### Robot History

#### Season 4

Recoil's first ever match was against **Lock-Jaw**. Lock-Jaw started out by deflecting Recoil with its plow twice, and on the second time flipping it. Recoil then hit Lock-Jaw's front, but didn't do much damage at the moment. Recoil then flipped itself again. This allowed Lock-Jaw to get a pair of massive hits with its spinner before Recoil got to the side and stripped a wheel clean off. An inverted Lock-Jaw then took three more hits before Recoil landed a shot that split Lock-Jaw in half. Then Recoil split Lock-Jaw's front half of the frame in two, securing a knockout.

Recoil then took on fellow 1-0 bot **Tungsten**.

The fight began with Recoil getting deflected and flipped. He was able to self-right before getting flipped twice more. Recoil then landed a pair of shots to Tungsten's rear end, and then flipped itself on the next rear end hit. Recoil then delfected off of Tungsten, flipping itself and using the weapon to self-right. Both bots then got each other in the pulverizer. Recoil then went to work landing a series of hits to the rear end of Tungsten, and eventually flipped it. Recoil got flipped one more time before throwing Tungsten over and tearing it apart.

Recoil then competed in a massive 12-bot rumble and was one of 7 competitors to win. He improved his record to 3-0.

Recoil's final match of the qualifiers was against End Game. Both robots began by going for position and looking for a hit; End Game then flipped Recoil. End Game looked to get under again, but Recoil tore off a fork and hit a self-righting arm. End Game was getting under, but Recoil continued the big hits, soon tearing out another fork. However, End Game then got the better position and flipped Recoil over, taking it into the screws but losing a self-righting arm in the process. End Game then took Recoil into the screws and lifted it out with a self-righting arm.

Recoil got the 7 seed in the tournament, mainly because it was 3-0 before losing, and had such a strong showing against End Game. It faced the 26 seed, Dantomkia, in the Round of 32. The fight started with Recoil going flying after a deflect from Dantomkia. Recoil was nearly flipped, but then turned around and delivered a hit to Dantomkia before flipping itself on another hit. Dantomkia took no damage from these hits, and was going on deflecting Recoil, but landed only mini flips. Recoil then got Random is into the screws and pushed it out.

Recoil then took on **Valkyrie** in the Round of 16. The fight didn't last very long; a summary is that Valkyrie had an early advantage by taking off a piece of front armor on Recoil, but Recoil then got to the back side and ripped out a wheel, immobilizing Valkyrie.

Recoil then faced End Game again. The fight started with Recoil getting flipped, but this time he wasn't able to do any damage. End Game then ripped an armor piece off. Recoil struggled for a few seconds to get any type of good hit before End Game used a self-righter to lift Recoil out with the help of the screws. This eliminated Recoil from the tournament.

#### Season 5

Recoil's first fight of Season 5 was against P.G.F.. The fight began with both bots spinning up and Recoil getting flipped. However, Recoil quickly broke P.G.F.'s weapon as he started several aggressive attacks. Recoil continued dominating the fight, and eventually took off the whole blade. Soon PGF was thrown out of the arena in a massive charge by Recoil. This put Recoil at 1-0.

Recoil then took on Flipjob. The fight began with Recoil throwing Flipjob on its back. Recoil then ripped off one of the wedges. Flipjob got brief control, but Recoil then landed a hit that split Flipjob in half. By this point, it was clear that Recoil had taken the win.
