Mini B

## Overview

Mini B, built by AlexTheHunted, is an antweight counterpart to Behemoth that competed in Robot Wars and it is not to be confused with Anty B, an antweight version of Behemoth, made by Team MakeRobotics themselves, which participated in Robot Wars Extreme Series 1 & 2: Antweight Championship. Mini B is a robot based on a bulldozer design with yellow and black hazard stripes with a lifting bucket scoop as its weapon. Its pair of self-righting arms extends only by raising its scoop.

Mini B started off poorly in Tinsel Torment and had the misfortune of having Nexus in its battle twice. It had a great showing in Tinsel Torment 2's Flipper Frenzy before being the runner-up in Volume 2. It is known for its frequent Out of the Arena flips on opponents but its drive is average.

## Robot History

### Tinsel Torment

#### Mayhem

**Mini B vs Weld-Dor vs Smidsy**

Mini B was first wedged under by Weld-Dor and rammed into the corner as Smidsy followed behind. Mini B flipped Weld-Dor away but it was easily shrugged off. When Smidsy attempted to approach Mini B, it became stuck on the arena grid. SMIDSY was overturned by Mini B, who was then grabbed by Weld-Dor's arm and dragged away. Mini B managed to free itself from the arms with its flipper. However, Weld-Dor continued with the attack and slammed Mini B into the side gate. Smidsy charged at them both, breaking Weld-Dor's grip. Unfortunately, Mini B then flipped Smidsy onto the side gate, causing him to rest diagonally on it. Weld-Dor collided with Smidsy, but Mini B intercepted and nearly flipped Smidsy out of the arena. Smidsy fell backwards from the scoop to the floor.

Mini B evaded another grab from Weld-Dor so Smidsy was the one to be rammed into. The keen Weld-Dor still pinned Mini B to the wall but Mini B tossed it over and attempted an OOTA. Smidsy interfered with the flip and as Mini B tried to gain some distance, it got hold the Christmas lights with its retracted flipper. Weld-Dor started playing with inverted Smidsy and activated the pit in the process. Mini B failed a flip onto both robots. All three robots dismounted from one another soon after. Mini B could only avoid Weld-Dor's pursuit for a short time before being grabbed and released by the arms. Mini B retaliated with a flip and actually got Weld-Dor stuck upside down under its flipper. Smidsy saw the opportunity and shoved Mini B towards the pit but missed by a margin. As Weld-Dor closed in, Smidsy rammed Mini B into the wall in the opposite corner. Smidsy was caught off guard and was snatched away by Weld-Dor before being slammed.

Mini B tossed Weld-Dor to the side gate, where Smidsy was trying to flip the antweight bulldozer with its lifting jaw. Smidsy then chased Weld-Dor and intercepted another back-and-forth assault between it and Mini B. Weld-Dor was able to heave Mini B up and nearly wheelied it into the pit. Without hesitation, Smidsy barged in and more flips and grabs were exchanged. The three robots brought the battle over to the top left corner, then to the top right and back to the top left. Weld-Dor finally got a secure grip onto Mini B's side before wiggling Mini B off from its arms and into the pit. Very shortly after, Weld-Dor pitted both Smidsy and itself with quick control.

#### Tag Team Terror

**Thunder Wing Doom Slayer & Mini B vs Sting & Smidsy**

House Robot: Matilda

The rookie tag team had to duke it out with the Sting, a seasoned competitor, and Smidsy, the champion of Series 1. Both teams engaged in combat and Thunder Wing Doom Slayer seemed to be flailing around its card wedge near Matilda. Behemoth performed a few stray flips before Smidsy attempted a ram on it, which was countered with a swift toss by the scoop. Like Thunder Wing Doom Slayer, Sting was not involved in the battle. Mini B was stuck on the pit, struggling to escape the edges. Smidsy went to knock it once before switching its focus to Thunder Wing Doom Slayer while it somehow got stuck under the flipper. Smidsy failed to push the pit release tire properly and fled away once Matilda approached it. Smidsy shoved his aloof teammate away  Before Smidsy could to close in on the trapped axlebot, Mini B rushed in to halt the rambot. Sting finally tried to swing its mace but Mini B evaded it and continued its tussle with Smidsy.

The bucket scoop managed a good flip on Smidsy. Another mishap occured and Mini B was now stuck on the arena grill. Thunder Wing Doom Slayer was all the while remaining stuck under the floor flipper before breaking free. As Smidsy wandered near Mini B, who was frantically flipping to get itself out of the grill, Thunder Wing Doom Slayer pushed the rambot away. Matilda charged towards Mini B but it luckily got out just in time. Sting was in pursuit of the bulldozer antweight now but was quickly intercepted by Thunder Wing Doom Slayer's wide body. Matilda freed herself from the grid soon after and Smidsy activated the pit. Thunder Wing Doom Slayer and Sting started attacking each other before separating away from the corner. The inverted Smidsy backed against the thwackbot. Mini B managed to get itself stuck on the grill yet again as his teammate was getting flipped by the floor flipper. Thunder Wing Doom Slayer arrived to assist Mini B, and Matilda continued its assault. Mini B was then pushed out as a result from a collision between Matilda, Smidsy and Thunder Wing Doom Slayer.

