teeth are made of
9.5 m mild steel with hard face weld on the leading point
problems so far have been caused by Orbit bending the tooth up and also some slight bending when hitting some hard wedges like king cobra

o i hope that is balanced or it will be one entertaining if not overlay effective bot. is this shell making an appearance at sidetracked? noticed badger was on the list of bots competing _________________ Remember to trust me, I am an Engineer.
badgers shell is 3 layers of about 1.6mm each and the dents penetrated into the electronics compartment.
glen did his usual charge with decimator we think that the speed helped get in between the two spinning teeth on badgers shell.
badger spins clockwise decimator spins clockwise
neither robot was thrown off in any direction it was very concentrated, badger stopped in an instant that force going into both robots. decimators blades come around and hit before the trailing end of badgers tooth. can see the scrapes on the shell where decimator hit. Theres also the carved out notch on badgers tooth which it likely got from hitting somewhere in the opening of decimators frame. it likely decimator crushed badger between its weapon and its own frame. That’s why neither robot got deflected when they hit each other. Had they been spinning different directions its more likely badger would get deflected, knocked back. the tooth wouldve hit with the smooth trailing edge first and that wouldve slid out of decimators frame in the same situation.
mounting points on badgers drives has cracked and the weapon motors shaft is bent
had the fight been forfeited or maybe weapon reversed it wouldve not been over so fast for badger. now back at the workshop, badger can be hit out with a sledge hammer, cut and straightened etc. Got a more appropriate weapon motor on order.
Good thing was dad still had skeletor in the competition after badger got knocked out.
