Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
I have been thinking about this for a while, and decided that this will be the last tournament I will be writing. And I promise, absoulutly PROMISE, that I will finish this time.
The bad news...Im sorry, this is a real robot tournament*. Vapourbots just get a tad too confusing.
The good news...I am going to get as many people involved as possible anyway...by having them place bets.
What I want each person to do is bet on the robot they think will win the heat, and then the competition. At the end of the tournament, the two people with the most points will be given a special surprise at the end.
Anyways, this is the line-up...and what you can bet for.

Also Chris, how many points do we win or lose from winning/losing a bet?
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
No one loses ANY points. The better the robot(s) you betted goes/go, the more points you get. Once a robot has lost the tournament (or won it, in one case), THEN the points will be tallyed up.
BTW, I dont believe in cheating people out, so youll be pleased to know I decided on all the fight results BEFORE I started.

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
I did consider Gravity, but Id already picked the other five robots, and I wanted to use Roobarb because of its infamous OOTA recovery.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
Its debateable if it would have gone out anyway. It looked like it was going to flop back in under its own steam, but the flipper just speeded that up.

-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
There is no such thing as Spirit of Scorpion... is there?
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
Yes, there is I think. Dantomkia threw it OOTA in series 7.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
Dantomkia threw plain old Scorpion OOTA in series 7. The robot known as Spirit Of Scorpion only competed in Series 6.
All the robots are in their most up-to-date forms.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
OK betting is over. If things go according to plan, the first heat will be up next weekend.
SHOW 1: ALL STARS
Bigger Brother vs Kat 3 vs Diotoir vs Stinger
Behemoth vs Pussycat vs S3 vs King B Powerworks.
You may have fun predictions if you wish, but betting is over. C U Then.

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
BREAKING NEWS: I have an addition to make in the line up. Its based on something Ive always wanted to do.
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Bondi-titch (Australia) vs Diotoir (Eire)
Hard (Belgium) vs Crushtacean (South Africa)
Manta (USA) vs Zeus (Italy)
Terrorhurtz (Czech Republic) vs Riptillion (New Zealand)
Storm 2 (UK) vs Raw Bot (Sweden)
Terror Turtle (Canada) vs Snake Byte (Switzerland)
Cerberus (Cypress) vs Supernova (Sri Lanka)
Tsunami (Germany) vs Gravity (Holland)
There are no bets to be placed on this one. This is purely something I wanted to do. You can post predictions for this anyway. I will do this between War Of The Weapons and House Robot Rumble.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
Diotoir (Eire)
Crushtacean (South Africa)
Manta (USA)
Terrorhurtz (Czech Republic)
Storm 2 (UK)
Snake Byte (Switzerland)
Supernova (Sri Lanka)
Tsunami (Germany)
are my predicted winnners
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
my predictions are Diotoir to toss bondi-titch
crushtacean to pit hard
manta to push zeus down the pit
terrorhurtz to whack Riptillion to pieces
storm 2 to do the same as it did to the steel avenger to the swedish team
snake byte to pierce,crushand then put the turtle in the pit
supernova to reflect off cerberus armour to hit the pit switch then to spin into the pit
and gravity to toss tsunami OOTA
now for the nagging and questions
Can someone tell me what Bondi-titch and Zeus looks like and Cypress is actually spelt CyprUS us not ess
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
Well, Im surprised...you comment on my spelling, yet make CONSTANT grammar mistakes of your own. Its so funny in its own way.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
Bondi-titch (Australia) vs Diotoir (Eire) - Diotoir; just because =P
Hard (Belgium) vs Crushtacean (South Africa) - Hard; Crushtacean has no real way of grabbing on with those two claws.
Manta (USA) vs Zeus (Italy) - Manta; easy victory here.
Terrorhurtz (Czech Republic) vs Riptillion (New Zealand) - Terrorhurtz; again, easy.
Storm 2 (UK) vs Raw Bot (Sweden) - Storm 2; its just way better with more experience.
