## Robot History

### AWS 26

General Mayhem's first opponent this year was Devil's Buddy. General Mayhem starts on the hammer-member and almost got lifted by the lifter-member, then flips the hammer-member and aims for the lifter-member and flips it too. As neither member could self-right or move upside-down, Devil's Buddy was counted out and General Mayhem won by knock out.

Next was Squashy. General Mayhem gets behind Squashy and lifts it against the wall, then flips it. Squashy self-rights, but General Mayhem continues to attack and flips Squashy again. Squashy self-rights again, but gets pushed to the arena's edge and General Mayhem flicks it down the trench and won.

Now it had Fast Dalek. General Mayhem approaches and flips Fast Dalek by simply scooping it. Fast Dalek self-rights and General Mayhem misses a flip, then Fast Dalek pushes General Mayhem off the arena.

For the losers' bracket it had Variant. As soon as they touched each other General Mayhem loses a tread and a tread-hub as well as gets flipped, but Variant sent itself off the arena, so General Mayhem wins.

Next came Shadow. They were cautious at approaching each other but Shadow drives up General Mayhem and flips itself, then self-rights out the arena, so General Mayhem won.

Now it had Fast Dalek again. General Mayhem approaches but fails to scoop Fast Dalek as it missed a flip. Fast Dalek suddenly moves forward up General Mayhem and flips itself, and General Mayhem flicks it over the arena-barrier, getting revenge.

Next was Flippt!. Flippt! proved lower and scoops and pins General Mayhem against the arena-barrier. General Mayhem escapes but Flippt! catches it and flips it, but General Mayhem self-rights and gets around Flippt! and flips it along with itself. General Mayhem self-rights while Flippt! couldn't due to the arena-barrier being in the way, and General Mayhem lifts it out.

Now it had its relative Private Iron, however a fight was not to be as they were on the same team, and General Mayhem chose to forfeit and settle for Third Place of series twenty-six.

General Mayhem also wins the Most Destroyed award from its fight against Variant.

### AWS 28

General Mayhem first entered the non-spinner tournament, meeting Anticide. Anticide attacks but was higher than General Mayhem who flings Anticide about and into a trench, so General Mayhem won.

Next was Anto 3. Anto 3 comes and shoves General Mayhem into the wall, holding it there for a moment. Upon releasing, General Mayhem lifts Anto 3, then flips it. Anto 3 also spun carelessly close to the arena's edge, but avoids falling off only to meet General Mayhem, who tries to fling it in but Anto 3 escapes. General Mayhem chases Anto 3 and pins it, and tries to flip it but fails. Anto 3 then stuns all by driving itself into the trench, giving the win to General Mayhem.

Now it had Dominant. The two come to each other and start pushing each other, with General Mayhem missing a flip. Then Dominant pushed General Mayhem into the trench, so it lost and went to the loser's bracket.

Next came Anticide again. Anticide approaches cautiously and this time managed to scoop General Mayhem, and flip it, then gave another, which left General Mayhem stuck over the trench. General Mayhem tries to self-right but fails and Anticide tries to get it in, but decides to flip it out the arena and does, so General Mayhem lost and was eliminated.

General Mayhem's first opponent in the main tournament was Dominant again. As they meet General Mayhem missed a flip and Dominant temporary got stuck on General Mayhem but got free, then rams General Mayhem into the wall, pinning it. General Mayhem managed to escape and they drive around each other until Dominant went too close to the arena's edge and fell off, so General Mayhem won.

Next was Terrior. Terrior ends up driving over General Mayhem who almost flips it. Terrior gets to General Mayhem's right-side and pushed it off the arena, so General Mayhem lost and was now in the loser's bracket.

Now it had Dominant yet again. Once again Dominant pushes General Mayhem into the wall but General Mayhem escapes, almost driving off the arena in doing so, but backs up onto the wall and fell off on the outside, losing the fight and getting eliminated.

### AWS 30

General Mayhem's first opponent here was Tempest. On first contact General Mayhem receives a hit and almost flips itself backwards, and another seems to kill it as it didn't move anymore, so General Mayhem lost and went to the loser's bracket.

Next was MANtis. MANtis drives around and tries to outflank General Mayhem, though it doesn't work. MANtis briefly drives up General Mayhem but escapes right before General Mayhem could flip. MANtis then drives to the arena's edge and carelessly moves off it, so General Mayhem won.

Now it had Antipathy. Immediately Antipathy spun out of control and pinballs itself off the arena, all while General Mayhem hardly moved, but it won.

