So? Being a pro welder* doesn't mean you know about the forces involved in a decent spinner.

A good weld is stronger than the base material.
But it still is a connection, and you need to balance the whole too. Welds and balancing are not easy.
Not something done by a gardenshed builder with a drill , anglegrinder and a MIG.

Talking to a guy on the RW8 filming doesn't make you an expert either, nor does the fact somebody is working for a TV company makes that person an expert on anything related to robots.

I was there during series 5-6 and 7.
Most Tech-checkers and technical advisors were competent people. But anybody on the filming or catering crew, not so.

*wanna go into a bragging fight about pro-welding?
