Rear-hinged flippers are the more common of the two types of flipping weapon seen in Robot Wars. Prior to The Third Wars, most rear-hinged weapons seen in Robot Wars were lifters. The weapon debuted in the form of Chaos, as the rear-hinged flipping arm. Whilst the arm continued to be used throughout the wars in designs such as Gemini, Hydra and Ewe 2, the more famous design arrived in The Third Wars with the arrival of Chaos 2 and Facet. With a wider flipping plate and powerful CO2 reserves, Chaos 2 won consecutive UK Championships and spawned dozens of imitators.