Next came Combatant. General Mayhem flips but Combatant who immediately self-rights, then strike General Mayhem where it flips both of them. General Mayhem loses a track but self-rights and Combatant recovers as well, although its was upside-down and its weapon seems to have died, so it was reduced to a pushing fight. Combatant momentarily got stuck on its face, but General Mayhem nudged it back on its wheels, only for Combatant to drive off the arena, giving General Mayhem the win.

Up next was Strafen. Strafen drives over and General Mayhem accidentally drives over it, and seems to have trouble scooping Strafen. Both almost drive off the arena and after some driving around General Mayhem went too close to the edge and fell off, so it lost and was eliminated.

### AWS 32

The first opponent here was the familiar Fast Dalek. Fast Dalek approached slowly and almost got flipped by General Mayhem, who clamps it in its flipper but Fast Dalek escapes. General Mayhem flips Fast Dalek and itself, but self-rights while Fast Dalek's weapon seems to be malfunctioning as it stayed raised, leaving it to be counted out as General Mayhem watched and won.

Next was Disobediant. Immediately Disobediant drove off the arena, forcing a redo. This time Disobediant attacks General Mayhem and tries to flip it but failed. General Mayhem in turn successfully flips Disobediant and tries to push it off the arena, but Disobediant self-rights and in doing so flips General Mayhem, though both recover. They then began missing flips and Disobediant tries to circle around, but General Mayhem flips it twice, though Disobediant self-rights both times and dodges the third flip. Disobediant finally got a flip on General Mayhem and then flung it into the wall, but this also righted it. General Mayhem retaliates by flipping Disobediant onto its rear and itself, then began slowly pushing Disobediant toward the arena's edge and succeeds.

Now it had Mantis. Mantis immediately runs in and drives up General Mayhem and topples but self-rights. Mantis tries to circle around General Mayhem who circles in place, then flips Mantis onto its flank, though Mantis managed to move onto its rear and General Mayhem pushed it into the wall, then moved to its flank and flicks it off the arena.

Next came Terrorizer. Terrorizer approached and General Mayhem tried to get at its flank, then scoops and flips it, rendering the odds in General Mayhem's favor. It continued to attack and flips Terrorizer again on the arena's edge and then pushed it off, falling with it but wins.

Now it had Fast Dalek again. They were cautious at each other and General Mayhem scoops and flips Fast Dalek who self-rights, only for General Mayhem to flip it again but not overturn it. General Mayhem then flips Fast Dalek again who tries to self-right, only for General Mayhem to flip it again, but Fast Dalek self-rights again and scoops and flips General Mayhem, who self-rights and flicks Fast Dalek out the arena.

Next was its relative Private Iron, and unlike AWS 26 they do fight each other. General Mayhem was lower and lifts Private Iron who quickly retreats, then scoops General Mayhem and flips it onto its right-flank. Private Iron almost drove off the arena and tries to push General Mayhem, only to flip itself on its flank and drive off the arena, so General Mayhem, having recovered, wins.

As General Mayhem hasn't lost yet and Private Iron only lost once, they had to fight each other again. General Mayhem lifts Private Iron who returns the favor and scoops and almost topples General Mayhem. General Mayhem reverses onto General Mayhem which almost flipped it, then gets flipped by Private Iron but self-rights. General Mayhem lifted Private Iron briefly and missed another flip, but succeeds on the third: toppling Private Iron on its left-flank, but Private Iron recovers and General Mayhem missed another flip. After some weak lifts and almost driving off the arena, General Mayhem corrals Private Iron at the wall and flips it and itself. General Mayhem self-rights but Private Iron still struggles on its flank, allowing General Mayhem to attack it, which rights it. General Mayhem missed a flip and flips itself but self-rights and flips Private Iron who also self-rights. Finally though, General Mayhem managed to hold Private Iron at the arena's edge and catapult it down the trench, winning the fight and its second championship.

### AWS 33

General Mayhem's first opponent this year was again Fast Dalek. Fast Dalek approaches but General Mayhem scoops and flips it, though Fast Dalek escapes. General Mayhem comes in and flips Fast Dalek again and much like last year Fast Dalek's lifter seems to be on the fritz. It was counted out and General Mayhem wins again.

Next was, oddly, the nanoweight Firebox. This was rather easy as General Mayhem strolls over behind Firebox who was just stting in place and flicks it off the arena.

