### Weapon

Flail, Flywheel

**Cannon Fodder**was a robot which appeared in AWS 1. It was a pink, two-wheeled wedge shaped robot armed with a spinning flail. Cannon Fodder did rather well in competition, placing fourth overall in AWS 3.

## Robot History

### AWS 1

   Cannon Fodder's first match was against the competition's sole walker, Type-0. Both machines made slow progress towards the centre of the arena. Cannon Fodder's wedge allowed for it to easily pick Type-0 up and slowly drive towards the edge of the arena. Type-0 attempted to get away but was eventually shoved off.

Cannon Fodder then faced Tyrant. The two machines met in the middle as usual, but seemed to be pushing heavily against each other. Cannon Fodder's blade scrapped across the scoop of Tyrant as it tried to turn around. Upon turning, Tyrant gained the upper hand and pushed Cannon Fodder off the arena.

### AWS 3

Cannon Fodder's first opponents here were Micro Phage and Grassbox. Micro Phage struggled to move properly and was swiftly pushed off. Both Cannon Fodder and Grassbox then spent the next few minutes fighting each other in an endless pushing match.

### AWS 4

Cannon Fodder's first match in AWS 4 was against Type-0, and Plod. It qualified alongside Plod to move onto round 2 where it was to face Triumphant, and Anto. However for unknown reasons Cannon Fodder withdrew, and was eliminated in round 2.

### AWS 12

Cannon Fodder's first opponents this series were Allikat and Lower. It simply sat back, which left it open to attack from Lower, who grabs it and pierces an electronic as smoke emitted from Cannon Fodder, then it was pushed into the trench, eliminating it.

Cannon Fodder then entered the Tag Team with Pixiedust and their first opponents were Chimera and new champ Militant. It was attacked by Chimera, but the walker topples, then Cannon Fodder lost a wheel to Militant. It's partner Pixiedust was immobilized not long after, so they lost.

### AWS 13

   Cannon Fodder returned and first fought Resurrected, Mutant and Bushido Embryio. It suddenly flipped itself over and Resurrected comes over clamping down and crushing it. Its saw also gets jammed into the floor. Resurrected then shoved Cannon Fodder into Mutant, who gives it a light hit. Resurrected lets go and tries to attack a wheel, but this flips it. Mutant seemed immobile as Bushido Embriyo turned round to charge into Cannon Fodder and Resurrected. Resurrected turned and attacked Mutant, but had pieces fly off and the robot was toppled. Bushido Embryio charged into Mutant and shoved it off, struggling to do so as the legs of Mutant dug into the floor. Cannon Fodder therefore qualified with Bushido Embryio and Resurrected.

Next up were Flurescant and Ramps. Ramps charged forward as Flurescant slammed into Cannon Fodder, getting underneath and struggling to push it. Ramps then slammed into the two, allowing Cannon Fodder to back away as Ramps pushed Flurescant around before spinning on the spot. Cannon Fodder got in from behind and pushed Flurescant against the side wall, where, due to its wedge shape, Flurescant managed to become trapped and unable to move, so Cannon Fodder and Ramps won by KO.

Cannon Fodder then meets OB1, Berserka and again Anto. It was a slow start for the robots as only Anto and Cannon Fodder fought one another. The pair slammed into each other face to face with Cannon Fodder being pushed towards the edge of the arena and eventually off, so it loses.

### AWS 14

Cannon Fodder's first opponent this year was Anticide. Cannon Fodder attacks, but is scooped and pushed off the arena, and now was in the loser's bracket.

Next up was Headache. Headache fires its hammer prematurely, allowing Cannon Fodder to carve on Headache, but was then flipped. Headache continues flailing its hammer as Cannon Fodder continues to attack. Headache gets flipped, but Cannon Fodder's most recent attack may have harmed it as it stopped moving. Headache self-rights and pounds Cannon Fodder's disc, sending itself to the wall where it momentarily got stuck, but it was obvious Cannon Fodder lost.

