## Robot History

### AWS 12

First appearing in the European championship, in the first round Electra faced Entrant and Odyssey. After Entrant flipped Odyssey it focused on Electra, who flings it over. Electra had the lower ramp and Entrant struggled to scoop it, almost doing so at the flank. Finally, Electra flipped Entrant onto its side who couldn't get out of it, and Electra qualified alongside Entrant.

In the second round, Electra faced Anteater. Anteater latches on and briefly got one pincer inside Electra when it was flailing, but caused no significant damage and Electra breaks free. Anteater grabs hold again and tries to push Electra to the trench, but fails. Anteater makes another attempt, and also gets its pincer in Electra again, but still fails to gain any advantage. Electra finally scoops up Anteater, but Anteater grabs hold so it couldn't be flung and the two balanced for a bit before Anteater releases. Electra was able to push Anteater and sends it down the trench. Electra won and moved to face Ant-Lion.

First Ant-Lion hammers Electra and flips it onto its rear and the two began shoving each other belly-to-belly. Electra got down though and nudges Ant-Lion to the trench, where it fell in and Electra was the winner.

In the Grand Final, Electra faced Dominant, Pants and Chroma. Electra started with Chroma and was flipped, though Chroma was flipped too. After self-righting it was attacked by Pants. Chroma then flips it on its side, though Dominant saves it, only for Chroma to flick it into the trench. Electra was the first to fall and eventually lost out to Chroma.

In the first round of the main competition, Electra faced Anto and Nigel. Electra homes in on the latter and flips it, and sends Nigel down the trench. It qualified alongside Anto.

In the second round, Electra faced Allikat and Terminator. It didn't get to do much and Terminator forced it into a trench, where it was eliminated.

Electra fought in a Grumble where it faced VX, Savage, R.O.N.N.Y., Ant-Lion (again), Antomkia, Void and Rebel. Electra tries to pick a target but gets flipped onto its rear by R.O.N.N.Y. VX then takes a bite out of it, but also helped it, however it got put on its side by Rebel, but self-rights. For a while it mainly drove around, but was scooped by Antomkia and flipped onto its rear, but fell back down. Again it didn't do much and Antomkia lifts it at one point, and after Antomkia flips VX, Electra scoops Antomkia and brings it to a trench, but Antomkia escapes. Then Antomkia drives around and flips Electra, who self-rights. Electra then pins Antomkia to the wall but couldn't flip it, though eventually succeeding. Antomkia self-rights though, but Electra was able to best it in the end by shoving it into the trench. Despite this both were declared the winners.

Electra then entered the Tag Team with Void, and their first opponents were Rebel and Antomkia. Electra chose to attack Rebel, who was much faster: constantly zipping away. Already Electra was now on its own as Void had been shoved into a trench by Antomkia who also attacks Electra. Electra briefly lifted Rebel, and was briefly scooped by Antomkia, then Rebel flicks it near the trench and nudges it in, so Void and Electra lose.

### AWS 13

In the first round of the European Championship, Electra faced OB1, Berserka and again Pants. Electra targeted Berserka and flipped Pants. It then got sandwiched by OB1, but escapes. Then it gets attacked by OB1, but Electra flips it and pushes OB1 into the trench, so Electra qualified alongside Pants and Berserka.

In the second round, Electra faced Berserka again. Berserka scoops Electra and grabs it, then pushes it into the trench, where it lost.

In the first round of the Under-16s, Electra faced OB1 again and Odyssey again. It didn't much do anything and OB1 pushed it into the trench where it was eliminated.

In the first round of the Main Championship, Electra faced Lower and Killsaw. Lower made an immediate charge towards Killsaw, hoping to stop the spinner, but Killsaw survived the ramming attack and turned as Electra came in from behind and tried to flip Lower. Lower continued to pursue Killsaw as Electra rammed into Lower, turning it and pushing it into the flywheel of Killsaw who tore one of Lower's wheels off, sending it in the air and over the robot. Electra lifted Lower and pushed it further into the flywheel of Killsaw however, Lower was unable to do anything and was completely immobile. Killsaw and Lower also got stuck and a timeout was declared to free them. It was successful, and Lower was deliberately placed on the edge of the trench due to having no desire to fight anymore. Killsaw struck Electra and both left Lower be, and Electra then shoves Killsaw off afterwards, though only Lower was eliminated (which it wanted).

In the second round, Electra faced Chronotrigger and Rampant. Chronotrigger charged into Rampant as Electra took a turn and slammed into the side of the pair of them. Electra then flipped Rampant and Chronotrigger over, with Rampant becoming side stranded due to the flat sides. Chronotrigger survived and backed away. Rampant was toppled back over as Electra flipped it some more and pushed it off, so Electra and Chronotrigger got to advance.

In the third round, Electra faced Ramsy and old rival Odyssey. Ramsy seemed to be having issues as it was sluggishly spinning in circles which allowed Odyssey to attempt to take advantage. However, Electra got behind and flipped away at Odyssey, but struggling to fully KO it. Odyssey's long body proved problematic as Electra pushed forth and eventually succeeded in lifting Odyssey out of the arena. It and Ramsy then moved on.

In the fourth round, Electra faced Chimera. Electra sped to the other side of the arena towards Chimera, flipping it once to topple Chimera over onto its side. Chimera, still walking, managed to edge itself closer to the edge where Electra gave the final push finishing it off, so Electra won.

