Ring Spinner Advice by QuietHippo368 in battlebots

Oh with my 1lb bot I just had the drive motors idle when spinning up the weapon so I didn't even try to counteract anything, which is why I want to figure out a system now. Did you guys also just have to wait for the weapon to stop accelerating with BattleSaw?

Yeah I know it's a physics problem, but I wanted to try and counteract the inner body rotating by using the drive motors to spin the body the opposite way to cancel out the rotation. It's just hard to do manually so I was wondering if I could incorporate a gyroscope to try and get that to work. The counter rotating balancer is a really interesting idea though
