Voted bot 5, not really because the splash but because it is a good rupting flipper, but the splash is cool too.
You don't have the knowledge to vote for this BOTM. :P

I'm kidding, but you should still check again. Which I did too, and I just noticed that it looks like it has 4 wedges; is that just an error with the image?

Has to be an error cos i checked and i can see only two...

It looks like there's two additional wedges under the blades, before they meet the wedges that you can see.

Can't see them.

I guess someone should test the theory posted on #5

Whats funny, is that just about all entries this time around were slapped together.

That's the back of the Small Wedge components. You can see them because the DDT's are pointing down at quite a large angle.

So.... RA2 has another gimmick that we can exploit?

Yep.

Also seeing people's backlash to the Giraffe, changed to 5. If this means a generic HS wins instead, I hold you all responsible for my bad mood. :P

See? This is why discussion was banned in the first place. All the people butthurt about #6 is influencing the voting.

Actually, I think he only banned discussions because everyone kept saying: "DERP, MY ENTRY IS #84!"

While I completely agree..

I would hate to see #6 win...

Its cool to see others proving #5 works.. its always the problem with "claiming" splashes.. you cant be 100% sure.. (its something I had to hurdle with my entries like Engage) but this is something that could be handy for future stock flippers..

Did you try to replace the 9 pinks with just a black and a pink and see if flipping power was changed? I really don't think there should be a difference between using a black instead of wasting weight on 8 pinks.

There have been two actually well-built and well-skinned MLP bots that didn't win and one really crappy MLP bot that didn't win, but all of them had much stiffer competition than this.

Hmm. I guess I missed those. Could have been drunk... i dunno.

With a bigvolt and 1 pink:

JoeBlo · « **Reply #116 on:** July 30, 2011, 09:35:05 PM »

I tried equal weight with super-volts only (3 Supervolts total)

And it couldnt equal the SFTW flip in #5's splash.. It had loads of force but this seems to be something new loading up pinks to gain large hangtime..

It's a fascinating theory indeed...even I tested it out myself, as I didn't really want evidence from Mechadino seeing as how he used a black and one pink on one bot and a black and nine pinks on the other, which is not what I meant at all...

From about 5 minutes worth of testing with both bots...I don't think the difference in height between the two is enough to make a conclusion about number of batteries vs power output rate different from what it is already.

TBH, This BOTM is pretty much a disaster.
Though it is nice that someone pointed out you can stack pinks for "more power".
......
Now we just need to make a Pink~~ie Pie~~ powered pop-up. It will not only do crazy amounts of damage, but also throw things around the room.
