its already being produced
http://www.robotcombat.com/products/0-SABER2X12-RC.html
for a flipper you'll need a load of pneumatics including:
reservoir tank
buffer tank
solenoid valve(s)
adapters
quick release valves
tubing
ram
regulator
(probably missed something out there but thats all i can remember off the top of my head:P)
for an axe you could use pneumatics (i am for a heavy) or you could use an electric motor like pure evil. a motor would be easier (probably).
an as for lifter you need a powerful electric motor like a windscreen wiper motor from a car. (panic attack used 2 heavy duty lorry windscreen motors). or you could use a drill motor hooked up to some type of hocus pocus mechanism. (harry tried to explain this to me but i can't remember ) so you'd be better off asking him, his forum name is 'haz'.

Two issues with that:mattsdragons wrote:im edging toward a axe or lifter but what about a circular saw type thing? similar to pussycat?
I: They're still considered 'spinners' and so have all the issues associated with those (i.e. being only able to run twice to three times a year with the weapon, safety, a couple of extra rules)
II: Saws, generally, are designed to cut slowly into static wood or metal - robots tend not to be very static and not precise enough to cut slowly, and even if they're used 'correctly' they cause minimal damage, especially to modern armour - if you stick a wood cutting blade on a motor and ram another robot with it, it'll almost certainly shatter or break or otherwise cease to work.
(hardened steel wood cutting blades are also banned by the way )
Pussycat's blade from series 4 onwards was much more of a disc than a saw, it only had four teeth, was specially engineered and did most of its damage from inertia and impact damage.
