Ok here is the new one. It's now a Lightweight. I know that i was told to have a 2WD with NPC fasts and Hypno-Disc's wheels but i didn't cos something went wrong with the FastRight one not the FastLeft a while after I made Zuton. I did use NPC Fasts but I had to use them upright.

That's not a bad idea. Click made an "Inertia Flipper" named Ludicrous Speed, and won BOTM with it. If you're wanting an inertia flipper, you really need NPC Fast motors, and as smooth a flipper arm as possible (i.e. remove the spike strip), and the Vlad Flipper seems a little bit big for this. Perhaps a 40cm Steel Skirt would work better.

Edit: Mag Snapper? You should probably swap for a BSG, Mags don't really offer a great deal more power for the 10 kg weight disadvantage. S3 Wheels also aren't particularly efficient, you might want to use Hypno wheels instead, and add some form of stabiliser on the front, to stop your bot tipping forwards when you try to flip an opponent.

Vlad's if he wants invert-ability.

Inertia flippers don't work when they're inverted anyway. Hypno Wheels would give better grip, thus better speed, thus better flipping power when it's the right way up.

To be honest, i didn't really think of it that way.

What about techno's then?

They are grippy and are large enough for invert-ability, the only problem is the weight.

That's not a bad LW flipper there. Much better than the MW version, in my opinion.

Technos would be insane. See if he can do it XD

But hypnos are probably the best choice since it should be able to self right.

Improvement!
You only need a maximum of 5 ants here, as a BSG needs only 2.5 ants to power it.
You should also lighten up the flipper (an aluminium sheet would do here) and add a metal hinge wedge.
If I were you, i'd also downgrade to normal NPC's, NPC fasts with hypno's on a Lw is a bit too much if you ask me, when you can use that weight on better things.

A good LW flipper uses 2 BSGs and 6 ants.

And scorpion is right.

Philippa · « **Reply #50 on:** August 05, 2011, 08:26:13 AM »

2 normal NPCs, 2 BSGs and 6 ants

Put your BSGs higher, ala AntonYYYm. Higher burst motors in flippers give moar torque.

Also you don't need flippers that heavy.

I know they're not as high as AntonYYYm's but they're REALLY powerful!

Naryar · « **Reply #54 on:** August 05, 2011, 08:49:35 AM »

But now you have crap wedges, and anything with a flat sheet or small wedge component will probably go under your bot.

Pwnator · « **Reply #55 on:** August 05, 2011, 08:53:48 AM »

Rebuild the chassis so the batteries are under the BSGs. You'll have the weight for a better wedge.

I'd put the BSGs in the chassis but above the ants. Move the control board and you should have room, and that'll save weight on the multi-extenders/carbon fiber extenders, the bursts will be better protected and I think it'll tip less easily when the flippers are up.

BTW you should really crop your images to just the robot to save space on the page and waste less server space.

Urjak · « **Reply #58 on:** August 05, 2011, 09:19:42 AM »

Get some sort of stabilizer, ideally a metal hinge wedge, sticking out of the front of the bot so that it won't tip forward when flipping.

i tried that but the space between the base of the bot and the bottom of the bsgs wasnt enough to put the ants in
