Merrick's IRL Designs

[Naryar]

stronger clamp, both in motor and in extender.

add a wedge.

Also make it so the clamp is the self-righter.

[RedAce]

Anything I should do with the skin on the wedge to sort it out and make it look better?

I would suggest a metal skin on the wedge and put some slots in for the teeth.

Other than that, it looks pretty good.

Which motor would you suggest?

It's currently using the cheatbot Razer one.

[Probably Rob]

Anything that isn't Judge burst, sucks~.

I like the big German flipper. The newer flipper needs some wedges.

stop making him using cheatbot parts

well a legal DSL burst for one.

Pendulum isn't allowed to rustle any more jimmies in Rob's tournaments, so I guess his successor has to try and do the same Last Rites BS without actually being as good.

[Probably Rob]

Why not make Pendulum a heavyweight (just for the tournament), as the Hworf blades would be allowed?

Because I really like Lift-Off!. It showed potential in Battlebots and it has the chance to chuck stuff over the walls now.

Plus it'll look awesome when a spinner inevitably tears the many flippermakers apart.

Is Lift-Off! still a CW?

It was always a HW.

[Merrick]

First ever attempt at a 4-bar lifter. Or whatever you call it. 

Before I skin it, any improvements that should be made?

[Badnik96]

Certainly looks awesome.

[AlexGRFan97]

Side skirts?

[Merrick]

Side skirts?

Could do, but it would;

A -  probably obscure anything on the sides that I want to skin.

B - definitely take it over 600kg. I could try and shed a bit of weight to try and make it happen, certainly.

[Merrick]

Right, that'll do.

[MassimoV]

Nice SFTW skin lol. Not bad. I would personally use small wedges as apposed to flipper segments at the bottom of the flipper.

I guess I could see how it looks. Kind of wanted it to look like a kind of forklift design, but I shall experiment.

[Badnik96]

Cool name but tbh I don't think it fits.

I was hoping the slotted steel would look like the shell of an armadillo.
