## Robot History

### Battle of the Youtubers

**Rusty vs Mantis vs Nuts**

The fight started with Rusty attempting a box rush and Nuts spinning up. Mantis wasn't moving and was pushed into the CPZ and lifted by Rusty before being attacked by Matilda. Rusty slammed Nuts into the wall and was then flipped by the floor flipper which also caught Matilda shortly after. Nuts was then bullied by Rusty into the bottom right CPZ. Rusty then went after Matilda but was caught by the floor flipper again. The Drop Zone was activated by Nuts which sent a roll of red electrical tape into the arena. Eventually, Rusty activated the pit and Mantis was long gone at this point. Rusty pushed Nuts into the bottom left CPZ where the pit is and Matilda came in and Nuts drove into the pit (probably to avoid Matilda). The fight was over but "cease" wasn't called and Rusty went after Matilda who righted Rusty with her flywheel. Rusty then pushed Matilda into the pit. Rusty advanced to the heat semifinals while Mantis and Nuts were sent to the robot rampage.

**Iron Awe vs Terrorhurtz vs Nexus**

The fight started with Terrorhurtz and Nexus meeting in the middle before Nexus flipped Iron Awe. Nexus flipped Terrorhurtz soon after. Nexus freed Terrorhurtz from the wall as Matilda was bullying Iron Awe's remains. Nexus pushed Terrorhurtz into the top right CPZ so Matilda could deal with it, but Terrorhurtz was caught by the floor flipper which sent it to the center of the arena. Nexus didn't like that and flipped Terrorhurtz again. Nexus then flipped Matilda because she was in its way of the pit release tire. Nexus then activated the pit, but it didn't need to because it was the only robot still moving. Nexus moved on to the heat semifinals while Terrorhurtz and Iron Awe were sent to the robot rampage.

   **Jester vs Mongus vs Razzor**

The fight started with Mongus charging into Jester before it could spin up. Mongus flipped both robots around and Jester pitted itself. Mongus then flipped Razzor into the bottom right CPZ. Matilda then righted Razzor before being flipped by Mongus. Razzor didn't last long though as it was flipped on to its back by Mongus shortly after it KOed Matilda. Mongus moved on to the heat semifinal while Jester and Razzor were sent to the robot rampage.

**Nuts vs Mongus**

The fight started with Nuts stumbling into Matilda's CPZ. Matilda was then flipped by the floor flipper as she was trying to go after Nuts. Matilda remained where she was throughout the rest of the fight. Nuts was flipped into the pit by Mongus. Mongus claimed third place in Antweight Anarchy: Battle of the Youtubers.

**Rusty vs Nexus**

The fight started with both robots charging at each other and getting their bearings in the arena. When Nexus got its first flip on Rusty, the little tag of Votesaxon07 was taken off by Rusty. Nexus and Rusty put on a good duel and only in the end, Matilda then came out to attack Nexus but was then flipped and pushed into the pit. Nexus was now the champion of Antweight Anarchy: Battle of the Youtubers.

### Battle of the Builders

**Hypno-Disc vs Thor**

The fight started with Thor getting stuck on the arena trap after an attempted box rush (terrible driving) and Hypno-Disc spinning up. Matilda then set Thor free before it was slammed by Hypno-Disc. Thor then drove on to the floor flipper in an attempt to escape Hypno-Disc which allowed the latter to attack Thor. Thor then made another driving error and went into the bottom right CPZ which allowed Matilda to attack Thor and Thor started getting squeezed by Hypno-Disc and Matilda. After Thor escaped, it got stuck on the trap **again** and was targeted by Hypno-Disc. Later, Hypno-Disc stayed in the bottom right corner too long and activated the drop zone which dropped a tall can into the arena which Hypno-Disc and Matilda then attacked, much to Stephen's confusion. In the confusion, Hypno-Disc pushed Thor on to the trap again. Thor was picked on by Matilda and then placed on the receiving end of a one-two punch by Matilda and Hypno-Disc which threw it across the arena. Thor then activated the pit and was targeted by Matilda again despite not being in a CPZ. Matilda was then flipped by the floor flipper. Thor was counted out, giving Hypno-Disc the win by KO.

