and my first robot was a spinner

Was that T-Bone that appeared on Robot Wars Series 5 by any chance?

Also John, did u get my question regarding Storm Force?

what direction does it spin? clockwise or anti clockwise?

I have shortened Japanese Fighting Tortoise to 108cm wide now. Its not half as silly and impressive now, but a bit easier to get in the arena.

Cant wait for the spinners, hope I get to fight one.

it spins which ever way i tell it to... what direction does 360 spin and ill make sure its the opposite

lol .... Well thinking about it, they need to spin the same direction for a big bang dont they ??

no, my first robot was called Banana-R-Armour I know shockingly crap name.... it was for series 4.... failed the Auditions of Robot Wars, and Big Brother in the same summer !! So spent 6 weeks in the Canaries dossing instead.

Say Jonno, Banana-R-Armour and T-Bone I can remember were Pay-To-Drive robots, I didnt know u tried to enter BRA into Robot Wars! Did u try entering ur other robots like Wedge, Axe and Crusher (Think I have them all) into RW?

Also, I think I vaguely remember a robot called Stealth, did that try to qualify for RW and how well did that do in competitions?

Stealth was a series 3 machine that did...not so well...it had the double misfortune of both meeting Hypnodisc in round 2 and being held together with what seemed to be a concoction of sticky back plastic and hope.

I dont think Jonnos is the same one though? (Wasnt enough left of the original Stealth to rebuild it it seemed...

)
