Spin

## Overview

This is a stock Viper kit made to promote the Horizontal spinner add on.

#### Spin vs Navlaan (1)

(For this fight, Spin was entered into the arena upside-down in order to hit higher with its undercutting blade.)

As the fight began Navlaan left its starting square slowly while Spin got spun up. Both bots advanced to the center of the arena, where the two robots collided, with Spin's blade proving able to hit above the spiked wedge of Navlaan. Navlaan backed away and into the blue hazard. Shortly after this, one of its drive wheels became loose and it began to drive even slower. Spin moved in for the kill, grazing Navlaan as Navlaan drove into the hazard again. Navlaan retreated with Spin following, throwing sparks and slicing away with its blade. Another hit sent Navlaan's front left wheel entirely off of the robot. Navlaan continued to move back and forth with Spin grinding away at its wounded opponent. Navlaan backed away after a big hit, trying to keep pointed at Spin unsuccessfully, as Spin got around the side of Navlaan again and took more shots at its side. Another hit sent what appeared to be a nut off of Navlaan, and it was barely moving. It seemed to be over for Navlaan, as it could barely move while Spin circled around, cutting at all of its sides as Navlaan limped along. Suddenly, Spin got a much larger bite than its driver had anticipated, sending Spin rocketing away into the open pushout, eliminating Spin in dramatic fashion.

#### Spin vs Navlaan (2)

(Navlaan was modified between these fights into a six-wheeled robot and Spin once again started upside-down as in their first fight.)

With a different driver at the helm, Navlaan charged out of its starting square as Spin got spun up, with Navlaan barely missing Spin and hitting the wall next to spin, but correcting quickly and going head on with Spin, ramming it into the wall. This impact knocked Spin's blade off entirely, and Navlaan continued the aggression, getting underneath Spin and carrying it around the box, swinging around as Spin was unable to do anything. Eventually Spin was knocked off, and tried to move away, but Navlaan caught it again, carrying it around the box briefly before both robots seperated and collided with the red hazard. Spin attacked Navlaan and was slammed into the wall, fortuitously flipping Spin onto its normal side, allowing it to utilize its wedge. However, Navlaan's hinged wedge proved more effective, as it got under Spin again and slammed it into the red hazard. However, the impact of the charge also sent Navlaan into the hazard, and the impact flipped Navlaan over onto its back. The modifications to Navlaan had made it no longer invertible, and it was counted out, giving Spin the win.

#### Spin vs Tiger Shark

Both robots zig-zagged out of their starting square, getting their weapons up to speed. The two met in the arena center, the impact of their spinning weapons sending both bots flying, Spin nearly flipping over and Tiger Shark being flung into the red hazard, which tossed it into the air over top of Spin and into the opposite corner of the arena. This massive hit knocked out Tiger Shark altogether, and it was promptly counted out.

#### Spin vs Rainbow Barf

As soon as the match began, Spin got up to speed as Rainbow Barf veered slowly to the left, running into the edge of the arena wall next to the pit. As Spin approached, running into the red hazard, Rainbow Barf tried to back up but instead spun itself into the open pit, eliminating it from the tournament.

#### Spin vs Dizzy Demise

(Dizzy Demise started the match facing backwards)

When the fight started, Spin spun up its blade and went after Dizzy Demise, who seemed to be having control troubles and wasn't leaving its starting square nor spinning up its weapon. Spin also seemed to be having trouble with its weapon, as it wasn't getting up to top speed, and the two traded pushes and nudges for the first minute, with Spin only occasionally getting its weapon going and doing no damage with it to Dizzy Demise. Dizzy Demise continued to hit its opponent with its apparently non-functional bar and using the back of the robot to jam Spin's weapon. Eventually the two locked horns in the arena center, with both pushing one another back and forth in turn. The two were stuck together it seemed, and so were separated and the match resumed. Spin got its weapon spun up and struck. Whether due to the pushing or this weapon strike, Dizzy Demise was completely immobilized and counted out, giving the win to Spin by knockout.

#### Spin vs Chopper

(Its next fight would have been against Chop, but in order to repair Spin after its fight with Dizzy Demise, parts were taken from Chop. As a result, Chop forfeit, giving Spin the win by default.)

Spin lost this fight and was eliminated from the tournament.

### Kilobots XL

#### Spin vs GoldRush

The two robots revved their weapons up to top speed and approached. Spin's wedge was riding funny, so the robot was having control problems, giving GoldRush the advantage as it went after Spin's sides. Spin landed a few blows to GoldRush's weapon supports, but eventually Spin's weapon was knocked loose from its motor, disabling it. In the end, Spin lost, dropping into the loser's bracket.

#### Spin vs Cupcake

Cupcake was suffering drive issues in this fight, and eventually Spin's horizontal blade sliced through Cupcake's exposed power wire, knocking it out and giving Spin the win.

#### Spin vs Chop

Chop defeated Spin, eliminating Spin from the tournament.
