A very wise move. Anyone can spin a bit metal up to a crazy speed. Doing it repetitively, under control and being able to withstand newtons laws yourself is another matter

Yep. A flipper will be me first. Although there are hazards involved there, Im quite sure of my knowledge of safety procedure, unlike with spinners. Still, you can never know too much.

You going to RoboGames, Gary?

Sadly I will have just arrived on the east coast of the states on the 11th of June and will be working on a summer camp for 10 weeks. I cant see my employers being too chuffed about me wanting to travel to California for a few days off before I have even begun

That hit I got on Cyberon that flipped it over is the best hit the drum could muster all weekend

After that it either kept on burning out motors or my opponents were too wedgy in shape to gain purchase on anything. If I can get every hit to be like that first hit, then Ill be on the road to improvement
