Don't 'Toro' style flippers are more mechanically efficient but they don't get as much throw compaired to a UK style flipper. Trust me, my flipper 'Phoenix' has a larger ram than Vertigo's flipper 'Explosion' but gets less height and distance its flips.
Ram size is only one factor affecting a flipper's power

Ram Size + Chassis Design + Amount of Expansion Room + Amount of Flow = Flipper Power

Your flipper is about 10 times less powerful than Explosion due to the lack of a buffer tank :P


On an antweight, your flipper power is atleast 80% decided by the power of the servo, so the design does not matter a huge amount
Go for whatever design you like

Winning an ant fight really isn't something to brag about, sorry :P

And I was too busy to use mine at Maidstone, you still have that joy to come
Why is it that every GTM member who has a robot IRL except haz has done extremely well in tourneys? Vertigo's got a crazy number of wins, I've never failed to place in the top three, and Mikes placed highly in many tourneys.
Well there's only three of us, just co-incidence really

I'm sure that's quite achievable :P
