Yeah like I have Asperger's so I'm not trying to provoke an argument to say no to spinners and fall out with people and all that type of thing. It's hard to come across as sincere by typing and I'm quite a meek and mild person in the flesh lol and not trying to rant at people. I understand how easy a win would be by clogging a robot up. I just mean that I feel there's ways of wrapping a robot in stuff to clog a disk as a form of defense that are passive and only end up stopping the weapon. I'm not trying to be cheap and stop another robot driving about and all that kind of thing, but I just like the idea of evolution. People build flippers, so others made invert-able robots. People sussed spinners will literally right an opponent off, so those of us with the means to build only pushy robots find a way to defend against it. So the spinner people say incorporate a wedge in the back end to resort to if the blade jams...so on and so forth.

In response to Sam talking about the money involved in clogging a blade up, my pushy robots incorporate about a hundred quids worth of motors, wheels, hubs, Sabertooth, receiver, failsafe and battery. I appreciate that a lipo/spinner set up undoubtedly can get expensive, but even a well specced pusher is not cheap and yet they are regularly badly damaged without any real means of stopping a blade within the weight limit. Any sort of decent material thickness takes you over the various weight limits, hence my questions about finding other ways to stop a spinner blade.
