Fairyweights, Antweights, and Beetleweights duke it out in Gilleski's 4' x 8' hardboard arena!
 
Both of our antweights attended only to take first place in the antweight division.
 
(Special thanks goes out to Jr from Team Mad Cow for hosting the videos)

Switchblade vs Decidedly Undecided:
     The match started out with decided plowing in to Switchblade only to get caught by the blade sending him fliping through the air. After a little more flipping the top armor and wedge on  Decidedly came off and the match ended in a tapout.
 
 
Nor Easter vs Dark Angel:
     I never saw such a nicely engineered ant! Nor Easter spun up its blade powered direct drive to a drill motor and went right after Dark Angel.  But the "complete control" of Dark angel overcame Nor Easter. The blade on Nor Easter was quickly stoped by the clamping jaws on Dark Angel. After repeatedly clamping Nor Easter, one of his wheel hubs came loose and the wheel just floated away. The match ended in a judges decision for Dark Angel.
 
Nightblade vs Son of Slam:
     The match started out with Nightblade spinning up the massive sawblade and Son of Slam trying to ram his massive wedge under me. Right off the bat Nightblade sends Son of Slam in the air flipping him. While he was upside down Nightblade ramed the sawblade into the back of Son of Slam sending him soaring again and tearing a motor right out of the bot. The match ended in a knockout for Nightblade.

Mailman vs Bowl of Injury:
     Escap 33:1 powered wedge vs plastic bowl. Mailman used its wedge to get under numerous times and slam Bowl of Injury into the wall. Mailman wins on judges decision. (Click here to watch this fight)
 
Nebula vs Butterchurner:
     Nebula has a 4.5" circular saw powered by a Mini EV and Butterchurner has a big steel blade ran by a handiworks drill motor. Butterchurner got some good hits in on Nebula but right afterwards Nebula hit Butterchurner on the side sending him into a barrel roll. While Butterchurner was fliped Nebula went in for the kill and tore apart wires and almost a $80 scorpion ESC. Nebula wins by tapout. (Click here to watch this fight)
 
Amish Pinwheel of Doom vs Fairy Dust:
     Faries rule! Pinwheel spun up its 6in titanium blade and went berserker on Fairy Dust taking chunks of plastic off. The recoil was enough to strip the gears in one of the drive motors on Pinwheel. Pinwheel wins by tapout.
 
Atomic Wedge vs Mini Moo:
     Atomic Wedge has 2 Handi Works motors for drive and Mini Moo has S7 steel blades powered by a wattage. Atomic wedge got under mini moo numerous times but once the wedge on Atomic Wedge got stuck Mini Moo came in from behind and tore the back Carbon Fiber panel off of Atomic. Mini Moo wins by judges decision. (Click here to watch this fight)
 
Switchblade vs Dagger:
     Switchblade came head on into the lexan of dagger but dagger got under Switchblade before the blade could make contact. Once Switchblade fell of the back of dagger, Switchblade spun around and got two good hits on dagger dissabling the bot. Switchblade wins by knockout. (Click here to watch this fight)
 
Atomic Wedge vs Turtle:
     Atomic Wedge used its Handiwork power to get under turtle and move him about a little. Due to the high torque startups on Atomic Wedge the bot would pull a wheelie and go up on top of turtle instead of below. The bots got stuck together in the areana wall. Junior came in with a shovel to seperate them but in the process he took off one of turtles wheels. Moments later the other wheel fell off and turtle lost its ability to move. Atomic Wedge wins by knockout. (Click here to watch this fight)
 
Switchblade vs Dark Angel:
     Switchblade was too fast for Dark Angel. He got under Dark Angel and used its faster drive system to out run the clamp weapon. Once Switchblade got on the side of Dark Angel it was over. The sawblade hit the drive system and fliped Dark Angel on its side. Switchblade wins by knockout. (Click here to watch this fight)
 
Nightblade vs Mini Buggy of Doom:
     Mini Buggy had a commanding lead over Nightblade flipping him over right from the start. Thanks to the "free unstick rule", Mini buggy fliped Nightblade back over on its wheels with only seconds to spare on the knockout timer. Nighblade got behind Mini Buggy and delivered a massive blow to the left drive motor breaking the motor housing and sending Mini Buggy to the ceiliing. Nightblade continued to deliver hits on Buggy untill Mini Buggy tapped out. Gif image below of Nightblade and Mini Buggy. (Click here to watch this fight)
 

Atomic Wedge vs Butterchurner:
     Atomic Wedge went right into the battle pushing butterchurner everywhere. The undercutting blade on butterchurner was working great until the threaded shaft collar came loose and stopped the blade from working. Atomic Wedge wins by judges decision. (Click here to watch this fight)
 
Atomic Wedge vs Nebula:
     Another great match! Nebula started up it Mini EV powered sawblade and went right after Atomic Wedge. When atomic wedge got under Nebula and backed up, Nebula got a piece of Atomic Wedges wheel and sent him soaring in the air. Atomic wedge came back though slamming the sawblade into the plywood wall getting the bot stuck. After Nebula got unsutck, Atomic Wedge got under nebula and pushed him around the arena. About 2 min into the match nebula got a piece of the titanium wedge tearing the screws out and the battery. Nebula wins by knockout. (Click here to watch this fight)
