I guess it can be, but the good ones have spike strips or razor tips that fire up and rip the bottoms of enemy bots.

Look through the showcases to get ideas for the most effective popup designs.

It would be your own bot, but take certain aspects of the designs you see and include them.

You mean a non-damaging flipper with static weapons like CRITICAL EMERGENCY ?

Well not, that is no popup.

No, I mean a damiging flipper (like a spike strip) that flips into an elevates static wepon (like a mace).  If not, define popup.

Yes this can be a popup.

Well, you can define a popup as a wedgy bot that has short weapons on burst motors designed to attack the bottom plate of the bot : you get under the bot, and you fire your weapons.

Would a robot with a piston that fires diagonal instead of a burst count as a popup? Just...want something cool.

nope, this is a poker.

Popups = burst motors.
