I'd recommend just customizing Small Arena. I've seen your cutomization skills before, and Small Arena would be a great starting point.

Or just use Joe's CC Qualifying arena.

4X8 to 8X8 foot lexan box with steel or plywood floor is pretty typical in the US. I'm biased towards no hazards but a kickplate where bots can get stuck on is always fun. 3/16 inch lexan should work but for saftey reasons I recomend doubling that.

yay a first idea i will keep that in mind thanks

my first ant arena idea was to have 1 pit low walls spikes from the floor and side pannels for robots to get stuck on anyone think of anything better

I don't like the idea of spikes. They are just a bear to maintian with any spinner bots and dont do anything.

you could have a hammer on a see-saw type of hinge and have someone controlling it like a ghetto pulverizer

that might be pretty cool

Stagfish · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31, 2010, 04:08:07 PM »

you could make a flame pit with some chicken wire and a lighter.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2010, 11:14:55 PM »

for robots wars minibot toys maybe

you would need something larger for antweights

Flippers are always fun.

you do realize its going to cost around 1000 bucks to to build an 8X8. i've priced it out before, you need 4-4X8 sheets of 1/4" poly, they start at around 190 each plus your shipping so figure 800. and you figure around 120 feet of steel witch comes in 20 foot sections witch you need to cut to 12-8' and 4-4' and your also going to need various fasteners, plywood for floor and roof, and whatever kind of electronics you want to run, lights, and other miscellaneous stuff. its not just a Sunday build its takes lots of planning and funding
