I am currently building my first bot and was wondering about making a variant of a thwack bot. If I attach a rope and a weight to each side of my robot, when the robot spins the weights will spin in a large orbit due to centripetal force and would also spin faster than a normal thwack. Also during collisions the robot I hit would be affected like a normal hit from a horizontal spinner yet my bot would be unaffected due to the rope being slack. Although I worry about being entangled by a spinner.
I hope my ideas make sense.
Please could you help diagnose any problems before I get pummeled in an arena.
Kind regards,
Matt.
