It looks like 12mm poly walls still isnt enough to cater for spinners!

Thats scary.
The ensuing collision broke an eight inch piece of Brutalities blade off and sent it into the 1/2 inch thick arena wall right in front of the frequency pin board
Wouldnt wanna be in line with that!
The bot hit the steel crossbar, which bent down, compressing the lexan vertically, which shattered it.
wouldnt it be good to have steel mesh infront of the polycarb so you can still see through and also stop big bits
All that needs revising is how the polycarb is mounted. Just need to prevent mounting stresses and then the polycarb should do its horizontal impact absorption job fine.
But is 12mm good enough for featherweight arenas without spinners?

It looked as if the cutter was held on by only a few bolts. If it was, then I am not surprised it came loose with those nocks.
Awesome fight though.
