I thought I'd follow the trend and make a build diary.
First up omen, it's going to be rebuilt using the same disc and drive but using a brushless to power the disc. Design is changing dramatically aswell. Pictures of rough layout are to follow.
Next robot is overide, gonna be a fun robot for non spinner events. Currently gathering parts, more info to follow.

Going for a cross between the Aussie robot demon and the dutch robot pulverizer
Haha, it looks very Demon-esque. I'm sure Glen would be proud :P
I'd say it's got the starting that hornet 2 had :)
very similar to the robot I've just designed!
You should buy Gary's bulkheads
Unfortunately I don't have £200 I can spare
Thanks for the comments guys, I'll put some pictures on the Aussie forum once it's more completed. And no copyright infringement intended Craig, I haven't seen your designs.
I've decided to go with at pulleys and belts, any other spinners use them? Kenny is gonna do some machining of the disc and pulley, more pictures when thats done.
The Germans have fairly good results with self-weldable green O-belts for disk drives.
I'm planning to use that too.
I'm going to use 15mm wide timing belts on my new one... Timming pully on the motor but a smooth pulley with no teeth on the drum...seems to be what a lot of the Americans are doing now.
Cool, looks very hornet like.
I wouldnt want to be fighting NST or LS4 with a vert disc like that.
