I could potentially although they are quite expensive. These were made out of material I had left over from a client's project.

After an eternity of redesigns and failures I finally have a version of Pop! that works. Videos to come once I convince this RX to bind.

Looking forward to the video. How many flips are you getting with the QEVs? I may jinx this but there may be another pneumatic flipper, what about a pneumatic melee :D

I think there's gonna be a few aren't there? Pop, Anticide, the Explosion team have one if they're coming, and I think Rhys is building one too.

That looks amazing. It's incredible how much you can cram into 150g if you try :)

And Dave, I think Shapeways have made the biggest contribution to our robot so far :lol:

I'm just glad the arena is supposedly going to be bigger! Haha. I so want to see a pneumatic flipper against a suction robot...

Bigger areana? What's this all about? Sounds like a good idea to me.

Has to be said though Josh, this is looking amazing. Fingers crossed nothing does actually go pop before the event, I'd love to see it finally running. And yes Dave I am building a pneumatic flipper too, but currently most of the bits are still with UPS thanks to Shapeways being so useless.

Scott and Andy are apparently building a bigger arena for it, with slightly less drop off than usual :D
