I think scoops are very effective, but someone (Lewis?) has already done a very good FW version of La Machine.
My current 2 thoughts are:
FBS made from a car wheel (Suitably Bitza)
Or, 4 Bar Electric Flipper with dual fan motor weapon power.
Or both...
I think we're alright for lifters now.
I'd say a FBS with a hammer on top.
Hey, who said 'lifter'? None of that slowly lift them off the ground crap!
I think combining both a full body spinner and an electric flipper in one robot is a great idea!!
Gradually seeing this as a trend, with several none linac based electric lifters/flippers in development I feel like Tormenta is under threat.Originally Posted by PJ-27
Ah well, we'll just have to get mark 3 on the go and keep you all at bay.
I kid, build it! 2 of those motors should easily have enough power to be a flipper, if our drill can get Tormenta 2 air when it self rights.
I wouldn't be so negative. You learned a valuable lesson. Don't build a spinner from cast iron! It's too brittle and it failed right at the threads that you tapped in it (stress raisers). If that disk has been made from mild steel it wouldn't have had the same issues. My advice is to keep going with what you have and chalk this down to a lesson learned.

Click on Warrior SKF Video near the bottom.
Revenge of Trouble and Strife is another example, so it can be done in heavier classes at least, assuming Warrior was more than featherweight. Would be great to see the idea with a different take though
Oi! That's my only tactic! LOL
More serious note, anything powered electric motor round here is a lifter regardless of speed.
The only Electric flipper was LF3 with that solenoid that caught fire. Good Times...
The solenoid still works fine, it was the controller to turn it on and off that caught fire! Was an awesome attempt at an electric flipper. I do still personally favour a fast electric lifter though.
