## Fight history

### **Hexbug Hell season 1**

#### Witch Doctor V3 vs Bronco

The fight started very poorly for Bronco as they could not turn much at all which meant they could not match Witch Doctor's speed and maneuverability. When Witch Doctor was able to be flipped, the flips were very poorly timed which meant that they missed. Eventually Bronco managed to get a flip on Witch Doctor which landed them against the wall, but they escaped. The rest of the fight consisted of Bronco being poorly driven and Witch Doctor outmaneuvering them and getting good pushes on Bronco. The fight went the distance and Witch Doctor won a unanimous judges decision.

#### Witch Doctor V3 vs Witch Doctor V1

The fight started with both robots charging at each other and missing. V1 then reversed into V3 and pushed it into the wall. The entire fight was tricky maneuvering combined with brute forcing each other into the walls. It went to a judges decision where V3 won.

#### Witch Doctor V3 vs BYOB Disc

The fight started with a box rush from Witch Doctor that slightly lifted the disc. The disc retaliated by taking off Witch Doctor's back panel and wedge in quick succession. The disc buffeted Witch Doctor around for a little bit before taking its ribs off. The rest of the fight was the disc tossing around Witch Doctor. The fight went to a judges decision where the disc won.

#### Witch Doctor V3 vs Lumaside

Witch Doctor V3 waited for Lumaside to spin up to full speed and then rammed it which took the weapon off. Witch Doctor then took off one of Lumaside's panels with a very aggressive push with its weapon cranking and then took off the other panel when Lumaside turned around. The rest of the fight was both bots pushing each other around. Lumaside then managed to get Witch Doctor hung up on its own blade which was still on the arena floor. Witch Doctor was counted out and was now out of the competition.

### **Hexbug Hell Quarantine Edition**

#### Rumble 1

Number of robots: 13 (14 if you count Thunder and Lightning seperately)

The fight started with everyone spinning up. When everyone met in the middle, all hell broke loose. Lumaside, Tombstone, Minotaur, the BYOB Silver Drum, and the BYOB Disc immediately lost parts while Lumaside was lifted on top of Supernova. The BYOB Silver Drum quickly lost its other panel to Bite Force while Lumaside, Witch Doctor V3, Supernova, and Lightning were fighting each other. While this was happening, another group was formed from Minotaur, The Berg, Gigabyte, and Thunder. The groups then spit apart and all the robots went after someone else. Lumaside then spun up and delivered a shot to Lightning. While the group of Witch Doctor V1, the BYOB Silver Drum, the BYOB Disc, Lumaside, Thunder, and Witch Doctor V3 were slugging it out, Gigabyte got its weapon going and charged The Berg, and Bite Force tangled with the BYOB FBS. Bite Force then went after Tombstone while Witch Doctor V3 went after Supernova and Minotaur. By this point, Supernova and Tombstone were fighting it out while most of the robots had formed a group in the corner. By the time that the group had largely broken up, it was abundantly clear that Thunder was suffering from Drive problems. Bite force was going after Gigabyte while being harassed by Witch Doctor V1. Lumaside, Supernova, and the BYOB Disc teamed up for a pincer attack on Tombstone. Lightning pressed an attack on the BYOB FBS which caused it to lose a tread. The Berg was briefly trapped in a mass of discarded panels and other robots before it freed itself. Witch Doctor V1 came in from behind and tried to remove Thunder's armor panel, but ultimately failed and moved on to find their next prey. The final 10 seconds began being counted down and everyone got desperate as a result. Tombstone quickly went after the BYOB Disc and bounced off of it, but no further offenses came from anyone because the fight was ***over***. After a few days of deliberation and rewatching, Lumakid100 decided that the winner of this fight was Bite Force due to it being the most active throughout the fight and most dominant in the shoving matches that ensued.

#### Rumble 3

Number of robots: 8 (9 if you count Thunder and Lightning seperately)

