Who built that antweight? There's some serious gyro on that thing

That's P150. Its an american fairyweight, so fits in with our weight limits, but they don't have to fit into a 4" cube over there, so it'll be bigger than ours. Doubt it'd do much in our arenas too, with gyro like that it'd fall off the edge fairly easily.

Indeed, american arenas are generally larger (obviously an american antweight arena will be very large to a UK antweight, but I mean even if you put it to scale, there arenas are a lot larger than ours), and have little, and in some case no, drop offs or pits. Horizontal spinners are a lot more successful over there as they don't go flying off whenever they hit something, due to the larger arenas and no pits/drop-offs. Infact, it makes all spinners a lot more viable, since they have the oppurtunity to actually immobolise an opponent bot and win, rather than just hitting it and seeing who is unlucky enough to fly out first.

As Hib said, there is a huge contrast between US and UK verison of arenas and how builders make their antweights based on.

UK = Wedges /flippers more successful
US = Spinners more successful
