Thanks for all the advice!

Found some old lego boxes with some decent thick cardboard so i might use that for a start, see how i go.

also, how would you go about securing motors and other components on a cardboard base, without them being ripped out.

I'm famous for using duct tape on everything, so thats how I do it. I'm sure you'll get some more technical responses, but this does well for me.

For a cardboard base something like duct tape has got to be your solution, just try to leave room so you can change the crystal and batteries.

a great thing i often use is cut up tuperware boxes , it is great for heating ad bending and glues nicely , its also strong and bendy at the same time , iprefer it to plexiglass sheets

Double sided foam is amazing stuff, really hard to get off once it is on. Doublesided tape is ok, but doesn#t have any give to hold if them motor is hit.

I have also used tupperwear stuff in various robots, lol.
Double sided foam or sticky pads are very good.

ahhh, i might give the old tape/foam a try

does the spinner class countfor any time of rotary weapon. So even if u had a tiny little disc it would still be classed as a spinner? Just not sure if spinner class is only meant for the monsterous ones.

Nope, any sort of spinning weapon can only compete in full combat. However pathetic it may be.