Terror Turtle (Canada) vs Snake Byte (Switzerland) - Snake Byte; I belive Snake won before, so it should go the same way.
Cerberus (Cypress) vs Supernova (Sri Lanka) - Supernova; if it doesnt brake down.
Tsunami (Germany) vs Gravity (Holland) - Gravity; I just think its a lower robot on the whole and can flip Tsunami OOTA easier. And of course, Holland is better than Germany. ;)
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
What design is Terror Turtle?
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
It has a barrel sort of chassis with a disc at the front. Its armor is really weak and I dont think its invertible but I may be wrong.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
The RW7 version was invertible, Im sure. Anyways, my picks for the winners are:
- Diotoir (Eire)
- Hard (Belgium)
- Manta (USA)
- Terrorhurtz (Czech Republic)
- Storm 2 (UK)
- Snakebite (Switzerland)
- Supernova (Sri Lanka)
- Tsunami (Germany)
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
It was invertable in Series 7. Thats how it survived Atomics first flip.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
My predictions are...
1) Diotior
2) Crushtacean
3) Manta
4) Terrorhurtz
5) Storm II
6) Snake Byte
7) Supernova
8) Gravity
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
I havent got a clue who Bondi-titch is, but Diotoir is a decent robot so my predictions are:
Diotior
Crushtecean
Manta
Terrorhurtz
Storm II
Snake Byte
Supernova
Gravity
gee, most of these battles might be very one-sided

Well, you wont have too much longer to wait. The battle has been sussed, the introductions have been written, I just need to put the fight into words, and itll be up. Im determined not to let this one slip.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
OK, Im going to be busy this weekend...the first fight will DEFINATLY be up by next weekend.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
OK everyone, settle down. I hope you bought along the tastiest popcorn, because, right here, right now, its time for...
ROBOT WARS EXTREME
And to start, here are some of the best robots in the country, fighting it out in the best battles this side of the galaxy. Its our All Stars Tournament.
Lets welcome our first four bots.
FROM BRIGHTON IN EAST SUSSEX; BIGGER BROTHER
A Robot Wars veteran, first and foremost. The Watts family, its creators, call it A Nightmare In Metal, and its previous winning streak has rightly justified that name. This robot is fast, with armour that most discs bounce off, and an extremely powerful spiked flipper, capabale of, quite literally, doing anyone in. And indeed, this robot has beaten tough robots like Chaos 2, Tornado and Hypno-Disc in its history. However, it is somewhat vulnerable to axes which can pierce its armour. This was a grand finalist and runner up in the fifth series of Robot Wars.
FROM DUBLIN IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND; DIOTOIR
It may look cute and cuddly, but this Irish furball is certainly not fur brained. It is low to the ground with a zerp ground clearance, veru manuverable with a zero turning circle, the spring loaded crushing and flipping shovel is fairly powerful, it has experience, and it has beaten the mighty Tornado in the past. However, the petrol engine and the fur covering make this robot badly flammable!
FROM APPLESTON IN SURREY; KAT 3
This cat has plenty to roar about. A Robot Wars veteran, the team previously competed with a robot called Kater Killer. This bot has been much more successful. Its wedge shape is designed to plow into just about any robot around, and it has an extremely lethal looking axe, which has previously done some very nasty damage. However, the aluminium and polycarbonate armour could be thicker...
FROM LINCON; STINGER
A grand finalist in the fourth series of Robot Wars, Stinger remains one of the most original robots around. This robot is essentially two giant wheels with a very large, VERY dangerous arm, tipped witha nasty bludgeioning spike. It can act as a mace, a spike, an axe, whatever it wants to be, all swinging down at maximum damage. All the electronics, motors ext are mounted in the giant wheels. Nevertheless, said wheels are very vulnerable.
ROBOTEERS, STAND BY.
Booth 1: Bigger Brother, Diotoir.
Booth 2: Kat 3, Stinger.
House Robots: Sir Killalot, Dead Metal.
3...2...1...ACTIVATE!
