Well, here's an idea I had:

People post your ORIGINAL bot designs (can be modifications of old designs, completely new designs, even new bot types!)

At the end of the month, I will judge all the posted designs and give the best design a prize!

Bah, I just put a tournament in discussion based on something like this.

And there had already been a tournament like that Stag.

If this is going to go forward, some one will have to post a bot.
Me :)

Havotic Uplift

Its a flipper robot with a flipper powered by 2 pistons, the whole flipper assembly fires upward and flips the opponent!

And then there's this that I invented:

The Full Body Flipper

As you can see, the flipper flips downwards, making the entire robot, chassis and all, flip upward.

That's not new, i've seen that done on WBC rep's in Pay tribute with replicas somewhere

nice to know Freeziez doesn't watch the videos of the tag team tourney I held

but yeah it's been done.

freeziez · « **Reply #7 on:** August 16, 2010, 02:04:13 PM »

Sorry, but it's still a cool design.

I've made FB Flippers and FB Popups before

ianh05 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 16, 2010, 02:11:15 PM »

a cool design would be a side hammer where the side hammers are 2 spinning vertical weapons

,

we hardly even see pistons mixed with horizontal spinners.. not sure if they'd work or if anyone has tried.

Wow, I hadn't expected to see this get such a quick response!

Meh, I suppose its too late to mention mah torque reaction popup (Which Nar and 123 have made epic versions of):P

Badnik96 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 16, 2010, 02:54:18 PM »

It has to be something new.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #13 on:** August 16, 2010, 03:02:25 PM »

I can always make something new and useless.....

Badnik96 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 16, 2010, 03:03:41 PM »

It doesn't have to be something effective, just needs to be something new and fresh.

Somebody · « **Reply #15 on:** August 16, 2010, 03:42:12 PM »

@km I have one of those in my showcase somewhere...

I tried that but they need to be really small and so aren't any good. A HS side hammer works better.
