yeah, Oliver has a very good point-iirc, product safety is a section of the GCSE paperwork, and having a spinning disc does compromise this somewhat. The disc never made the final project with my A-level, due to technical issues (everything went wrong, lol)

for my A-level, i did a test of disc profiles. I had one with loads of teeth, but it tended to just jam in things. The most successful one was one where i attached the teeth separately, and they were made out of a heavier metal than the rest of the disc. avoid spinning bars-they're complete rubbish ...

Nemesis-also try looking at slitting saw blades. they were recommended by my DT teacher, and after seeing a few, they are quite impressive. Your blades sound quite cool though.

i'll happily fight a spinner with any of mine (kamikazee). as long as i have one left, i don't really care, lol

still hope to be there

Esky servos are good-only about a fiver each and only weigh 8g. Make sure you get more than you need though-they do burn out fairly easily (apparently at random-maybe i just got a couple of dodgy ones :S). For a Reciever, look in the Q&A thread-there was a topic fairly recently about the replace...

i would...lol, i like suicide fights-actually means i have to rebuild, rather than just doing it for the sake of it.

acetate does the same job, doesn't crease as easily and is probably cheaper, lol

i'll be at uni then, so i'll be far nearer London than i am now (about half way there compared to now) so i might be able to make it. Are we saying non-spinner, or are we going no-holds barred? If school let me, i'm gonna make an arena next week-beats being stuck at home, lol

slowest police chase ever recorded had a top speed of 4mph and an average of 3...

i blew up my lego technic motor by putting 18V through it (two 9V batteris in series). I use my technic in my ants now. I too always wanted Mindstorms, but never got it
