Title: Making a realistic Flipper-Shell Spinner help.
Post by: Hard Bot on July 14, 2011, 04:34:44 PM: I am trying to make a realistic Flipper-Sheck Spinner for BattleBots 2. How do you do that? It is somehow possible in real life because R.o.T.a.S. proved it.

Anyway, I suppose that a wedged part of the chassis could protrude from the FBS part, with the flipper built onto that. At least that's my theory, but it might be worth a try.

IRL it makes sense because the spinner mechanism is being used to store energy for the flipper mechanism. In RA2 it is two separate systems that do not do anything for the other one in any way. Also it's typically better to spend your weight on one weapon instead of two mediocre weapons.

Axleloading and the hollow axle principle basically.
IRL, they used a ring spinner design with the flipper inside the "ring" , so it was much easier.
