Astroflights are lighter than piglets and can be used for the exact same purpose as the piglets you have there. Why exactly do you need that polycarb skirt?

Hope you don't take this the wrong way but I thought I'd try cloning Hammatime the way I'd personally do it, just to show you what you could do if you wanted.

I retained the 5mm alu armour you mentioned, and I'm not saying this is how you should build but hopefully should help you along the way :)



It weighs 799kg so it's super tight and not necessarily super achievable but just to put what my suggestions into perspective :)

Well, after messing around a bit, I made a good Middleweight Flipper.  It is called Bacon Flipz


That inside picture has the steel skirt used for the flipper removed just so the inside can be seen better.
It has Plastic 10MM Armor
It is also quite effective.

Hey, I have a lot of terrible test bots that do absolutely nothing!  Should I show them?

(Also, is there a way to make a circle chassis?)

no

Seriously?
click on the circle option by moving your mouse with your hand over it and press the left button. then move your mouse to the slider and left click it again. now move your hand to the left and right to move the slider.

Ok.  Time to play a small game.  I have 15 Bots (This is to show derpyness, not an actual showcase of building abilities).  Each will be shown, and you will have to match a name to each one.  The Winner gets to choose one bot that they can "steal". DO NOT post it

(To reduce post size, this will be posted as an Imgur Gallery Link.)

If this isn't really part of your showcase, then I dunno whether it belongs in a separate thread, but whatever.

And now, A IRL CW Bot.  I call it Baconator

And the Insides:

Very Compact XD
Absolutely DESTROYS Flippers.
However, against Beta, it's hammer (somehow) got between the disk and the bot, and then Beta kinda just died after that.
