Tower Conquer Robot

Can anyone suggest the type of active weapon that is suitable for tower conquer robot???The game is basically where the robot needs to conquer a platform at certain heightby riding through a ramp

Probably a lifter so you can get under other robots when at the top, whilst also raising it for higher ground clearance when trying to climb the ramp.

Thats literally a guess, never seen that kind of game being done in the community outside video games.

Thanks for your opinion,its a common game in my place but im a beginner for this game.How about using a spinner weapon which spin vertically, placed at front of the robot to invert the opponent robot???Any comments or other suggestions??

Is it held in a safe arena? Fully contained?

If not, never use a spinning weapon.

Big, heavily geared down motors, 4wd and a small lifter (scoop) would be your best bet.

Exactly what Niels says, you need to ensure the arena your competing in is safe enough to use spinners.

Also remember that if its ground scraping (to lift the other robot), then itll likely hit the ramp when it goes onto it and fly off in a random direction.

The game arena will look like above pic.The robot which remains on top of the tower will be the winner.The robot loses the game when it fell outside of the game arena.

What we mean is something like this, where there is a cage around the actual arena as youve shown. If it doesnt have this cage then spinners need to be limited to 500rpm (i think).

Actually it doesn't have a cage.The game field is made of stainless steel as per shown dimension above

As such spinners need to be limited (or banned) for safety reasons.

Thus a lifter is probably the most effective design in my opinion.

Would you mind redirecting the host of those games to this forum?
Or pass him the FRA rules?

These hobbies can be very dangerous when safety isn't the main concern.
An accident occurring during these events can cast a shadow on us all.
'It's all fun and games 'till someone gets hurt"

Don't get me wrong, we all applaud events like the one you wish to enter, but we need as many people aware of safety issues as we can.

What is the weight limit?

The weight limit is 5 kg with a dimension limit of 20cmx20cm.I would like to ask whats the difference between a flipper and lifter??Anyone?

A flipper has a more explosive action (pneumatics) than a lifter (electric motor)

The flipper is meant to transfer a large amount of momentum to your opponent causing him to travel further than the action of the flipper itself where as a lifter is more capable of controlling your opponent and even holding them aloft.
