Not sure probably an electric lifter. I hope it will have more success than the old Saint!

I think there should be more lifters. Sure they seem worse than flippers, but Bio-Hazard always did well

A lifter has many advantages in the current arenas. Being able to gently roll a robot up against a wall can immobilse it. At Barnsley, Cabrakan could rest immobilised on its side, but this only happened once because the CO2 flippers are too powerful to be accurate. A flipper is good at getting a robot OTA, a lifter could be good in other ways. Thinking about putting one on my heavy, and Cabrakan will have one in the future too.

How many e-lifters are there at the moment

[dgr]

I cant think of any currently fighting...

[craig_colliass]

Perhaps Big Nipper could be put in this group.

[robotwars]

I think Big Nipper have to be one of the most successfull lifters around !! Maybe even ever !

[craig_colliass]

Dont forget Storm 2 the lifter on that is quick and powerfull!!!
Seraphim wont be as good as either of those two.

But it will look better

Are you going for a traidtional rear hinged lifter or 4-bar? or something new?
