Wildfire is a vertical spinner with a wedge designed specifically to attempt OOTA's and deal the biggest hits. Created by Hoppin from RRC. It is often teased and called a "Cobalt Clone" by other drivers. It did well, mulching Snapshot in its first match, and going 3-1 in the undercards, and becoming the superheavyweight runner up before losing to the champion Koto. There was also a middleweight version of it built, called Inferno, which did marginally better than its counterpart.
Design[]
Wildfire is a wedge-shaped robot with a spinning disk. Its design is based of Cobalt from King of Bots. Its spinner is designed to right the robot should it get flipped over. Its main downfalls were its slow speed and almost nonexistent pushing power.

It managed to weather these and continued pummeling Snapshot, eventually Snapshot managed to get a flip and sent Wildfire spasming wildly across the arena as the spinner collided with the floor. by the time Wildfire self righted there was too little time left for either robot to do much. Wildfire won an easy 3-0 decision, giving it a promising 1-0 record.
