Front-hinged flippers are one of two types of flipping weapon seen in Robot Wars, and the less common of the two. The pioneer of this weapon type was Team Cassius, debuting both the true flipper in The First Wars with Recyclopse and later the flipping arm with Cassius. In addition to finishing second in The Second Wars, Cassius famously became the first robot in UK Robot Wars to successfully self-right. Despite these successes, front-hinged flippers remain few and far between in both the original and rebooted series of Robot Wars.

abstract	Front-hinged flippers are one of two types of flipping weapon seen in Robot Wars, and the less common of the two. The pioneer of this weapon type was Team Cassius, debuting both the true flipper in The First Wars with Recyclopse and later the flipping arm with Cassius. In addition to finishing second in The Second Wars, Cassius famously became the first robot in UK Robot Wars to successfully self-right. The most successful competitor with a front-hinged flipper was the Firestorm series of robots, which finished third in the UK Championship three times using both variants of this weapon type. Along with the aforementioned Team Cassius machines, front-hinged flippers Gravedigger and Mute also reached the semi-finals. Despite these successes, front-hinged flippers remain few and far between in both the original and rebooted series of Robot Wars.
