ODT Revealed
Kayn
Parrots
Taking a break from his job (Yes Autopilot IS on) Kayn decided he would have something to drink. With McDonalds closed he had to go to parrots.
He looked at the score board...
Kayn's thing - 11/5
Kayn decided then to give it a name. After all, Kayn's Thing was hardly a name for a robot
"Or Die Trying" replaced the words 'Kayn's Thing'
Back in Shuttle Bay 5
"Efof! Are you LOCO?!"
The huge mechanical frame of the four foot long robot with lots of spiky pointy bits stared back at Kayn as Efof finished welding chunks of metal to it. "I thought I told you to only put the diamond cutter on!"
"Yeah, but I found it got a bit boring adding it into a drill, so I made the frame...better"
"And it stays in the weight limit?"
"Plenty! We still need to make a body shell for it though"
"Just keep it very spiky...and red. Red ones go faster"
"Have we got a name for it yet?"
"Yes. ODT"
"Or Die Trying? Well..." Efof smiled "We won't be doing THAT in a hurry"
"We've got 11 to 5 odds...that's just off 2 to 1...I think""Is that good?"
"It means that if you work on the robot for long enough we can pull this thing off!"
Twenty hours of autopilot later, Kayn returned to his position at the helm, and slept in his seat, keeping the autopilot on. The robot was a huge hemisphere of spikes with diamond tips. The drill was attached to the front and was especially designed by the mining department to cut diamond (needless to say, Kayn had to borrow it)
It also looked nothing like the starbugs they had borrowed.As a neat touch, a huge steel mace/flail was added to the top spike which span arround whenever the robot drove.
Kayn tested it before he left, and had successfully made Efof run away very quickly, and had caught up with him before he hit a wall and made a ODT shaped dent in the wall. He had sprayed it BRIGHT red...the red you see of stop signs, and had given it a yellow streak - cuz everyone knows that red ones go even faster with 'yellow-go-faster-stripes'
It moved as jumpily as any fast remote control car did. Double checking the stuff inside the robot, Efof smiled. They looked like a shoe in to win the robot wars - that's if the security team didn't get in thier way.