And the first of our All Star battles is off and underway. Stinger, the fastest here, makes a bee-line straight for Kat 3, aiming to hit it with that giant tail-mace-hammer thing...of course, we ALL know what Stingers aim is like. In other words, it totally misses the Kat. Thats no good. Meanwhile, Bigger Brother decides to flip Diotoir. It doesnt quite work, the Irish furball only goes up so far, then crashes back down. If you ask me, Id say these two are the most durable in this melee. The three of them swerve, with Stinger out of the picture for the moment. Kat 3 now swings the axe, and hits Bigger Brother. This is interesting. Ive mentioned before that Bigger Brother is vulnerable to axes, like the one on top of Kat 3, and the weapon has indeed gone through the armour. Kat 3 pulls the axe back, but is flipped by Diotoir. We all adore Diotoir, its been said so many times now. Kat 3 though manages to self-right. The axe works as a Srimech (a Self Righting Mechanism). Meanwhile, Bigger Brother charges, and indeed flips, Stinger, who now whacks something that isnt the floor. The mace whacks Bigger Brother a few more times. This is getting really exciting so far. A lot of experience being shown.
Wooooooo
Ah, Bigger Brother has just hit the pit release button. Maybe its trying to get one or more of its oppodents into the pit. Well, Stinger is closest, and its getting close...Bigger Brother comes in with a little nudge...and Stinger goes into the pit. Bye bye Stinger. Youre no All Star. Now, Bigger Brother goes back to check on Kat 3 and Diotoir, who are having a good old tussle. Bigger Brother lunges underneath...Diotoir, and fires the flipper! Diotoir lands on its back. Now, can Diotoir do anything? It fires the flipper...HA HA! BOTH ITS EYES HAVE FALLEN OFF! Thats about it. Oh, poor Diotoir. It looked so promising earlier on. But its on its back, and it cant do anything. Bigger Brother now attacks Kat 3, whilst Refbot decides that Diotoir has been overturned for too long...
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10!
And Diotoir has been red carded. Now maybe the House Robots can have some fun. Or maybe not, as Bigger Brother quickly darts in, and pushes Diotoir...right into the pit. How kind.
CEASE
Diotoir and Stinger are eliminated.
BIGGER BROTHER AND KAT 3 GO THROUGH...
SCORES
AJ - N/A (Hell find out later when S3 fights next)
Martijn - 1 point. (Bigger Brother has won a battle)
Daniel - 0 points (Stinger has lost)
Tony - 1 point (Bigger Brother has won a battle)
Alex - N/A
Timothy - 1 point.
The further the robot the person betted would win the heat goes, the more points they get. If Bigger Brother was to win the next round, then Martijn etc would get another point. If Bigger Brother actually wins the heat, they get the whole 3 points.
See ya soon

Whilst Id like you guys to know that the second fight is under-way, please understand that the fights may be few and far between due to College work. Ill probably have some more regularly once I get to the Christmas holidays though.
-
Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On
FROM HEMEL HEMPSTEAD IN HERTFORDSHIRE; BEHEMOTH
A huge truck like robot and a real veteran of the wars, this robot is not to be under-rated by any means. Well, how many robots do you know that can take on Hypno-disc and receive minimal damage? Behemoth is a six-wheel drive machine powering to speeds of 12mph, with its main weapon being a titanium bucket scoop, coupled with a nasty axe to grapple and damage. Its strong, and almost unbeatable...at least it would be if it didnt have so many reliability problems.
FROM HAMPSHIRE; KING B POWERWORKS
A semi-finalist in Series 2, Kking B Powerworks still thunders along to glory...well, maybe it stumbles more than thunders. A low slung invertable robot based somewhat on a grand finalist from Series 1, the King delivers his command with two lifting spikes at the front and an 8000rpm spinning blade at the back. Axes and spinners are best avoided for this fragile king, as its wheels are vulnerable, and the king may be over-throne and re-tyred early.
