    I disagree that a spinner for your first build should be out of the question.. I'm a carpenter and my team mate is a mechanic, we had never built anything like this before and jumped straight into a heavy weight spinner that worked a treat in battle.. aslong as it's done safely when testing etc there shouldn't be a problem.. sometimes it just comes down to the person and if they're competent or not. As for the price £500 seems alot for just part of a frame?.. my heavyweight cost about 1500 or so all in. All this said I'm no expert so take the advise from whoever you feel confident with..

    The strange thing about this sport is that the lower weight classes are arguably much more dangerous than the large ones due to how much power they still have at there size. Yes, people have built spinners with no past experience in combat robotics you are a great example of that (gratz on coming third) however I would never recommend it to anyone for their first bot. making something move well and make it through a match is great. Something about walking before running