Score: 1-0 twopennymilk

**Razzor vs Carbide**

The fight started with a box rush from Razzor and Carbide spinning up. Razzor was then disoriented and reversed into Matilda's CPZ where it was bullied by the house robot. Carbide was then stuck on the lip of the closed pit. Matilda then freed Carbide who then drove on the floor flipper and was thrown across the arena. At this point, both Carbide and Razzor were having drive issues, and Matilda came in because they were in a CPZ. The Drop Zone was activated which sent a bag of nuts and bolts into the arena. Matilda then activated the pit out of boredom. Razzor then drove onto the floor flipper and was sent flying. Carbide then backed into Razzor with its wedge after recovering from attacking Matilda, and that was enough to make Razzor drive into the pit.

Score: 1-1

**Predator vs Tough as Nails**

The fight started with both robots charging at each other and getting their bearings. Tough as Nails then reversed onto the trap where Matilda then tried to flip TAN. After that, Tough as Nails drove over to the Drop Zone CPZ and just waited there, and then a bag of nuts and bolts dropped into the arena and missed TAN entirely. Matilda came in and tried to flip TAN again but failed. Eventually, TAN grabbed onto Matilda and didn't let go. The Drop Zone was triggered again and this time, an empty soda can landed on top of Matilda. The fight stayed in the Drop Zone CPZ and the Drop Zone was triggered a 3rd time, sending a roll of electrical tape into the arena. Predator then nudged TAN to check if it was alive, but TAN was counted out and then thrown into the pit by Matilda. Predator was the winner.

Score: 2-1 twopennymilk

**Nuts vs Concussion**

The fight started with both bots spinning up and Concussion corralling Nuts towards Matilda. Concussion kept up that aggression the whole fight, even triggering the drop zone once, but it seemed like it was all for naught when Concussion got stuck on the arena trap until Nuts threw itself out of the arena via the floor flipper.

Score: 2-2

**Sting vs Nuts**

The fight started with both bots spinning up and being thrown by the floor flipper which caused Nuts' frame to break. The rest of the fight was Sting doing what it does best and Matilda being bored to death. Eventually, Matilda opened the pit and Sting slapped Nuts in.

Score: 3-2 twopennymilk

**Tungsten vs Tánshè**

The fight started with both bots jostling for position before triggering the drop zone during a shoving match which dropped a bag of nuts and bolts into the arena. After another shoving match, Tungsten ended up on the floor flipper and flipped. Tánshè then attempted to lift Matilda in an escape attempt. Matilda then pushed Tungsten onto the floor flipper again which righted it. Tánshè was then bullied onto the floor flipper which flipped it over. Tánshè couldn't self right and was counted out, giving the win to Tungsten. However, Matilda wanted more and pushed Tánshè into the drop zone which missed entirely the first time (empty Monster Energy can) and righted Tánshè the second time (tennis ball) and hitting Matilda as well. The drop zone was triggered again (a tape roll) and missed as the two competitors engaged in a shoving match. Matilda then abused Tánshè as Tungsten dropped a wheel over the pit. Tánshè then pushed Tungsten in to save face with Matilda pushing Tánshè in soon after.

Final score: 4-2 twopennymilk

### Mega rumble

(This is basically its own thing.)

The fight started with everyone spinning up and going crazy as Carbide and the floor flipper threw Carbide and clusters of robots formed in the CPZs. Matilda then backed into Nexus as it was trying to break one of the clusters only to be axed by Terrorhurtz. Nexus then flipped Matilda (who rolled over back on her wheels), Concussion, and Tánshè in quick succession before flipping itself while going after Terrorhurtz while Carbide was using the floor flipper to right itself. Nexus then self righted and flipped Impulse. Hypno-Disc then went after Nexus only to be tossed back. Hypno-Disc put up a fight against Nexus which Matilda soon joined only to be flipped by an escaping Nexus. Nexus then went on a flipping rampage before opening the pit with Thor. Nexus then flipped several more robots before flipping Carbide into the pit. Nexus then focused its efforts on Anthony's Nuts before flipping it into the pit with Concussion. Matilda was Nexus' next victim after she tried to disrupt Nexus' attempt to flip Impulse in. Matilda would sit and watch the fight ensue. Nexus managed to become the last robot in the arena.

