Icky Mouse[]
Icky Mouse is a Beetleweight robot from Team Widows Peak that competed in RoboGames 2017. It was built from a Weta 2 Kit armed with either a powerful Hybrid Eggbeater/Drum or an alternate Single-Tooth "Snail Drum". It did moderately well in its debut RoboGames appearance.
Robot History[]
RoboGames 2017[]
Icky Mouse's first match was against Thunder Pig. Icky Mouse managed to invert Thunder Pig on the arena wall early on where it was unable to move. Icky Mouse freed its opponent and managed to disabled Thunder Pig's weapon shortly thereafter. Without a working weapon, Thunder Pig began to spin in place, at which time Icky Mouse delivered a final blow, ripping off one of Thunder Pig's titanium side panels. Icky Mouse was the winner by KO.
Icky Mouse's second match was against Just A Wedge. As the match started, Just A Wedge stayed in its corner, allowing Icky Mouse to fully spin up its drum. As the two clashed, Icky Mouse began to experience radio signal issues. With its receiver not working, Icky Mouse was promptly counted out. Just A Wedge was the winner by KO.
With Icky Mouse now in the loser's bracket it had to face Sharpshooter, another Drum/Egg-beater bot. As the two exchanged the first couple blows Icky Mouse accidentally got stuck on the arena side wall when it turned too sharply due to the gyroscopic precession. It was able to get down on its own and managed to deliver a hit that inverted Sharpshooter.
Without any wedgelets to keep its weapon from dragging on the arena floor, Sharpshooter's beater bar acted as a third wheel, limiting its control. After a couple more hits by Icky Mouse, Sharpshooter found itself stuck in the corner of the arena wall and unable to move. Icky Mouse made an attempt to free its opponent, but was unable to dislodge Sharpshooter from the wall before it was counted out. Icky Mouse was declared the winner by KO.
Icky Mouse's broken single-tooth drum after fight with Sparky.
Icky Mouse' fourth match was against Sparky, a vertical bar spinner. Armed with its Single Tooth Snail Drum, the match began with Icky Mouse going weapon to weapon with Sparky. However, with Sparky having the faster tip speed, Icky Mouse was quickly flipped over. With the snail drum now spinning downward, the two bots met weapon to weapon again and Icky Mouse's single-tooth drum was ripped apart by Sparky's S7 bar.
After sustaining a few additional hits from Sparky, Icky Mouse's power wires were ripped from its power switch. Now without any power, Icky Mouse sustained a few more hits before tapping out. Sparky won by tap-out, which meant Icky Mouse was now out of the tournament.
