Hiya stranger....

Its not about the costs for the muts nuts arena..... its about the whole bigger picture which stops it.

At the moment RR events are made profitable by cutting all the costs down to a minimum,

1 day, 2 shows, the right venue, good PR, etc..... Without the cost saving of last summer we wouldnt be still going.

A full class 2 arena could be constructed, the problem is mostly the roof, however it can be overcome.

However its the time to build it at a venue, ( we normally setup in 6 hours ish ) cost to transport it ( we are already in 2 x 7.5t trucks ), man power to move it, forktruck hire to build it...and then theres the H & S implications if something went wrong.

Robot Wars felt the force of the old level of HW spinners and it destroyed their arena more than once, with the technology in the current FW spinners and the forces involved it wouldnt take long before the HWs were getting silly stupid fast and powerful discs.
And to combat the powerful discs, people would build more hardox boxes.

Thats why a class 2 arena wouldnt work for Roaming Robots shows in my opinion, and why i plan to build spinners to suit the arena, and not the other way round. .
