Dutch's Launch Break II. Chopper failed to get enough engagement
on LBII's wedge in the first hit. On the second David
outmaneuvered Dutch and ripped off one of LBII's wheel guards.
As the guard was the only thing keeping the wheels from sliding
off the axle, Dutch was forced to drive much more cautiously.
Chopper landed another hit which knocked both left-side wheels
off entirely and won by KO.
Chopper vs MicroWave (finals)
HTML https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/438752241042849793/1076167234700984370/bs_vs_gb_the_big_hit_fixed.gif

MicroWave into the air. After this MicroWave was able to engage
with its weapon and the hits sent both bots flying. The bots
then went weapon-to-weapon in a massive hit that knocked
MicroWave's weapon shaft out of the mounting in a similar
fashion to what had happened to RadioWave twice earlier. With no
weapon MicroWave was reduced to a wedgebot which Chopper quickly
flipped. Chopper won by KO and took the championship for the
fourth time.
[center]Patterson-Seibert Tournament 32[/center]

fellow top spinner Unnamed II.

heavy damage and Pancake dropped out and Chopper advanced to the
finals once more to face Unnamed II again.

plate. Chopper was able to control the fight fairly well but
took more damage until on the tenth hit Unnamed II lost a
contact point. Chopper took the championship for the fifth time.
[center]Patterson-Seibert Tournament 33[/center]
Chopper vs Free Ripping
Chopper's first fight was verses Ethan's superheavyweight top
spinner Free Ripping, a rookie that had just destroyed RadioWave
in three hits. The first hit sent the tops flying in opposite
directions. On the second impact, Chopper exploded, blasted into
at least a dozen pieces. Chopper was counted out, taking its
first loss in eleven fights, and joined the elimination bracket.
David conducted extensive repairs after this match because of
how destroyed Chopper was.

David build Pancake Mix.
Chopper vs Pancake Mix
Chopper won by tapout and advanced to fight MicroWave once
again.

frame, dislodging the drive axle, and ripping all the plates off
the bottom of the body. MicroWave's weapon slowly spun down with
its wheel, and it was rendered immobile. MicroWave was counted
out and Chopper won via an incredibly destructive KO.
Chopper vs Unnamed II (elimination bracket semifinal)
With a rematch from last tournament's final, Chopper had to
fight Unnamed II in order to enter the finals. David made sure
Chopper was in peak condition for this fight. However, the first
hit blew it to pieces once more. The base still had a contact
point and could technically still fight, but David tapped out
and Chopper was eliminated.

Chopper vs Ender

First up for Chopper was the rookie vertical disk spinner Ender,
built by Dutch specifically to counter hard-hitting tops. Ender
lacked significant weapon power and reach, but boasted an
extremely durable frame and thick front plow.
On the first engagement, Chopper outmaneuvered Ender and
landed a hit on the left side of its front, ripping the entire
plow off. The shock of the impact also disabled the gearing for
Ender's spinner. David celebrated and on the next series of hits
Chopper landed huge shots to the front of Ender, spinning it
almost entirely around in the air once and taking off its front
self-righter. Ender's spinner came in and out of operation
before stopping for good. Then David hopped Chopper up for an
"aerial attack" which further damaged Ender's weapon system. On
the sixth charge a huge hit split Chopper's body in half and
flipped Ender onto its front, leaving it stranded. Chopper's
lower body still spun and Ender was counted out, giving Chopper
the win by KO.
[attachimg=2]
Damage to Ender's chassis after the match. Ender's frame
remained solid but armor pealed away from it and the plate where
the contact points were mounted was dented in multiple places.
Chopper vs Manta
Chopper's next opponent was a rookie eggbeater in Manta. In the
first charge, the spinners went weapon-to-weapon and Chopper
whacked Manta sideways hard enough to pull its drive wheel along
its axle, partially disabling the eggbeater spinner. In the same
hit Chopper shot under Manta and hit its contact point mounting,
knocking it off and winning by KO in one hit.
Chopper vs Free Ripping (winners' bracket semifinal)
Chopper was blasted apart in three hits, losing by KO again.
Chopper vs MicroWave (elimination bracket semifinal)
Chopper hit MicroWave very hard again and again, eventually
blasting the chassis apart, winning in a dominant KO and
advancing to the finals.

Chopper broke in half in two hits and tapped out, finally being
eliminated.
[center]All-Team Tournament 6.0[/center]
Chopper vs Cutie
Chopper faced another rookie eggbeater, this one the small but
sturdy Cutie. Chopper landed repeated hits but was unable to
disable the other 'bot until engagement number five, where it
won by KO.
Chopper vs MicroWave
Chopper faced yet another rematch with MicroWave. As the fight
went on, Chopper was able to hit MW's left wheel again and
again, nearly ripping the tire off its rim. The gear holding
MicroWave's spinning Disc on worked its way off and launched on
the fifth hit, but this did not impact the rest of the match.
On the ninth hit, Chopper hit MW hard enough to flip the
horizontal spinner. MicroWave attempted to self-right but failed
to and was counted out, giving Chopper another win by KO.
Chopper vs Free Ripping (winners' bracket semifinal)
Chopper took heavy damage and was knocked out in the sixth
engagement. It joined the elimination bracket.
Chopper vs Not That Cute (elimination bracket semifinal)

from Trent. Chopper lost by KO in the fourth hit and was
eliminated.
