Round 1: Ring Around The Ambulance vs. Shovearound

[Area51Escapee]

Next MW is a newcomber to Team Hunga. Ring Around The Ambulance, the deadly shell spinner from ARC: Carnage, showed how important it is to balance speed and torque in a bot, while also having a deadly weapon. Ambulance, perhaps the most stable spinner ever, is new to a lot of things, but still has a hunger for a shot at the title!


On the other side, we have a proven veteran who has come in a lot of different incarnations, Shovearound! The Shovearound series has slowly over the course of time joined the reigns of Suicide, Barrier, Shockwave and POP for dominant MW lifter bots. Coming close to a title back in ARC: Reckoning, Shovearound is still hungry for more.

I think Shovearound gets this one pretty easily. He can take a lot of hits and has like almost triple Ambulance's speed.

[ACAMS]

It better be fast so it can stay away from Ambulance, because that 10 weapon will rip shit out of 6 armor.

[panicattacky2k]

it's called "hit him before he spins up"

anyway i really think his traction works against him here. He isn't going to go ping-ponging after every hit, but that's exactly what I want to happen, I don't want any time for him to spin up.

Yep. And even if Ambulance gets a hit in, it'll slow him down to the point where Shovearound can get under with the forks and take him for some major hazard-pwning to make up for that damage. Ambulance only has 4 armour.

[NWOWWE]

The spinner has better torque... lol.

Yeah, it's a close call but I'll give the edge to Ambulance.

Yeah.... if you want to get the spinner after the first hit, you (usually) need to have better torque. Sorry Anthony.
