Robot History
Discovery Season 4
Wan Hoo started off 2019 with a match against Brian Nave and Captain Shrederator. In response, Wan Hoo opted to remove its front wedgelets and add other defensive armor on the front to protect it from Captain Shrederator's atttacks. When the match began, this didn't seem to be working as Wan Hoo was taking hits from Captain Shrederator while not really able to cause any big hits in return. Additionally, they were struggling to drive around the arena as a whole and get their weapon going. Wan Hoo eventually lost part of its defensive shield, but it still kept going, taking more hits from Captain Shrederator as it hung on. Wan Hoo soon got a lucky break, when after taking another hit, Captain Shrederator stopped moving. Wan Hoo celebrated with a victory dance as Captain Shredertor was counted out.
Next for Wan Hoo was newcomer Shatter!. For this fight, Wan Hoo added special top armor to protect itself from Shatter's hammer, which forced them to remove one of the front wedgelets for the weapon. When the match began, it was off to a good start for Wan Hoo as they were dishing out the hits, but not causing much damage. However, Wan Hoo soon started to take hits from Shatter!'s hammer and wasn't really able to mount any counterattacks when smoke began to pour out and its weapon belt snapped. With no weapon, Wan Hoo was forced to improvise and did its best to try and disable Shatter! another way. Luckily, Wan Hoo was able to get under Shatter! a few times, but without its weapon, it couldn't really follow up with any damage. Wan Hoo continued to take blow after blow from Shatter! and both robots survived to the end of the fight and the judges awarded Shatter! a unanimous 3-0 decision.
