Fighting a flying robot the craziest way possible

Last time Spitfire was at our event, we thought we had seen it all. We witnessed the masterclass of how to beat a drone, with the adoption of very big sticks. This time out (Round 6: 14 Sept 2024), the driver of Knuckle Sandwich said ‘hold my beer’ and delighted us with this ingenious tactic.

Switching to your teammate is faster than reloading

[SimonSaysXD]

Using your own teammate as a projectile weapon is crazy

[darkmaice]

Mini bot: toss me.
Big boy: what?
Mini bot: I can’t make the jump, you’ll have to toss me

[Core-]

That is a sturdy mini bot to take that type of hit repeatedly and still be ok

[smol_hornet]

Flying bots are just a perfect recipe to force contestants into McGuyvering some last-minute solution to beat a bot that they clearly did not design theirs to fight.

This is the most unhinged anti-Spitfire strategy we've seen so far, and I'm all here for it.

Reminds me of when Witch Doctor took a chunk out of Subzero and nailed Spitfire mid-air

Somebody gotta make another flying robot so we can get an arieal duel

"Toss me, " Gimli said to Aragorn.

[steampunkskunk]

using your own mini bot as a projectile.... Thats 10/10 for aggression

[RuneScapeShadoma]

Ah yes, Spitfire's greatest weakness... Rakes and bots shaped like rakes.

[Tchnfrq]

„if you aint coming down i am coming up there and boy you better be ready!“

- mini knuckle sandwhich in an angry parent voice, probably.

[rosscobossco]

27 missed calls from Aragorn and Gimli

This is the best reenactment of the Bowser fight from super Mario world I've ever seen.

Knuckle Sandwich really went:

"THAT ABOMINATION IS MINE"

"IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR, I CAST YOU DOWN".

[shadowwolf]

The little bot knew the boss mechanics.

[SFox-nfbo]

"BROTHER I HAVE AN IDEA!"

"THROW ME BROTHER! ILL TAKE THE DRAGON DOWN!"

[ARTIVST]

Honestly, a subset of "throwing companions into flying vehicle" would be fun

[ZeroGForce]

Knuckle Sandwich's mini-bot really went and said:
*"I NEED YOU TO THROW ME, SAIYAN!!!"*

[X-SPONGED]

"Shit, they fly now! What's the plan?"
Knuckle Sandwich: *"I am going to launch you really fast at the enemy"*
"Sounds go- w- wAIT WHA-"
