NPC Charity Open[]
BladeSpinner's first fight came against Corporal Punishment. Immediately, Corporal Punishment charged to the center of the arena, awaiting its opponent to spin up. Corporal Punishment led with its rear and managed to buckle the bar of BladeSpinner on impact, taking very little damage in return. BladeSpinner attempted to spin its bar again in bursts, but it was no longer effective and was a non-factor for the remainder of the fight. As Corporal Punishment took advantage of its superior drive power and optimized design for pushing, BladeSpinner ultimately lost by judges' decision and fell into the losers bracket.
BladeSpinner's second opponent was Botknocker-19. Slow out of its square, Botknocker-19 failed to defend itself as BladeSpinner's bar attacked it early on. BladeSpinner slowed its weapon as Botknocker-19 gently spun its shell before being halted by a BladeSpinner charge. Botknocker-19 spun slowly in place for the remainder of the fight and was ultimately deemed immobile. BladeSpinner took the win by knockout and moved on in the bracket.
Next up was Warrior. Both robots met in the middle of the arena and Warrior immediately stopped moving. BladeSpinner delivered a hit to the rear of Warrior. BladeSpinner pushed it around for a few seconds and as Warrior was counted out, BladeSpinner took the win and advanced in the losers bracket.
Its next fight came against Verbal Abuse. BladeSpinner was armed with a tall pole and forks protruding from the front. It was able to ram Verbal Abuse early on, but could not sent it into the wall. The two bots locked horns and BladeSpinner maneuvered its opponent to the pulverizer. lost this fight and was ultimately eliminated from the competition. Verbal Abuse then got into the battle, using its low plow to control BladeSpinner momentarily and taking it to the opposite pulverizer. BladeSpinner was dead for a few seconds but drove away from the hazard and continued to fight. Verbal Abuse dictated the tempo of the fight for the remaining seconds and took the win by judges' decision.
