Design
"Circle of Death is designed to fight Left Hook Jr.
HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/left-hook-jr/<br
/>The weapon is designed to destroy Ethan's, and the wedge is
designed to let me drive over his so I can take out his weapon."
—Dutch
"Remember GyroWave
HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/gyrowave/?<br
/>It could rip into almost any armor. Circle of Death hits more
than ten times as hard—not far below Son of Razor
HTML https://bugforums.createaforum.com/lego-battlebots-wiki/son-of-razor/,<br
/>but with superior bite and a reduced recoil."
—Dutch
"I can hit something so hard the bar breaks in half and the
gears won't slip."

History
[center]All-Team Tournament 4.0[/center]
Circle of Death vs Spinner
Circle of Death did shockingly poorly at first, with its gears
slipping (Dutch had forgotten to check them before the fight)
and Spinner landing hits on the front. Suddenly Spinner shot up
CoD's wedge, flew out of the arena, and was counted out. CoD won
by KO and advanced to the second round to fight the No.2 seed,
Double Beak Griffin

CoD tore off one of DBG's hammers on the first hit. Next CoD
landed a big hit that smashed DBG's frame. Dutch asked Trent if
he could hit him again, and Trent said yes. CoD landed a few
more hits on what was left of the other bot before DBG was
counted out and CoD advanced to the finals, where it fought Son
of Razor

"You know why my bar broke? I held it together with a two-by-one
plate. I didn't realize that that end of the bar had what was
effectively a perfect structural failure point in the middle. I
have to fix that."
—Dutch
The first hit was a massive weapon-to-weapon collision that
broke Circle of Death's bar in half and staggered SoR. Now
terribly unstable, CoD attempted to make a comeback, but could
not land a hit as it bounced around. Then it took a terrific
shot from SoR and lifted into the air, almost flipping. SoR was
clearly winning now and the two bots kept charging, but then one
of SoR's blades came out. Now it too was unbalanced. CoD took
another shot or two to its wedge, and SoR destroyed itself and
was counted out. Circle of Death won the title.

Circle of Death vs Unnamed
CoD's first shot send Unnamed out of the arena. Unnamed was
counted out and CoD advanced to the second round to fight
Phoenix

Circle of Death vs Phoenix
CoD's hits broke off both ends of Phoenix's bar, then chewed
into its frontal armor. Then, on the eighth hit, CoD hit Phoenix
again, which knocked its own right wheel off. CoD was counted
out and suffered its first loss, joining the losers bracket to
fight Unnamed again.
Circle of Death vs Unnamed
Circle of Death won again, but it was closer. CoD advanced to
fight Ethan's newest creation, the hammerbot Squash.
Circle of Death vs Squash (losers' bracket finals)
CoD won by KO and advanced to the top three, set to face Phoenix
again.

The fight went much the same as the first time, except that
CoD's wheel didn't come off and the fight went to JD. CoD won
and advanced to the finals to face Son of Razor for the second
time.
Circle of Death vs Son of Razor (finals)
Early on, SOR jumped and landed on top of CoD, then fell back
off. SOR was OOTA'd multiple times, but got back in the first
time or two. Then CoD rammed it out again, and this time the top
was counted out. Circle of Death was crowned champion again.

Circle of Death vs Left Hook Jr.
The builders had wanted this fight for quite a while. Circle of
Death lost the first two fights when it flipped due to the power
of its weapon, but won the third.
