Challenge Belt
Y4 vs. Liar

Representing Christopher Mason and Team Dinowarrior: Y4! A wilder version of T-Minus, it€™s got 5mm titanium armour, which isn€™t too bad, and is invertible, though with slightly exposed wheels. Its main feature is the flipping arm which can send 300kg bots onto their backs no problem, and can right Y4 in a stylish way. However, with its batteries and motors set at 12v, it€™s not going to be very pushy.

Representing Martijn Benschop and Team Varying Every Day: Liar! No, not the new one. 8mm titanium armour give it more protection than its opponent, and like its opponent it has a hugely powerful flipper (1000psi) capable of tossing robots its size many meters in the air! It may not have much pushing power but at 24v, its S28s will be pushy enough. The side wedges on the flipper help to aid in getting under opponents when spinning around, but they won€™t damage the opponent.

Roboteers, stand by...

ACTIVATE!!!

The Challenge Belt kick-off is underway! Liar approaches first and speeds into Y4, who greets him with the flipper blade. WHAM! Both cancel out, and it looks like Liar is the slightly more powerful here, as he€™s currently pushing Y4 away towards the arena wall! Y4 backs off, but Liar persists, and both clearance confront each other again...and it€™s Y4 winning the duel! FLIP! Liar is flicked, and tipped over. FLIP! Liar rights himself, but right back onto Y4€™s arm! Y4 heads to the arena wall! FLIP! It€™s Liar who activates his flipper first, and throws himself backwards, but that only sends him directly onto the flipper blade of Y4 and...NO! Y4 tosses him along the wall! Martijn breathes a deep sigh of relief and directs Liar back over to Y4 and they meet again! Liar prevails! FLIP! Y4 is tossed over. This only means he can€™t use the flipper, and Y4 gets away before Liar can catch him...not long, however, before Liar is able to catch him! Liar smacks him with the wedge, but Y4 is away again before Liar can flip...can Liar use the flipper? Y4 activates the flipper and a beautiful 540 is performed, just as Liar gets to his spot - FLIP! Oh! So he can use the flipper, he was just waiting for his moment! Martijn grins as Y4 goes soaring into the arena wall, back onto his back. Y4 rights himself in the blink of an eye however, popping straight back over this time, and is able to get away before Liar can get in for another devastating toss. Chris is quite determined, showing in his face as he works the controlls for Y4, who charges into Liar once more! Liar veers of course slightly and goes for a wedge thwack to Y4. Bad idea! Y4 slides under the front of the right side wedge and FLIP! Liar is over again...FLIP! And righted again! Y4 is right there however, and before Liar can recover, he€™s over again! (FLIP!) Y4 charges into Liar again and carries him to the arena wall, but Liar pops up again (FLIP!) righting himself and Y4 nearly smacks his snout into the arena wall! Liar turns and flicks into Y4€™s side! FLIP! Y4 now has his turn of being inverted! Liar charges in and gets another flip in, tossing Y4 in a perfect 360! Y4 blows this scene and runs away, activating the flipper as he does so, thus righting himself, but Liar crashes into him and FLIP! WHOA! Y4 goes sailing...OVER THE WALL!!!

CEASE!
