Robot Ruckus at MegaCon 2024 2/n: Antlash

 Antlash decided to pull off a little transformation, living up to its "Tikbalang" surname, although it did get truncated at the event to "Tik". 

The first incarnation of Antlash was a horizontal Fingertech Viper Kit bot. Tripple D, a vertical spinner Fingertech Viper Kit bot at that point, took a judge's win victory. Luckily, there was very little damage, but the young driver demonstrated that it's very easy to get under the horizontal spinner. 

Antlash wound up in the loser's bracket, as it was a double-elimination match. His next opponent was Destroyer, a former Fingertech Viper Kit spinner vertical spinner turned wedge. At this point, Antlash was now the Repeat Robotics Scalar model. Thank you to Team Junkyard Dogs and several other teams for helping R get Antlash ready! It was an Antlash victory!

On day 2, Antlash had multiple fights, starting off with Wheelie Big Deal, a Junkyard Dogs bot inspired by HUGE. Suffice to say, Wheelie Big Deal won the award for Most Wrecked.

With that victory, Antlash went on to face Clowned, an overhead saw made with 3D printed parts. It wasn't exactly pretty, but Antlash demonstrated that it can get the job done!

Then there was the Biscuit, a shuffler with 1.5x allowed weight due to the unique movement mechanism. 

Next up was Crazed Madman, who eliminated me earlier today in a fight where I spent most of it pinned or cleaning the arena floor. I was so happy he was able to avenge me, just as I avenged his loss to Tripple D earlier this weekend.

The final fight for Antlash was against Insomnia, the most feared robot in the entire antweight division. 

R was able to snag an overall third place finish at Robot Ruckus!
