Featherweights - Active weapon rule

[webby]

haven read the whole topic but let us use spinners if ur banning non-weapons! why are feather spinners banned?

[harry hills]

they are not banned compleatly, just in arena that can't handle them its a safety thing

Matilda had a disc fitted for Guildford, it had rubber blocks as teeth, very lowpowered, a mag motor running on 12v, and didnt do much.

Ive since decided its having the blades put back on but keeping it at low speed, thought process is it will make robots fly rather than damage them !

I actually think there is a place for spinners, and have done for a while, they just need to be reduced. Its something I am looking at !

Any time scale on the potential spinner rule?

As i said before, if somehow current spinners were allowed, then robots would get alot more damage and would mean even more boxes!

We'll have ago at changing the format at Kidderminster and see how that goes.

i think we could un-ban drum spinners since they give robots a good chuck yet dont do the same damage as the horizontal or vertical disk/bar spinner

Been a while since I've been on here and I'm too lazy to read all the way through this topic. Skimmed it somewhat.

Interesting fights come from interesting weapons. This site is called FIGHTING robots, the original tv series was called robot WARS, the american version was called BATTLEbots.

Bring back the carnage, bring back the fighting. Scrap non weapon bots. Every bot should have a weapon.

I quite agree with this.
