There's no official competitions yet, as there is no arena, but theres a few beetles, I have a drum bot (but I need to re build the chassis as its to heavy) and I have the body of a flipper, but no pneumatics yet, and I know there's quiet a few out there like 180, and stuff, I think if arena is built, this would be a very popular weight class, as there quiet easy and cheap to make

1) As far as I know a full combat arena is being made. And I think there are a few bw's knocking about. Someone made a small rep of 360. Which in turn is a rep of hypno disc. And IIRC K_c_r is making a rep of Pussycat.
2) Presuming that this arena is built, then spinners should be fair game on this one. I think an active weapon rule was discussed some time ago.

Problem is the active weapons, so you really need an arena to run them, can't really just take them along to events and have a go between shows or anything as the vast majority of them at the moment seem to be spinners.
