Cronos’ Scythe Blades
Cronos’ Scythe blades are replacement weapon components designed to restore performance after hard arena impacts.
In beetleweight combat, weapon blades take repeated, concentrated hits that eventually degrade bite, balance, and reliability. Replacing worn or damaged blades in your Cronos’ Scythe is critical to keeping your robot competitive.
These blades are manufactured from AR500 steel and are designed as direct-fit replacements for the Cronos’ Scythe eggbeater weapon. They match the original blade geometry and mounting pattern so you can swap parts quickly without redesigning your weapon system or changing balance characteristics.
Blades should be inspected after every match for bending, cracking, elongation of mounting holes, or deep edge damage. Any blade showing structural deformation should be retired immediately. Running damaged blades can reduce weapon effectiveness, increase vibration, and place unnecessary stress on bearings, hubs, and mounting hardware.
Keeping spare blades on hand allows fast turnaround repairs between matches and events. These replacement blades let you return your Cronos’ Scythe weapon to full fighting condition so your beetleweight can keep delivering consistent hits match after match.

Maintenance
All replacement blades of any type are consumable impact components. Inspect the blades on your Cronos' Scythe after every match for cracks, bending, elongation of mounting holes, or severe edge damage. Any blade showing structural damage should be retired immediately to maintain weapon balance and reduce stress on hubs and bearings.Blade replacement is straightforward: remove the four mounting screws per blade, swap in the replacement blade, and reinstall the screws securely. Check fastener tightness before every fight and after any major hit.