The fight started with everyone spinning up and meeting in the middle. In the first hit, a pincer attack from both BYOB Drums took off Witch Doctor V3's top panel and rear bumper while a combined effort from Thunder and Lightning took off all of Witch Doctor V1's panels. Thunder's top panel was coming loose, but Lighning pushed it back into place. When the group split, Bite Force took a panel from the BYOB Orange Drum while Minotaur took off its own top panel. Both Witch Doctors were attacking Thunder while Lightning was attempting to remove Bite Force's top panel. When the Witch Doctors let go of Thunder, it left to take on the BYOB Orange Drum which was pinned to the wall by The Berg, Witch Doctor V3, and Thunder. Soon after, the BYOB Silver Drum took off one of Minotaur's side panels. Bite Force then attempted to take off Thunder's top panel. The BYOB Orange Drum then managed to take off Bite Force's top panel. It was at this point where Thunder's drive problems struck which left Thunder only able to crabwalk for the rest of the fight. Despite this, Thunder still managed to pin The Berg into the wall. Bite Force then took off the BYOB Orange Drum's last panel while it was experiencing weapon problems. The Orange Drum's weapon was then taken off by Minotaur while Lightning's top panel fell off from all the abuse it took from this fight. Mere moments after that, Thunder lost its top panel to Minotaur. Minotaur was then pinned onto a discarded side panel by the BYOB Silver Drum. Minotaur was eventually freed during the final 10 seconds when Witch Doctor V1 pushed the BYOB Silver Drum into Minotaur. However, a few seconds earlier before Minotaur was pinned, the BYOB Orange Drum pushed Lightning onto a discarded top panel which stranded it. Lightning was never freed and that gave the BYOB Orange Drum the win via KO count.

#### Rumble 6

Number of robots: 18 (19 if you count Thunder and Lightning seperately)

The fight started with every spinner spinning up and every flipper and hammer priming their weapon. When everyone met in the middle, Bronco tried to flip Witch Doctor V1, but failed. A fairly large group continued to harass Bronco for some time. Bronco then escaped and flipped the BYOB FBS. After that Bronco went after the BYOB Disc who wasn't keen on letting history repeat itself. Bite Force then redirected Bronco into the wall while it was having small drive problems. While this was happening, Mr. Shellshock was being targeted by Witch Doctor V1, The Berg, and SOKhaos. Meanwhile, the BYOB Axe targeted Bronco and made the fatal mistake of driving in front of it. The BYOB Axe was flipped, had trouble self righting, and Bronco threw it out of the arena. Bronco went after Lumaside next and quickly dispatched it by throwing it out of the arena. Bronco then tried to throw Supernova out of the arena, but Minotaur drove under it as it was being flipped. Bronco then flipped Minotaur and that managed to get Supernova off of it and out of the arena. Bronco then went after the BYOB FBS which was long gone at this point and was pushed over to Bronco's wall. Bronco quickly threw out the BYOB FBS, then flipped Tombstone. Bronco then went after Bite Force who was boxed in, and threw it out too. The fight went to a judges decision where Bronco won due to having the highest KO count.

### **Hexbug Hell Quarantine Annihilator**

#### Round 1

(18 robots)

The fight started with everyone either spinning up or priming their weapon. When they met in the middle, panels flew everywhere from multiple weapons hitting them at the same time. When the group split, Thunder and Lightning were pressurizing Minotaur and Lumaside while Thunder was rammed from behind by Witch Doctor V3. While this was happening, The Berg's side panel was compromised and hanging by a thread. When the groups split, Bronco flipped Beta who then self righted. Tombstone then attacked Bronco as its flipper was retracting from a flip attempt on Mr. Shellshock, this resulted in Bronco clamping down onto Tombstone's bar which prompted an unstick. After the unstick, Blacksmith started Targeting Bronco. Bronco was then boxed into the wall by Witch Doctor V1 who Bronco then targeted. Witch Doctor V3 tried to save Witch Doctor V1 by ramming Bronco as it was flipping Witch Doctor V1, but it was too late as Bronco had already pinned Witch Doctor V1 on top of the wall. Bronco then flipped Witch Doctor V1 onto its back as it was being pushed away by Witch Doctor V3. The now immobile Witch Doctor V1 was then targeted by the BYOB Flipper in an attempt to throw it out of the arena. While this was happening, Bronco then targeted and flipped Mr. Shellshock as time ran out. The fight went to a judges decision where Witch Doctor V1 was eliminated due to being immobilized first. Witch Doctor V1 was now out.

#### Round 2

(17 robots)

After that, Bronco targeted and flipped the BYOB Silver drum. Bronco then threw the BYOB Silver drum out of the arena to seal the deal. The BYOB Silver Drum was now out.

#### Round 3

(16 robots)

The fight started with everyone trying to get in position for the ideal strike. Bite Force easily took off the BYOB Orange drum's weapon which reduced the BYOB Orange Drum to nothing more than a pusher.

Bronco then flipped The Berg where it was hung up on its top panel and couldn't self right. The Berg was counted out and eliminated from the competition.