In the quarterfinals, Electra faced Psycho Ant. Both robots slammed into each other and attempted to push one another. However, Psycho Ant was the lower wedge and pushed Electra back, Electra attempted to flip Psycho Ant but was unable to make an impact and was pushed back and eventually off. Electra was defeated.

### AWS 16

    In the first leg of the first round, Electra faced Zenith. Zenith got the quicker and more aggressive start, it smacked into Electra and with the flywheel scrapped 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.

In the second leg of the first round, Electra faced Anto-X. Electra charged in and flipped Anto-X immediately. Anto-X recovered and hooked round to the side of Electra, ramming it into the arena side wall. Anto-X then backed away before slamming into Electra again, pushing it across the arena and eventually out.

In the second round, Electra faced Vacuum. The battle was over very quickly as Vacuum simply charged into Electra and as Electra flipped, managed to topple Electra out of the arena.

### AWS 17

In the first round, Electra faced Entrant and Anteater where it was eliminated.

### AWS 18

    In the first round, Electra faced Smartant 1. Both robots slowly approached each other however, thanks to a quick turn and slam to the side of Electra, Smartant 1 was able to get a flip in, toppling Electra onto its side where it was unable to self-right, thus being counted out.

In the second round, Electra faced Marabunta 3 and Militant. Electra slowly targeted Marabunta 3 as it attempted to flip it but was caught by Marabunta's wedge. As the two fought, Militant came in with its spinner up to speed and smashed into Electra, throwing it towards the arena edge where it just about survived. Electra then charged into Militant but was sliced by the deadly spinner, sending it away with every impact. However, one impact by Militant caused it to ricochet away and out of the arena, leaving only Marabunta 3 and Electra. Electra turned and flipped Marabunta 3 before ramming it against the side wall, it backed away and over flipped itself where Marabunta 3 attempted to push Electra but Electra recovered. Marabunta 3 was then slammed against the arena wall and flipped over. The two robots went back and fourth in a pushing match with Electra flipping Marabunta 3 over every so often. After a long tedious match, Electra won on a judges' decision.

In the third round, Electra faced Dynamite. Dynamite charged straight out and drove up the flipper of Electra only to back away before Electra could flip. Dynamite swerved around the side of Electra, as it was turning and rammed the side to attempt to push Electra out. However, Electra backed away only for Dynamite to slam Electra into the side wall where Dynamite simply shunted Electra out.

Electra wasn't done though, it participated in a melee with Anto X, Antlifter, Anti-Bi-Botics, the fleaweight Blingy and Superant Ant Trap. Electra aimed for Ant trap but misses a flip. It does slightly lift Ant Trap, but also gets attacked by Anto X, so Electra turns to it, flipping it over Antlifter. Electra also lifted Antlifter, who was stuck circling after Anti-B-Botics ripped a wheel off. Ant Trap attacks Electra and flips it over, but Electra rights itself and lifts Ant Trap. Electra flips an immobile Antlifter over, then goes for Ant Trap again, almost flipping it into a trench. Electra does get Anti-Bi-Botics into the trench though, with a flip, and it forces Ant Trap closer, and gets it in too. Now only Anto X was left, who rams Electra into the wall. Electra retaliates with a flip and also flips Blingy over when it tries to attack. Electra also clamps the other half of Anti-Bi-Botics and flips Blingy again, and Anto X pushes Electra from behind. Electra retaliates with a flip and ignores Blingy's attack. It misses one flip and gets lifted onto its rear, and Anto X pushes it to a trench, but Electra pushes back, and neither were able to get the other into the trench. Electra, while still on its rear, gets into a pushing contest with Anto X, though neither could win. Electra rights itself and flicks the remaining Anti-Bi-Botics, then goes for Anto X again, flinging it a few times, and while against the wall, Electra finally manages to fling Anto X into the other trench, and despite Blingy showing life, it was clear Electra won.

Electra then fought in another melee with Void, reigning champion D.B.A. and Halo, complete with a toy of *Robot Wars'*  Growler. Electra started on D.B.A, but one hit sent both out the arena. Strangely though, this time competitors could be put back in the arena if they were removed, and both Electra and D.B.A were quickly helped out by their drivers. Electra then targeted Halo but gets scooped by Void. Electra then flips D.B.A onto its back, and another flip bounces it around the arena. Electra was flipped over from this but self-rights, and it again attacks D.B.A, but once again D.B.A sends both Electra and itself into trenches, which left Void as last bot standing.

Electra and D.B.A. were still not done though, and the next melee pitted them against Anticipation, Pants, Antlifter again, Hinge, Kwijebo and again Halo, though Antlifter withdrew and swapped with Smartant. It was attacked by Pants who flips it over, but self-rights and flicks Halo. It also tries to flip Pants and sends Kwijebo bouncing around. It then flips Halo, and Pants again. It tries to flip Hinge but fails, and Hinge pushes it off the arena, and was the winner in the end.

Electra got to do one more melee with Antlifter (again), Cannon Fodder, Halo (again), Hinge (again) and superant Super Antrax. It tries to lift Antlifter, and then goes for Cannon Fodder, flipping it which propels Cannon Fodder on its disc to a trench. Electra then squares off with Super Antrax, which was a mistake as Super Antrax sends it into a trench. It was left there for a while but eventually gets helped out. It attacks Super Antrax, flipping it, then flips Cannon Fodder three times. It also sustained damage to its flipper as one hinge was broken, making the flipper flop when activated. It gets flipped itself by Cannon Fodder, and though it tries to self-right, its broken hinge likely was preventing it, and Halo shoves it back into the trench. It lost to Halo in the end.
