The Crash & Burn Tournament: Other Weights!

Hey people! While you wait for the C&BT2 to start, heres something to tide you over besides the ATTTWI - Crash & Burn: Other Weights!

Basic Robot Wars rules apply, but no house robots. The arena is from RW5.

I need 4 people to enter:

-a featherweight (max weight: 12.5kg)
-a lightweight (max weight: 25kg)
-a middleweight (max weight: 50kg)
-a superheavyweight (max weight: 150kg)

NO realies, unless the robots are your own. This is purely vapourbots. Throw in some stats, and lets see what you guys have.

Line-ups will be like this in each weight class:

Bot 1 vs. Bot 2 (fight 1)
Bot 3 vs. Bot 4 (fight 2)

Winner of Fight 1 vs. Winner of Fight 2.

Really simple, and yet should be fun. May the best bots win! :)

Ill enter, but Ill need to see if I can find my stats. Ill get some in ASAP.

Fuzzel vs. Tiny Tengu

Middleweights

Nuzzel vs. Waynestock
Tom vs. Blizzard

Superheavyweights

Red Knight vs. Puzzel
Octo-push 3 vs. Walk Away

Scarlet Touch vs. Sith

Start spinning when he goes for me. If he wants to get under me, he has to get hit by me first. After Ive weakened him a bit, go for the pit.

Dales Dead Bot vs. Little Big Bot
Uh...avoid Infusion. I dont even remember how this damn thing works XD



Nuzzel vs. Waynestock
Flip it left and right until the buzzer, try for an OOTA or a flip into the pit at least once.

Octo-push 3 vs. Walk Away

Its an improvment over these bricks WA always had to fight XD Dont move unless I have to, force him to come to me, and hopefully Ill tear him up.

wuzzel vs Wrangulator: spin up asap and keep the spinning bar between wrangulator and rear wheels. Let the opponent come to me, im not chasing.

Fuzzel vs. Tiny Tengu: spin up the eggbeater en drive forward into Tiny Tengu. Keep Tiny Tengu on the defense.

Nuzzel vs. Waynestock: Hit it as hard and as fast as much as Nuzzel can. It can selfright with the axe.

Red Knight vs. Puzzel:Flip Red Knight out of the arena as soon as possible. The 4kg of co2 go fast with a ram that big.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the -1>ff6000>Crash & Burn Tournament: OTHER WEIGHTS!

Our battle for today is...

Wuzzel vs. Wrangulator

Wuzzel is an invertible T-shaped bot with 5mm aluminum armour, not bad for a featherweight. Powering this small beast are 2 720 BB torque motors that run at 12 volts. But the nastiest part is that Code:BLACK style undercutting bar made from titanium! Unfortunately, its very easy to flip.

Wrangulator is a diamond-shaped bot with wedges and spikes that lift up off the ground when spinning to rip and dice! It has the power of Rip in its innards, making a plentiful 20mph, but its got lowly 2mm aluminum, 3 less than its opponent, and its light for a feather, which is saying something. :proud:

