### MakerBattle 2023 - Round 1

In the first round, Luma's Plow 1 was drawn up against the 4WD undercutter of Trasgo.

The fight started with Trasgo spinning up and both bots dancing around each other until Luma's Plow 1 slammed Trasgo into the wall. The two exchanged weapon to wedge shots for the entire match until Trasgo managed to tear off one of Luma's Plow's wheels. Luma's plow 1 was unaffected and managed to flip Trasgo over. With Luma's plow 1 maintaining control of the match until the end, the fight went to a judges decision where Trasgo won, demoting Luma's plow 1 to the losers bracket where it would fight the 2WD thwacker, PotBot.

The fight started with Luma's Plow 1 charging across the arena and slamming PotBot into the wall several times. After this initial onslaught, PotBot was dead in the water and was counted out, giving the win to Luma's Plow 1 who would fight Uprising next.

Uprising took too much damage from its fight with MiniStinger and forfeit, sending Luma's Plow 1 through to the next round where it would fight the infamous Mini Mulcher.

The fight started with Mini Mulcher spinning up and a box rush from Luma's Plow 1 sending Mini Mulcher pinballing around the arena. Mini Mulcher then freed Luma's Plow 1 from the wall and clogged a side of drive while at it. Luma's Plow 1 kept crabwalking at Mini Mulcher and deflected several shots from the shuriken blade. Eventually, Mini Mulcher lost its weapon and Luma's Plow 1 started pushing it around the arena, asserting dominance until the closing bell. The fight went to a judges decision where the win went to Luma's Plow 1 who would go on to fight a Viper kit, Eggtimus Prime.

Eggtimus Prime suffered too much damage from prior fights and had to forfeit, sending Luma's Plow 1 through to the next round where it would fight Trasgo again in the loser's semifinal.

The rematch played out mostly the same way as the previous fight with Luma's Plow 1 not giving Trasgo an inch. The main difference in this fight was that Trasgo was flipped much earlier into the fight and was never able to buzz off any of Luma's Plow's wheels. The fight went to a judges decision where Luma's plow 1 would avenge its Round 1 loss. Luma's Plow 1 was now on the podium and had to face FireArrow v4 for a shot at the title.

In preparation for this match, Luma's Plow 1 ditched the wedge that served it well this far into the tournament and equipped its wolverine claws that carried it to 4th place at Bayside to combat FireArrow, who would no doubt be doing the same. The fight started with both bots scrambling for position before locking horns in a shoving match. Luma's Plow 1 disengaged and looped around behind FireArrow v4 and slammed it forks first into the corner. When Luma's Plow 1 broke the pin, FireArrow v4 came out a little disoriented and Luma's Plow 1 punished this by coming in from behind and carrying it across the arena and ramming it forks first into the opposite corner. This continued for the entire fight with varying degrees of effectiveness as FireArrow v4 adapted to Luma's Plow 1's smothering driving style. FireArrow v4 was able to mount a counterattack, but it was too little too late as the fight went to the judges who sent Luma's Plow 1 through to the grand final against Hammer Head.

In preparation for this fight, Luma's Plow 1 puts its trademark wedge back on and topped off its battery. The fight started with Hammer Head spinning up and a box rush from Luma's Plow 1. Hammer Head proved to be a slippery foe, but Luma's Plow 1 remained as aggressive as ever and charged headlong into the danger zone and landing several successful rams. Luma's Plow then rammed Hammer head into the corner and flipped it over. With one minute to go, neither robot was letting up as Luma's Plow 1 succeeded in driving Hammer Head into the corner again. Both bots then jostled for position until Luma's Plow 1 managed to slam Hemmer head into the corner. Hammer Head countered this by delivering a one-two punch that shredded one of Luma's Plow 1's wheels and killed that motor's gearbox, and flipped Luma's Plow 1 over. Luma's Plow 1 didn't care and continued to charge at Hammer Head despite the damage piling up.

With Luma's Plow 1 inverted, Hammer Head was able to land more decisive shots that threw Luma's Plow 1 away. Despite this, Luma's Plow 1 never gave up and charged at Hammer Head like there was nothing left in the world to do. The fight ended with Luma's Plow 1 landing a final push on Hammer Head as the fight went to the judges. After much deliberation, the win and 1st place went to Hammer Head.
