The Final
Liar vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus
In Round 2, Liar had a very even match with Back 2 Basics, but when B2B righted itself on top of the arena wall, it left a huge gap for Liar to slide under and flip it out of the arena.
Meanwhile, Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus got through when it tossed the clusters of Mass Confuzzlement about causing one to hit the arena roof and the other two send flying out of the ring.
3…2…1…Activate!
And the final is underway between two very similar wedge/flipper robots. One notable difference is that Die-Ceratops is slightly faster than Liar and comes in on the attack first. But in doing so Die-Ceratops rides up the front wedge of Liar and receives a flip, sending it onto it’s back. Die-Ceratops is invertible and so it drives away to safety.
But Liar is on hot pursuit and slides its wedge under the back of Die-Ceratops and drives it across the ring, shunting it into the wall. Liar flips again, but the length of Die-Ceratops means that it was largely ineffective. Die-Ceratops turns and comes back in on the assault, sliding under and firing its own big flipper.
Liar flies over onto its back, and quickly self-rights, but Die-Ceratops is already in the waiting and flips again! This time Liar self rights and gets free, and rushes away to hit the pit release. It seems as though the Dutch robot fears the worst already! The pit begins to descend as Die-Ceratops comes in on the assault but crashes into the arena wall as Liar dives out of the way.
Liar then sees its chance to attack and rushes in to fire the flipper, flinging Die-Ceratops over again. Liar then slams Die-Ceratops into the wall again, and fires the flipper, possibly trying to toss Die-Ceratops out of the ring as it did with Back 2 Basics in the last round – but nothing comes of it.
Instead it gives Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus the chance to attack and the big green wedge slides under and the flipper fires. The enormous power of the flipper launches Liar back across the ring. Liar gets a lucky break, as if the flipper had fired forwards that close to the wall, this thing would have been over!
Instead Liar self rights, and manages to quickly spring away from an oncoming Die-Ceratops charge, who fires its flipper anyway, turning itself over. Liar then gets chance to attack and slides under Die-Ceratops and flips it over! And again, and again! It then finished off the assault by slamming it against the wall.
Liar then comes in for the charge and goes for the flip, but Die-Ceratops has fired its own flipper and flipped itself out of the way, meaning Liar flips thin air and turns itself onto its back too! Die-Ceratops then approaches from the rear and tosses Liar into the air and back down into the polycarbonate screening outside the ring.
Cease!
It’s over as quick as a flash, and Die-Ceratops celebrates the victory. Congratulations Chris Mason and Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus, you have won the AJWars: A New Era tournament!
