A [[Weaponed Flipper]] is a subtype of [[Flipper]]. Unlike other flippers, a weaponed one uses weapons on burst motors to help gain points if a match is decided by points. They both share the same goal to lift the opponent up and [[OOTA]] however. These are easy to confuse with [[Popup]]s, since they both use weapons on bursts. The only difference between a popup and a weaponed flipper is while popups have their weaponry protected behind their chassis and other external defenses, a weaponed flipper has its weaponry exposed for bots to grind against or attack, '''and''' while popups are mainly made to [[KO]] the opponent, weaponed flippers mainly win by OOTA.
Examples of weaponed flippers are [[Dementia]] from [[Stock AI]] and [[Tentacle Attack]] from the [[Starcore AI packs]]
'''PROS:'''
*More damage than flippers
*Can take away all the drivetrain and mobility of a bot
*Can flip a bot out of the arena
'''CONS:'''
*Poor damage compared to standard bot types
*Weapons tend to be pretty fragile compared to flipper arms
*May be less powerful than flippers
