## Overview

Hit is a purple flipper robot with a metal plated wedge. The wheels were guarded by plastic before having side panels across its length. It was built by Alex Shakesphere, commissioned by Anthony Murney from this website: https://nutsandbots.co.uk/

Hit was impressive in the first volume, only losing to Smidsy. It then lost to Nexus admirably, the mean red machine starting its colossal winning streak. It had an effective flip and good power but the same cannot be said in Volume 2. It had a new vertical spinner configuration that proved powerful but fragile. Its new flipper wedge came off easily from Top Bot's attack. Unfortunately, it would fall in the Death or Glory by Judges' Decision.

## Robot History

### Volume 1

**Hit vs Sting vs Betas**

The fight started with Hit flipping one of the Betas. Hit then started pressurizing Sting and lost the (glued on) metal wedge. Hit then activated the pit and flipped the other Beta. The rest of the fight consisted of Sting spinning, and Hit pressurizing it until Sting's mace was caught on the lip of the pit and it fell in. Hit moved on to the next round while Sting and the Betas went to the redemption rounds.

**Hit vs Greed**

The fight started with Hit getting around to the back of Greed and flipping it. Hit flipped Greed again and dislodged the Tony Hawk Skateboard motor. Hit then pushed Greed to the wall and flipped it out of the arena. Hit advanced to the next round and Greed was sent to the robot rampage.

**Hit vs Smidsy**

The fight started with both bots meeting in the middle and dancing around each other. Hit did get a flip on Smidsy but it was underpowered and didn't completely flip Smidsy. Smidsy, smelling blood in the water, opened the pit. Smidsy got under Hit and pushed them into the pit. Smidsy advanced to the Grand Final while Hit was sent to the robot rampage.

**Robot Rampage**

The fight started with everyone meting in the middle and chaos ensuing. Rusty pressurized one of the Betas and Diotoir into the wall while Hit went after Bane. Rusty then opened the pit and Hit flipped Demon Dragon in, ending its run with one of the Betas driving in shortly after, with Rusty pressurizing Air Strike while this is happening. Scrappy was pressurizing Witch Doctor and the other Beta while this was happening and Hit flipped Diotoir. Rusty pushed three robots and Minotaur was pushed into the pit with Hit flipping Two Headed Death Flamingo out of the arena shortly after.

Hit began to pressurize Air Strike as Witch Doctor drove into the pit while Scrappy was pressurizing Bane. Hit then flipped both Greed (which lost its motor again) and Donald Thump who then drove into the pit. Hit the flipped Bane then Scrappy. Scrappy then drove into the pit, while trying to hit Air Strike, and pushed Donald Thump further into the pit. Hit then pushed the remaining Beta into the pit as Rusty got free. Hit then righted Diotoir and flipped Rusty. Hit then fliped Diotoir and Greed as Diotoir was trying to push Bane into the pit which the flip accomplished. Hit then flipped Mantis who just got free from the pit corner. Diotoir was then flipped, leaving Hit and Rusty as the final two. Hit then attempted to flip the corpse of Air Strike out of the arena, but Minotaur's top panel got in the way. Hit then pushed Diotoir into the pit as Hit and Rusty started cleaning the arena of dead robots. Rusty pushed Mantis and Air Strike into the pit as Hit was trying to flip Greed out of the arena again and succeeding which left just Hit and Rusty in the arena. Hit started the "duel" by suplexing Rusty. Rusty got stuck on the edge of the pit, and Hit finished it off. Hit claimed the last spot in the Grand Final.

**Hit vs Tombstone**

The fight started with both robots charging at each other and Hit flipping Tombstone. Both machines danced around each other for a while before Tombstone got caught on the closed pit cover. Hit didn't activate the pit as a sign of respect. After that, Hit flipped itself over when trying to flip Tombstone and closing the flipper on the pit tire. After it self righted, it flipped Tombstone again. Tombstone kept getting caught on the floor seam of the pit and Hit kept flipping it. Eventually, Tombstone activate the pit. Later, Tombstone dislodged its own top panel as the fight ended and went to a judges decision where Hit won and advanced to the finals while Tombstone was sent to the 3rd place playoffs.

**Hit vs Smidsy**

The final started with both robots charging at each other and missing. Hit then flipped Smidsy soon after. Hit then rammed Smidsy into the wall and almost pined it. Smidsy fled but Hit kept pressurizing them and flipped them again. Eventually, the pit was opened by Smidsy and Hit was pushed in. Smidsy was now the winner of Antweight Anarchy.

