Black and Blue

"A clusterbot...that means double trouble"

- Jonathan Pearce

Black and Blue was Team Mousetrap's entry for Series 7. It was a clusterbot - each machine a small invertible box with a 20kg 6000RPM spinning drum. As the name suggests, one robot was black, and the other was blue. However, they were rather small, and were very easy to push around as Firestorm 5 found out during their only battle.

Series 7
The battle started very quickly with Firestorm 5 immediately flipping Black. Firestorm 5 then went for Blue whilst Bamm Bamm used its axe against Blue. Both Blue and Bamm Bamm were flipped over, but Blue being invertible meant it didn't effect it. Black was then flipped up again by Firestorm 5, then Black was flipped into its twin. Daisy-Cutter then hit Black and Black appeared to stop moving, Blue meanwhile looked to be stuck on the arena wall. Firestorm 5 meanwhile had pitted Bamm Bamm. Daisy-Cutter nudged Blue towards the pit and Firestorm 5 pushed it in. As Blue was out of the running, this meant that Black was as well, because if one half of a clusterbot is immobilised, both halves are eliminated. Black, however, had already been immobilised by Daisy-Cutter, so Blue's pitting was only the conclusion.
