**Odyssey** was an antweight created by Oliver Steeples and is the very first champion of the Antweight World Series. Odyssey is one of the most famous and successful robots in the competition, being one of the oldest robots before its retirement in AWS 24, due to Oliver believing it to be "outdated". Odyssey had managed to become champion in the first, eighth and seventeenth Antweight World Series and had gone through major changes over the years, starting off as a tracked robot before converting to a more compact scooped robot with a rear "tail".

Odyssey was named after Greek epic, Homer's Odyssey.

## Robot History

### AWS 1

    In the first fight, Odyssey faced Tyrant. As the two met in the centre, Odyssey attempted to use its flipping scoop to overturn Tyrant, but the wedge robot failed to turn over, instead falling back down and wedging itself under Odyssey. Tyrant attempted to push Odyssey out of the arena but it managed to drive away just in time. They turned to face each other once again, this time Odyssey attempted to lift Tyrant over once again but failed to do so at first. A second flip managed to over turn Tyrant where it was unable to self right.

In the second battle, Odyssey faced Pants. The battle was short lived as the two quickly engaged with Pants hammering with the axe and Odyssey turning to get a side on attack. Odyssey attempted to flip Pants over but instead proceeded to shove Pants off the arena.

In the third battle, Odyssey faced Cannon Fodder. Both robots were able to navigate across the obstacles to meet. Although Cannon Fodder's weapon spun and hit Odyssey, Odyssey had Cannon Fodder against a metal plate and simply chucking it on its back in quick succession.

In the fourth battle, Odyssey faced Dozer. Both machines had a sluggish start but soon Odyssey had the first attack flipping Dozer. Dozer turned and reversed into Odyssey with its spikes but this does not help as Odyssey flips it once again and pressures it against the corner. They both turned to face each other once again which allowed Odyssey to get its scoop under and lift Dozer upwards and pushed it across the arena and off of the platform.

In the fifth battle, Odyssey faced Type-0. In an effort to allow for a fairer competition, Odyssey sat back and waited for Type-0 to make its way across the arena. At first Type-0 attempted to walk up the ramp, but failed to do so, it then turned and walk across the side where Odyssey came out and attempted to flip it. Odyssey, swarmed Type-0 as it flicked away with its scoop. Odyssey then shunted Type-0 about before pushing it off the side.

Odyssey also fought in some of the side events. The first was a grumble against all other competitors, save for Type-0 where they all lost to Dozer.

In the second Grumble, it was paired with Tyrant and faced Pants and Cannon Fodder where they won.

In the third Grumble, Odyssey fought a three way team in Tyrant, Pants and Cannon Fodder. The fight was over before it began as Odyssey mistimed a flip and was toppled carefully on its back by the other three robots. Unable to self right, the trio swarmed Odyssey and slowly pushed it further towards the edge. Pants axed away at Odyssey and one of the tracks came off by an attack from Cannon Fodder. Slowly, Odyssey was pushed off the edge.

Odyssey fought in a series of Mad Melees against the other competitors, it lost all but two of the melee which it had drew.

Odyssey also fought in the Football against Pants and Cannon Fodder where it drew with all the others.

In the second round, Odyssey faced the familiar War Ant and Ant-Lion. It started on the latter, shoving it into an arena-tire, and War Ant finished off Ant-Lion right after, so Odyssey qualified alongside War Ant.

In the third round, Odyssey faced familiar face Militant. Militant cuts into Odyssey's ramp and gets stuck, with Odyssey trying to lift it, but only flips itself. They separate though, and Militant tears another hole in Odyssey, then manages to flip it over. Militant also damages the lifter where it holds Odyssey's wheels off the ground, so it loses.

Odyssey first fought in the European Championship against Resurrected, Void and Antlifter. It was attacked by Void who scoops Odyssey and shoves it into Antlifter, then flips Odyssey onto its flank, leaving it there, but Resurrected knocks it over while grabbing it. Odyssey tries to self-right, and with help from Antlifter ends up on its side again, and returns on its back, where Void pushes it into the trench, where it was eliminated.

In the first round of the main championship, Odyssey faced OB1 and old foe Electra. It barely got to do anything as OB1 shoved Electra off the arena, so it qualified alongside OB1.

Transparant attempted to circle around Red Eye but the flipperbot got around and soon toppled Transparant over making it the only robot left standing. Odyssey and Transparant qualified as Vacuum was immobilized first.

Next was again Ramsy and familiar face Electra. Ramsy seemed to be having issues as it was sluggishly spinning in circles which allowed Odyssey to attempt to take advantage. However, Electra got behind and flipped away at Odyssey, but struggling to fully KO it.

In the second leg, Odyssey faced Sub where it lost.

Odyssey then competed in the tag team with R.O.N.N.Y., and they faced Odyssey's old enemy Chicken and Eggman.

Here The Killer Sandwich From Mars! managed to lift Odyssey against the side wall where it eventually toppled out, where it lost once again.

Odyssey then helps its teammate and lifts Antipathy, before going back for Fast Dalek again and flips it again. Odyssey then flicks Fast Dalek out the arena, then does the same to Antipathy, rendering itself and Pants the winners.

Next were Dynamite (again) and Merge. Odyssey started with the former and immediately chucks Dynamite out the arena, getting revenge for last year. It also flicks Merge, but hung back until Pants fell off the arena. Odyssey flips Merge upside-down, then over the wall, getting itself and Pants their third win.

Now Chronotrigger and The Pin stood in the way. Odyssey goes for the former and flips it, Chronotrigger self-rights but Odyssey pins it to the wall and flips it out.
