Story Post: Bout #1: Tincutter vs Raven1207.2 [Kevan vs Brendan]

On the left side of the arena, in position 4: Raven1207.2! To the right, in position 13: Tincutter!

The arena lights dim as the two bots rev the engines before, with a massive gout of flame, the bout is on!

And the two bots just sit there!

Both of them are defunct, with power requirements that outstrip the capacity of their engines!

Ten turns go by with neither bot moving!

Then the floor starts to explode as SUDDEN DEATH MODE COMMENCES!

The floor starts to explode, starting from the edges and moving inwards!

Both operators frantically moving their controls, to no avail!

Until, with a mighty detonation, position 4 exploded, sending Raven1207.2 hurtling up into the air in a shower of metal shards and sparks!

TINCUTTER WINS BY TKO!

Ahem, however: “Every Bot in a bout has their viewership score for that bout calculated and publicly announced by the Announcer at the end of that bout.”

(6 and 2, for reference. The crowd loved seeing Tincutter fail to move.)
