@layes64Nova That is correct, the design of the weapon is similar to the 340 lb. bot named Ziggy. This pneumatic flipper design is comprised of a simple mechanical arrangement known as a four-bar-linkage system. A bot that more closely resembles the overall design of Spatha is one that is called Botfly. This also is a 120 lb. bot which competed a few years ago in the Robogames competition.
We got the weapon cut by a water-jet so it was actually made strait from the 2d drawing. After four matches at competition, our battlebot came out of it without a scratch.
It looks well thought out. I see someone mentioned it before but I will add: I think you would be struggling with gas with a tank that small. If you use CO2 you will get some more flips, but you will need a buffer tank to fully utilize its flipping potential in either case.
I like the design, I hope to see it in real life some day.
That kind looks a lot like Ziggy.He has the same flipper design it seems like u copied his design.

Its a nice animation and good cad.
Cant see any visable batterys.
Also you probably would want a bigger gas tank and also a buffer tank.
