It might be the slowest at 11mph, but its invertibility will help it fight flippers. Its cage armour of 3mm titanium mesh and 8mm fibre glass is mostly sacrificial, with the main weapon jutting through. This main weapon is none other than a 62kJ producing vertical disc! Its got a S28-400 powering it, but the teeth are aligned diagonally so opponents can get flipped in a different way. More S28-400s power the drive...but its slow to accelerate, and with low traction, its not pushing anyone around. ...and then theres Panda-Mick, who makes Infusion look like a...barbequed shrimp. Its...house robot weight (500kg ), whatever that means...wait, forget what I just said. A front forklift will lift robots, and a rear spinning disc will destroy them. Quite simple, innit. Oh, and lets not forget our lovely arena. The entire cage is almost completely pulled away as BIACS-LE is flung across the arena, the armour flailing and hanging on in only a few places. Topsy Turvy sees its chance to attack and screams after the amazingly but still largely functional BIACS-LE, who barrels out of the way...of course that doesnt stop its CAGE from getting hit, but instead of a huge CRASH, bits of fibreglass are strewn across the arena! Death Threat has ignored that for now and is persistently on Wedge Devos case, again a rear attack proving near-fatal for Wedge Devo, but it gets away before the claws can close down. Its prey on the run, Death Threat abandons it for now and turns to see BIACS-LE, rather armourless, hurtling towards him. Topsy Turvy tackles him from the behind and stops the disc...which doesnt appear to be spinning...and Wedge Devo bursts in, tossing Death Threat over onto BIACS-LE. That front plate of Wedge Devos flipper is really helping against these skirts. Topsy Turvy appears to be trying to push BIACS-LE onto Wedge Devos flipper...and Death Threat falls off completely. Seeing danger near, Wedge Devo turns its attentions to Death Threat who charges in at the wrong time, and gets wedged...and drives over Wedge Devo. However its now beached on Wedge Devos rear, and a grinning Steve reverses his machine into...the Disc of Death! Death Threats top armour takes a pounding, thankfully the tracks were missed but the 5mm Hardox top is dented quite a bit. Wedge Devo turns slightly, and Death Threat falls off the wedge, as Topsy Turvy shunts BIACS-LE right into him. Its not for certain whether Mattys machine is mobile or not, but hes pegged in there so its hard to tell. Wedge Devo backs into Death Threat and starts to push Death Threat, BIACS-LE, AND Topsy Turvy all towards one of the empty CPZs, but one of the kill saws decides to intervene! BZZT! Its Wedge Devo, actually, who takes the hit and sends the McGregor machine flying backwards. This allows Topsy Turvy to break away and finally get up to spinning speed, and BIACS-LE...is still mobile. In fact very much, though the cage is now completely gone, and the chassis horribly exposed. Death Threat turns, shuinting BIACS-LE in front of him, and starts pushing it across the arena. And...uh oh! The middle of the floor is opening, and that means...its Death Egg time! The gigantic spinning hazard rises from the floor, spinning wildly already and narrowly slashing Wedge Devo as it moves around the dome. BIACS-LE meanwhile is being pushed around the Egg itself and finally back into Panda-Micks CPZ. However Topsy Turvy had been following the pair and as Wedge Devo himself catches up to him, smashes Death Threat across the back!
go on Aaron, do your worst )
