#Great little fight this!

In the brief clashes we saw of the two fighting in the Tag Team Terror...all 15 seconds of it...Tricerabot seemed like it was having a few issues pushing Tut Tut due to the latter's pyramid shape. For a full five minute bout, however, I expect that these attacks will still be considered for aggression, and I think overall Tricerabot should have the advantage.

+ | #I'm backing the first real upset of the tournament here. Let's remind ourselves of the Juggerbot timeline - 1) Team Juggerbot build '''Juggerbot''' as a pushing box for ''Robotica'', which becomes '''Rosie the Riveter''', 2) '''Juggerbot''' is rebuilt as an improved pushing box for ''BattleBots'', which becomes '''Tricerabot''', 3) The Juggerbot team build '''Logoseye''' for Season 3 of Robotica, improving on both designs by adding a wedge, which becomes '''Rosie the Riveter 2''', 4) The Juggerbot team build '''Juggerbot 3.0''' for Season 3 of Robotica, improving on past designs by adding a flipper weapon. The exact timeline of improvement is important, because Tut Tut defeated Rosie the Riveter 2 (step 3 in the timeline) in ''Nickelodeon Robot Wars''. The circumstances were different, I admit, as both robots were driven by children and the victory itself was a split decision, but the win came as a result of Tut Tut axing a flat boxy robot - something that will always be possible. Tricerabot is a prior stage of the Juggerbot timeline, and not only that, it's been outfitted with sacrificial cardboard for Tut Tut to cause extra damage to. Like CrashBash pointed out, Tricerabot's lack of a wedge hindered its ability to push Tut Tut in their real bout, and considering Rosie the Riveter 2 HAD a wedge, even that struggled. Tricerabot pushing Tut Tut backwards isn't going to outweigh the effect of Tut Tut's axe blows, and I don't want people to fall into the trap of Tricerabot winning this because its ''successor'' would become a ''Robot Wars'' runner-up. <span style="font-family:Pirulen; font-size:10pt">[[User:ToastUltimatum|<font color="maroon">'''T'''</font><font color="ff8c00">'''OAS'''</font>]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|<font color="maroon">'''T'''</font>]]</span> 14:06, October 11, 2018 (UTC) |
||
+ | #:Toast, the original Juggerbot first got renamed Rosie the Riveter, which then was modified and renamed Logoseye and then reverted to Rosie the Riveter 2 whilst keeping the Logoseye design. Juggerbot from BattleBots was renamed Tricerabot for Extreme Warriors 1 before entering Robotica season 3 as Juggerbot 3.0, it was then reverted to Tricerabot 3.0 for Extreme Warriors 2. In short, Logoseye and Rosie the Riveter 1 are the same bot whilst Juggerbot from BattleBots and Tricerabot 3.0 are the same bot.

||
+ | #I have to agree with both Crash and Toast's evaluations on this one; should be a close contest. One thing I'd like to emphasise is that under the old judging criteria, the damage inflicted to Tricerabot's top, wheels and paper bag extras would most likely earn valuable points for Tut Tut in the event that both robots last to the end. Indeed, as mentioned above, it was the aforementioned scenario which lead Tut Tut to come out on top against Rosie the Riveter in the ''Nickelodeon'' series. I am aware that the bottom of Tut Tut's bodyshell was also buckled in places as the start of the Tag Team battle, but it appears that the damage was done before Tricerabot first made contact with it. Tricerabot will no doubt ram and slam Tut Tut, but I don't feel it has much else in return to counter Tut Tut's more damaging axe blows.

+ | #Surprised by the support for Tut Tut but after thinking about it and reading the argument, I actually have to agree; I think they could pull off the upset here. Maybe not KO Tricerabot but I think they can take the points. [[User:BizarroKing|BizarroKing]] ([[User talk:BizarroKing|talk]]) 23:15, October 11, 2018 (UTC) |
||
+ | #I think Tut Tut's sloped design is crucial here, since I can see it reducing Tricerabot's pushing power considerably, likely preventing its opponent from scoring significant aggression points. As VulcansHowl has mentioned, Tricerabot has also put themselves at significant risk of losing via a judges' decision, by allowing Tut Tut to score easy damage points from taking out the weak top and paper bags. If it hits a tyre, then Tut Tut will dominate, by exploiting its opponent's compromised mobility. Even if it does not, Tut Tut should achieve a narrow victory via swaying the judges over by scoring more damage points.
