I think the issue you're going to face is that anything that mobile (that isn't Hollywood) is not going to be sturdy enough to be a shield. Even at KR, where it's light contact with padded weapons, it's going to take a beating... and a bunch of moving parts is going to break, jam, etc.

You know, this is just the kind of crazy malarky that I might try and fiddle with... I made a freaking spinning shield... Come to think of it, I might bring that next event if anyone is curious to have a look.

I made something like this before. But it would be completely unsafe for Larping. The trick is to use high tension springs, slides, and a pin, affixed to a bracer, that all the plates lay on.
