How about a lifter ?
A lightweight arm that retracts into the body out of harms way can be low powered (if its slow), easy on the batteries, no major shocks (like spinners) to deal with, and is quite exciting to watch as spectators hold their breath to see if the opponent will tip or not.
plus, there arent many lifters about - Vincent, Scoop, An up-to-date version of Blade/CakeTaker ? or perhaps a low-energy rotary lifter like Minimower ? If it works well and holds together, you can gear the ratio up to turn it into a KE Drum ?
Just some ideas.. I dont like Wedges The occasional fast powerful wedge is ok, but I usually head back to the pits to work whenever theres a wedge vs wedge fight on. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
