**Zenith** is a two-wheeled (later tracked) robot armed with a vertical disc that competed in AWS 13 and continued to AWS 43.

## Robot History

### AWS 13

    The first robots Zenith fights are OB1 and R.O.N.N.Y.. The battle started tentatively until R.O.N.N.Y. managed to slip around Zenith and flip it away. The flip had managed to immobilise Zenith who completely stopped moving. R.O.N.N.Y. nudged forward and flipped Zenith again, and this time out of the arena while OB1 simply spun around it, either way Zenith lost and was eliminated.

### AWS 14

Zenith's first opponent here was Entrant. Zenith was able to hit Entrant, but Entrant flips Zenith a little. Zenith then began having torque-problems and Entrant capitalized by flipping Zenith on its side, where it fell off the arena and was now in the loser's bracket.

Now in the loser's bracket, Zenith was against Red Eye. Red Eye failed to move and Zenith was given an easy win.

Zenith was pitted against Anticide this time. Zenith lands one hit, but Anticide forces it off the arena, so Zenith was officially eliminated from the tournament.

Zenith wasn't finished though as it participated in the mega melee with the new champion Anticide (Zenith's killer), Rampant, runner-up Chicken Porsche, Chronotrigger, Anticide Kick, Duff and Cannon Fodder. It started on Chronotrigger, but gets flipped out the arena. Eventually Anticide was the winner.

### AWS 16

    Zenith's first opponent this time was Electra. Zenith got the quicker and more aggressive start, it smacked into Electra and with the flywheel scraping the front flipper. Zenith managed to topple Electra who self-righted, only to be attacked from the side by Zenith, causing some damage. Zenith backed away before turning to face Electra. Zenith then charged and smashed into Electra with both machines being propelled away by the sheer impact, with Zenith unluckily throwing itself out. As a result Zenith lost.

Next up was Voodoo. Voodoo charged into Zenith and pressured it against the side wall before backing off. Voodoo slammed into Zenith again but drove back only to charge off the arena. Zenith therefore won and gets to participate more.

Now it had Odyssey. Zenith gave one little hit which knocked Odyssey back. Odyssey went in again and gets clawed by Zenith, and Zenith's weapon-belt suddenly comes off. The odds now in Odyssey's favor, it lifts Zenith slightly, then the two push each other around, but Odyssey gets the better by shoving Zenith off the arena, ending it.

Zenith wasn't finished though and took part in the tag team with old nemesis Anticide, who had been dethroned this year, against DBA Evo and Anto X. Zenith started with DBA Evo, only to be flipped over. Unable to self-right, it was left alone by the others, though luckily DBA Evo and Anto X went out first, so Anticide made their side the winner.

Their next opponents were Eggman and Chicken, the latter Zenith met before. Chicken attacks Zenith and removes the weapon belt, but Zenith refused to give up and pushes Chicken, who pushes back. When they stopped Chicken wasn't moving, so Zenith and Anticide won by KO as Eggman was also out.

In the final only Smartant 2 and familiar face Voodoo were left. Zenith attacks Voodoo, flipping it, however Voodoo retaliates. Zenith gets a hit on Voodoo's rear. The opponents then switch around and Zenith tackles Smartant, who pushes it off the arena. Anticide avenges Zenith and in the end got them both the championship title.

Zenith also took part in the red nosed melee with Anticide, and was against it, R.O.N.N.Y., Anto X, Chicken, Rampant, Cannon Fodder and Duff again, while first-time meeting faces are Pants and Antrax. Zenith started on R.O.N.N.Y. and gets it off the arena, then aims for Chicken, then Antrax. Chicken however flips it, though Zenith was able to propel itself with its weapon-motor, eventually getting righted by Rampant. It lands another hit on Antrax and continues to attack the tracked bot, almost getting flipped again too. While pinning Antrax at the wall, Chicken comes in and flips it over the wall. It eventually lost to Chicken.

Zenith also joined another red nosed melee with Anticide, R.O.N.N.Y., Anto X, Chicken, Rampant, Antrax, Cannon Fodder and Duff, plus meets Voodoo again, DBA Evo again and Smartant 1. It attacks DBA Evo and hits Antrax. It also attacks R.O.N.N.Y. and again Antrax, though it is unknown who won the melee.

Zenith also participated in the spinner melee, again with DBA Evo but also Anticyclone and Pixiedust. Zenith started on Anticyclone, who rips its right-wheel off, and then the weapon belt. It lost to DBA Evo.

### AWS 26

After taking ten years off, Zenith meets F.I.N. first. Zenith wheels over and claws at F.I.N. then delivers a big hit that sent F.I.N. upwards and Zenith itself on its back. Unable to self-right, Zenith lost.

Now in the loser's bracket, it was against Valliant. Zenith rips pieces of Valliant off from every hit, then launches Valliant out the arena, meaning it won.

