Lumaside

## Overview

Lumaside is a BYOB Silver chassis with a custom made weapon bar made of VEX with coins taped to it for weight. The bar has been secured to the chassis via Gorilla Tape residue making the chassis proprietary to Lumaside. (It can't use the BYOB attachments) Lumaside did decently well in Hexbug Hell season 1 where it managed to snag 4th place with a nonfunctional weapon. It didn't do as well in Hexbug Hell Quarantine Edition where it won only one of its fights. It then returned for the Hexbug Hell Quarantine Annihilator where it was eliminated in round 7.

## Fight history

### **Hexbug Hell season 1**

#### Lumaside vs Matilda

The fight started with Lumaside spinning up, and losing its blade. The entire fight was Lumaside bullying Matilda around the arena. The fight went the full 3 minutes and Lumaside won a judges decision.

#### Lumaside vs BYOB Flipper (1)

The fight started with Lumaside spinning up, and losing its blade. Lumaside then proceeded to push the flipper around the arena. The flipper managed to take off one of Lumaside's panels and then flipped it. The flipper won by KO and advanced to the next round.

#### Lumaside vs Beta

Lumaside didn't even spin up this time before losing the blade. It still had the pushing power over Beta. A good chunk of the fight was Beta hammering Lumaside while it was pushing Beta. The fight went to a judges decision where Lumaside won. Beta was out.

#### Lumaside vs Tombstone

The fight started with Lumaside spinning up and losing its blade. Tombstone rushed in and took off one of Lumaside's panels. Tombstone then lost one of its panels and took off Lumaside's other panel. However, Lumaside didn't give up and it pushed Tombstone into the inner wall where it got stuck on its blade. Lumaside won by KO and Tombstone was out.

#### Lumaside vs Witch Doctor V3

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 out of the competition.

#### Lumaside vs BYOB Flipper (2)

Lumaside spun up and lost its blade in the first hit. That same hit also took off both armor panels from the flipper. After a strong push, Lumaside managed to flip the flipper. The flipper then self righted and kept fighting. After a few back and forth pushes, the flipper did what it did last time to Lumaside and flipped it. Lumaside was counted out and the flipper advanced.

### **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 2

Number of robots: 3

The fight started with everyone spinning up. Gigabyte then went after Lumaside, but only landed a glaning blow which ended with Gigabyte losing a panel. Gigabyte then went after the BYOB FBS and took off one of its panels, quickly taking one from Lumaside as well. Lumaside then hit the wall and took off its own remaining panel. With another hit, Gigabyte took the BYOB FBS' remaining panel and dislodged the weapon from the central shaft. Lumaside then attacked the BYOB FBS and finished off the weapon. The cage of the BYOB FBS ejected and was thrown to the corner of the arena. Lumaside then went to attack Gigabyte but was smacked back. After the second hit with Gigabyte, Lumaside then went to attack the BYOB FBS, but that was all the bar could take because it ejected too. Lumaside then went to attack Gigabyte who simultaneously tried to take off Lumaside's leading wedge. Gigabyte then went after the BYOB FBS who won the subsequent pushing match. At some point, Gigabyte lost its other panel, however Gigabyte took off the most panels from other robots. The rest of the fight was all of the robots driving around aimlessly. The fight went to a judges decision where Lumaside won due to taking off the BYOB FBS' weapon, one of the BYOB FBS' panels, and doing well in pushing matches.

#### 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.

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
