Featherweight Events

Hi everyone.

First up apologies if this should have been in the Live Events section, but since it was specific to feathers, I though I would stick it in here.

Many years back, I used to have a few antweights that I competed with, and after watching the recent series of BB and RW, I've been bitten by the bug again. This time I'm thinking of a featherweight and I have been having a good read of the build rules and of lots of the threads in here. I have started kicking around ideas for a featherweight drum spinner, however after reading some of the threads I noticed a few people comment that the spinners were only able to run at one or two events per year.

I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is still the case before I commit to my design. Roughly how many feather events are there every year and how many can the spinners run at? I have seen the calendar for the live events, but I can't see anything there about arenas or what weapons are allowed but I may well be missing something!

Cheers for you help.

Every live event (Heavyweight event) runs feathers but does not allow feather spinners. Only the robochallenge feather events allow spinners (Of which there are 1-2 a year).

Thanks for clarifying that Shakey. Maybe worth a re-think of the design then for my first one.
