Bloody hell!!.. What was the disc of that robot at the begining of the clip made of?? That was just a bit too scary the way it came apart!!
The arena looks good though.

Tempting idea John...A very tempting idea indeed! :wink:
The disc was made from Aluminium (driven by a Magmotor), they now know not to make a disc from aluminium.
The robot it broke on has titanium armour; we actually didnt have any damage from that impact, only a small scratch.

Its not that clear on the video btw, but the disc flew straight into the polycarb (12mm). Fortunately it left little more than a scratch and a small dent.
And any Brits that wanna show us how its done are more than welcome at a next event!
Aluminium is perfectly fine in most cases as a disc material, but only if its the right grade... that one evidently wasnt
Very nice arena guys! Do you think its up to the biggest spinners?
You think that one isnt heavy enough......
OK, thought about it....
Just let us know when the next event is being held and well be more than happy to come and show you how it should be done!!
