Cheesecake is back and ready to take on the world! This championship event was the ultimate test of engineering and driving, so let's see how it went! Cheesecake is my 1lb combat robot, a much smaller version of the robots you see on BattleBots and Robot Wars. The same basic rules apply here.

The tournament is a double elimination bracket. Each fight lasts 2-3 minutes. You win by disabling your opponent so they can no longer move. If your opponent cannot move, they will get counted out on a ten-second countdown. Even if they can only drive in circles, that is enough movement to avoid being counted out. If both robots are still moving at the end of the fight, then the winner is declared by a panel of judges, who score each robot on damage (done to the opponent) aggression (how much each robot initiates the engagements) and control (how much control you have over your own robot). Drivers are allowed to tap out at any time during the fight. Drivers may also request one "unstick" if their robot is stuck on the arena.