Next was Defiant. Defiant pushes Zenith into the wall, but Zenith rips a wedge off, opens the underside panel and flips Defiant. Sensing it had the edge, Zenith attacks more and flings Defiant upward, where it landed on the arena's edge and fell down the trench, handing Zenith another win.

The next opponent was Dynamite. Dynamite rushes in and rams Zenith right in the disc, making Zenith do a summersault before pinning it to the wall. Dynamite lets go and Zenith's disc seems to cease. Dynamite now had the advantage and shoves Zenith around before it got caught on the arena's edge. Dynamite came to nudge it off, though gravity got to Zenith first, either way Zenith lost.

Zenith was still in contention though, and now faced Flippt!. Flippt! cautiously approaches Zenith and forces it into a wall, getting clawed by the disc but lifts Zenith, and gets it over the wall. Zenith lost and was now eliminated.

Zenith though does win the Best Design Award and the Most Destructive Award.

### AWS 38

Once again taking several years off, Zenith was back and the first opponent was 747. 747 rushes into Zenith who repels it, then rips 747 up. 747 was still alive but decides to surrender, so Zenith won.

Next was Permanant Forever. The first collision made Zenith bounce, but the next made it bounce to the trench and it fell in, losing the fight and going into the loser's bracket.

Now it had Baby Hell. Zenith lightly hits Baby Hell, but then accidentally drives off the arena, losing and eliminating itself.

### AWS 39

Zenith's first opponent here was the familiar Defiant. Zenith lands a small hit on Defiant's right-track, but Defiant scoops and topples Zenith on its disc, making it bounce about to a trench. Zenith lost so it was in the loser's bracket.

Next was Killed in the face. K.I.T.F. seemed reluctant to attack Zenith, possibly acknowledging its offense, while Zenith approaches without fear and almost hits K.I.T.F. Killed in the face almost drives off the arena but backs away while dodging Zenith. Finally Zenith lands a hit that flips K.I.T.F. on its back. Zenith hits again but K.I.T.F. still doesn't move so it was counted out. During the countdown Zenith accidentally backs into the wall and bounces away before settling on its back, but recovers, at the same time Killed in the face's weapon suddenly spun and almost self-rights it, stopping its countdown, but it gives up in the end, so Zenith won.

Now it had Duff, which it hadn't seen since series 14. Duff rushes in and flips Zenith and itself, but both self-right, however Duff loses its left-wheel, and seems to have died. Zenith played with the wheel as it got the win.

Next up was another familiar robot in Rampant, which Zenith also hadn't met since series 14. Zenith lifts Rampant on the first hit, but Rampant shoves Zenith all while being clawed, all the way off the arena. While both went down, it was Zenith who loses and is eliminated.

Zenith also entered the Annihilator with BulletProof, Svengali, Smart Ant 2 (again), Napalm Death, Flippertron 2, Nom Nom Nom, Killed in the face (again), Malevolant, Randar and an unknown bar-spinner. Once the round started Zenith got up to speed, and popped Inertia, but it landed upright, BulletProof then flipped Killed to death near the drop off. Moments later Zenith, and Randar then went weapon to weapon, with Randar winning the exchange, flipping Zenith. Fortunately for Zenith whose weapon had stopped upon contact with the floor leaving it with no way to self-right, Killed in the face was also unable to self-right. As the latter was closer to the edge, it was an easier target than Zenith, and was quickly shoved out by Inertia, eliminating it just as BulletProof shoved Napalm Death into the unknown bar spinner, flipping Napalm Death as well.

Zenith survives to the next round. This short round started with Zenith getting up to full speed, it then hit both Napalm Death, and Randar, this launched Randar onto the top of Nom Nom Nom's bar spinner, before bouncing itself out the arena.

Zenith remains in contention. Malevolant started this match off by moving out it's starting position, and shoving Inertia 4. However it was quickly broadsided by the spinning bar of Nom Nom Nom, launching it onto the wedge of BulletProof. The latter then started shoving the former towards the push out zone. Before BulletProof could do anything however, Inertia 4 slowly drove towards the unknown bar spinner, and collided weapon to weapon. The resulting hit sent both robots out the arena simultaneously, and ripped the weapon off of Inertia 4. As Inertia 4 had hit the floor first, it was eliminated.

Zenith survives to the next round. As soon as this round started Napalm Death was under pressure from both Nom Nom Nom and BulletProof. Nom Nom Nom then went after Smart Ant, which up to this point had played a minimal role in the annihilator. At the same time Malevolant started shoving Zenith around the place before trying to go after Svengali. This happened just as Zenith delivered what would prove to be a fatal blow to Smart Ant. Before Smart Ant could even begin to be counted out however BulletProof got under Napalm Death, and with a strong drive, shoved it out of the arena, meaning Napalm Death was eliminated instead.