Start your engines, folks, the Other Weights tournament is under way! And very nearly off the bat we have a hit from Wrangulator on Wuzzel before the blade got up to speed...but the wedge lifted up from the ground there, and it went over top of Wuzzel, and Wrangulator tips up and over! Not that itll do much difference as its invertible and the exact same shape upside-downy, but maybe its control will be hindered? Wuzzel seems to think so, and after waiting a moment for its deadly blade to achieve maximum velocity bores into the dazed Wrangulator and shreds off one of the side spikes! Ooh...thatll cost him. Wrangulator away and about and making quite a rout, almost driving over the flame pit, now coming a full circle around for a hit on Wuzzels tire but Leo merely wheels the machine to face the wedge and -
CRASH!
AGH! What a mess of sparks! The outcome of this interference doesnt seem to be that good...and sure enough, there is damage, to Wrangulators front wedge! The front aluminum panel is torn sideways, and some gears and axles are exposed! But the same collision also has lifted Wuzzel off the ground and sent him sprawling across the arena! Whats more is that the blade doesnt seem to be spinning as fast! Who has the advantage? Id say it would be Wuzzel, as the T-bot is recovering from his spell and is closing in on the wounded Wrangulator. Wrangulator is reeling and attempts a spin but the blade of Wuzzel finds the side and shoots off some sparks! Chris isnt too happy with the way things are going right now, and decides to take the only option he can: the pit. Leo seems to know the same, and Wuzzel rear pushes Wrangulator from the side, and into the CPZ corner. Wrangulator is unable to escape the corner, and sits there, waiting. Ah, but Leo was waiting, too...for his blade to reach full speed! Now Wuzzel relinquishes his grip on Wrangulator, who is able to drive forwards along the wall, but Wuzzel is right there with a gargantuan slash to the hindquarters of Wrangulator!
CRASH!
Not only does this grieviously gash open the armour, but it tosses Chris featherweight right back into the corner! And Im seeing some steam...Im seeing some smoke...and Im seeing Wuzzel plant his titanium spinning bar right back into the front wedge!
CRASH!
I think the bell has tolled for Wrangulator, as its front armour is destroyed, chewed up and spit out, about 5 feet away! And Wrangulator lays pathetically on the arena floor, smoke streaming out of the wheel holes and exposed front. But nope, Leos gotta cause more damage, and Wuzzel continues his onslaught...
CRASH!
A hit to the front again tears out a motor, which slides along the floor and hits the wall.
CRASH!
Another hit, to the side, slices into the armour, and almost severs the bottom plate.
CRASH!
The same side panel is torn off completely, and all the mechanics are exposed.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
More hits, and finally all we see of Wrangulator...is a mangled corpse of what was once a perfectly working robot. Panels strewn everywhere, motors, batteries, wheels...gone.

CEASE!

Wrangulator gets wrangled into the scrap heap. :proud:
Wuzzel advances to the Featherweight Final!

Next battle: Scarlet Touch vs. Sith

Scarlet Touch vs. Sith
Try and flip in, as thats really my only option.

Fuzzel vs. Tiny Tengu
Go for those lovelly exposed wheels.

Tom vs. Blizzard
Try and attack it with the goring prongs, and just grind it into the wall, using my ability to move sideways to dodge the flipper.

Red Knight vs. Puzzel
As my weapon is automated, just follow it around and let it do its job - he shouldnt be able to get beneath the plate without the disc hitting it.

interesting how people always think that unarmoured wheels are a weakness. :)

(Message edited by leorcc on May 16, 2007)

Well, they arent always - vapourbotting does tend to exagerate the damage that things actually do, to wheels (see: slammer) but as a full body spinner, they are the most obvious target.

Besides, if a wheel gets torn off, it makes moving around that much harder, not to mention makes it pratically impossible to push anything since it cant move in a straight line, and reduces speed somewhat.

So yeah, targetable wheels=bad.

In the words of sewer snakes owner:

Youll only get my wheels if you do your job, you wont if i do mine.

There are loads of robots out there with targetable wheels that never have a problem. Simply because the wheels are on the outside doesnt make them weak.

Yes, but there is a greater chance of wheels getting shredded when the opponent has a powerful spinning weapon, or is one, than not. In this case there is. No axe is capable of causing such damage to a wheel, and a wedge/flipper is certainly out of the question. Good spinning weapons + opponent having exposed wheels = a good chance of opponents wheels getting destroyed. :)

Unless youre Overkill. :proud:

If i were Alex i would not look at the wheels but that thing spinning in between. :)

Check the robot on my profile. The class it fights in has the most overpowered insane spinners of all, and no opponent ever even touched those wheels.

Im obviously aware of the weapon, and Id of coruse rather not get hit by it - however, I cant really base a legitimate strategy on defense - but as tengu is a full body spinner, if you hit me, I hit you, and my weapon is going to be lkess flimsy than you. Ill go for the wheels, but if I hit you anywhere it does me good.

I am not saying Tiny Tengu has no chance or cant knock the wheels off, my point is only that in my experience having wheels on the outside doesnt need to be a bad thing as so often protrayed. Touch as nails for instance has been driving with exposed wheels since 2001, and is still using the same wheels.

Which is fair enough, Im just saying that vapours do suffer from wheel damage far more easily - practically every fight my own slammer has lost has been due to people somehow destroyign the wheels, despite whatever renforcements I describe in the stats.

Anyways, regardless of outcome, should be a good match

Hello, folks, our next fight is...

Scarlet Touch vs. Sith

Scarlet Touch is a concept by Anthony Politzi, and quite nippy it is, with those two side hammers. Its also got two wedges, front and rear, to try and prevent other wedges from getting under and getting even. Its also got a good 5mm of Ti armour, but will its slighty poor control be its red card out?

