spinner bar ratio

you just have to do the maths and figure out how to keep t below 500rpm to run it as non spinner events, then ramp it up for the full combat ones

i thought even if the spinner runs at less than 500rpm you can still only run it at spinner events unless it is a thackbot (spinning motions comes from the wheels)

According to the rules, to put it short, to be classed as a spinner, it must be over 500 rpm

Full body spinning robots with an eccentric mass or â‚¬Å¾twackbotsâ‚¬Å¸, are excepted from this section unless they
spin over 500 revolution per minute.

It is only twackbots or those that rotate using their wheels are exempt from the rules on spinners. In short, if the whole robot doesn't rotate and it's only a section, then it is not exempt from the rules on spinners and must only be operated in a suitable arena.

Wait, so can you run a spinner under 500 rpm at RR and RL shows?

**Max** · 30th July 2011, 20:27

Only if it's a thackbot (it spins using the power from the wheels, NOT USING A SEPARATE MOTOR! )

you can only run either a standard twackbot like the saint that spins around to damage other machines or a machine like the melty brain spinner I am building as long as they spin under 500rpm
