Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Topic competition.

With The Sudomemo Flipnote Fighting Competition just coming to a close, we wanted to let you all know that we’ll be announcing the winners in a dedicated extra Newsletter tomorrow.

So whatever you do, don’t miss it!!!

OK, now we will return to the regularly scheduled Topics, which will continue as before, kicking off with our Topic “Robots”!

If you're thinking about entering a Topic Flipnote, don't forget to check out our latest theme and its description, including ideas and inspiration to get you started, as well as the upcoming Topics all listed below.

Here's this week's Topic description.

This Weeks Topic - "Robots"

A robot is defined as a programmable machine that can complete a task.

This Topic would include any robot type you can think of, from a simple assembly line SCARA bot (Robotic Arm), to a fully lifelike humanoid robot.

Create your robots in any way you like!

But here’s some mechanical food for thought.

A Robot-OC would be a great way to go!

And bear in mind that the use of mechanization and electronics will really sell your robot designs. As well as robotic movement and sound effects to give your animation an expressive and authentic feel.

Top Tip: Why not try the Dsi Budgie App to robotize your voice.

Whatever you decide, hit that Robot Switch and activate!

We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - Robots and the deadline for your entries is May 5th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.

And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