Sith weighs the same as its opponent at 12kg, but is a much different bot. Its side are slanted to foil wedges from the side, and it has electronic plates that dig into the ground to get under anything, so says the wise Alex. Its also got a dandy red flipping arm that is powered by actuators, but thats pretty much it.

Roboteers, stand by...

Its Sith who breaks the immobile silence, and being the faster of the two is able to hit Scarlet Touch right away, before he can do anything! The plates act, and Sith slams Scarlet Touch against the wall as he does so! Now, with Scarlet Touch trapped against the wall, what can Sith do? FLIP! Thats what? And a nice one too, but not quite as Scarlet Touch comes to the nearest edge of the arena but manages to stay back in, being tricky to flip. Sith is slightly peeved at this, but now Scarlet Touch is spinning madly now, upsy-downy, hammers flying, and Sith is at a standstill at the moment. I dont think that those hammers can do much against Siths armour, but Alex isnt taking any chances! Or maybe he is, as Sith is now cautiously approaching the whirling tempest that is Scarlet Touch. And we have lift-off, as Sith guns forward without warning, and the hammer slams against the side of Sith, but nothing has happened in Tonys favour because Sith is alive and well, and tossing Scarlet Touch right against the wall! Tonys bot does a sort of wheelie on the spot, still inverted, and Sith streaks by, bumping the tire a little, and now theres a light tap to the rear of Sith, but nothing major. Now very near the floor flipper, which can, in this tournament, go off very suddenly, I must warn you. Heres Sith, with a shove to Scarlet touch, past the flipper into the corner, and Scarlet Touch feels the ragged touch of the arena wall! Sith activates his own flipper but only catching a wheel gently turns Scarlet Touch right-side-up, and Tonys bot is away and spinning once more. Sith approaching, a little more confident this time, it seems, and oh, goodness me, one of the hammers caught the wedge and sent Tonys thwacker away a few feet. Ole! And Scarlet Touch hasnt lost any of its momentum, its still in a desperate twirl of death! Sith, into the danger zone! And finally there is some damage, to the side of Sith, a small dent but clearly visible in the titanium side! But Scarlet Touch is now in a stranglehold, as Sith has flicked under him, and right into the wall! FLIP! Surviving again is Scarlet Touch as he still stays put in the arena...Sith is rather determined to boot Scarlet Touch to the sidelines. :proud: Theres another charge from him, and the wedges on Scarlet Touch are doing no good against the lifting plates, and Sith has him again, and wheel against wheel, and FLIP! Less impressive, and Scarlet Touch gets away again, spinning, a whirling dervish. Sith boldly thrusts himself back into the spinning hammers. Whoa-ho, Scarlet Touch is sent back again, with a little bump away. Sith is in his face and FLIP! Right onto the flame pit! Scarlet Touch flees the flames and accidentally hits the arena wall in his frenzy. Sith in again, and another FLIP! Scarlet Touch lands a few feet away from that toss and spins again, but not fast enough to prevent another tackle from the boxy Sith, and FLIP! Tossed into the wall! Scarlet Touch bounces away, and is again spinning! What perseverance! Sith is less than impressed by this, Im very sure, and drives backwards towards the pit release button.

10...9...8...7...

Whats that, were almost out of time? Oh, and the pit descends, but Scarlet Touch is still spinning.

6...5...4...

Sith tackles the spinning thwacker and gets another spectacular dent in the side!

3...2...1...

Sith carries Scarlet Touch to the wall and, once more...FLIP!

CEASE!

OH MY GOODNESS! Scarlet Touch is finally out of the arena, but unfortunately for Sith, it happened after time ran out, so to the judges it goes!

As from the heavyweight Crash & Burn Tournament, the decision is based on style, control, damage, aggression, and strategy. All categories are out of 5.

Scarlet Touch - Sith

Style (2/5 - 3/5)
Control (1/5 - 4/5)
Damage (3/5 - 2/5)
Aggression (0/5 - 5/5)
Strategy (2/5 - 3/5)

TOTAL = (8/25 - 17/25)

Scarlet Touch is touched by the devil. Back to bloody hell you go, sir! :proud:
Sith advances to the Featherweight Final!

