For once the mods did something right
can I enter a weaponed flipper like this or is too close to a popup(Image removed from quote.)
could I enter something that's a low wedge with guite a few motors and for weaponry it has a bunch of spike strips on the wedge?
I'm surprised that my bot got in 5th, given how I sent it in as soon as possible.Looking at the recent stock showcases, I think that my bot will really have a bad time with those.Mixed thoughts about the weaponed flipper, for one "come on, we have a tournament and the next similar thing to a popup gets entered", on the other hand weaponed flippers are rather rare and the only real way to make flippers win stuff outside of OOTA's, so it should be all good to enter.As usual, the stacking amazes me.

You really were number 5 to send in a bot (including me).I had mixed thoughts about the weaponised flipper as well, but to me it is a unique design (when do we see flippers?) and gives the bot a way to win without relying on an OOTA. It's certainly taken more skill to build than a pop-up as well so I think it's fair game.
Technically a popup with razors replaced for spike strips can already count as weaponized flipper

fracture's bot is a popup, just a very powerful one that gave it amazing OOTA capability. nobody even makes front hinge flippers in stock anyways.
plus popups are made to go for KO's while weaponed flippers go for the OOTA while maybe trying to earn some points, i don't recall ever seeing a weaponed flipper that could get KO's

But how would you do a front hinged flipper and in what category would you put Fracture's bot from your recently hosted tournament?
Hey guys, I have returned from holiday.I have received a number of extra entries so I may have to disappoint a few people... I will begin reviewing everyone's designs and getting this underway shortly!
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
So is this going anywhere?
