EVENT REPORT:
Well, as with all new spinners, their first competition is often quite substandard. With a grenade spinner, even more so!
Suicide vs Orbit:
With orbit now just a big steel wedge, I didn't really give myself much of a chance here. I spun up and tried to hit his less protected rear end but andrew kept his wedge on me, what resulted on the first full speed hit involved the weapon blade flying off and andrews wedge shearing all but one screw holding it on... The resulting wedge fight soon saw suicide royaly owned. Orbit wins.
Suicide vs Cyborg:
Yet another steel wedge! We had locktited the weapon blade in place so i was a little more confident this time. The fight was more violent this time, and I got some good hits on cyborg before suicide randomly stopped. It was working once I pulled it out of the arena...
Suicide vs Stealth:
It really wasn't my day! Actualy, suicide did get a lot of hits in on stealth before eventualy being flipped. Damage to stealth involved a warped flipper arm and a removed castor, plus other structural damage. Suicide also put a few good hits in the floor in my attempts to gyro it over . One of the motors also smoked here, but seemed ok after the fight so I didn't bother replacing it (just as well considering the melay!).
Melay:
It was quite disapointing actualy, I only managed to attack my own wood bot before Lindsay got in and flipped me. He said he wanted to flip me again, but Jolt got to him first! The worst however came when Nick with his most excellent driving skills ran full speed into the rear skid of Suicide, bending it out of place. That damage wasn't that bad, however the sheer force of the impact blew the face off the weapon motor and killed that damaged drill motor by shattering its magnets.
Improvements:
HSC is shitteh meaning our next round has physics following on the monday. I may be able to get with jason to stick my EV car fan motor into it and get it going again for that event, but this version may be retired for a new brushless one for robowars. Will see how study goes (lol, study...) _________________ ( •_•)
