Hurricane (Retired)
Hurricane is the first really successful pneumatic flipper I've built, although the flip success rate is low. On top of that, it is poorly armoured and difficult to control. It's driven by direct drive M motors and it currently weighs 477g.
The main thing I wanted from this robot was for it to work as a successful flipper, and it sort of does, but lacks the power to get robots up onto it's wedge properly (it's front-hinged). Therefore, I've scrapped it and have built a new one, Pressure.
It's showcase can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spdMWkx9hx0
