There is a new toy on the market: cars with the frontbumper and frontwheels turning vertically like a propeller on an airplane. (There is an extra set of hind wheels at the back of that car too.)
If one builds a robot like that, does this system count as a spinning weapon or a hammer ?
I dunno, but I hope they provide you with a polycarbonate box to run it in and a removable link
.... sounds very dangerous otherwise !
lol
I say ban it :)

HA I can miss the last one off now.. bonus :)
No serious. It IS a serious question from a Dutch roboteer. Can nobody answer that simple question without making fun of the concept ??? Or is this forum not so good as everybody says ?
A piccy of the car might help. However, i think Ive seen it, and played with one (my cousins). I would say its a spinner, but it would be very difficult to engineer in anything bigger than a feather, as i see it doin more damage to itself than the opponent!
Id say its a low-energy spinner with an alternative ram-bot mode of operation, judging by the description. A nice idea!
A pic would certainly help Babeth..
I didnt realise it was a serious request! :)

The way it works on the toy its more a evasive manouver than an attack. but id call it a hammer.

Ahh, there were people selling them at the Malvern Roaming Robots event. Its a hammer, low speed RPM (relative to kinetic energy weapons).
