Designs
FlipSter
FlipSter has 3 WDMA bursts placed under the flippers. The bot appeared in Light vs. Dark but lost due to components being too heavy to do an OOTA.
FlipSter 2&3
FlipSter 2 added 2 spike strips on the center flipper in hope of inflicting more damage. The addition of the strips added more weight, and furthermore removed the possibility of OOTA.
FlipSter 3 had only the internals changed. It included cambered wheels, a plate on the bottom of the chassis, and different batteries.
FlipSter IV
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 by aluminium armour plates (now lexan/polycarbonate). It can even OOTA super heavyweight bots.
