## Overview

Diotoir is a competitor robot competing in the multiple events of Antweight Anarchy that has a vertical spinner. It is a repainted Witch Doctor Hexbug toy. It has no effective means of self-righting, which proved to be frequently its downfall. It somehow managed to be granted a seed for Volume 2's main competition.

In Battle of the Builders 3, Diotoir appeared as a whole different incarnation with a wider vertical disc spinner and only a 2-wheel drive, resembling the heavyweight Diotoir counterpart from Robot Wars: World Series. This version of Diotoir was built by OrangeDoseOverJuice, using the rear of Hexbug Matilda as the base.

This redesign proved to have the intended effect by disassembling Gruffalo during Battle of the Builders 3, but showed its flaws during Tinsel Torment where it was easily corralled into the pit by House Robot Matilda.

Volume 2 rolled around and Diotoir's issues got even worse. It worked completely fine in its opening melee, but when it was time for the Bronze Rumble, Diotoir had severe control issues and completely died halfway through.

Diotoir then came back for Tinsel Torment 3 with a new design that is more accurate to the version of Diotoir that made it to the final match of the FMB 2018 Finals. Unfortunately, it could not emulate the same success as it was thrown out of the arena twice and still suffered from self righting issues from trying to self right on its back.

This weakness would unfortunately carry over into Volume 3 where it almost cost Diotoir in the Heat A opening melee where it was thrown onto its back by Nessie, but thankfully managed to self right. Due to Heat A being Nexus' heat, this issue would have come up more if it wasn't for the new highly destructive spinner Entropy who tore Diotoir apart in both the Champion Clash and Death or Glory rumbles.

## Robot History

### Volume 1 Pilot

**Diotoir vs Smidsy vs Rusty vs Dantomkia**

The fight started with everyone picking a target and charging at each other. Everyone decided to gang up on Diotoir and threw it onto the arena barrier. Rusty then locked horns with Smidsy while Dantomkia threw Diotoir out of the arena. After a few seconds, Rusty had Smidsy on the ropes in the corner and prepared to drive it into the pit only for Dantomkia to come in from behind and threw Rusty out of the arena. Dantomkia then attempted and failed to flip Smidsy which proved to be its last mistake. Smidsy punished this lack of weapon power by throwing Dantomkia out of the arena.

### Volume 1

    **Diotoir vs Rusty vs Smidsy**
The fight started with Rusty and Smidsy charging at each other and missing. Rusty then got under Smidsy and rammed it into the wall, but shortly after Smidsy got under Rusty for a short time. Somewhere in those first few seconds of chaos, Diotoir drove over the pit cover and got it's wedge stuck on the floor seam when it turned around. (Diotoir was NOT stuck **on top** of the pit cover, it was off to the side) Rusty was now being brutal to Smidsy as it wouldn't let Smidsy have a break and kept ramming it into the wall. Smidsy then got under Rusty which then drove over it. Rusty recovered and activated the pit which freed Diotoir. Shortly after, Rusty then rammed Smidsy from across the arena. Smidsy then went after Diotoir (finally) and rammed it into the wall. Rusty then went for an attack on Smidsy and almost ended up pushing Diotoir into the pit. Ultimately, Rusty advanced to the next round while Smidsy and Diotoir were sent to the redemption fights.

**Diotoir vs Donald Thump**

The fight started with Donald Thump charging at Diotoir and getting flipped by it. Diotoir could've taken the easy KO but decided to show mercy instead and righted Donald Thump. Diotoir then slammed Donald Thump into the wall. Eventually, Donald Thump got stuck on the pit cover and fell in when Diotoir activated the pit. Diotoir advanced to the next round while Donald Thump was sent to the Robot Rampage.

**Diotoir vs Bane**

The fight started with Bane slamming into Diotoir and then getting pushed around before spinning up. Later, Diotoir activated the pit which spelled trouble for Bane. The rest of the fight was Diotoir bullying Bane until Diotoir pushed Bane into the pit. Diotoir advanced to the next round while Bane was sent to the Robot Rampage.

**Diotoir vs Sting**

The fight started with Diotoir flipping Sting. Sting got up to speed and slapped Diotoir in the eye. Eventually, Diotoir opened the pit. The rest of the fight was Sting slapping Diotoir at speed and Diotoir trying to land a decent hit. The fight went to a judges decision where Sting won because of damage and agression. Sting advanced to the Grand Final while Diotoir 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 flipped 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.

