    That was our initial thought to... 2m x 2m, steel floor, 20mm sides and top in polycarbonate but we were going to have an inner arena to of 1.5m x 1.5m lifted up off the floor so you could put robots out of the arena

    Sounds brilliant Alex, I'll try and help out with a Bristol Uni continent if you're looking?

    Thank you very much for the offer We will definitely need help from the FRA community when the time comes.
    First up for us though is making contact with various other universities to see what interest level we have. The chances are it will be quite high given the number of engineers, designers and robotics students in the southwest.
    Then we will have to work out how much it will cost to build the arena and get the universities to split the cost evenly. It will have to be the full thing, a class 1 arena, there is no point in anything less.

    If this class had a proper arena at regular events I feel it could be very popular

    It sounds like a great idea, you may well get at the front of BW combat

    The arena Tom has been making is PLENTY good enough for any beetleweight.
    Class 1 arena's are for the most powerfull heavyweight spinner's. Even 5mm polycarb would be perfectly fine for the beetleweights. We've had little spinner and 360 hit our 10mm screens at full power with the discs and nothings ever got close to damaging them.

    Good luck with it all - feel free to get intouch if you need any help with things.
