BackSlash

BackSlash is a Middleweight Weaponed Flipper for HIGH VOLTAGE. Like several of the flipper-type bots, it has a weapon component as a flipper.

Builder: ?

Weight class: MW

Weapons: 2 axe heads

Weapon power: DDT

Drive: 4WD RAD with miniwheels

Armor: Titanium

Power: 1 nifty, 1 pink battery

BackSlash is a good example on how NOT to build a weaponed flipper, or a flipper for that matter. It has a high ground clearance (which spells doom for a flipper), and the way its axe heads are placed means that if it did get under another robot, it would be nearly incapable of doing damage. Also, it's underpowered, and cannot self right because the weapon keeps breaking off when doing so

The DSL version of BackSlash is a True Popup called SlashBack.

As far as DSL AI goes, it is probably the best DSL AI MW, equaling Tempest's power in battle. While not very damaging, SlashBack is fast and has one of the best skirt hinge wedges of all DSL.

Builder: Clickbeetle

Weight class: MW

Trivia: Slashback is probably the father of all modern-day popups in DSL, using the standard MW popup drive.