### Hexbug Havoc

**Royal Pain vs Impulse**

The fight started with both bots firing up and Impulse tearing off a panel from Royal Pain before knocking off both its own panels. Matilda had no involvement besides her presence in this fight. Impulse then countered by tearing off Royal Pain's rear wedge and other panel. Royal Pain then got stuck and was counted out, giving the win to Impulse.

**Kaplah vs Launchpad**

The fight started with both bots charging at each other and Kaplah taking off a side panel. Launchpad retaliated with an unsuccessful flip attempt. Launchpad then botched another flip attempt before finally getting Kaplah over on the third try. Kaplah was counted out and the win went to Launchpad.

    **Launchpad vs Impulse**

The fight started with both bots charging at each other and Launchpad throwing its lifter stickers off and being flipped by Matilda. Launchpad self righted as Matilda tore off the battery cover and a wheel from Impulse. Impulse then managed to remove the other wheel. Impulse was counted out and powered down its spinner, but cease wasn't called yet. Launchpad got arrogant and tried to flip Matilda who responded by flipping Launchpad and gutting it (battery cover and wheels). To add insult to injury, Matilda then threw Impulse's corpse out of the arena. This fight goes to show that, just like Robot Wars, the House Robots always win (Author's note: Tell that to Nexus).

### International Inferno

**Sting vs Dantomkia**

The fight started with both bot getting their bearings and Sting spinning up. Dantomkia stopped Sting and slammed it into the wall. Dantomkia then activated the pit as Sting was recovering. Sting was cornered and Dantomkia flipped it only to be flipped by Matilda. Dantomkia tried to self right, but only got stuck in a position it couldn't escape from. Dantomkia was counted out and the win went to Sting.

**Jester vs Beecapitator**

The fight started with Beecapitator running away and Jester driving over the slightly open pit. Matilda then opened the pit, but Jester got away in time. Jester went over to Matilda's CPZ to try and attack her, but Beecapitator then drove itself down the pit and threw the fight. Jester then continued its attack on Martilda, but was thrown by the floor flipper and got its mace caught over the pit. Matilda then pushed Jester in and cease was called.

**Proxima Centauri vs Polaris**

The fight started with Polaris failing a flip attempt and Proxima Centauri opening the pit. Proxima Centauri then pushed Polaris over to the floor flipper where Polaris was flipped. Polaris then self righted and both bots started dancing around the pit. Proxima Centauri then got stuck over the pit and Polaris pushed it in.

**Air Strike vs Diotoir**

Diotoir and Air Strike begun the match by seemingly battling with their controls. Matilda decided to intercept and carelessly got flipped by the floor flipper, followed by Diotoir being tossed over by the flipper as well from a failed charge attempt. After a few nudges by Matilda and the countdown, Diotoir was deemed immobilised as it had no self-righting mechanism after an underwhelming 15 seconds. Notably, Diotoir and Air Strike has only hit each other once throughout the match.

**Tough as Nails vs TMHWK**

The fight started with TMHWK avoiding Tough as Nails from rushing into them. It then do a full arc to collide with the side barrier of the arena. It stopped moving for a short time and TAN seized the opportunity to grapple them with the claws. However, the control bot turned away and head towards Matilda. No surprise, it was flipped upright by the floor flipper twice. Comically, TMHWK that was able to regain mobility parked itself directly on top of the floor flipper which yield the same result. TMHWK landed smoothly while Matilda attacked Tough as Nails as it was right beside the floor flipper. TMHWK could not find a good hit to dish out with its axe once TAN fleed from Matilda. TMHWK, again, could not move and can only launch its axe forward. Matilda pushed it towards the mesh panel. The axebot could only keep striking the floor to no avail. Matilda lifted up TMHWK, revealing a wheel has been knocked off. The house robot continued to shove the barely moving bot onto the floor flipper. It was flung a great height and distance to the other corner of the arena and a bar on a window panel dropped down, perhaps the only highlight of the match. TMHWK was pitted forthwith by Matilda (probably due to its grudge) and Tough as Nails claimed the KO victory.

