Heat the Eleventh is a challenge for all competitors - how long can you survive on a platform in a pushing battle with Shunt? The Sumo Basho awaits for 7 robots, who must try to survive 60 seconds against Shunt. Whoever survives longest - or pushes Shunt off quickest - will be the winner. Get pushing guys, and just don't go broadside in front of Shunt's scoop. All votes must start with a display of the number of seconds expected.

V-Max

V-Max
How Many Seconds Will They Survive? 22.41 seconds. V-Max seems like the kind of wedge that can keep Shunt at bay for a while. It could sometimes win the BOTGC, but I doubt it has the pushing power to beat Shunt. Shunt will find a way to get around the side of V-Max and shove it off eventually, especially as V-Max isn't really the fastest robot to avoid Shunt forever. Jimlaad43(talk) 08:38, June 4, 2020 (UTC) 17.42 seconds V-Max will survive for a bit, before Shunt gets a good side on attack and push it off. Adster1005 08:41, June 4, 2020 (UTC) 4.21 seconds. The problem with V-Max is that not only did it have some lapses in control (which Shunt will exploit), but it is a front-hinged flipper. We saw that Firestorm 2 completely bombed against Shunt, and I highly doubt V-Max will do any better as a result. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 08:44, June 4, 2020 (UTC)

Chaos 2

Chaos 2
How Many Seconds Will They Survive? 15.69 seconds. Really, Chaos 2 is completely screwed here. We've seen from the actual Sumo Basho that Shunt shown no mercy against the All-Stars like Diotoir and Razer, so Chaos 2 would likely be targeted with full on drives from Shunt, rather than something passive it showed in other fights. Chaos 2 having flipped Shunt over in Series 3 will make this a no mercy fight. Chaos 2's only respite is that the flipper might be able to win the BOTGC at the first attempt, but it won't be able to push Shunt off. Shunt getting around the side is the end for Chaos 2 as the clearance there is awful and Chaos 2 is very pushable. Jimlaad43(talk) 08:38, June 4, 2020 (UTC) 12.12 seconds Round if necessary, not sure if we're doing 2dp or just seconds. Chaos II to win the first breach, but not do much, and then the ground clearance will be breached and a shove off. We look set for a new champion. Adster1005 08:44, June 4, 2020 (UTC) VICTORY at 15 seconds. Unlike V-Max, I can see the compact, agile Chaos 2 dodging Shunt at first. And here is the thing; not only is Chaos 2 going to edge out Shunt in terms of control, it actually was a very good pusher with an exceptional ground clearance. I honestly think Chaos 2 can successfully attack Shunt at the sides, and considering that Shunt was the lightest House Robot, should be easier for the defending champion to push. Henceforth, Chaos 2 has all the cards here needed to win outright. SpaceManiac888 (Talk) 08:47, June 4, 2020 (UTC)
