Lol nice, poor antweight guys haha. Just thought i'd build a wee ant before we got to the business of the real things whenever you're about. Don't want to look like a complete beginner :P .

ggggrr at least all our arenas can hold some propa nasty spinners
It does seem strange that only 2 events a year in feathers can hold spinners. But I dunno, maybe if Gary started building ants he could kick the shit out of those arenas too, that is what he's most famous for right?
It's purely because it isn't economical to have spinner safe arenas for most event organisers. A featherweight safe spinner arena requires 10mm thick polycarbonate walls. Not cheap stuff! Antweights are easier to contain purely due to the weights involved.
I've never really been interested in antweights but I can understand why there are a fair number of people that like to build them.
I never really fancied them either, seem very restricting and all together a bit too small. But thought it'd be a start anyway. But Harry went on to slagging feathers instead of the parts list. Antweighters pft.... lol
(this should be in the antweight part of this thing)
ants are to small for my liking (and too fiddily)
so I will stick to feathers!!!!!!!!
If there is 2 events for spinners why do they just use the same area?
Because I will cost less but u may need someone to store is or have a spare
Theo
I think its different companies who run the events so different arena.
Yer bit robo challenge runs all the featherweight event, well apart from the robot live heavys and feathers but robo challenge could keep 2 spinner areas can't they
Theo
Ahh right, didn't know that. Not sure then?
just to set the record straight
Roaming Robots and Robots Live run separate events but both cater for Heavy weight ans feathers but No spinners of either weight
Robochallenge run Feather events only and can run spinners in them
the reason for there being so few fw spinner events and arenas is cost. You need thicker poly carb which costs more and then costs more to transport takes long to put up as well.
hope this clears it up
