Well, RoboWars was Fun, despite shYte having its fair share of problems.

Fight 1- Vs. Plan B

It was the first fight of the night, and Shyte's aerial wasn't attached until the last five seconds. The fight started, and there was no reception (Shit!). Plan B comes in onto the left tire, and took the rubber off (Along with a large cut on the wedge), and cut through the plastic. I didn't tap out, because I wanted to entertain the Audience. Plan B, drives around to the other side, where it takes off the Right Hand Side Panel, held on by three tech screws- Parts of my Armour welded onto the teeth! Plan B then hit the other wheel, and I tapped out. After the fight, it turned out that when we were screwing the aerial in, the reciever's aerial wire was twisting, and it snapped off the solder, giving about 10cm of Aerial inside a steel robot. Shyte had no chance.

Fight 2- Vs. Hellbringer

Hellbringer was certainly a step down from Plan B. After numerous test runs in the Arena with no hitches, we had a big chance for a win.

Shyte immediately ran straight for Hellbringer, and twenty seconds in, Shyte's motors weren't going, despite it recieving the Signals. Hellbringer won by KO. After the match, it turns out that the clutch wasn't locked in properly, and the screws gave way. Shyte was out of contention.

It was a good event, Congratulations to Plan B for a great win on the Weekend.

Now it's time to get back to the drawing board, and yes, the Rusty armour's comming back
