(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.

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.
