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

Things scale you know? You just need enough force to be able to flip something 250 lbs and the builders behind the blue robot were able to do that.

In fact, they were debuting new technology to do that (it's confusing but you can read about it here ).

Pneumatic systems in robot combat have been doing this for decades. Here is another example from 2015. And here is another example from 20 years ago in the UK.
