1lb spinner robots are extremely dangerous and are definately capable of unitentional digit amputation. I would advise you finish your first robot and get some experience before moving onto spinners. They are also much more difficult to build.

Agreed. Spinners are complicated.

Start off with something simple, even if it doesn't have a weapon it can still be quite effective :D

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BUILD A SPINNER!

They can be *very* dangerous. With half a pound of steel spinning at several thousand rpm any slight error can easily lead to serious injury.

Follow the advice above, build a simple robot first, get to a few events, gain some experience, meet some people with experience of spinners and THEN decide if you have the abilities and equipment to build a spinner SAFELY.

If I correctly deciphered that question as, "Where do events happen in the US?" Seriously please type clearly we can't help you if we need to excercise our code cracking skills on a 1 sentance post.

We don't know, as people have said this is the wrong forum for US antweights. This forum is primarily concerning English antweights and weight classes.

then especail dont build a spinner, they may not be your buddys for long if your break their robots :P
also then you will have no "battle box" which is the clear box where robots fight to stop bits of metal flying into your face.
go for like a lifter, most effective here in england, pretty good in the us.

good luck mate
