Title: Advice on how to make an effective front hinged flipper
Post by: JeordieX on January 10, 2013, 02:12:49 PM
Cassius 2 or Firestorm style. All the decent DSL motors are too big to be placed at the front of a wedged bot, therefore the flipper itself sticks up in the air rather than in line with the slope.

Something I'd recommend is Whammettnuht's front-hinged flipper burst motor- it uses the model of a DSL hinge, but it has the power of a Judge, IIRC.

Is that on DSL, or do I have to download it?

Sorry bit of a noob question

It's not in DSL. You should be able to find it in the Downloads section.

And cheating is bad.

Without cheating?

Maybe using extenders, or some legal trickery?

You can't have your cake and eat it on this one, i'm afraid. I can't think of any way to make a front hinged flipper flush to the floor without the flipper burst motor.