**Nexus vs Hit**

Hit took some time to adjust its movement and Nexus acted immediately with a small flip to start the match. They were scrambling around the arena grill that was beside Matilda. Hit was flipped again by Nexus. now, behind it. An effortless self-righting got Hit back on its wheels as Nexus bumped into Matilda. Matilda was beginning to retaliate so a great flip was delivered to Nexus by Hit when it tried to react. Remaining hostile but missing flips, both robots continued its ruthless battle and Hit managed to flip Nexus again successfully. Nexus pirouetted first, then, got itself right up. In response, Nexus got underneath Hit and drove the purple robot into the wall. Hit was able to escape the red robot and the floor flipper barely. Unfortunately, it was flipped out of the arena by Nexus immediately.

**Sting vs Jester**

Jester casually strolled away from Sting ramming itself into the wall. Sting continued to charge towards Jester but Jester got itself stuck between Matilda and the side of the pit release structure. Matilda prodded it off and Jester initiated its first attack onto Sting. The orange thwackbot seemed to have control issues while Sting was driving around and madly spinning. Jester was flipped over by the floor flipper twice once Sting activated the pit release. The two thwackbots collided and Jester managed to cause Sting's balance to falter onto its wheel. Sting immediately self-righted with its gyration. Jester continued to get flipped again by the floor flipper as it drove over. The orange thwackbot was unfazed by the rotation of Sting and knocked it onto the floor flipper to get thrown to the corner. Yet again, Jester drove straight towards the floor flipper and almost got flipped out of the arena. Both robots roamed around the arena until Jester got one of its wheel stuck on the side of the pit. Miraculously, Sting rushed into the pit. This blunder handed Jester the win.

**Air Strike vs Polaris**

The battle started with Air Strike charging at the wall and losing a panel after missing Polaris. Matilda did not contribute to the fight as her CPZ was not trespassed. Air Strike eventually drove onto the floor flipper after releasing the pit. Unluckily, this would just launch itself directly into the pit.

**Nexus vs Tough as Nails**

Both robots clashed with hasty box rushes, Tough as Nails tried to regain full control and some distance away from Nexus but it was flipped soon after. Nexus impulsively drove over the floor flipper to continue pursuit. Once Matilda intercepted, Nexus ploughed and toss them away. The red machine got another flip that effectively overturned Matilda onto its back as well as throwing Tough as Nails about. Eventually, Nexus flipped Tough as Nails out of the arena in the end after utterly brutalising it.

**Sting vs Tough as Nails vs Air Strike**

Matilda remained in her patrol zone without any disturbance in the entire fight. Sting was immobilised as it hit the tire and Air Strike reversed into the pit after the match. Tough as Nails advanced to the Semi Finals.

**Nexus vs Jester / Tough as Nails vs Polaris / Nexus vs Polaris**

Matilda did not seem to play a part in these three fights too. Nexus opened the pit and let Jester fall in. Polaris shoved Tough as Nails into the pit after a very quick match. In the final match, one of Nexus' OOTA attempts succeeded and Polaris was thrown out of the arena. Nexus was then declared the champion of Antweight Anarchy: International Inferno.

### Battle of the Builders 2

**Rusty vs Jester / Gigabyte vs Last Shot / Slap Happy vs Beecapitator**

In Rusty vs Jester, she had no involvement as Jester fled from Matilda's corner the moment he entered the CPZ.

In Gigabyte vs Last Shot, Matilda tried to prod Gigabyte but was struck away by the spinning shell.

In Slap Happy vs Beecapitator, Matilda went to check if both robots were still active after the first collision between the two. Both competitors were able to regain their mobility and fought on while Matilda activated the pit.

