Round 1
Mass Confuzzlement vs. Dysfunction 2.0
Mass Confuzzlement is the second four-way clusterbot to appear in this competition. Each identical piece is made up of 3mm Steel armouring and is driven by two S28-150 Magmotors giving a top speed of 12mph. The interesting concept of this robot is its weaponry - designed like a cheese grater.
Dysfunction 2.0 is wedge shaped and armoured in 7mm Titanium. It’s drive consists of S28-400 Magmotors providing speeds of 12mph. It also has an interesting weaponry set-up consisting of dual drums designed to flip robots up and a flipping arm resting between them.
3…2…1…Activate!
Mass Confuzzlement splits and all four parts go straight for Dysfunction, who also goes straight for the clusters! Dysfunction slides under one part and tosses it skywards, but that allows another two parts to slide under and push Dysfunction across the ring and into the corner. The other two parts then join in and all four parts repeatedly slam Dysfunction into the corner in tandem.
Dysfunction fires the flipper to try and escape but all four members keep pinning and slamming it against the arena wall. Kody knows he cannot drive over the top for fear of shredding the tyres. But that moment, luck strikes as one of the parts drives straight into one of Dysfunction’s drums and spins away, allowing Dysfunction to get away and wisely get into the middle off the ring.
The clusters then attack from all angles, ramming and bumping into Dysfunction and sliding under the bottom. The word confuzzlement comes to mind as the four parts come flying from all angles and bump and barge into the sides and slide under the bottom of Dysfunction over and over again.
One of the clusters then wonders off too open up the pit while the other three again back Dysfunction into a wall. One of the parts again makes the mistake of hitting the drums and flips over while Dysfunction again manages to break free.
The drum hit part flies straight back in but this time tastes the flipper as the fourth part joins back in and the three start to push Dysfunction across the ring and right across the edge of the pit. All four pieces then come back on the assault in the corner of the ring.
Dysfunction flips and gets away over the top of one of the clusters but before it can even get free all four parts slide under and drive it forwards, dumping it into the pit.
Cease!
Dysfunction malfunctioned, and Mass Confuzzlement goes through!
