Theres actually more events now allowing spinners to run than there ever has been in the past.

This year alone we have or have had:

Enginuity Robot Crusade
Debenham
RAF Cosford Robot Crusade
FRA World Championship

And thats without the ones we dont yet know about.

Its becoming a far more regular occurrence than it used to be.. and there are plenty of roboteers who actually enjoy the challenge of taking spinners on.

Dont be put of from building Daniel, theyre a great entertaining and fight winning option.. do be aware though that there are problems from the safety point of view, dont ever underestimate one!
As to building a truly effective spinner.. well I can count those so far on 1 hand!
