## RoboGames History

### RoboGames 2011

#### Son of Ziggy vs Scrap Hammer

Son of Ziggy quickly got to the side of Scrap Hammer and flipped it over with ease. Since the vertical flywheel bot is neither invertible or able to self-right, Son of Ziggy earned a nearly effortless victory by knockout.

#### Son of Ziggy vs Breaker Box

Once the match started, Breaker Box immediately got under Son of Ziggy and rammed it into the railings. Breaker Box continued to pin the flipper bot but it seemed to have its lifting scoop stuck in Son of Ziggy's frame. Breaker Box turned around and slammed Son of Ziggy again to the other side of the railings, separating the two. Breaker Box scooped under Son of Ziggy, parking it on top of it again and continued to control it and with a lift. Fortunately for Son of Ziggy, Breaker Box was stuck in the wall and allowed it to deliver two lifts. Breaker Box continued to pressure Son of Ziggy, that had its flipping arm in extended position. Breaker Box started dropping its lifting scoop over and over onto the lifting arm. Breaker Box dominated the other robot for some duration, getting Son of Ziggy's lifting arm back into its original position but yet again, got its plough lodged under the railings. Once Breaker Box was pulled out, the launcher missed the target and Son of Ziggy have problems trying to retract it. Breaker Box returned back to shoving the robot around the arena with Son of Ziggy could only get flip on Breaker Box's scoop. Son of Ziggy lost the Judges' Decision to Breaker Box.

#### Son of Ziggy vs Preda Raptor

Son of Ziggy swiftly got a minor lift on Preda Raptor's side in the beginning. Both of the robots started circling each other, waiting for the right moment to attack. Preda Raptor abruptly could not turn on one of its side. Son of Ziggy still was not able to flip Preda Raptor over as it pivots in place. After a while, Son of Ziggy was finally able to overturn the grabber robot. Preda Raptor still could turn around on its head and after it tried to self-right, it got flipped onto the side of the railings, following a failed attempt by Son of Ziggy. Preda Raptor was soon counted out, giving Son of Ziggy a knockout victory.

#### Son of Ziggy vs Original Sin

Like true Original Sin fashion, it bullied Son of Ziggy around at the start of the match with great slams. Son of Ziggy almost launched Original Sin away as it drove over the wedge. Son of Ziggy managed to flip Original Sin over with its next try but this did not have much effect as Original Sin shoved it into the railings continually. Son of Ziggy missed few more flips before getting lightly rammed into the wall repeatedly. Son of Ziggy was not able to defend itself well enough to stop Original Sin from pounding it against the railings numerous times at different sides. Towards the end of the match, Son of Ziggy flipped Original Sin the second time but it was too late for it to change the tide of the match, losing to Original Sin in the Judges' Decision.
