IN B4 TEH POPUPS!

Wedged chassis, LOTS OF POWER and a powerful flipper (DDT is best)
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Flippers are only good in DSL as a rule of thumb.

BBEANS 4 arena. Flippers are only good in DSL because there are no flip out arenas in stock.

Depends on what you plan on doing.  There is a VERY good design for a flipper called the "rupt" flipper design, which takes into account a glitch in the original programming for the game.  (Jimxorb created the first one, if I remember right - it's been a while since I've played.)  When set up properly, a MW rupt flipper can throw an HW bot.

However, as System32 pointed out, there are no flip-out arenas in the stock version of Robot Arena, so a "pure" flipper wouldn't be much good.  Additional weaponry, perhaps pop-up or hardmounted weapons, would be needed to make the bot battle-worthy.
