4-Bar flipper idea

[Velocity EVO]

Has this idea been tried before.  (besides the Biohazard replica) to have a 4-bar flipper that functions and can launch its enemy sky high. Would it be possible to make a component that functions like a 4-bar flipper. then attatch the wedge etc etc.

Just idea ive though of cos theres only like one 4-bar flipper in DSL

It might be possible in theory, but putting it into a component would be extremely hard. I mean, the skirt hinge is just a really really weak servo, if I remember rightly, and I'm not really sure what category of mechanics a 4-bar lifting arm would fall under.

I know this might complicate things further. But just in case it might not flip properly. Make this one use C02 for the flipper. Giving it even more force and possibly throw a robot out of the arena from halfway.

So then it'd be classified as a burst piston. That would be a very odd thing to make, you'd have to have one component and incorporate four axles into it...

Now that you mention it. It would drive you rather mad trying to get it right

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but that isn't possible.
