July 4th VCR Meet

Rumble - Sandstorm

Fight Recap

In this first fight against Off Track, I went with the long pivoting fork configuration to counter his similar setup. In this fight, I found a fun issue with the geometry of the robot’s frame where I’m super vulnerable to T-bones. Coupled with my rapidly deteriorating traction due to debris and the fight became more of a who can land a real hit first. After exchanging blows a couple of times, I went in for another hit when I got caught on one of the wall seams. I called for an unstick when Off Track found that he had already lost a drivetrain side and we ended the fight there.
