Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - 1tdawg - Dec. 20, 2009
ok heres my idea:
Material:
Duct tape 1 roll (Yes you need the whole roll)
Cardboard (forsupport)
Foam ( For shapeing)
Some kind of clear sealent (To give it texture.) *Optional*
Instructions:
Cut a 2 pieces of cardboard strips to the lenth you want(Make the strips form a circle and that will be the size of your .stadium. Make them about 2-3 inches wide. Carve foam to form a dish (Make sure its round enough to fit in the circe). Place the foam incide cardboard circe and tapetogather. Now tape the entire inside of the arena in strips, making sure that they overlap the top of dish. Now if you wishadd the sealent to create an textureand everlasting bond.
I havent made this but i think it will work. Make itif you wish and be suret o post pictures of it. If you find any problems with this design say so and ill fix the instructions.
Heres mine:

Won't there be like creases and bumps all over it, though?
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - 1tdawg - Dec. 20, 2009
Not if you shape well. Or you could call it the bumpage stadium.XD
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - HEARTof4Lion - Dec. 20, 2009
your gonna need something harder than that to keep the stadium in tact after a few uses lol. i have a bowl made out of wood (which is obviously harder than foam) and its got dents and scratches everywhere already after around 30 uses.. you need something thatll retain its shape even after being accidentally stepped on lol.

This will effect the Beyblades spin massively. A Foam interior would seriously get damaged easily let alone attack types stuck in the middle of the running out of spin in 20 seconds.

Hei i know that bit there is thick foam out there. This is basically something to pass the time. And when your done youll have a stadium made of house hold materials. Thats done in about an hour.

And thats why the duct tape is there to help with tht.
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - Hagane Ginga - Dec. 20, 2009
Even worse, thicker foam absorbs the tip, meaning it depletes the spin pretty much
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - SaMaster14 - Dec. 20, 2009
the idea sounds interesting, but I don't think foam is a good idea... plus the duct tape will make it bumpy and annoying.
For right now, I"m just using a wooden chair that has curves on it. Its a decent stadium, just a lot of Knock outs...
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - Hagane Ginga - Dec. 20, 2009
Seems like a tornado ridge, pretty much awesome, but if a beyblade falls off, might it break?

its not that high up, and the blades actually usually keep spinning after they are hit off haha.

With the sealant it should take a better beating since it should be like hard plastic.
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - Hagane Ginga - Dec. 20, 2009
okay.. so your just going to use the the foam to shape it, then use the plastic as the actual stadium?
thats a much better idea then having it solely made out of foam
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - 1tdawg - Dec. 20, 2009
But what im saying is that the duct tape without the sealant is still good for a coupleof uses. If you think about it over time s bumps form you will getused to them and make a strategy on how to use them toyour advantage. Like when kai slammed dranzer onto draciel almost destroyed it. (From season 1)

"getting used to it" isn't a good idea.
it will probaly be more balanced using a frying pan
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - 1tdawg - Dec. 20, 2009
HEy its a pretty good idea. Im im out of school tomorrow (We got 2 feet of snow ill get some foam,sealant,and cardboard (Alreadygot duct tape). And ill build it. I just cant test it.
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - Hagane Ginga - Dec. 21, 2009
why would you come up with a concept, get the parts and not even test the stadium your self
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - 1tdawg - Dec. 21, 2009
I can test it with batle strikers. Its not the same but its close.
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - Hagane Ginga - Dec. 21, 2009
Is it because you don't have any beyblades?

Oh sorry if I seemed aggressive on approach, I apologise.
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - 1tdawg - Dec. 21, 2009
Its all right. I have 20coming in the mail and 3 of them are metal fight.
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - firelord767 - Dec. 21, 2009
It has duck tape. This should be good.
I've alway been a fan of homemade staduims. Its yours and yours alone, and it's like, your home field.
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - 1tdawg - Dec. 21, 2009
Its something new for your opponent to appeal to.
RE: Homemade stadium idea (With duct tape! ;) ) - Hagane Ginga - Dec. 21, 2009
Yah, don't put the plastic coating as optional, since it's something that makes this home made stadium durable
