Well. the design isn't a flipper of spikes, it is a wedge with spikes in it that has the spikes come through the wedge to hit the bot. I like Wham's Idea!

I like that inverted popup idea.

UnderStriker: Sounds like the NAME of a popup.

Flopup: *Snigger* *Ahem* No.

UpperStriker: Lame.

Bottom Beaters: Sounds like a drum under a wedge.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

In theory Sage is right, popups are popdowns and this is a reeal popup. But we called popdowns popups for 5 years now...

EDIT: i agree with S32 and i will add that bottom beaters is unappropriate.

Ok then...
Well, why not just keep it pop-ups?
Rather than change our langauge of RA2, and change all of our normal pop-ups into pop-downs, just call both the same, makes life easier!
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

Well I don't think that it qualifies as a popup, maybe what Reier said was good?

SlashBack was designed to be a realistic popup.

Up, down, it doesn't matter which way the burst motors fire, it's still a popup in my book.  Just like the direction of a flipper--Firestorm-style or Toro-style--doesn't matter; they're still both flippers.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.
