Total Annihilation

Total Annihilation (T.A.) was a DSL HW tournament, based on the annihilator battles from the TV show "Robot Wars" hosted by Thyrus. 16 bots faced in 4 way rumbles and fought until the first robot got KOed. The defeated robot got pulled out and the match got restarted with the 3 remaining bots and so on. The special thing in this tournament was, that the arena changed with every start of a match. He made a promotion video for his tournament.