Cannon Fodder wasn't finished yet and participated in the mega melee with Chronotrigger, Zenith, Rampant, Duff, Chicken Porsche and Cannon Fodder's killer and recently crowned champion Anticide. In one second Cannon Fodder's saw falls off and the robot is flung out the arena. It eventually lost to Anticide again.

### AWS 16

    Cannon Fodder's first opponent here was EP. EP charged straight in and flipped Cannon Fodder over. Despite its invertible abilities, Cannon Fodder was unable to move. EP lifted Cannon Fodder over and placed it on its side as it was lined up for EP to push Cannon Fodder off. EP shunted Cannon Fodder and flipped it out.

Cannon Fodder was now in the loser's melee against Hinge, Rampant (again) and Dynamite. It was attacked by Rampant and flipped onto its face, then its back where it had no traction. Rampant finished it off by shoving it off the arena and eventually lost to Dynamite.

Cannon Fodder wasn't finished though: it took part in the red nosed melee along with Anto X, R.O.N.N.Y., and Antrax, plus the familiar faces of Pants, Anticide, Zenith, Rampant, Duff and Chicken. Cannon Fodder was immediately inverted and it struggled to move as a result. Mercifully, Antrax pushed it off the arena and in the end Chicken was the winner.

Cannon Fodder joined another red nosed melee with Chicken, R.O.N.N.Y., Duff, Antrax, Anto X and Anticide, and was once again with Smartant 1, while first-time faces were Voodoo and DBA Evo. Cannon Fodder started on R.O.N.N.Y. but only drives itself on it and flips itself over. Anticide pushed it on the arena's edge and it fell off after Rampant bumped it. While Cannon Fodder definitely lost, it is not known who won.

### AWS 18

Cannon Fodder's first opponent this year was Lab Rat. Unfortunately Lab Rat had technical problems before the match began, meaning it was forced to forfeit, giving Cannon Fodder a BYE.

Cannon Fodder was up against familiar face R.O.N.N.Y. and unfamiliar face Gums. A tentative start for all three as Gums and R.O.N.N.Y. nudge one another as Cannon Fodder spun up to speed. Cannon Fodder got closer and smashed into Gums, sending it and R.O.N.N.Y. upwards, with Gums landing on its back. Gums was invertible and was able to survive while Cannon Fodder's spinner stopped working. R.O.N.N.Y. tried flipping Gums as Cannon Fodder shoved it aside, across the arena. R.O.N.N.Y. then flipped Cannon Fodder with both engaging in a separate duel, leaving Gums behind. Cannon Fodder's spinner moved again but it was flipped on its side as R.O.N.N.Y. backed into it and then became immobile. Gums slipped away and spun around in victory after both opponents broke down. However, R.O.N.N.Y. soon sprang to life and slowly moved away, however, despite it moving away, R.O.N.N.Y. had been counted out, so both it and Cannon Fodder lose.

Cannon Fodder wasn't done though, it participated in a melee with Hinge, Halo, Electra, Antlifter and superant Super Antrax, complete with a toy of *Robot Wars'*  Growler. Cannon Fodder tries to attack Electra, only for Electra to flick it, which sent Cannon Fodder riding its disc into a trench. It was quickly helped out though. It tries to attack Super Antrax, but switches to Antlifter, though fails to do any damage and Super Antrax flips Cannon Fodder. Cannon Fodder rights itself and again attacks Super Antrax, but still causes no damage and was flipped again. It also gets stuck on the arena tire, though rights itself and escapes. Super Antrax flips it again and Cannon Fodder spent some time trying to right itself again, eventually doing so on the other arena tire. It lands a hit on Antlifter and claws Super Antrax who pushes Cannon Fodder around, eventually flipping it again. It rights itself, but gets flipped again, this time by Electra, who gives it two more flips. Cannon Fodder though was able to flip Electra and hits Halo, who became the last opponent. Halo pins Cannon Fodder to the wall and flips it twice. When Halo drove to the arena's edge, Cannon Fodder tried to push it in, only to go in itself, leaving Halo the winner.

