I'm getting a NanoTwo off him next week - Try his E-Mail! That's how I got in contact.

Thanks for all the help guys, my parts are on the way now. That video was quite helpful, I thought it was only the axle that rotated!

Now all I have to do is design the actual blade...

Thanks again guys. I hadn't considered the actual impact dynamics - I was just thinking of energy values! Can you bolt the blade to those holes? Oh wow, I thought they were to attach the motor to the bodywork of the quadcopter! Does that mean that the whole motor rotates...? I can't see from the pic...

Thanks for the responses guys! The voltage to power equation was super helpful. I also hadn't considered the robustness of the motors. I'm having trouble understanding how you can have a spinner that's too fast, though. Isn't the whole objective to store as much kinetic energy as possible? Is it an ...

Hi there guys, I'm in the process of building a spinner, and I'm currently at the point of selecting a motor to power the blade. I have been reading this thread , and I am somewhat confused by the recommendation people have given for the motor. Now I should add, I am completely new to electronics re...

Is there any word as to when the next event is? Some buddies and I have just built some bots and we're raring to whet our teeth!
