Twisted Metal

Twisted Metal Evo was a competitor in the second Dutch Series of Dutch Robot Wars. It was a low, invertible, box shaped robot with a powerful spinning disc at the front. Overall, it was similar in design to UK machine Disc-O-Inferno. Twisted Metal Evo destroyed its first two opponents to reach its heat final, but it was defeated there on a judges decision by Krab Bot.

The team entered the first series with the original Twisted Metal, which was even more successful as it won its heat and reached the Dutch Grand Final.

Dutch Series 2
Twisted Metal Evo got its spinning disc up to speed as the axlebot, Slamtilt, tried to get its axe into play. Twisted Metal Evo whacked one of the exposed wheels of Slamtilt, buckling it, but not immobilising the robot. Twisted Metal Evo chased Slamtilt into a CPZ giving Growler the opportunity to attack. After both machines escaped, Twisted Metal Evo turned and hit Slamtilt again, knocking a wheel off and allowing it to be counted out by the Refbot and take severe damage from the house robots and drop zone. In the heat semi-final, Twisted Metal's first attack on the wedge shaped Flepser cut through its flipper. Twisted Metal Evo activated the pit and almost drove straight down, but escaped and punctured one of Flepser's tyres, leaving it spinning around in circles. A merciless Twisted Metal Evo closed in and ripped the front armour of Flepser to shreds before nudging it into the vertical flywheel of Matilda, who flipped Flepser onto its side where incredibly it was still moving, under a hail of debris. The next attack by Twisted Metal Evo almost made it bounce straight into the pit of oblivion. Flepser was systematically ripped apart by attacks by the house robots, losing both wheels and Twisted Metal Evo was through to the heat final against Krab Bot. Twisted Metal came onto the attack, hitting one of Krab Bot's claws, but failed to cause any damage. Krab Bot grabbed the static front disc of its opponent and slammed Twisted Metal Evo into the arena side wall and into a CPZ. Here, Sir Killalot took over from Krab Bot and lifted the former grand finallists into the air before letting go. Twisted Metal Evo simply couldn't get its spinner to work like in the first two rounds, and it spun into Matilda's CPZ where the flywheel flayed a piece of armour on the front of the machine. Krab Bot repeated its tactic of pushing Twisted Metal Evo into the corner patrol zone and this time Killalot spun Twisted Metal around and threw it. Twisted Metal lasted the full five minutes but was eliminated on the judges decision.
