K2

## Overview

K2 is a compact, 4WD vertical spinner armed with a large 'egg-beater', entered by Team Kamikaze. The robot utilises the Fingertech Robotics Beater Bar commonly used in the US Beetleweight class, and is designed to balance weapon power with drive power - often intentionally stopping its weapon during fights to better utilise its grip and maneuverability.

#### Rumble

When "Activate" was called, chaos broke out in the arena. Robots were flying, spinners were roaring, and surprisingly no one was thrown out in the opening 10 seconds. K2 got its weapon stuck in someone else's weapon belt, Bunny lost a wheel, and Drizzle threw someone across the arena. Drissle then grinded away at Zero Gravitas while Catalyst flipped half of Rust In Pieces. Someone opened the pit and X-301, and Drizzle drove in.

When the fight resumed, Sir Lance-a-Frog was finally able to get away from the pit and K2 was finally freed. When K2 got itself off of someone's minibot, it shot it into the stratosphere. Someone else drove into the pit, and K2 flipped Lance-a-Frog. Swag Demon then drove into the pit and the remaining half of Rust In Pieces pushed Rev 3 into the wall. K2 then flipped Zero Gravitas while WID3BOI was flailing around hopelessly. Catalyst then somehow hooked the top of its flipper on the underside of K2 which doomed both of them.

Attitude Adjuster then made a critical driving error that doomed it to the pit, leaving only WID3BOI and Rev 3. Eventually, "Cease" was called and WID3BOI won the judges decision.
