I am currently working on a melty ant, with the aim of super sizing it for next years nationals
Edit: I'm also the crazy one attempting a ring spinner. I have a lot of work ahead of me |

I might still try attaching a wedge back there, because I can't drive inverted and I want to try a material adhesion technique but I'm glad to know I am not going to get stuck whe ... |

With nationals in a few days, I should start my build thread here.
I attempted to start my featherweight build over a month ago with a ring spinner:

My antweight Scarlet has a 110mm 30g disc at around 15000rpm and it ridiculously over powered.
Awesome, thanks! I am thinking of dropping my ring weight to 25ish grams and using the weight to pack ... |

Just realised I haven't updated here for a while.
I have been quite busy designing and redesigning both my ants and my feather.

Hi All
Thanks for the advice!
I guess I wasnt really thinking of the difficulty of scaling my current system (running in ants) up to the feather weight class.
This is going to be a big leap and ... |

Well done for getting a super heavy weight built!
I loved the Deathroll Vs Captain Shrederator fight, it really took a lot to take Deathroll down.
Nick's comment above got me thinking though, so ... |