### International Inferno

**Hit vs Nexus**

House Robot: Matilda

Hit battled Nexus, who was fresh off winning the Battle of the Youtubers for the spot to fight for Northern Ireland in a fierce spectacle. Hit took some time to adjust its movement and Nexus acted immediately with a small flip to start the match. They were scrambling around the arena grill that was beside Matilda. Hit was flipped again by Nexus. now, behind it. An effortless self-righting got Hit back on its wheels as Nexus bumped into Matilda. Matilda was beginning to retaliate so a great flip was delivered to Nexus by Hit when it tried to react. Remaining hostile but missing flips, both robots continued its ruthless battle and Hit managed to flip Nexus again successfully. Nexus pirouetted first, then, got itself right up. In response, Nexus got underneath Hit and drove the purple robot into the wall. Hit was able to escape the red robot and the floor flipper barely. Unfortunately, it was flipped out of the arena by Nexus immediately.

### Volume 2

**Hit vs Demon Dragon vs Nuts**

Entering as a spinner-flipper interchangeable combination, it was seeded 2nd and was the first to compete. As Demon Dragon slowly walked towards Nuts, Hit struck the walker hard that it broke a piece of its own disc. The walker was propelled to the side gate and could not self-right. Hit, no longer able to spin, began shoving Nuts around. Nuts was facing driving issues and spun around. The flails had seemingly no effect on the spinner antweight. Hit continued pushing Nuts until they were in another corner. Right before "Cease" was called, Hit's spinner pulley fell off. It won by unanimous judges' decision.

**Gold Rumble**

**Hit vs Ragnarok vs Nelly**

The fight started with Hit spinning up and each combatant squabbling for position until Hit eventually managed to land an uppercut that stranded Nelly against the arena wall. Nelly Recovered, but Hit proved relentless as it proceeded to land several vicious blows onto Nelly, throwing the elephant-themed robot around the arena and flipping it. While Nelly was beached, Hit went in for a few more cheap shots, but ended up snapping the tooth of its only spare disc off in the process. Hit powered down its vertical spinner and this allowed Ragnarok to come in and lock horns with the seeded machine as Nelly was counted out. Hit then got stuck on the closed pit cover and Ragnarok saw this and instantly dashed over to the pit button and pressed it, opening the pit and sending Hit to the Death or Glory rumble.

**Death or Glory**

**Hit vs Top Bot vs Hit & Run vs Nelly**

The fight started with Top Bot spinning up and the combatants scrambling for position. Hit & Run ran over Hit as it was squaring up with Top Bot who easily tore off Hit's wedge before violently tearing off its side panel as well. Top Bot then hung back as Hit & Run vented its frustrations on Hit by pushing it into the top left CPZ. Hit & Run then turned towards Top Bot as Nelly was now stranded on the pit cover and proceeded to run over the favorites several times before reversing and pushing Nelly off the pit cover, freeing it. Top Bot then landed a shot onto one of Hit & Run's saw wheels which deflected the attack and redirected Top Bot into the CPZ. Top Bot recovered and threw Nelly aside as it went after Hit & Run.

The fight then went to the pit tire where Hit & Run escaped while Top Bot started to pick apart Nelly's corpse as it was counted out and eliminated. Hit then pushed Top Bot onto the arena grate and Hit & Run decided that this was the perfect time to simply charge in and run over the most dangerous bot still in the arena. The fight moved off of the grate during the replays of Hit & Run's charge and Hit & Run opened the pit as Top Bot continued slowly chipping away at the Volume 1 runner-up. As Top Bot and Hit continued their duel, Hit & Run almost drove into the pit, but narrowly escaped before taking the pressure off of Hit by smothering Top Bot before retreating and suffering a critical existence failure. Top Bot then finished the job by landing a vicious shot on Hit, throwing it into the pit tire. However, this also carried consequences for Top Bot as the motor driving its spinner detached from the chassis.

Luckily, Hit and Hit & Run were counted out and "Cease!" was called before Top Bot could continue destroying itself. As for its opponents, all of them were destroyed in some way and all of them were eliminated while Top Bot advanced to the Heat Final.

In the Damage Analysis, Hit had its wheel bent inwards with a broken gear box. The flipper motor was ripped apart by Top Bot and shocked the electronic speed controller.
