Cast of Characters: Red Robin, Nikki Hawkins




Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake as the VP of Research Tim has set up a few of the Robot Wars and other contests for inventors and builders. They are held a few times a year in different places. Tim figures this gives Wayne Tech a chance to find the new brains as they start exploring brains, plus Tim gets to see the cool robots. So today, after the opening speech,Tim is walking to garage/lab checking out the people and items that are there.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki is there! At Robot Wars! It might not be something she participates in often, but she's likely been here a time or two. Mostly she's just there to look, this time she might actually be participating. She has Squishy by her side...but she's got something else with her. A circular design that looks like it could be a re-purposed roomba. Though she's given it an overhaul for sure, attached a few weapons, updated the innards, the wheels are even different. "Nikki's gonna try and win, Squishy, cause it'll be cool if she wins!" Her robot companion just makes a couple of beep-boops in response.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake notices the little robot, and his brow raises a bit. He will come up to Nikki's spot, and offers her a nod. Unlike most VPs he is not doing the suit thing at least not today. He has a shirt with the cover for Lunar Silver Star Story on it. He will offer a smile and says "Hello. " He offers his hand "Tim Drake."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki glances up to Tim when the man sort of shadows her and then she takes his hand and shakes it. "Nikki is Nikki. Nikki's happy to meet Tim." She offers this and then she motions to Squishy. "That's Squishy. Squishy is Nikki's friend. He doesn't fight but this robot will!"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods a bit and says "I am one of the guys who set this up, mind telling me a bit about the robot your building? Anything out of the normal you need?

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki shakes her head. "Nikki's putting him all together just fine. She's not sure if she needs anything more just yet. The robot doesn't even have a name, but it has to earn a name." This much and then Squishy gives a few more beeps and boops to which Nikki lifts her head and looks over. "Squishy, be nice." Then she looks at Tim. "The robot can move faster, and it's low enough it can dart around quick. Nikki wanted to see about maybe giving it a hammer on a lever or something similar. She doesn't quite know what sort of weapon to give it yet."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods his head a bit to this. He squats down to look at Squishy. He studies the little bot with an eye towards it's creation, not touching it. "So this is your best work so far? He seems to be an interesting little bot."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki blushes a little. "Nikki's been trying to make a robot that can do things to help people. Squishy is the first attempt. He can grab stuff, except food and drink. He spills it every time. So Nikki is working on another robot...to do it better." She explains. "But Squishy is special so Nikki keeps him around."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods a bit and says "Early works are always special." He admits "You thought about trying to maybe give him some Gyros in his arms to help him not spill things?

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki thinks on it and then shakes her head. "Nikki doesn't have a lot of stuff to use to build things. She usually goes and gets what she can find in scrap yards." A pause. "She's not sure where to find parts that she can buy... she could buy them..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods a bit and says "Well, with this contest we may have some openings for developing at Wayne tech, and there are a few places where you might be able to order stuff. You have internet access?

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki grins wide. "Yeah! Nikki plays online tournaments for Smite and Heroes of the Storm! It's how Nikki makes most her money." She says this and then looks down at her fighting robot. "...Does Nikki have to win?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake shakes his head a bit and says "Winning may help but we are looking for designs and ideas as well." He offers to her, and pulls out a card and writes down a net address "This is a good place for parts."

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki blinks and then takes the card from him. "Oh! Thanks to Tim for giving Nikki this. This will help Nikki a lot!" She beams a little and stuffs the card into a pocket. "Also. Nikki has heard of Wayne Tech... she's seen some things they've made. Thinks it's neat!"

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Suddenly, there's an All Call for those competing in the competitions. Nikki scrambles to her feet and smiles. "Tim will need to find Nikki later so they can talk more. Nikki has to go! C'mon Squishy." And off she pops, with Squishy diligently following close behind.
