If a spinner spins too fast on a small chassis, it havoks.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

is that even when its not spinning? because i dont even have a chance to switch the spinner on before it flies off
but i suspect its just the physics engine

Needs a bigger chassis.  Havok doesn't like small chassises for some reason.
