Orange Explosion

Season 4

Orange Explosion is a robot that has competed in all 4 seasons of Lego Battlebots. Originally a custom bot by **Battlebots Explained**, every version of it has been a mostly orange 4 wheel drive bot armed with a powerful spinning drum and 2 front wedges. For a bot that is prone to being flipped, it does fairly well, as it has currently both won and lost 6 battles. Although it has never had a winning record, it tends to do well in tournaments, getting to the round of 16 in Seasons 1 and 2, but losing in the first round of S3.

Orange Explosion's main problem is that it cannot self-right, and this led it to being flipped over, then thrown out of the arena, at least once in every season; this includes getting tossed out by **Flipjob** in Season 1 in just six seconds, a fight might which previously held the Lego record for fastest fight.

It kicked off its career with a 1-2 record before entering Season 1.

### Robot History

#### Season 1

Orange Explosion was given the 22 seed for Season 1, and as a result faced the 11 seed, **Valkyrie**. The fight started out kinda boring as Valkyrie kit Orange Explosion but did no damage. The fight started to get interesting, though, when Orange Explosion, with a deflect, propped Valkyrie up. Valkyrie then ripped off a wedge of Orange Explosion. Orange Explosion then got Valkyrie into the screws, and drove it into the corner. Orange Explosion then hit Valkyrie with its drum, soon pinning it.

In the Round of 16, Orange Explosion faced the 6 seed, **Flipjob**. Flipjob immediately flipped Orange Explosion over and threw it out.

#### Season 2

Orange Explosion returned for Season 2 as the 16 seed, and faced the 17 seed, Yorker. Orange Explosion rushed at Yorker, but lost a wedge. However, Orange Explosion had momentum, and pushed Yorker into the screws, flipping it and taking the knockout.

Orange Explosion went on to the round of 16 to face reigning champion End Game. The match didn't start out well for Orange Explosion as End Game immediately got under it and controlled it around the box. During the match's short period, Orange Explosion did not get a single good hit in; he was soon flipped, and was thrown out, very similar to what Flipjob did to it the season before.

#### Season 3

Orange Explosion returned for Season 3, and faced **Son of Whyachi**, **Destructobot**, and End Game. Early on, Son of Whyachi hit Destructobot, throwing it into Orange Explosion. Son of Whyachi then went for Orange Explosion, doing some big damage, taking off the wedges. Destructobot then flipped Son of Whyachi, and End Game then came in to flip Orange Explosion. End Game then threw Orange Explosion out of the arena.

#### Season 4

Orange Explosion returned for Season 4 and faced Typhoon 2 in its first match of the season. Typhoon 2 started out by taking a wedge off of Orange Explosion, but then Orange Explosion put Typhoon 2 in the screws, flipped it, and dislocated its base, moving to 1-0.

Orange Explosion then faced the fellow 1-0 **Jackpot**.

Both bots' weapons were spinning, and the two circled each other looking for an edge. Orange Explosion then got around to the side of Jackpot, putting it under the pulverizer; the pulverizer broke one of Jackpot's spinners. Orange Explosion then flipped Jackpot over, but flipped itself when it tried to go in for another attack. This caused Jackpot to be stuck on Orange Explosion.

An unstick was called, and both robots were righted. Orange Explosion resumed tearing into Jackpot, and ended up getting Jackpot stuck on the wall. As Jackpot was trying to self-right, it couldn't get enough momentum to get itself down, and since Orange Explosion was still mobile, he took the win and moved to 2-0.
Orange Explosion then fought Flipjob again. Flipjob did the same thing to Orange Explosion as he did in Season 1, and Flipjob had him out in under 20 seconds.

Orange Explosion then fought another 2-1 bot, this time in **Lucky**. Lucky tried to flip Orange Explosion over, but missed. Lucky got under Orange Explosion and pushed him into the wall. Lucky then tried to flip Orange Explosion over again, but whiffed; Orange Explosion then went to work, slowly tearing Lucky apart.
First it was the flipper, then the wedges. Orange Explosion then flipped Lucky and tore off a wheel. Orange Explosion took the win by KO and advanced to 3-1.

Orange Explosion will be in the tournament.
