Liar 2 vs. Nitro-Gene 4.0
Liar 2 is a Wheely Big Cheese style axlebot flipper. Its two large wheels are driven by LEM130 motors giving a top speed of 22mph. The armouring consists of 6mm Hardox wheels, 5mm Hardox for the main body and variable amounts of Hardox on the flipper between 4mm and 7mm. The flipper is powered by 1000psi Nitrogen and works both ways up. Either side of the wedge are two large spikes to slam into opponents by spinning.
Nitro-Gene 4.0 is another powerful flipper. It is box wedge in shape and has tapered sides and rear to protect against spinners. It is also driven by two LEM130 motors and similarly has a top speed of 22mph. It also has 5mm Hardox for the main body and 6mm Hardox for the flipper. And guess what? It also has a 1000psi Nitrogen powered flipper.

ACTIVATE!
Both robots head off straight towards each other and meet head to head in the middle of the arena. Nitro-Gene uses its extra traction to get under the wedge and get its flipper under Liar 2, and throws it high into the air! Liar 2 bumps down upside down, as Paul drives Nitro-Gene in for another attack, catching Liar 2 side on and flips it again. Liar 2 again tumbles through the air and them comes back down to Earth with a bang. Nitro-Gene comes in for yet another attack but this time drives right up onto the wedge of Liar 2. It’s Martijn’s turn to fire the flipper and Nitro Gene gets thrown several feet across the arena! Coming down right side up, Nitro-Gene quickly gets back in on the attack and gets under the side of Liar 2, and this time decides to push it towards the arena wall, and flips!
Liar 2 is launched upwards, hits the polycarbonate screening and bounces back down into the arena! Nitro-Gene is first to react and slides back under Liar 2 and throws it back into the centre of the arena. Paul drives Nitro-Gene back in for another attack, but again rides up the wedge of Liar 2 and Martijn flips again! Nitro-Gene thumps down onto its back, but the flipper is quickly operated and Nitro-Gene stylishly does a 540-degree flip and lands back on its wheels. Liar 2 drives in to meet it but the skirting prevents the Dutch robot from getting under. Paul moves Nitro-Gene side by side with Liar 2 and attempts a flip but misses the side of Liar 2 and flips itself over! Nitro-Gene again performs a nice flip back to its wheels, but Liar 2 is waiting and slides under Nitro-Gene’s side for a flip! Nitro-Gene is thrown backwards and lands down dangerously close to the arena wall.
Liar 2 quickly advances and gets under before Nitro-Gene can self-right and flips again! This time it is Nitro-Gene who bounces off the screens and back into the arena upside down. Paul fires Nitro-Gene’s flipper to self-right but it fails to make it back to its wheels! The flipper is fired again and Nitro-Gene jumps back over with a distinctly less impressive flip. Liar zooms into the action and rides straight up the front wedge of Nitro-Gene, who immediately responds with a flip, throwing Liar 2 over. Nitro-Gene comes in on the charge but Martijn turns Liar 2 to face it right at the last moment… and Liar flips! Nitro Gene gets flung high overhead and lands down outside the arena.
CEASE!
Nitro-Gene 4.0 is left out of the arena and Liar 2 progresses!
