Be very cautious with doing stuff in the backyard and all. You'd be surprised how much power some of those suckers have. The actual Battlebots arena is completly steel everywhere with I believe 0.5" lexan all around, as well as the spike rails to keep the robots from slamming into the walls. Even with that, they still have to constantly strengthen the arena cause of newer and even more powerful battlebots. Just be really cautious that you aren't going to throw 2 spinners against each other in the backyard or something silly like that, because the end result won't be a happy one.
