the drill hole dead centre, otherwise you'll wobble yourself to jiggery!
Can I be a real pain and get someone to post a parts list and rough cost to make one?