Next battle: Dales Dead Bot vs. Little Big Bot

Featherweight Final: Wuzzel vs. Sith

LBBS TACTICS
Weak armour, huh? Well, whats an axe to do? Try to aim for the sides, best I dont run into any problems concerning the flipper/crusher thing.

Wow. Destroyed. I expected to do a little more damage than that [But at least I still won the damage catagory XD]

Okay, were starting the lightweight bracket today! The first fight is...

Dales Dead Bot vs. Little Big Bot

Dales Dead Bot certainly isnt dead, but it might make others dead, with those nasty flipping/crunching spikes on the wedge. Its shaped like Atomic, and has 6mm Lexan armour. Anthony says its weak armour, but for a lightweight...it really isnt. However, it can be flipped from the sides and rear.

Little Big Bot is like a Biohazard of sorts. However, its got no skirts at all, and not much experience. It does, however, have a slight speed advantage, and a REALLY nasty axe akin to Dominator IIs. But it lacks originality...and it can also be flipped easily - could that prove fatal?

Its on, and both bots take off, LBB avoiding a head-on collision with DDB, which is a good strategy as the spikes on DDB are very dangerous and are very capable of winning him the match here. LBB is, as said Chris said, trying to aim for the sides, but DDB is not allowing that to happen, turning on the spot and keeping that nasty front end towards LBB. LBB isnt getting anywhere using this tactic and decides to open the pit, but DDB has intercepted him immediately, rear pushing him from the side and into the wall! LBB escapes and hits the button from the side, opening the pit...and taking off the button too. HEY! What are you doing with that axe, LBB?! Youre not allowed to attack the arena! :angry: Our poor pit release button! And DDB very nearly kills himself, driving dangerously close to the pit of oblivion. LBB has now put the button on the floor flipper...? And DDB has rear tackled LBB as the flipper is up, and the button goes sailing over the arena wall! This...this is not in the rules of...you should be ashamed of yourself, LBB! Anyway, DDB now has LBB, but LBB drives away before the deadly spikes trap their prey! Ooh, how close! Tony can sense Chris tense state from over in his own control booth! DDB pursues his prey across the arena, but LBB pulls a slight of wheel, and DDB goes shooting right by him! Chris plan has worked like a charm, and LBB plows into the rear of DDB and brings down the axe! However, the arm of the axe gets in the way, slamming against the side and causing absolutely no damage! Tough break! DDB reverses and piles LBB into the wall opposite, forcing that axe up again, and LBB pulls it back. WHAM! OH, what a hit! A bad time for DDB to drive off, as the axe finally finds its mark, AND ITS STUCK TO THE REAR! the axe head has penetrated the 6mm Lexan in the rear, an almost perfect 45 degree angle near the top. Now, who has the better pushing power? I would say that its LBB, and now Chris utilizes his bots advantage and pushes DDB away from the wall, and TOWARDS THE PIT - but no! The right side wheels of DDB grind furiously and just miss the pit! LBB is still in command, though, and pulls back...which releases the axes grip on the rear of DDB! No longer the victim, DDB turns around and rams the fazed LBB with the wedge, but LBB rolls off the side before the spikes can clamp down. Chris recovers from his shock and LBB jets away towards the floor flipper again. DDB lowers the spikes this time and heads in LBBs direction, but LBB drives right at him and flies over him before the spikes can pop up and flip him! A dull THOOMP as LBB lands on all four of its wheels, but DDB has turned around and headed at LBB. LBB waits for him to approach, and fires the axe. The axe penetrates the armour of the wedge just above the spikes and thankfully comes back out. But LBB at this point is too darned close to DDB to avoid more contact and the spikes pop, and FLIP! Over goes LBB. And the axe rights LBB...right into DDBs open grasp! The spikes lower, and LBB is finally and nicely grappled. Where to, DDB? Ah, the pit, but of course. A few seconds later, POOF! Down goes LBB into the darkness.

CEASE!

Little Big Bot certainly isnt the big one around here!
Dales Dead Bot advances to the Lightweight Final!

Next battle: Fuzzel vs. Tiny Tengu

The second lightweight fight is...

Fuzzel vs. Tiny Tengu

Fuzzel looks more like a shelf than anything. Its got 15mm of high-density polyethylene and a vicious-looking eggbeater-style vertical spinner powered by a 24V Brushless motor. However, its got exposed wheels, and its weapon only spins one way. Will Fuzzel be messed up?