Mini B missed a couple of stealthy flips on smidsy. Not long after, both Thunder Wing Doom Slayer and Sting were flung away by the floor flipper as a result of a good shove by the axlebot. Meanwhile, Mini B quickly overturned Matilda and resumed its offensive against Smidsy, inadvertently throwing its partner aside with its scoop. Thunder Wing Doom Slayer was rammed into the corner by Smidsy and as a return of favour, Mini B shoved the opponent away. Sting began spinning up and striking Mini B into the wall. Mini B self-righted efficiently after a driving error landed it on the floor flipper. Mini B flipped Smidsy into the direction of Thunder Wing Doom Slayer before attempting to toss its partner away from the opposing tag team. Smidsy fortunately received another flip to right itself and quickly removed Sting from under the scoop of Mini B. The tag teams started roaming about in the corner before Smidsy mightily pushed the other three robots into the opposite corner. As Sting tried to spin up again, Mini B lightly nudged it into the pit. Thunder Wing Doom Slayer was able to slide under Smidsy with the use of the card. Matilda somehow self-righted off-screen and kept Mini B away from Smidsy and his partner; it simply flipped her away on its back.

Mini B and Thunder Wing Doom Slayer trapped Smidsy between themselves and the upended Matilda. Blessed with luck, Mini B was able to place Smidsy upright with a flip. Smidsy, stuck vertically on its rear, was then counted out as Thunder Wing Doom Slayer and Mini B celebrated their upset victory with their cavorting.

**Thunder Wing Doom Slayer & Mini B vs Rusty & Nexus**

House Robot: Matilda

The Tag Team Finals match started with Nexus flipping Mini B and Thunder Wing Doom Slayer and Rusty released the pit. Nexus began having a shoving contest with Mini B before Rusty reversed into the antweight bulldozer to the wall, using its self-righter tail. Nexus flipped both of them before Rusty scurried off. Thunder Wing Doom Slayer started driving over Rusty, entangling them before they got launched near the pit by the floor flipper. Rusty decided to drive into the pit, taking down the axlebot with it.

Meanwhile, Nexus and Mini B continued to flip each other and circling around Matilda in the corner. Mini B was able to deliver a good flip, overturning the mean red flipper and watched it try to self-right frantically. Both Matilda and Mini B came to right Nexus themselves. Soon after, Mini B got beached momentarily and withstood the spinner hits from Matilda. Nexus retreated near the pit area. Mini B carelessly drove themselves into the pit after receiving a gentle flip by the floor flipper; handing the other team the championship title.

#### Vengeance

**Mini B vs Tornado vs Nexus**

All three machines approached one another and Nexus started flipping both Tornado and Mini B. The two other robots started locking together before a flip interfered. Mini B retaliated with a flip of its own, only to receive a near-out of the arena flip as Tornado slid under Nexus. Continuing the barrage of flips, Nexus let Mini B be stuck on the arena grill while Tornado escaped. Nexus flipped both robots repeatedly without much resistance. Tornado did a few nudges onto a high-centered Mini B before it self-righted. Nexus tossed the scooping antweight around while Tornado tried to stay away. Mini B drove in an arc, getting itself stuck on the edge of the pit and fell in after a fruitless raise of the scoop. Tornado was eventually flipped out of the arena and Nexus got the win.

### Tinsel Torment 2

#### Flipper Frenzy

**Mini B vs P1 vs Wild Thing**

All three antweights drove into a corner and clashed. Mini B was turned over by the floor flipper as it tried to flee from the corner. Wild Thing failed to take advantage as it knocked it back onto its wheel. The scoop tossed Wild Thing on its rear near the side wall. Mini B was able to slide Wild Thing through the gap between the arena gate and a corner wall and flip it out of the arena.

        Meanwhile, P1's wheels were snared by the arena grid before it was freed by Mini B, who would take its place to get stuck. After so many flailing flips, the bulldozer antweight was pushed aside for P1 to be trapped on the grid and lose its spoiler. Mini B then overthrew the racecar antweight twice, having it stuck flipping onto a corner wall. P1 was subjected to more flips but was able to self-right each time. P1 shoved Mini B towards the pit and missed its flip. In retaliation, Mini B overturned P1 next to the wheel as a trap. More control issues occured before P1 was freed by the other. P1 escaped from the corner after taking another flip. It was the same routine and a moment was spent near the pit until Mini B pushed P1 out of the arena with a flip through another gap.