Its is unknown who else General Mayhem fought, but it failed to defend its title as Jigsaw became the champion this time.

### AWS 34

The first opponent this year was Adder. Both opponents were wary of each other but General Mayhem gets the first hit by scooping and flipping Adder, who self-rights. General Mayhem harasses Adder and missed a flip on it, then tosses Adder into a barrel roll. Adder was still playing keep away and General Mayhem missed two flips and almost flips Adder on the third. General Mayhem finally flips Adder who tries to self-right, eventually doing so. It tries to circle around General Mayhem who drives in, accidentally going onto Adder but retreats before Adder could flip. General Mayhem missed one flip but succeeds on another, but Adder self-rights again onto its rear. After getting itself on its front General Mayhem snuck around and scoops Adder from behind and catapults it off the arena, so General Mayhem won.

Next was a horizontal-bar-user. General Mayhem cautiously approached and gets clawed, then loses part of its flipper, and after more hits its right-track. General Mayhem was dangerously close to the arena's edge but still able to move, but another hit removes the other track, officially immobilizing General Mayhem who obviously lost and was going to the loser's bracket.

Now it had Spall, however General Mayhem only got one tread repaired and put on (it had a wheel as substitute for the other). Despite this it approached Spall and chucks it up, removing some of its decorations. General Mayhem chases Spall and flicks it off the arena, so it won.

Next came Mini MAlice. General Mayhem was still using a wheel in place of its left-track. As they come to each other General Mayhem missed a flip but gets Mini MAlice on the second one, making Mini MAlice barrel roll off the arena, so General Mayhem was still in contention.

Now it had a rear-hinged flipper-user, and General Mayhem still hadn't gotten its left-track back yet. The opponent was faster and quickly scoops General Mayhem and tries to push it around, eventually flicking General Mayhem out the arena, so General Mayhem lost was eliminated.

### AWS 37

General Mayhem's first opponent here was BulletProof. General Mayhem appeared to have problems in the start but then when BulletProof attempted to attack General Mayhem it pinned BulletProof before getting pitted by General Mayhem.

Next was Inertia 3. Inertia 3 came without fear but General Mayhem scoops and pushed it, then flips it where Inertia 3 bounced near the arena's edge, and General Mayhem quickly bumped it to get it off and does.

Now it had Problem Gustav?. When they meet General Mayhem gets flipped by Problem Gustav? but self-rights, only to get clawed more. Another shot sent General Mayhem into the wall, but it retaliates and pushed Problem Gustav? off the arena, so General Mayhem wins.

In the quarterfinals was a four-wheeled wedge-user. General Mayhem was lower and flips the other robot over, but accidentally rights it immediately after and gets flipped itself by it. General Mayhem self-rights while the opponent accidentally reversed off the arena, so General Mayhem won again.

For the semifinals it had DisobediANT. DisobediANT drives in but found itself higher and General Mayhem missed a flip and flipped itself. It self-rights and flips DisobediANT off the arena, winning again.

Now in the finals again, it came against Spyro 2. Spyro 2 tries to get around General Mayhem who prevents it, eventually attacking but missed a flip and flipped itself, but self-righted before Spyro 2 could attack, and Spyro 2 also drives off the arena, so General Mayhem wins its third championship.

### AWS 38

The first opponent this year was a ramp-shaped wedgebot. Both mainly drove around each other but the opponent scoops rams General Mayhem into the wall, but General Mayhem corners it side on and lifts it on its side, where the opponent was stuck, and General Mayhem obviously won.

Next was Quantum. Both were hesitant to approach each other until Quantum turned out to be higher off the ground and General Mayhem began mobbing it, only to be scooped and flipped, but self-rights and narrowly dodges Quantum who tried to push it off the arena, but goes itself, so General Mayhem won.

Now it had Variant. General Mayhem stayed put as Variant arrived and hits it, sending it bouncing off the wall and removing the left-track, however Variant's bar seems to be having trouble, so General Mayhem attacks, missing a flip. Variant tries to reactivate its bar but General Mayhem shoved it into the wall, then flips it, rendering the bar unusable. General Mayhem kept the assault and flips Variant back over, but staying near it keep the bar from moving, then tries to flip again but fails. Variant however pushes General Mayhem and gets it off the arena, sending it to the losers' bracket.

Next came Something. General Mayhem flips the exposed-wheeled-member, then flips the lifter-member. The exposed-wheel-member rights itself, but General Mayhem launches it into a trench, though falls in itself, so it lost and was eliminated (and dethroned).