Tiny Tengu is the miniscule version of the After Burn 2 champ herself. Shes got the two blades on the sides, and the spinning speed is 1000rpm. She also has a sort of aluminum foam skirt to help against wedges. It can also self-right. Ist possible to defeat her?

Up pops the bar, and Tiny Tengu is back in business! The ring spins, and Fuzzel is in immediate peril here! And its NOT MOVING!!! The eggbeater weapon is penetrated into Fuzzels own internals, loosing one of the motors! Leo is completely speechless, and wide is the grin on Mr. Holts face as Tiny Tengu approaches Fuzzel from the side and impacts the wheels. It is dislodged by the hit, and falls flat on the ground. Fuzzel is going nowhere fast, and Tiny Tengu is coming in for more hits!
CRASH!
The eggbeater is completely loosed and falls into Fuzzels chassis! The same hit, however, has disabled Tiny Tengus spinning shell! But its all over now, as the immobile Fuzzel finally gives up. Tiny Tengu opens the pit, careful not to take the button off, and slowly, but surely, shoves Fuzzel towards the hole. BOOM!

CEASE!

Fuzzel gets his fuzz trimmed off, and a wheel, too. :proud: Only one hit decided the winner of this quick match, folks!
Tiny Tengu advances to the Lightweight Final!

Next battle: Nuzzel vs. Waynestock

Lightweight Final: Dales Dead Bot vs. Tiny Tengu

Beautiful. Tengu. Even a bite sized Tengu is bad news.

I think I might have a chance against Nuzzel, though.

It will be a cold day in Hell before Im speechless Kody. :)

Congrats to Alex.

Anthony, of course you have a chance against Nuzzel.



Just not a big one. :rofl:

Lets move on to the Middleweights!

Nuzzel vs. Waynestock

Nuzzel is a rather blocky vapourbot with a nasty scythe/nail-shaped axe, capable of dealing 317kg of pressure to the tip. It also has 40mm of high-density polyethylene, however it has no skirts or wedging around it to protect it against flippers/other wedges. That could be a problem because hes dealing with...

Waynestock, inspired by Anthony Politzis own Novastorm 2. Well, the shape is inspired, but the weaponry is quite different. The whole front wedge is a flipper powered by 2 2kg CO2 tanks, however its not invertible, and due to its shape it might not be able to right itself properly.

Nuzzel flies across the arena, and up over Waynestock, who fires the flipper to late, and Nuzzel goes flying, and lands back onto his wheels, and slows to a grinding halt before the arena wall. I think I can smell the rubber burning from here. Waynestock has recovered from the near self-flip, and reverses into Nuzzel, and sliding the rear wedge under the axebot before he can turn around. Nuzzel tries to reverse but its pretty hard to when neither of your wheels are touching the floor, or the opposing robot. Waynestock turns around, and Nuzzel slides off the wedge as he does so. Waynestock is there with the flipper but Nuzzel whisks away as the panel fires, and Waynestock nearly inverts himself again! Nuzzel does an about-face and heads in Waynestocks direction, just as Waynestock turns to greet the charge. FLIP! The flipper fires at exactly the right time and Nuzzel is launched up into the air! With a great THUD he lands right on his big behind, and Waynestock is right there, with another assault! FLIP! Nuzzel is on his side, and rolling...onto his back! Waynestock charges forwards and tosses Nuzzel again into the wall! Nuzzel collapses...back onto his wheels, but he doesnt have the time to enjoy driving around because hes tilted sideways by the wedge of Waynestock and...FLIP! Nuzzel soars...right over the fence! Another quick fight!

CEASE!

Nuzzel gets elbowed aside.
Waynestock advances to the Middleweight Final!

Next battle: Tom vs. Blizzard

Waynestock will fight one of these two fighters.

Tom vs. Blizzard

Tom isnt Major Tom, but hes still pretty high up there. Hes simply a wedge with a flipper, with whiskers and a tail to prevent getting stuck on its back or sides. His top speed is 14mph to due some Magmotors. Unfortunately, its not really got specific stats, so it might not do so well. Dont count him out just yet, though.

