There appears to be a problem if the robot is fully up on the flipper it tries to lift the full weight in one go and throw it almost vertically. If you flip with only part of the robot on th flipper it only tends to lift that end and throws it more horizontally. I am looking at puting some stops on the flipper to limit how far up the flipper the other robot can get.

I am not sure that taking advice from the opposition is a good idea but I know what you mean. Deep down I would prefere to use Combatant but if we are using and arena that a spinner can fly off in all four directions ie only a low wall on two sides then Defiant has a better chance of success. Mutant has to be used as the 4th robot must be a walker and Variant is a much more stable spinner than Combatant and being a bit slower less likely to drive out of the arena. I have finally found a way to practice my driving using one of my minisumo's in the minisumo arena. I have had one quick try with my slowest mini sumo and it seemed quit good so I might try it with the faster ones.

I now have fully automated reload on the flipper. I just press the throttle cut button on the DX6i and the flipper fires then automatically reloads and set back to the ready to fire position. See Video:

It seems to take about 1 sec to reload.
