Yeah he's right they don't usually kill things and completely stop them from working, I'm yet to upload the video of mine being ripped to shreds because I wanted a reason to build a new one and it still worked to my surprise

Don't get me wrong sinners are destructive but its nothing a bit of duck tape won't fix :P

i've decided on a complete rebuild for anarchist tomorrow because the shape of the baseplate wasnt sturdy enough so i'm going to go for a wider and shorter baseplate but it might not be finished tomorrow because I only have 1 and a half glue sticks left for my hot glue gun and the sticks are very short so dont last long. the latest it will be done by though will be wednsday when I can use the schools dt workshop

the baseplate I tried made it nearly impossible to self right and i've run out of glue sticks so I think i will use the same baseplate as before but I will put bars of thicker plastic along the bottom to stop bending and i'l just reduce the size and build a new flipper design, i've got until wednsday or untill my gluesticks arrive so any flippper design suggestions ?

Need to order a new battery pack for anarchist because one of the contacts on it's old battery pack is fubar and I don't know how so I think to save weight I'll use a much smaller battery pack than before that weighs about half as much ( the same as the battery pack on Masochist )

making anarchist a spinner after the new year, going to buy a disc for it from will thomas, the whole rebuild should cost about £40-£50 depending on the price of the disc