Blizzard is a mechanical showcase. It weighs 19kg more than the weight limit, yet thats because of the unique rubber treading system. Theyre like screws, and they move inwards to propel Blizzard forward, outward to go back, or in the same direction to go sideways. This makes some serious speed at 17mph. Also its got two three-sided prongs which can gore the opponent head on, and also it has 7mm Boron Carbide armour. However, its pretty easy to flip.

Tom is ready for him again, and just as Blizzard lands, the wedge slides underneath him and FLIP! Blizzard goes for a loop! Landing right on Toms wedge! FLIP! Blizzard goes for a OHEMEFFGEETEHSKYISFALLINGWEREALLGONNADIEORSOMETHIN GLIKETHAT trip! :proud: Blizzard hits the wall and Tom is again there, and FLIP! Blizzard is tossed up, but doesnt quite make it out. Tom turns sideways and travels across the wall as Blizzard hits the ground prong-first, and the wedge gets under Blizzard yet again! FLIP! Blizzard is getting dizzy, Ill bet. Blizzard lands away from Tom and disorineted, Alex drives him right back into Tom! Tom tosses precisely when Blizzard hits the wedge, and FLIP! Tossed again! Blizzard hits the pitch with great force, and something now seems to be wrong with Blizzard. Apparently, the left screw is working only! This is NOT good for Blizzard! Tom is taking advantage is this unfortunate situation and rams Blizzard again. FLIP! The flipper does its work. Blizzard lands near the wall again. Tom rams him again. FLIP! Blizzard is tossed, and bounces into the railing, and is now stuck on the wall with his prongs on the arena flo - HAHAHAHAHA! Ive never seen that happen before! Lets see that one again...Blizzard is using its left screw to ride the railing, and it hit the other wall in the CPZ! And guess what? Its STILL stuck on the wall! And heres Tom, with the wedge, and FLIP! Blizzard topples over, and the camera track claims another victim.

CEASE!

The Blizzard has melted.
Tom advances to the Middleweight Final!

Next battle: Red Knight vs. Puzzel

Middleweight Final: Waynestock vs. Tom

Vs Tom...

Eh, flip him around and pit him. :P

Great Fights.

Why thank you Tim. :proud: Youll love this next one, then. :proud:

Lets go, superheavies!

Red Knight vs. Puzzel

Red Knight is one huge son of a gun. A tough 4WD with some powerful LEM130 motors, hes also got a turret attached to the top, which sports 30kg of hardox armour. Attached to the panel is a 25kg horizontally mounted flywheel. Also featured are bristle skirts that prevent flippers from getting in at all. He also weighs 155kg.

Puzzel is a flipbot. Hes got a giant flipper powered by 2 2kg CO2 tanks, and extremely tough armour comprised of 40mm HDPE, 3.2 hardox, and 10mm 7075 aircraft aluminum. Unfortunately, he weighs about 20kg less than his opponent, and that could prove distatrous.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Alex Holt
Booth 2: Leo van Miert

ACTIVATE!

WHOA! Puzzel just went flying across the arena right into Red Knight! Red Knight wobbles, and that raises the bristle skirts just enough for Puzzel to penetrate them! FLIP! Red Knight is already toppled! Puzzel does not wait for Red Knight to right itself, but instead shoves Red Knight towards the nearby CPZ! My, theyre big bots, SHWs. Red Knight takes up almost the whole CPZ! Red Knights arm on the turret pops, pushes...and slams Red Knight into the wall. :proud: Leo smiles at the situation and takes his time to open the pit. Red Knight again tries unsuccessfully to right himself from the corner patrol zone but no can do. Puzzel comes for Red Knight again, and shoves the flipper under the turret. FLIP! Red Knight is slammed into the wall and comes back down onto Puzzel. FLIP! Red Knight is tossed up but hits the railing and again finds its way down to Puzzel. FLIP! Poor Red Knight is taking the worst of this match so far. And now Red Knight is stuck on the wall. It looks like its all over for Alexs superheavyweight, and Puzzel signifies this by letting fly the flipper again. FLIP! No! Red Knight rolls further into the CPZ! Wrong angle, I guess. Puzzel tosses again. FLIP! This time Red Knight goes flying a straight trajectory...right into the arena camera! This was all Puzzel here, folks.

CEASE!

Red Knight doesnt take his loss quietly, wreaking havoc on the camera on his way out.
Puzzel advances to the Superheavyweight Final!

Next battle: Octo-push 3 vs. Walk Away
