I would say UK flippers because they look more effective with the launching forward and the chance of the topside being destroyed by HS lowers. US flippers have more power but if you are trying to launch them out of the arena you have to do a run up flip not stationary like UK flippers. Or something like that.

Out of what arena...?

The pair of sub-bot-types are both better in their home Arena's. Putting Matador in the Robot wars Arena would fail because of its higher ground clearance whereas putting Thermidor in the American Arenas would be suicidal because it could be easily out-pushed and possibly destroyed by spinners.

I consider them equal.

Imma keep it simple:
US makes awesome spinners

RFL doesn't
Robogames doesn't
Battlebots didn't
Robotica did but I didn't have very many flippars

It was possible to get bots outside the arena edge and so strand them there.

Referring back to Hazard VS Sabotage
1. Sabotage is a LIFTER not a flipper
2. Of course hazard is going to win
3. The fact that the lower the weight class the harder it is to get a relatively effective flipper IRL makes it tougher
Enigma has to do better than that
