The Watcher goes over to MSSD and checks things out. Apparently he doesnt like the look of things, and gives MSSD a nudge. Nothing happens...and theres an attack on Biohazards rear again! Anyway Biohazard tackles Ringwraith, and raises the arm but that does nothing, only lifting the drumbot slightly into the air and Ringwraith lands perfectly balanced on its two wheels, and spins the drum up again. MSSD charges again valiantly, but Ringwraith rolls one wheel over the undamaged left side and spins around: hes got an open hit on MSSDs side! Steve tries to move MSSD away, but not in time, Im afraid. and the timer comes on again! Ringwraith spins down the drum, his job done, as Obelix gets his bearings back, and hammers MSSD once just for good measure, before dumping it down the hole. , its powered by two LEM200s and has a hinged wedge in front to get under and ram to death. It only goes at 15mph, though, but it has enormous control and manoeuvrability because of that. 6mm hardox monocoque and invertibility tell the rest of the tale. , and ForcePower is taking advantage of is! Asterix tries to turn away, but its vain, and as they reach the edge Asterix topples onto the tires, off the tires, and onto his back, out of the ring. He spins around in anger.
Starstorm sees its chance, and as Axe-O-Lotl rights itself again, Starstorm flies directly underneath and pops Axe-O-Lotl€™s underbelly with the dome, sending it flying over onto its back once more, and right in the direction of Sauron! The spinner wastes no time and tears a path of desdtruction towards its target. Axe-O-Lotl waits...and waits...and Starstorm starts shoving it directly at Sauron! Axe-O-Lotl fires the axe and rights itself directly on top of Sauron, stopping its spinning speed, but the edges inside the translational cylinder (wait, not cylinder, er...torus? ) catch the wheels and bank Axe-O-Lotl off of Sauron and away. Starstorm tackles Sauron again and slides underneath with the lnear skirts. FLIP! Sauron goes over again, righted, but Starstorm has already turned back towards Axe-O-Lotl, who€™s coming right after him! He stops just short of the dome and gives it a good WHACK with the axe, however it catches one of the holes and so no damage is really done to the armour of Starstorm, but Axe-O-Lotl backs off before Starstorm can retaliate. Sauron heads over towards one of the CPZ to try and cut Axe-O-Lotl off but Chris, seeing this, reverses, just away from an incoming Starstorm and gives Frank€™s bot another good WHACK with the axe, this time directly hitting the top and giving it a miniscule dent. Starstorm flies underneath Axe-O-Lotl before the latter can get out of danger and FLIP! Axe-O-Lotl flies up, and the rear of the underside bangs into Starstorm€™s uplifted dome, thus falling onto its rear end, but a little push from Starstorm sends it over. Axe-O-Lotl tries to right itself without further interference but Starstorm is persistant and pushes it into an empty CPZ. Ooh, Exa-Gore-Ic flies out of his CPZ but is blocked by Sauron! And there€™s our €˜newcomer€™ house robot, Ivy-X, with those lovely spinning chains. Axe-O-Lotl fires the axe but Starstorm is at him immediately. FLIP! Axe-O-Lotl is pushed up against the arena wall, but falls back down onto Starstorm€™s lid. Sauron decides to get out of the way, and does so as Exa-Gore-Ic trundles past. FLIP! Axe-O-Lotl is popped up again, and the top is pushed up against an angle grinder, but leaning against it throws the axe out, balancing itself off the wall and back onto its wheels, but unfortunately Ivy is right there with the chains! Dantomkia spins around, knocking some barrels away (and another down the pit ) and heads for the ramp! Oh, hes over it, well done, another 20 points added, and AHH! Hes flipped Obelix Bulguous and toppled him away! Hits the 75 point button, he does! Very good run so far, but now Asterix is after him, hell have to be careful here, and he backs...all the way into the multiball release, good, another 10 points for that. Oh! Now hes taking on Taki-san and a 50 point marker! Nope, drives straight onto the wedge aaaaaand...flipped over. Asterix shoves him into the wall, and pins him there to stop him self-righting, whilst Taki inserts the cutting blade in. But unfortunately for Dantomkia time is up. 
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. The disc travels at 1600rpm and is SERIOUSLY powerful. In reality, though, hes got NO armour, only a (very sturdy) chassis, and he doesnt look that balanced despite being flipped only once.
