Should we say "bots" or "robots"? i'm leaning towards "robots". Just spruced up the grammar and spelling a bit.

FlipSter is a heavyweight [[Flipper]] made by [[TGM]]. It is a reboot from the original FlipSter which was less known to crowd.
FlipSter's weapon is made of 3 flippers, put on 3 WDMA burst motors. The bot is powerful but is fragile. Most of the weight was spent on extenders and looks.
FlipSter and FlipSter 2 entered tourneys with no success (technically it won Light vs. Dark by being a member of [[Team Light]], but it lost it's first match so it's a phyrric victory), FlipSter 3 entered no tourneys, and Flipster IV has entered 3 tourneys, but has yet to fight.

The latest of the bunch FlipSter IV ditched the arabic numbers, in favour of roman numbers. It was a huge update from FlipSter 3 as it has shorter, but more powerful flipper. The bursts were placed at the back of the bot, and are protected with aluminum armor plates (now lexan). It can even OOTA super heavyweight bots.