### AWS 19

    Cannon Fodder's first opponent here was Wing Attack Plan R. Wing Attack Plan R slowly approached while Cannon Fodder spun up to speed and smashed into the main body of Wing Attack Plan R. The flywheel managed to tear open the lid of the robot and buckle the side armour but did not cause any other problems. Cannon Fodder attempted to push Wing Attack Plan R off but the large machine stood its ground, which meant Cannon Fodder changed tactic and began shunting Wing Attack Plan R against a side wall where it managed to topple it over.

Now it had to fight Anto 3. Anto 3 comes in and pushes and flips Cannon Fodder, plus pins it at the wall. Anto 3 tries to maneuver itself to push Cannon Fodder off the arena and does, falling with Cannon Fodder who loses.

### AWS 20

    Cannon Fodder's first opponents here were Void, and again Hinge and Halo. From the start both Hinge and Halo darted off and began attacking Cannon Fodder and Void respectfully. Cannon Fodder was flipped over on its side and the pressure from Hinge prevented any way of fighting back while Halo managed to grab Void with its flipper and hold on for a period of time. As Hinge pushed Cannon Fodder closer to the edge, Void was flipped by Halo and darted backwards off the arena. Cannon Fodder therefore stays in contention.

Next was Flippt!. The battle did not last very long as Flippt! charged into Cannon Fodder as it was attempting to spin up to speed. It rammed Cannon Fodder against the side wall and threw it out.

### AWS 28

Cannon Fodder's first opponent this year was Stewie. Cannon Fodder creeps forward but Stewie gets around and pushes Cannon Fodder off the arena, meaning Cannon Fodder lost.

Now in the loser's bracket, the next opponent was Boo. They meet head on, and Cannon Fodder saws at Boo who strangely wasn't moving. After Cannon Fodder withdrew it was obvious Boo had malfunctioned as it still didn't move, however Cannon Fodder unwittingly drove off the arena, but luckily it was declared winner.

Next was Stewie all over again. Cannon Fodder approaches, but Stewie shoves it into the wall, then flicks it near the arena's edge where Cannon Fodder falls off, so it lost and is officially eliminated.

Cannon Fodder does receive the Best Redesign Award.

### AWS 30

Cannon Fodder's first opponent here was Ouchie. Cannon Fodder moves in and claws into Ouchie, who tries to push Cannon Fodder and succeeds at getting Cannon Fodder off the arena, so Cannon Fodder lost and now was in the loser's bracket.

Next was Wanted. Wanted seems to have a malfunction in its right-wheel, so Cannon Fodder approached and flips Wanted, then cuts into it. Wanted self-rights and was now moving straight, and pushes Cannon Fodder off the arena, where it lost and was eliminated.

### AWS 34

Cannon Fodder's first opponent this year was Truant. Cannon Fodder approaches Truant, cutting in, though also receives a hit too. Cannon Fodder attacks, meeting weapon-to-weapon, then gets behind Truant's wheel, but is repelled. Truant was only circling itself, so Cannon Fodder attacks again, but this sent Cannon Fodder off the arena, so it lost.

Next was a two-wheeled lifter-user. Cannon Fodder was having traction problems as its opponent arrives, scoops and lifts Cannon Fodder, then pins it to the wall and flips it. Cannon Fodder was moving better inverted, but could not use its weapon in that position and was pushed off the arena, losing again.

### AWS 43

Cannon Fodder was back after taking a long time off, and the first opponent was Meat 4 x 4. Meat box rushes Cannon Fodder then gets away just as Cannon Fodder spins its disc. Cannon Fodder though seems to be having trouble with its weapon as it stopped and Meat pushes it, eventually getting it off the arena and fell down with it, but it's Cannon Fodder who loses so it was now in the loser's bracket.

Next came Thunder Strike. Thunder Strike box-rushes Cannon Fodder who tries to get away, but Thunder Strike scoops it from behind and grabs it, then pushes it off the arena, so Cannon Fodder lost and was now eliminated.