Zenith advances to the next round. As soon as the round started it became immediately clear that while the flipper was working on Smart Ant II, the damage that Zenith had done to it the round prior had left it unable to move. Zenith meanwhile rips the flipper off Flippertron 2. Svengali then moved in to shove the immobile bot out, but before that could happen the unknown bar spinner spun up, and delivered a mighty hit. This blow first sent Svengali, and Malevolant out the push out zone, then caused the bar spinner to eject it's own wheels before mauler dancing itself out the other push out zone. As SmartAnt II was immobilized before the round even began it was quite obviously eliminated at this stage.

Zenith survives again. Once this match started Zenith immediately spun up to speed, and went over to attack Malevolant, but instead rips a wheel from Svengali. However just as they were about to collide, Zenith inexplicably broke down. As this was going on Nom Nom Nom sent Bulletproof flying, however BulletProof recovered, and started attacking the unknown bar spinner which then after a bit of pressure self-destructed again. Although Zenith was immobilized first, and thus eliminated, the Unknown bar spinner had taken too much damage, and had to drop out of the Annihilator as well.

### AWS 40

The first opponent here was Antimatter. As Zenith spins up Antimatter keeps away from the front but gets hit lightly and flipped over. Zenith continues assaulting Antimatter, but Antimatter pushes Zenith and managed to topple it backwards, but Zenith self-rights when its disc made contact with the wall. Zenith immediately launched Antimatter twice, and a third hit crumples Antimatter's wedge, but the next hit backfires as it bounces Zenith out of the arena, costing the fight and sending itself to the loser's bracket.

Now it had Hell Boy. Hell Boy scoops Zenith and topples it backwards, then pushes it into a wall where Zenith bounces away and lands upright. Zenith tries to attack but Hell Boy rams it into another wall, then tries to flip it, but Zenith slides off the flipper behind Hell Boy, giving it a chance to attack, though it only lands weak hits. Another collision again sends Zenith toppling and bouncing away but landing upright. Hell Boy tries to scoop and flip Zenith but again Zenith slides off the flipper behind Hell Boy. Hell Boy manages to scoop Zenith and push it off the arena, so Zenith lost and was officially eliminated.

### AWS 41

Zenith's first opponent this time was Scott. As soon as they make contact, Zenith rips off Scott's right-arm, and the next hit topples Scott, and Zenith finishes it off by pushing it off the arena.

Next was the familiar BulletProof. BulletProof rushes in and tries to circle Zenith who wasn't having it, then Zenith attacks BulletProof's left-flank, but BulletProof escapes and attacks head on, pinning Zenith to the barrier all while Zenith claws at BulletProof with its disc. BulletProof backs up a little, letting Zenith follow, but this allowed BulletProof to ram Zenith into the barrier, sending Zenith bouncing out of the arena, so Zenith lost.

It's unknown who else Zenith fought.

Zenith also enters the annihilator with Frantic, Duncan Hammertime, Fractured Evo 2, Ant Ratchet, Hogi, Death Adder, Critical Existence Failure, Wutu and Stewie, plus Napalm Death and Nom Nom Nom again. Zenith moves and just dodges Ant Ratchet, then zooms into Wutu and hits it and gets lifted by Ant Ratchet. It then got pushed on the pit by several robots, but survives, however it suddenly bounces and lands on its face, but recovers, then tries to attack anyone before driving into the pit, and it was the first out.

Zenith wins the Most Destructive award, its second in history.

### AWS 42

Zenith's first opponent this year was Wutu. Zenith chases Wutu who keeps away, but Zenith does get one little hit in, but this stalls the disc and Wutu pushes Zenith off the arena, so Zenith was now in the loser's bracket.

Next was Napalm Death. As soon as they meet Zenith is sent bouncing about and out of the arena, losing again and was officially eliminated.

Zenith enters another annihilator with Napalm Death, BulletProof, Lynx, Delirious, Frantic, Nom Nom Nom, a drum-user, a red rear-hinged flipper, Adder, a vertical-crusher, Mini E, a black box-shaped robot and a parallelogram-wedge-user. Zenith started with Napalm Death and flips it, but Napalm Death self-rights, then Zenith gets pushed off the arena by it, though Napalm Death fell with it. Zenith though survives as BulletProof was the one beaten.

For the next round Zenith was immediately scooped by Frantic and sent off the arena. Obviously Zenith was the one to lose.

### AWS 43

Zenith's first opponent this time was Dark Matter II. Zenith has trouble starting its disc as the fight begins and Dark Matter lands a small hit with its drum. Dark Matter keeps away from Zenith's disc despite its sluggishness and circles to the right-flank and strikes there, tearing off a piece of Zenith, and this has taken away the drive there as well. Reduced to circling itself Zenith was counted out and now in the loser's bracket.

Now it had Ant Clank, however Zenith seems to have technical difficulties that were too time-consuming to repair, and it forfeited, eliminating itself. This was also the last time Zenith competed in Antweight World Series.
