The problem with TAN is that its too big. Every time we get in the arena with it we get the whole robot in side your jaws and theres not much we can do until you let go.
Will a 6 ram with 8 stroke @ 20 bar do then. Inlet is 1 1/4 BSP. Valve is MASSIVE. Dont know if we can get it yet still working on it. Single Acting with spring return. It was used at a local company for punching holes in 1/4 plates. The whole table the machine was on was used as a buffer tank. Dont know if we could do anything with it yet but its still worth getting hold off. Does Jonno want an arena flipper?
im in too
Nooo, the problem with TAN is that it relies on being able to drive about whilst its got hold of you.
If youve got more traction, all TAN can do is hold on for the ride of its life around the arena surley ?

Kos is working on that Ed, I hope he gets the extra finished before Worthing.
Evil, very evil..
no crusher talk over here !
And I think Ill be a member of this here flipper association too. Should we make a difference between flippers and launching platforms ???
I think the definition of a flipper should be one that turns another robot over. A launching platform is one that throws another robot in the air.
oh, forgot where does a lifter come into this then, if you count it as a flipper (Ive turned a few over) can I join, I do have flipper, honest. It just has a crusher on the end of it.
no point having such a great weapon if your in the pit ..... !!!!
think your good enough for the ripper vs big nipper rematch yet ???
bring it on
Humm.....
I think I heard Mike Lambert taking about a hybrid weapon that we should all be scared of.
He was going on about flipping spinners
sounds dangerous to me
