This is a video of Ziggy, a 320lb. flipper battlebot which we based Spatha off of.
T-minus
This is a great video to show characteristics of a flipper and a spinner. Check out how much the spinner tilts every time the bot turns due to the gyroscopic effect. This hinders his maneuverability and is what every spinner battlebot should avoid. Flippers in this competition are allowed to use unregulated CO2, so they are running at about 850 psi. It takes skill to have the same kind of power with only 150 psi.
Knightrous vs Fang
Knightrous lands some very big blows.
Knightrous vs Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck has an unfortunate loss as it gets stuck on the wall.
Pretty in Pink
Pretty in Pink, a pseudo full-body spinner, gets destroyed as it takes on a horizontal spinner.