FROM WORCHESTER; PUSSYCAT
...But I must warn you, hes anything but cuddly! This interesting pyramid shaped robot is one of the oldest robots around, and still fairly successful. Its weapon is a double edged eight toothed blade capable of some very nasty damage. And if that wasnt enough, the position of its wheels allow it to run any way up, hence its name. All in all, a very strong contender, but its wheels are exposed and the ground clearance is too high.
FROM DUNSTHORPE IN LEICESTER; S3
Veterans of the wars with previous machine Sting (S3=Sting 3, if you think about it), this new robot has had plenty more luck, and a LOT more bite! Shaped a bit like a hammerhead shark, S3s major weapon is a very large vertical flywheel, weighing in at about 17 kilos or so, and spinning at speeds of around 1000rpm. Destructivity is HIGH, as Plunderbird and Mousetrap have all too easily found out. However, it has a wide turning circle, and I think the aluminium armour could be thicker.
ROBOTEERS STAND BY
Booth 1: Behemoth, King B Powerworks
Booth 2: Pussycat, S3
House Robots: Shunt, Growler
3...2...1...ACTIVATE!
And the second group of four is off and underway. This group has even more experience than the previous group. Go back to Series 2, and youd see all four of these robots in lesser forms. Anyways, the first clash is Behemoth on King B Powerworks. The king is lifted. And flipped. That wont worry it though. It can run both ways up. Pussycat gets a nibble in on Behemoth with the saw blade. S3 is heading towards Pussycat...AND IT HITS THE SIDE! A NASTY GASH FORMS! S3 is evil! It can literally tear another robot to shreds. It is, first and foremost, not a robot you want to get angry. Behemoth comes in though, and gets underneath S3 from behind the wheel. He flips, and S3 lands on its side. S3 is now rolling around, trying to get back off. This could cause a few problems. Meanwhile Pussycat is having a clash with King B Powerworks. The cat trying to use the blade, but King B pushing back. Its similar in many ways, King B Powerworks, to a former Grand Finalist way back in series 1 called T.R.A.C.I.E, with the low slung body and the ability to run both ways up. Im not sure how many of you remember. Meanwhile, S3 still hasnt recovered. Behemoth will now do the charge...it is, moving the hammerhead shark to the arena wall...AND FLIP! S3 flys out of the arena...OH, BUT WHACKS BEHEMOTH WITH ITS DISC ON THE WAY OVER! Talk about a wounded animal fighting back. And that blow stunned Behemoth. Meanwhile, Pussycat has now worked its way around the side of King B Powerworks. The spikes dont appear to be working. Is the saw spinning? I dont think so. What a truly spectacular performance by Pussycat. What could it take to stop them. What damage has King B Powerworks taken in all of this...AND WHAT DID THAT BLOW BY S3 DO TO BEHEMOTH? Behemoth has not moved at all since it flipped S3 out of the arena! Somethings not right! The other two robots are now nudging Behemoth a bit! Make that a lot! I THINK BEHEMOTH HAS BEEN IMMOBILIZED! THERE IS NO MOVEMENT IN BEHEMOTH...AND THE REFBOT AGREES! Hes counting Behemoth out! Well, that was disapointing. Behemoth looked so impressive just a few moments ago, taking out S3 single handed. But now, it has been given the Red Card and is OUT of the All Stars. Growler comes in and grabs Behemoth, before dragging it onto the Flame Pit. Ahh...lovely. Burned moth.
CEASE
Behemoth and S3 are eliminated!
PUSSYCAT AND KING B POWERWORKS GO THROUGH!!!
Now, lets see how the scores look now.
AJ - 0 points (S3 lost)
Martijn - 1 point (Bigger Brother won 1 battle)
Daniel - 0 points (Stinger lost)
Tony - 1 point (Bigger Brother won 1 battle)
Alex - 1 point (King B Powerworks won 1 battle)
Timothy - 1 point (Bigger Brother won 1 battle)
See you next time. Heres the line-up for the second round.
Bigger Brother vs Pussycat
Kat 3 vs King B Powerworks.
