Snak Masheen won today!
EVENT REPORT:
Today was awesome, probably the best possible way to kick off the first event of the year. Although a few of the veterans were missing, the sheer number of new people and bots made up for it! It was great to meet them all.
MY fights:
Snak Masheen vs Plan G
The planners hadn't fancied their changes with their drum against the blade on SM so armoured up Plan G with steel and their "jolt killer" wedge. However shortly into the match they had problems, and only two small hits were landed on Plan G's side before it was all over! SM wins!
Snak Masheen vs Monolith
Monolith is a huge ground scraping wedge bot, which was fairly hard to fight! No matter my attempts to get around to the side, Mitch could turn around to face the wedge to my blade. They ran into problems however and it died during the match, with SM winning from a KO. Right at the end of the match one of my drive motors started smoking (probably from pushing monolith around so much!) but I caught it just in time so the motor still works, any longer and it'd have been gooone.
Snak Masheen vs Razor Back
Razorback was Jason's bot, and was a pretty damn solidly built brick with a cool hinging spike/wedge thing at the back. I tried to get a fair few hits in, however not too far in his spikes got into my belt and derailed it, leaving the robot weaponless. A few pushes around also Knocked out my reciever aerial so I lost tonnes of range. The fight then proceeded to get VERY boring as I refused to drive to where Razorback was in the rear left of the arena due to my crap range, and Razorback's batteries being so dead that it couldn't overcome the friction of its four wheels to turn! Eventualy it became so dead that I think it counted as a KO, but might be wrong.
Snak Masheen vs Cyborg
Cyborg was Dylon and his friends' robot, coming all the way from New Castle just for the event! It was a awesome little first robot, but being only 7.2v with no weapons and a thin metal shell, it also weighed hardly anything. It eventualy got tossed onto its side after a bit of mangling, but they got its shell back into shape within 10minutes after!
Snak Masheen vs Sorry
The final. Chris had heaps of trouble getting Sorry ready to go before the fight, but managed to get it going. I managed to get a fair few hits onto it, as well as a weapon to weapon hit which didn't seem to do much to either robot. At one point sorry's reciever battery came loose and fell out, resulting in sorry turning in a circle with weapon on, but no control! Its weapon was run into he wall and Chris managed to sort it out.
The rumble was total chaos, and only the video can satisfy that.
All in all, a great day! Although what a scorcher!? _________________ ( •_•)
