Reply to comment by Jaedos in 250lb Battlebot is flipped and sticks the landing by jon-in-tha-hood

I don't mean that - when it's being flipped into the net and flipped end over end, it does not move like something that has 250lbs of mass in a somewhat small and low center of gravity package.

Look at the way it lands upside down and wobbles around - I moves like it weighs 25lbs not 250. Something with that much mass in that type of package doesn't land and flop around that way.

I get what you mean. It should have bounced around or something. What you're not seeing is the wobble happened because it speared the steel floor and got stuck.

It landed like that because the spikes embedded themselves in the steel floor. Another comment here has a link to the fight where they show a closer shot.

Yes, they do. I think you’re completely underestimating the forces involved here.

This isn’t even the most impressive flip from Blip.
