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.

Sumo Basho

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) 8.43 seconds. V-Max's initial charge may certainly hinder Shunt, but its speed and lack of control is going to seriously hinder it on such a narrow plinth. Even here I feel I might be a bit too generous. CrashBash (talk) 09:03, June 4, 2020 (UTC) 4.21 Secs It maybe a wedge but as w saw with Firestorm that doesn't mean squat. V-Max is an easy robot to push back against and shove off, so I don't see much challenge

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) 15.31. I see a display similar to Onslaught's, really. Chaos 2's weight is hardly an issue here given that it was roughly equal with everyone else in Series 4, but I still don't think it'll be able to hold off Shunt forever. CrashBash (talk) 09:06, June 4, 2020 (UTC) 8.33 Secs Oof! Sumo is NOT the best challenge for Chaos 2 and I must question Space logic above because from every encounter between Shunt and Chaos 2, Chaos 2 was able to get underneath, yes, but did not push but only flipped. Shunt on the other hand proved it could easily push Chaos 2 anyhow, therefore, although Chaos has the control it WILL be pushed off very easily and defeated. It maybe a harsh number I've given but I'm basing it on who's more likely to push who and Chaos 2 is shortest of short straws.Diotoir the son of nemesis (talk) 09:23, June 4, 2020 (UTC) Also Bout time we started using the sexy Series 4 arena shots!
