This article is about the popular weapon type used by various Robot Wars robots. For other uses, see Flipper (disambiguation).
Flipping Weapons (often simply referred to as Flippers) are designed to get underneath other robots and forcefully throw them into the air or onto their backs. Not only can they enable robots equipped with them to flip opponents over, but also toss them at great heights and distances. Many flippers are also powerful enough to throw opponents over the wall and out of the arena as a result.
Flipping weapons were one of the most popular weapon types in Robot Wars and remain as such in UK robot combat events, especially those where safety restrictions prohibit heavyweight spinners rotating at over 500rpm.
