      @thelatiosmaster Год назад +45

      That's exactly what makes Hydra hydraulic flipper so unique: CO2 based flippers consumes the gas to generate pressure, so they run out of it after some flip.
      Hydraulic flippers don't consumes anything, so they can deliver a basicaly undefined number of flips never loosing power

    • @233Deadman
      @233Deadman Год назад +51

      @@ntal5859 You're close to it there. It's effectively a spring type hydraulic accumulator, but utilising air for the compression vector rather than a steel spring. The advantage they have is they can keep going all fight unless they have a rupture somewhere in the system, but there is a slight downside of it needing to take a few seconds to charge it up to full power.

He could've taken a late knockout win (heck, John seemed like he was trying to beat the fight timer when counting out Free Shipping), but because Free Shipping did so well to survive as long as it did, it deserved to go the distance.

    what's impressive, is how well optimized this flipper is. most bots run out of co2 after like 10 flips, actually i'm not sure what he uses to power the flipper, it could be different kind of mechanism, i haven't noticed any co2 venting during the flips.
    also it's impressive how many hard hits free shipping took before breaking down, don't forget that those are almost 100kg robots flying around, try dropping 10kg on your floor and see just how much force it has. i think over 90% of bots would break after 1 of those high flips.

    • @valdemar-q7n

      It doesn't use CO2 at all, it's a hydraulic flipper. Its name, Hydra, also reflects this. They made a post on Facebook about how it works. Being able to flip many times with the same power is one of the great advantages of this technology.
