Stacking components?
Right now I'm in the process of putting together a beater spinner. I've tested everything, wired it all up, all of the electrics work absolutely fine. Now all that's left is to build the body for it. The problem I'm having with designing the body is that I don't have a lot of weight to work with, an...

Re: full body spinner saftey
Same way you would with any other spinner. Make sure you set the failsafe on the weapon ESC to cut power to the weapon if the transmitter is turned off. Then it's simply a case of switching the transmitter off if anything goes wrong.

Best/cheapest way of producing this part?
So I'm in the process of building an antweight beater spinner. I've got the components, I've designed and printed the chassis and it all looks like it should work (although I'm yet to wire it all up and test!) however the one area I'm stuck on is the bar itself. I've got a design that should do fine...

Have designed and 3d printed the chassis for a beater style spinner now just need to actually build a bot into it. Before I set about buying anything I just wa...

Re: AWS56 - 13th October, Bristol
Luckily I actually have a rare Saturday off work so have flung my name in the ring for this. First time actually fighting anything properly, cheekily entering with a Shakey built flipper so I know I have something that will actually work, and a beater of my own creation that is as likely to tear its...

Best NanoTwo alternative?
Completely new to all of this, just starting to put together a parts list for my first batch of antweights but am a little bit stuck on the area of ESC selection. I know that the generally accepted easiest/best option is going with a NanoTwo but I also know that they're damn near impossible to get y...