**Sting vs Riott**

After some time, Sting drove itself into Matilda. They both chased after each other until Riott got its wedge caught in gap of the pit, Matilda rushed in and pushed Riott off the pit. The spinner reversed back against Sting. The thwackbot seemed to have some driving difficulties as it curved itself into a corner wall while Riott activated the pit. Sting and Riott waited a bit before the thwackbot ran over the top of Riott and immediately rammed into it again once the spinner was facing sideways. They both were stuck in the middle until Matilda separated them, giving a flip to Sting.

**Glitterbomb vs Hijacker / Tough as Nails vs Son of Samedi**

She was not called upon nor intruded the quick match of Glitterbomb vs Hijacker.

In Tough as Nails vs Son of Samedi, Matilda rushed in to lift up the shell spinner, which separated the shell from the chassis.

### Battle of the Builders 3

**Top Bot vs Ragnarok**

Ragnarok and Top Bot had a vicious back and forth, leading to Matilda roaming to and around the chocked Top Bot later on. Since it was not getting out, it started winding down its weapon. Matilda only got closer to it before Ragnarok was finally able to pit Top Bot.

Score: twopennymilk 0 - 1 OrangeDoseOverJuice

**Nibble vs Megabyte**

As Megabyte was busy colliding with the walls and trying to spin up to full speed., Matilda rushed towards Megabyte. The shell spinner bot continued gaining some distance. Once it was able to get to full speed, it unleashed a flurry of hits onto Matilda, trapping her at the corner. Megabyte still had control issues while Nibble started tapping on the pit release tire. Megabyte had the chance to spin up and struck Nibble with its powerful spinning shell. Nibble started running away as Megabyte battled with Matilda in the corner. Nibble rushed towards Megabyte but got its jaws onto Matilda very briefly. Fortunately, Nibble was able to get under Megabyte with its tail wedge and pin it against the tire. They brought their less-than-stellar scuffle somewhere else and Megabyte became immobilised, giving Nibble the win.

Score: twopennymilk 1 - 1 OrangeDoseOverJuice

**Tornado vs Sabretooth**

After the Red Baron had its turn at patrolling in two battles, Matilda took the responsibility for this arduous fight. Tornado immediately went for a box rush but Sabretooth was able to evade. Both robots had their spinners met before Sabretooth beat Tornado in a contest of drive power, pinning it against the side gate. Matilda, with her tiny camera, rushed towards Tornado and missed her tusk flip on Tornado while Sabretooth was trying to close in on the red box machine. The Matilda Cam was knocked out of Matilda as she backed into the corner wall. Tornado and Sabretooth managed to avoid the CPZs while shoving each other and going for the pit release tire.

Sabretooth denied Tornado's pitting attempts until they wandered around. Tornado then got itself gored by Matilda's tusk before being flipped. The drum spinner continued ramming Tornado towards the wall but it escaped and barely avoided the pit and a chasing Matilda. Sabretooth appeared to be malfunctioning on one side but it was still able to opportunistically shove Tornado into the pit.

Score: twopennymilk 3 - 2 OrangeDoseOverJuice

**Draxus vs Free Shipping**

Draxus was able to control Free Shipping for most of the opening part. It shoved Free Shipping into the corner. In perfunctory manner, Matilda rushed towards the competitors and shoved Draxus from behind. Matilda missed a tusk flip as Draxus broke off Free Shipping's lifting arm. The cargo antweight retaliated by wedging underneath Draxus from the side and flipping it over with its tiny knob where the lifting arm was originally connected to. Free Shipping went to activate the pit but as it tried to nudge Draxus, it returned back on its wheel. Draxus was able to avoid both Free Shipping and Matilda's rush attempt. It then shoved Free Shipping to the side gate before getting a hold with its grabbing head. Once they entered the Corner Patrol Zone again, they were met by Matilda. Afterwards, Draxus had the tenacious Free Shipping beat in driving and reliability and pitted it.

