A spinner like Ewans, Vortex, Kitty, Black n Blue, Strip, Arrgh, Tantrum - i dont want to imagen dave.
Robots like Aaargh can already penertrate 6mm ali just hitting it. Imagen him being flipped into the screens of 5mm poly - i wouldnt like to be near it.
Mr Stu
thats why we wouldnt run most of them because they are vertical spinners. tanrum was run on 16th power and there were no flippers entered that event. if there had been would would think twice about running it
James, Horizontal Spinner + Flipper/Gyroscopic Forces = Vertical Spinner
You also cant run a spinner like Tantrum throttled down unless its mechanically throttled down so it physically cant go any faster.... and if you read what you wrote, youll see that YOU said you ran Tantrum at full power !
You cant delimit between the two sadly as one soon becomes the other as youll see if youve read the FRA Safety guidelines.
For example, the Robot Crusade are screening all the way up to the top of the roof because a horizontal soon becomes a vertical, and thats even with a 6m high wall ! Theyre still considering what to do this year even with that !

erm we ran tantrum into the wall at full power (like i said) before the event. during the event we ran tantrum at 16th power. we have never ran any spinner in our arena with a flipper, if a flipper was to enter we wouldnt alow tantrum in and James Baker knows that. Did you know Rc Wars is a 50/50 with me and James Baker?
James, I think this is a conversation that should be best taken off the forum before you say anything else that continues to dig yourself a hole. I do know that youre 50/50 with James, and if I were him Id be reading what you were writing about your joint venture and cringing if Im honest.
The FRA are coming along to your next event I believe - Id suggest you finish by apologising for your rant stating that RC Wars had never done anything to compromise safety as its become clear thats not the case, and communicate with the FRA !

is this a forum or chat room? :)
the best thing is to wait and see what the safety of the event is like.
Ewan, if it was me doing the tech checks i wouldnt allow your robot.
yes , lets wait and see what your representertive have to say. i look forward to hearing there thoughts and oppinions and will welcome all constructive critsism
Nor would alot of people Alan.
