## Robot History

### AWS 60

In it's first AWS fight, Push Comes to Shove fought Sun, a flipper. Sun was quickly pushed into the pit.

Push Comes to Shove then fought The Fursuit of Happiness, another shovebot. The Fursuit of Happiness immediately got underneath Push Comes to Shove and pushed it into the pit.

Now in the losers bracket, Push Comes to Shove then fought Have You Tried Turning It Off and On Again?, a wedge shaped shovebot. After a bit of pushing and shoving either way, Push Comes to Shove pushed Have You Tried Turning It Off and On Again? across the arena and into the pit.

The next fight was against See-It. Say-It. Saw-Ted, a robot with an overhead cutting disc, and the first time any robot from Team Tomb had fought a spinner of any kind. After making a few cuts into the top of Push Comes to Shove, See-It. Say-It. Saw-Ted was pushed sideways into the pit, grinding against the arena wall as it was pushed.

In the next fight, Push Comes to Shove fought former AWS champions RBMK, an unusual robot with 4 spinning bars and powered by gyroscopic forces. Push Comes to Shove tried to box rush RBMK, but got stuck on the arena floor halfway, allowing RBMK's spinners to get up to speed. RBMK started walking across the floor, before being pushed backwards into the corner. Push Comes to Shove then pinned RBMK in the corner, before getting clipped and thrown over RBMK, over the wall and into the pit. The impact split the top and bottom halves of Push Comes to Shove apart, meaning the chassis had to be completely rebuilt for AWS 61.

### AWS 61

In it's first fight, Push Comes to Shove fought Angory Track, another shovebot, but with tracks instead of wheels. Angory Track tried to push Push Comes to Shove, but kept driving over the top of it. Push Comes to Shove then started pushing Angory Track around, until one of the tracks came off and Angory Track drove into the pit.

In it's next battle, Push Comes to Shove fought Failure to Launch, a rear-hinged flipper. They generally pushed each other around, until Push Comes to Shove pushed Failure to Launch into the pit.

Push Comes to Shove then fought Hyper Velocity Star, a horizontal spinner. Hyper Velocity Star's spinner had trouble spinning up, and then the robot seemed to stop working and was pushed into the pit by Push Comes to Shove.

Push Comes to Shove's next battle was against Gooshie, a rear-hinged flipper. They pushed each other around, until Gooshie managed to use it's flipper as a grabber and caught Push Comes to Shove inside it, and gradually push it into the pit.

Push Comes to Shove was then drawn against Little Kit 4, which managed to quickly push Push Comes to Shove into the pit.
