Hello I am just looking through some vex spin up ideas and I am wondering what those plastic things are called. Also can I buy this from the vex store or use something that I already have? .Some examples:
Do you know if we have to only buy from vex or can we get it from somehwere else?
In the game manual there are rules regarding what plastic is allowed - specificly rule R9

We bought ours from Grainger. They are pretty cheap and come in different colors, only drawback is that they take a week or two to ship.

I watched that video as well and we use plexiglass, which is pretty easy to cut and use.
and always has been, that’s not a new rule.

I heard on the video that this was very difficult to machine. Not sure if it’s the best idea, but hey I’m a sucker for variation in VEX, go for it mate.
