Pixiedust

* AWS 19
* AWS 10

**Pixiedust** was an antweight created by Oliver Steeples and was his second walker robot, being a successor to the famous Type-0. Pixiedust first appeared in AWS 10 and made frequent appearance until it was retired for being "outclassed" in AWS 19.

## Robot History

### AWS 10

In the first round, Pixiedust faced Firepower and Psycho Ant where it qualified alongside Psycho Ant.

   In the second round, Pixiedust faced Boris. Boris circled around Pixiedust, avoiding the deadly spinner as it span up to speed. Eventually, Boris went in with an initial charge, use the scoop wedge to nullify the damage, but this was not the case as the charge resulted in the scoop being torn off. A second attack from Pixiedust resulted in the wheel coming off, leaving Boris immobile.

In the Quarter Finals, Pixiedust faced Dominant where it lost.

### AWS 11

In the first round, Pixiedust faced Militant where it lost.

### AWS 12

In the first round, Pixiedust faced Ramps and Savage. The opponents were more interested in each other, but ramp soon bumped it and Pixiedust delivered a strong blow to Savage. Ramps then rammed Pixiedust so hard the walker flew into a trench, where it was eliminated.

Pixiedust also competed in the Tag team with Cannon Fodder and their first opponents were Chimera and a robot Pixiedust fought already: reigning champ Militant. Pixiedust crept slowly forward when Chimera was toppled and Cannon Fodder lost a wheel to Militant. With its partner down Pixiedust found itself attacked by Militant. Pixiedust repelled Militant each time they made contact, but Militant managed to get underneath the shell and rip some pieces away. Pixiedust froze up after, and because of it, both Pixiedust and Cannon Fodder lost.

### AWS 13

In the first round, Pixiedust faced Headache and Devil's Advocate. Headache charged into Devil's Advocate and used it hammer to attack, doing so caused Headache to flip out due to the force and velocity of the hammer traction. Headache, flipped itself over which allowed Devil's Advocate to come forward and push Headache towards the edge of the arena. Here, Headache self righted but leaped even closer. Headache, was now hanging off the edge which allowed Devil's Advocate to finish off the job. Pixiedust therefore qualified with Devil's Advocate.

In the second round, Pixiedust faced Nigel, Entrant and Ramsy. Nigel had drive problems and almost backed off the arena as both Entrant and Ramsy ganged up on Pixiedust. Ramsy got underneath Pixiedust and for a while did nothing as it struggled to gain traction. Ramsy then flipped Pixiedust over which resulted in the domed robot rolling off the arena, so it was out.

### AWS 15

In the first round, Pixiedust faced Red Eye, Combat Ant and Smartant 2 where it was eliminated alongside Smartant 2.

### AWS 16

    In the first round, first leg, Pixiedust faced Rampant. Pixiedust remained where it stood as Rampant charged into it but was propelled away by the impact of the full body spinner. Pixidust walked around in a circular fashion while spinning as Rampant continuously darted into the full body spinner, suffering damage and being battered away. This continued until Rampant slammed in and was sent towards the arena edge, tilting before backing up and falling off.

    In the second leg of the first round, Pixiedust faced Halo. Pixiedust remained at it spot spinning up to speed as Halo tentatively drew closer. Halo attempted to charge into Pixiedust but was sent flying away, leaving a gash across the front. Pixiedust walked towards the edge of the arena as Halo chased afterwards, attempting charge into it but being smacked away each time. Halo was almost knocked out of the arena as its claw is buckled from attacking Pixiedust. Halo then attempted to back into Pixiedust which works for a short while before Pixiedust's spinning caused a wheel to be torn from Halo. Halo now immobile on one side is slashed by Pixiedust, who crumples the front wedge and damages the claw.

    In the second round, Pixiedust faced Antrax. Pixiedust spun as Antrax approached, Antrax took its time to get close and upon doing so was sent backwards with brief sparks emerging from the scoop during the impact. Antrax came back for a second attack, and upon touching Pixiedust, Pixiedust was sent flying through its own gyro and rolled off the arena.

Pixiedust wasn't finished yet and joined the spinner melee with Zenith, Anticyclone and DBA Evo. Pixiedust didn't get to do much at first, but DBA Evo attacks it and almost flicked out of the arena. It then accidentally backs up into the wall which pinballs and almost flips it, landing beside an incapacitated Zenith, but wasn't moving. Obviously, DBA Evo wins.

### AWS 17

In the first round, Pixiedust faced Kwijebo and Bigshot. Although not much information is known from the fight, it is known that heavy damage was sustained to Pixiedust which resulted in the whole spinner body shell being split in half.

### AWS 19

In the first round, Pixiedust faced Ratio Atque Usus. The fight did not go well for Pixiedust at first as the spinner stopped working almost immediately. As a result, Ratio Atque Usus began to push against Pixiedust with no trouble, except that Pixiedust was heavy and was more able to stand its ground. The fight became a long tedious pushing match with neither getting anywhere. In the end Pixiedust was award the win to a dull match.

    In the second round, Pixiedust faced Dynamite. Pixiedust's spinner worked this time, however, Dynamite was aggressive and charged into it. Whilst the impacts sent Dynamite away it was always on the attack and attempting to ricochet Pixiedust towards the edge, whilst suffering damage itself. Dynamite lost control from one wheel but pursued Pixiedust further before pinning it against the arena corner. Dynamite then nudged Pixiedust away and towards the arena edge, slamming it a few times before finally shunting Pixiedust off.
