4WD Front Hinge Flipper - Featherweight

[Shooty]

It's certainly a nice looking machine so far, and I like that the design looks different from your average flipper! A few observations:

1. I'm interested to see exactly how quick your linac will be when amped up. It doesn't seem like it'll be able to truly flick things up high, but from what I remember Firestorm's flipper never did that either, mostly rolling robots for control, so I assume that's what you're going for here.

2. I like that you're going for four motors when it comes to drive, it'll definitely give the machine a boost in pushing power. Mind sharing which method you're using to mount the motors to the sides with? I tried looking through the Venator build diary, but couldn't make out how you did it. Unrelated, but it would also be pretty cool if you could share how you mount the wheels to the motors (I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to do it with my feather).

3. I can't exactly make out how the linac fits into the main body when retracted. If you're able, mind sharing a picture of a side on section view where the flipper is down?

4. I absolutely love the design of the wheels. Michael above pointed out axes, and if you're concerned about the wheels, you could always use a little polycarb to cover them up. The stuff is pretty lightweight, and just makes everything look cooler (just ask John Reid).

All that said, this machines looks simply awesome, and I can't wait to see some of it in the flesh!