Score: twopennymilk 4 - 2 OrangeDoseOverJuice

**Ruf Ruf Dougal vs Destruct-A-Bubble**

Ruf Ruf Dougal manage to push the bubble robot onto the floor flipper to flip it. Destruct-A-Bubble was not able to roll back on its wheel and Matilda came in for a ram. Matilda also struck it with her rear flywheel. When Ruf Ruf Dougal activated the pit, Matilda helped right the bubble onto its wheels. After Ruf Ruf Dougal pushed Destruct-A-Bubble into the pit by its side, it drove towards Matilda but got hurled back by the floor flipper after 'Cease' was called.

**King Buxton vs Roadblock**

Roadblock pushed King B into the Corner Patrol Zone and Matilda went to attack it with her tusks. King B was trapped between Roadblock and Matilda next to the pit release tire, which the huge wedge bot activated. King B struggled to drive properly. Meanwhile, Roadblock was immobile momentarily. King Buxton seized the opportunity and tried to pit the larger machine. Roadblock luckily regained movement and easily shoved it away once it was pushed. Roadblock lead them back to the same Corner Patrol Zone, letting Matilda pick on it. Matilda came in but became very close to the pit. With some slick maneuvering, King Buxton successfully got Roadblock snared on the arena grill soon after. Matilda then pushed Roadblock out of the grill with her rear. King Buxton was backed into the other corner before being double-teamed by Matilda and Roadblock. Roadblock began cutting King Buxton with its thin vertical spinner on its back. King Buxton was then flipped by Matilda.

As Roadblock tried to move out the corner, it accidentally removed its own slightly peeled side panel against the side gate. King Buxton was now free and Roadblock almost drove itself itself into the pit. Roadblock and King Buxton returned back into Matilda's corner again. Roadblock was able to bait King Buxton onto the floor flipper, get it immobilised and pit it.

Score: twopennymilk 5 - 3 OrangeDoseOverJuice

**Mad Catter vs Warhead**

Warhead spun its menacing spinning dome but Matilda hooked her tusks underneath Warhead's dome in the corner. Warhead charged towards Mad Catter, break pieces off of it and kept chasing until Mad Catter got stuck on the pit. Warhead went in for the attack and delivered a tail whip to it. Mad Catter was then trapped by Warhead in the corner with its extended wing. Matilda tossed Mad Catter over and activated the pit. Warhead appeared to be taking a break from the battle. Once Matilda flip Mad Catter again, Warhead charged into Mad Catter with its spinning dome. Matilda sustained a stray hit from the dome flywheel too. Warhead righted Mad Catter as it gave another ram. Matilda intervened and initiated a short fight with Mad Catter. Matilda blundered and got stuck on the edge of the pit before ending up in it with an escape attempt. Warhead tried to shove Mad Catter from behind. In awestriking fashion, both robots were launched to the corner by the floor flipper. They landed on their back and 'cease' was called. It came down to Judges' Decision for the upended competitors.

Score: twopennymilk 5 - 4 OrangeDoseOverJuice

**Gruffalo vs Diotoir**

Diotoir put the pressure on Gruffalo in the start of the match and actually did damage. Unfortunately, Diotoir was stuck on the pit cover. It struggled to drive over the lip of the pit. Luckily, Gruffalo accidentally provoked Matilda. Gruffalo decide to then used its rear to shove Diotoir while it is still on the pit. The roused Matilda lifted Diotoir up and shoving it free from the edges of the pit. Diotoir set its comical sight on its idle enemy and delivered a strong, rushing blow to the front of Gruffalo. Diotoir went ahead to faceplant itself onto the wall for a while before Gruffalo got flipped by the floor flipper from careless driving. Gruffalo was able to land on its wheel in a corner patrol zone but Matilda did not forget and punished it by removing a wheel off the robot. Diotoir allowed Matilda to overturn Gruffalo with its tusk.

The red Irish bot detached another wheel from Gruffalo with its disc. After the robot got pummeled by both Matilda and Diotoir, it was lifted and placed on its side against the wall. Matilda slammed Gruffalo until it was out of the arena through the gap between the wall and the arena gate. giving Diotoir the knockout victory to break its losing streak.

This would be one of the rare times Matilda was pissed enough to desecrate an irritating robot. The tie-breaker patrolling duty was left to Red Baron and she was *lucky* it was not her.
