Tension builds as the bots are weighed in. |
|
|
Then the battle begins. Greg's bot is virtually identical to last year's. |
|
The battle is joined. The problem with this flipper was too much weight toward the front of the bot. |
|
|
Though the flipper was nasty and had good ramps on the side Greg was finally able to push it off the board. |
|
|
This bot had saw blades as wheels. It was fast and had good traction. |
|
|
It went against this "better mousetrap." The flipper was a real mousetrap with brass ramps attached. |
|
|
When the two met the trap went off but the mouse proved to be too heavy to flip. |
|
|
There were a number of tracked bots this time. While they had power, traction and were almost impossible to push around, in the end they lost out to Greg's superior driving skills. |
|
|
The other bots did get their revenge on Greg when they ganged up and pushed him out. |
|
|
Then it is Get Tough's turn. Pre-battle plans are laid. |
|
|
Get Tough plows into Drywall with his ramp. |
|
|
While Drywall gets in a few licks he is quickly pushed off the table. |
|
|
Quick repairs are made to Drywall. Notice the bent "L" brackets. |
|
|
This is how they got bent. Drywall was spinning at twice the speed he had at CapriCon and really chewed into the newly added protective aluminum "L" channel - as well as the rest of Get Tough. |
|
|
But Get Tough got his licks in too though neither bot got through the other's armor. |
|
|
After defeating Drywall a few of the 2 pounders were suicidal enough to take on Get Tough. The pieces flew a good long way... |
