Mint-flavoured Tictacs:
Paul has in his control a very well-designed machine, and theres no way 1 tonne of crush will come close to breaching a 5mm hardox monocoque shell, or 6mm flipper arm for that matter. I am as surprised as Paul that my machine has come this far, but hopefully it can go that extra yard and claim the victory!
Nitro-Gene will be able to outpush me in a head-on joust, 4WD LEM-powered drive vs 2WD Bosch motor drive - heck, I wouldnt even bet on me winning that one. But Pauls traction and pushing power is only effective when the wheels are in contact with the ground![]()
If I can somehow get a grip on Nitro-Genes chassis, the chances are itll have ridden up my little front wedge in the process, breaking its traction with the arena floor. All I then need to do is to make sure I hold on to Nitro-Gene and drag him, via a certain button, to the pit of oblivion. All of this I will aim to do as quickly as possible. For a final fight it may not look pretty but its the win that matters - putting on a show only comes second![]()
Best of luck Paul, and may the best robot win!
