Robot History[]

2001[]

In its Heat Millennium Bug faced To Follow and Rita Rocks. To Follow made the first stride getting ahead of its opponents while Rita Rocks was close behind in second and Millennium Bug just starting off a little late. Despite the late start, Millennium Bug managed to get ahead of Rita Rocks and started to race the quick To Follow, the two becoming neck and neck. However, disaster struck To Follow who started crossing lanes and walking to its left while Rita Rocks fell over. This allowed Millennium Bug to swoop in for a victory while To Follow walk completely off the race track and out of sight.

In the Semi Finals it faced Scuttle, Junior and Photophattiephobia. As with before, Scuttle exploded out of the starting line, shooting past all the opponents who had barely even started. Although slightly slower, Scuttle managed to finish the race incredibly quick. Meanwhile, Photophattiephobia failed to move and instead just faced the side wall while both Millennium Bug and Junior was neck and neck as they both made decent progress to qualify with Scuttle. Scuttle began to tease the other competitors by going back and fourth on the race track. Millennium Bug started gaining a lead on Junior and managed to sprint its way ahead a gained second, qualifying. Junior would later finish twenty seconds later also qualifying.

In the Grand Final it faced Cheeky Boy 1 as well as Scuttle and Junior for a second time. As with the previous races, Scuttle shot out but this time with competition from Cheeky Boy 1. But beyond the first quarter of the race track, Cheeky Boy 1's slippery nature took its toll allowing Scuttle to zoom past winning the race with Cheeky Boy 1 secondly. Meanwhile a separate battle took place between Millennium Bug and Junior for Bronze. Millennium Bug was the faster of the two and managed to keep itself just ahead of Junior. The two robots moved as quickly as they could and never strayed away from the middle of their individual lanes. Junior sped up slightly and got closer to Millennium Bug in terms of distance but Millennium Bug just managed to get the third place position with Junior finish last some moments later.
