Adrian / Mario, Thats fine, it just wsnt too clear from the photo.. and you know how paranoid I get about the safety of any spinner.
Looking forward to seeing it in action!
no probs geoff, no sound sorry, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM_Me-SaenQ
Ive talked about the suction that can be created by a bar spinner with a few people at events.. would technicaly be similar in principal to the suckers john reid tryed out in killerhurts as far as the rules are concerned?
Someone correct me if im wrong.
the other problem is.. if you have a bar areodynamic enough to give a decent amount of downforce when driving around to a robot like Little spinner.. when the robots inverted.. so is the areofoil of the blade.. therefore youd have nothing more then a pretty dangerous helicopter...Again correct me if im wrong, but flying combat robots arnt allowed.
the rules say that exposed aerofoils are not allowed. Perhaps if you had a bar spinner with a dome cover over the top so that only the teeth were showing? But you had some large holes in the top of the dome that allowed a flow of air through.
I guess it would depend on the event organiser as to whether or not they would allow it to run as the aero foils would not be its primary mode of movement, merely an aside (spinning upside down to self right)?
This of course depends on being able to fit in an aerofoil bar strong enough to take a hit but shaped to be able to provide suction (or lift)
Thats fine Jamie.

The website is back up and running due to some server problems, but the signup page is still playing up. We will try and get the problem sorted out as soon as possible.
More info on the event will be out soon.
Also, If your interested in having a heavyweight on display, or you beleive your robot would be great in a demonstration on the friday then drop either james or I an e-mail and we will get back to you.
