I love finding loopholes, mainly sneaking in my old laptop

I apology in advance for the [banned] of the battles, I wanted to get them out of the way and kept getting disturbed by the bloody phone.

The May Tracks Has You vs. Nitro-Gene 4.0

Right, it€™s been a while, but the person I share my office with has disappeared to play with tanks, so it is time for the next fight

Previously it was going to be Slammer against 6isc, but I decided to do this fight first.

The first robot into the fully repaired arena is Nitro-Gene 4.0, this box on wheels with a wedge and angled sides has been around for a while, the flipper is still nitrogen and it has 4 wheels powered by 4 motors. The armour is tough, but the weakness is with the nitrogen powered flipper, as unlike Carbon dioxide, nitrogen is unpredictable and losses pressure quickly, so if Nitro-Gene enters into a long flipper match, the gas will run out faster than with CO2. Nitro-Gene is fast across the arena.

The 2nd robot into the arena is the current champion of the killer toad, winning both series 2 and series 3, nothing has gotten underneath Frank€™s flipper machine, designed to get under, push to edge and flip out. It runs on tracks, yet it is only 100kg, proof that tracked machines don€™t need an extra 10kg to be on a level playing field. It is a box with a wedge at the front, with some spikes on the front wedge to stop robots from driving off once May Tracks is under, unless you want to say goodbye to your tyres.

Both robots are in the arena, as the battle cry is sounded.

And it is a slow start from the 2 flipper machines, as both Frank and Paul slowly drive forward, not wanting to risk a full head-on collision, owing that the battle will be decided on whoever gets underneath the other robot first to flip them out of the arena, as Nitro-Gene puts down it€™s power, the wheels spinning the power away as it lacks the weight over the wheels, but it overcomes and speeds off towards May Tracks.

Frank holds his nerve and doesn€™t dodge the attack, as Nitro-Gene ploughs straight into the front of May-Tracks, as it is wedge on wedge action as the floor hugging wedge extension plate of May Tracks breaks underneath the 42 degree wedge of Nitro-Gene as May Tracks slips underneath Nitro-Gene, and within a instant scratch card the flipper fires sending Nitro-Gene onto it€™s back. Paul makes a run for it, as May Tracks gives chase, dodging out of the way, unable to flip itself back onto it€™s base as doing so would create an opening large enough for the titanic to sail though.

May Tracks keeps on top of Nitro-Gene, the extra 2 mph isn€™t enough to break out a lead, as Nitro-Gene dodges the open pit, as May Tracks keeps on top of it. The running away and dodging carries on for another 2 minutes, until Paul thinks it is now or never to try and get some points on the board, as running away can not be doing any good, as it fires the flipper sending Nitro-Gene into a stylist turn in the air, as May Tracks pauses, watching as Nitro-Gene in style self-rights into the pit.

Cease

A lovely self-righting flying action from Nitro-Gene, but unlucky to land in the pit, as May Tracks looks upset that Frank didn€™t put some points on the board by taking out a target.

Next up:
Slammer vs. The 6isc.
