you cannot fight what you cannot see clearly
kind of relevant since badspot's making a spinner:
ICEwave did something pretty neat with its spinning bar in that they painted the edge of it a similar color to the floor of the arena, so when it gets up to speed it looks a lot shorter than it actually is. I'd imagine that would make judging your distance from the bar to be pretty difficult.

The final aluminum version will have this, but you can't really press bearings into acrylic. 

If you can afford it, Lexan polycarbonate is extremely good for being both lightweight and strong. Plus, it has enough plasticity that you can press bearings into it, but I probably wouldn't rely on it for a super powerful bond. We use it for a lot of custom-shaped plastic parts, one of my favorites being a sliding battery box all made out of one sheet of folded polycarbonate.

I'm the leader of an FRC team, so robotics stuff is my thing.

There's also an mp4 source which the browser should fall back to, but it probably doesn't.  The hot new trend is to break video playback in your browser at least once every few months.  Really speeds up adoption. 

Try viewing the mp4 directly https://badspot.us/img/Robot-Drive-Test.mp4
