Atomic
Atomic was a Heavyweight Flipper built by Sammy for BBEANS 2. Atomic seemed overmatched in the first round vs. Sabre. Atomic's flipper motors were damaged early by Sabre, and had trouble flipping after that. One Sabre ground away (the other one was rolling around on its side) for most of the match, before Atomic helped the other Sabre back to its wheels, and the Sabres after that preceded to rip off the flippers, then the wheels of Atomic, and Atomic was counted out. Stratosphere was flipped out early in the next match, but was too solidly built (and the flippers and drive of Atomic too fried by the fence), to be flipped out again when it was thrown back in by the damaging floor of the arena. Stratosphere was counted out for a win. Popeye was KOed in a quick fashion, mostly because when it was flipped over the edge, it really didn't bounce up from the floor, it just twitched a bit, and took major damage until a KO. Ordo Malleus joined many other competitors in being flipped over the rail, and was soon KOed. Red Star (DSL V2.0) was KOed much the same way as Popeye was. The final match against T-One showed that Atomic's AI could have been better, because it turned too fast, which opened up a side and led T-One to victory. Sammy later competed with Undercutter in BBEANS 4, and he is ranked 40th in BBEANS Standings.