### International Inferno

    **Diotoir vs Air Strike**
House Robot: Matilda

Diotoir and Air Strike begun the match by seemingly battling with their controls. Matilda decided to intercept and carelessly got flipped by the floor flipper, followed by Diotoir being tossed over by the flipper as well from a failed charge attempt. After a few nudges by Matilda and the countdown, Diotoir was deemed immobilised as it had no self-righting mechanism after an underwhelming 15 seconds. Notably, Diotoir and Air Strike has only hit each other once throughout the match.

### Whiteboard Christmas

**Diotoir vs Bronco vs Witch Doctor**

All three robots clashed in the middle of the arena. Diotoir spun around and rammed into Bronco and Bronco retaliated with a flip. Witch Doctor activated the pit and both robots were close to the pit for a second before driving away. Once both robots distanced themselves from each other, Bronco got caught on the floor flipper and was overturned. Bronco shrugged it off and the red fur bot proceeded to ram it from the side. Witch Doctor charged towards Diotoir. Witch Doctor managed to push Diotoir onto the floor flipper and the red fur bot was flipped over. Diotoir landed on its back beside the pit. Since Diotoir could not self-right, Witch Doctor pitted Diotoir with no problem. Witch Doctor immobilised Bronco on the side of an arena wall by shoving after Bronco got its wedge stuck underneath the floor flipper.

### Battle of the Builders 3

    **Diotoir vs Gruffalo**
House Robot: Matilda

Fighting for Team OrangeDoseOverJuice in the builders' rematch, it had to deal with another vertical spinner. As Gruffalo swerved to its right, Diotoir moved and aimed itself in the opponent's direction. Diotoir rammed into Gruffalo, unphased by the spinning blade of Gruffalo. Diotoir managed to get Gruffalo onto the pit. Diotoir turned to face Gruffalo and ripped off an armour plate from Gruffalo. Unfortunately, Diotoir was stuck on the pit. It struggled to drive over the lip of the pit. Luckily, Gruffalo accidentally provoked Matilda. Gruffalo decide to then used its rear to shove Diotoir while it is still on the pit.

The roused Matilda lifted Diotoir up and shoving it free from the edges of the pit. Diotoir set its comical sight on its idle enemy and delivered a strong, rushing blow to the front of Gruffalo. Diotoir went ahead to faceplant itself onto the wall for a while before Gruffalo got flipped by the floor flipper from careless driving. Gruffalo was able to land on its wheel in a corner patrol zone but Matilda did not forget and punished it by removing a wheel off the robot. Diotoir allowed Matilda to overturn Gruffalo with its tusk. The red Irish bot detached another wheel from Gruffalo with its disc. After the robot got pummeled by both Matilda and Diotoir, it was lifted and placed on its side against the wall. Matilda slammed Gruffalo until it was out of the arena through the gap between the wall and the arena gate. giving Diotoir the knockout victory to break its losing streak.

Score: twopennymilk 5 - 5 OrangeDoseOverJuice

### Tinsel Torment

#### Mayhem

**Diotoir vs Jester vs Eric**

Jester quickly curved in Eric's direction. Diotoir drove and got itself stuck on the pit cover. Matilda flipped Diotoir over and Jester released the pit. Diotoir still fell back onto the ground, avoiding the pit for a moment. Matilda shoved Diotoir in, anyway. Jester would then pit Eric to win the match.

### Volume 2

    **Heat F**
**Diotoir vs Dash vs Liv 2 Riott**

The fight started with Diotoir and Liv 2 Riott spinning up and everyone slow out of the gate, picking their targets. Liv 2 Riott then recversed into the wall, causing its weapon motor to snap off its mounting. Diotoir then started to bully Liv 2 Riott around the arena before locking horns with Dash in a shoving match. As Stephen audibly lost it over Liv 2 Riott, Diotoir drove over the arena grate and got stuck before managing to free itself and take a few potshots at Dash. Diotoir then backed off and Liv 2 Riott got into a shoving match with Dash before backing off and letting Diotoir back Dash into the CPZ. After a few more pushes, the fight went to the judges where Diotoir was sent to the bronze rumble, Dash was sent to the Silver Rumble, and Liv 2 Riott won.

