Sponge

[bex]

Would sponge on top of a featherweight come under Entanglement devices?

Are we talking your common or garden bath sponge here.. or something like high density neoprene foam?
(Or even some of Jennys sponge cake...That stuff could pass as reasonable armour!!)

Normal bath sponge or car sponge nothing fancy.

Dont think that would fall foul of rule 12.2.1
But I cant see what advantage you would gain from having something that soft on your machine.

It wont be playing part of any advantage. just say it would be part of the decouration

tried it aat eds show in... milton keynes?? I forget, you may remember it though, against little hitter. burnt my controller out??? (i blame the foam not my incompitent helper)

oh yeah, youll remember the event more for the people i brought, I was in a really bad mood with wayne and you all met rachel...

Could try mounting metal/plastic plates atop a foam/sponge layer for ultimate super-spinner impact absorbtion, but chances are itd just get torn to pieces...

I just buy more sponge thank god for staff discount

[cavecrusher]

i think that when it comes off and gets stuck in the opponent it could be considered an entanglement weapon

If your machine cant deal with a bath sponge, then I think you need to seriously consider if your machine has any business being in the arena in the first place!!!
