-I think is more realistic that flippers does damage. I mean that you flip your enemy robot to air and when enemy robot comes down and hits on the floor, it gets some damage.

-And it would be great if you guys add more Robot Wars robots to next DSL. More different robots, now it has too much spinners.

Not a horrible idea, but I'm not completely sure it's possible.

Yeah, you could do it, but then the floor would constantly be doing damage to all the bots on it. Goose had another idea to make flippers able to get points that I think would work nice.

Someone built a spiked wedge that you could use instead of the standard wedge on your flipper. I'm using it on several of my original RA2 robots for scooping and throwing.

Don't ask where I found it - I've been to so many sites searching for parts that I couldn't tell you if my life depended on it ....

Wow that looks nice. :D

works good, too, especially on an Earthquake motor - my robots were doing backflips.

Oh wait, that was a "cheat" part .... oh, well ..... not like I was sing them for online combat, anyway ....