**Bronze Rumble**

**Diotoir vs Warhead vs Titan**

The fight started with Diotoir and Warhead spinning up and Diotoir instantly driving onto the floor flipper as Titan started delivering several axe attacks right onto Warhead's shiny spinning dome. Diotoir was thrown by the floor flipper, but landed upright as Warhead went to work tearing off Titan's forks. Titan refused to let up and that was its undoing as one of its axe attacks landed right on Warhead's tooth as it came around and snapped the spiked axe head off. Warhead then landed one last shot on Diotoir as it was counted out and put to rest. Titan was then violently thrown across the arena by the floor flipper, landing hard on the wall. However, Titan was tough and Warhead baited it back onto the floor flipper where it was thrown twice, but stayed in the arena and was still working. Eventually, Warhead managed to wedge Titan in between one of the short wall seams and Titan was stuck and counted out, giving the win to Warhead.

### Tinsel Torment 3

#### Flipper Frenzy

**Diotoir vs Apollo**

The fight started with both bots charging out of the gate and Diotoir ramping over the remodeled Apollo. The two bots then proceeded to run quick circles around each other before Apollo flipper Diotoir who quickly self righted just in time for Apollo to slam it into the pit tire at full speed, dropping the pit. Diotoir retreated and Apollo gave chase, flipping Diotoir onto its back, a hard place for Diotoir to self right from. Apollo flipped Diotoir again and Diotoir tried to self right properly, but ended up stranded on its back again. Apollo then attempted to throw Diotoir out of the arena, but the angle was wrong and Apollo ended up throwing Diotoir back onto its wheels instead and getting itself stuck on the short wall. Diotoir attempted to throw Apollo out of the arena in retaliation, but failed and was thrown onto its back yet again. Diotoir started frantically firing its flipper in an attempt to knock itself over, but Apollo charged in, carried Diotoir across the arena and effortlessly threw it out for the win.

#### Legends

**Diotoir vs Wild Thing**

The fight started with Wild Thing charging in and flipping Diotoir onto its back out of the gate. Wild Thing followed this up by slamming Diotoir into the wall and suplexing it. The two then jostled for position until Wild Thing tipped Diotoir onto its back again. The entire fight was Wild Thing bullying Diotoir around the arena until Diotoir was killed by the floor flipper. Wild Thing then proceeded to add insult to injury by throwing Diotoir out of the arena.

#### House Robot Rebellion

**Diotoir vs Sgt. Bash**

The fight started with both bots jostling for position and Diotoir landing several flip attempts onto Sgt. Bash. Sgt. Bash then opened the pit in an effort to end the fight early and it paid off as Diotoir's squirrely drive sent it down the pit with a well timed juke from Sgt. Bash.

### Volume 3

**Heat A**

**Diotoir vs Nessie vs Audacious**

The fight started with Diotoir and Nessie locking horns in a shoving match that ended with Nessie slammed into Audacious who hadn't yet left its starting arrow. This slam also caused Diotoir to top itself onto its back. Nessie then drove over the floor flipper and was thrown onto its side. Diotoir managed to self right during the replay and righted Nessie. The two then proceeded to bully Audacious who never really got going before Diotoir dropped the pit while Audacious was halfway on top of it. Nessie finished the job, pushing Audacious down the pit and eliminating it before driving down the pit itself, sending Diotoir to the Champion Clash.

**Champion Clash**

**Diotoir vs Nexus vs Entropy**

The fight started with Entropy spinning up and the two flippers heading towards the pit button, unsure what to do while Entropy picked a target. Entropy went after Diotoir and proceeded to tear apart Diotoir's flipping arm. Entropy then picked apart Diotoir and killed it before leaving its corpse to rot as it was counted out and Entropy locked horns with Nexus. While Entropy was dismantling Diotoir, Nexus dropped the pit and this worked to its advantage as Entropy had managed to find a previously unknown weak point and started to throw around the reining champion like nothing. During the battle, Entropy had gyroed back into the pit where Nexus could finish it off, putting Nexus into the heat final.

**Death or Glory**

**Diotoir vs Jungle Man vs Entropy**

The fight started with Entropy spinning up and instantly putting its new wedge to use by tearing the side panel off of Diotoir before picking apart its duct taped flipping arm again. Jungle Man came in from behind and locked horns with Entropy before attempting to flip it. That was Jungle Man's fatal mistake as Entropy managed to catch the flipping arm as it came up, casually punting Jungle Man out of the arena as the flipping arm fractured. With one less target, Entropy proceeded to turn its attention to the battle damaged Diotoir. Entropy eventually killed half of Diotoir's drive before corralling it towards the open pit and pushing it in. Entropy was now in the Heat Final for a rematch against the reigning champion, Nexus.
