The Fowler Fic War Series 4

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to The Fowler Fic War series 4.

However, everyone knows that I can€™t do a tournament without doing something entirely unexpected and this year it is that it will be running side by side with my 2nd tournament. The Fowler Ficxtreme war series 1.

This series is gonna be far smaller than the last 2. I€™m looking for just 9 people to enter 8 robots each. At least 2 of these robots must be realies, and without sounding discriminatory, they must have competed in the televised stages of UKRW, as I€™m not good with Battlebots nor with the robots doing the live tours ATM.

The weight classes for this war will be the same as FFW3

This will then turn into 12 heats of 6 robots, each with 2 seeds in. In the event of their being an overwhelming response I will allow an extra 3 places, so don€™t think that you can€™t put your name down if there€™s already been 9, you just need an extra 2.

An important point is with regard to stats. I will not be bugging you for extra information. What it says in your stats is FINAL. However, to that end, what I say goes. If you make your robot too big, or with incorrect dimensions, or overweight, it will only be told at the time. In the same way if I believe a robot is unrealistic and would just destroy itself, I will write it as such.

The arena for this war will be a mix of all the different arenas I used for FFW2. and I€™m calling it the circle of doom. It, as the name suggests is an entirely round arena, with a hemispherical wall going all the way around and over the arena, eliminating the possibility of OOTA€™s. at each 90 degree point around the arena there is a buzzsaw sticking through the side and in between then at 45 degrees, is a flame pit. There is a pit in the centre of the arena, however spikes, which only lower half way into the fight, surround it. Therefore, up until this point, unless you flip another robot into the pit, the arena is virtually harmless to anything other than a KO until half waypoint.

There are no house robots to interfere, leaving less options of how to win. The arena is designed to be a test of everything from tactics to destructive capability.

Now to explain the extreme part of the tournament:

Allstars - This is not to be entered by you, it will be the 16 robots with best ranking scores through the first 3 series of FFW

Mayhem + Annihilator - Each of the 9 entrants, must enter 2 robots into the frame to try and get through to the annihilator. If we go up to 12. The mayhems will just have 4 robots each.

Challenge Belt - 1 entry from each roboteers

Wild Card Warriors - Again 1 entry from each roboteers, each 1 will fight one of the entries into the allstars tournament.
Continental Challenge - Each roboteers must enter 1 robot to go up against a foreign realie of my choice.

The world championships - This will be a 32 robot competition in a separate thread at the end of FFW4 (while the other events will happen between the heats and the semis) The 36 robots will be as follows:

The 12 robots that got into the series semis
The 9 winners of the continental battles.
The top 8 in the allstars contest
3 wild card places going to robots I feel worthy.

In the event of us having 12 entrants, then the 3 wild card places will go. Also in the event of a robot qualifying twice as it were, I will ask the roboteers to name one of their other machines to take it€™s place.

No roboteers may enter the same robot into more than one event. So pick your events carefully.

Any questions, don€™t think twice about asking.

LET THE WARS BEGIN!!!!!!

Ill enter.

VAPOURBOTS
1: Orka MK4 (Mayhem)
2: Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus (Continental Challenge)
3: Leprosy Infection (Challenge Belt)
4: Crash Bandi-Bot (Mayhem)
5: Axe-O-Lotl
6: Spring-BOK! (Wild Card)

Of which I believe youll find stats in the Crash and Burn 2 Tournament.

REAL ROBOTS
7: Wild Thing 2
8: Thirteen Black

Purely because I saw their S6 heats today. Most up-to-date versions, of course.

If you have any problems, or need the stats right here, feel free to ask.

not sure about my vapour lineup yet, but my realie lineup will look like this:

Barberous 2 n€™ a bit
Tough as Nails

Ill enter but one thing do you know the vapourbots can they be robots from video games. If so then
Tornado (Robot Arena 2)
Gravity
Tough As Nails
Storm 2
Tornado
Typhoon 2
X-terminator disc vercion
Atomic
Mayhem: Xterminator and Storm 2
Challenge Belt: Tornado
Wild Card Warriors: Gravity

Go back and COMPLETELY re-think. Not only will video game bots obviously NOT count, but TAN has already, obviously, been chosen. Sheesh, cant you do anything seriously?

Save me a space, will put some stats together.

Oi Chris technically youre wrong because Martijn hasnt chose all his eight robots let so until he chooses his other 6 then I can still have TAN and change Tornado with Wheely Big Cheese. So Nyah.

uhhhm... you do realise that I will chose my other 6 bots evantually, dont you?

Hope thats everything, Mr Fowler!

I dont get it how come youre saying I cant have TAN when I chose my robots at exactly the same time as Martijn chose TAN so you cant actually say first come, first serve. Not meaning to start any arguements (sp.).

Now to give some of the more stagnant components of my roster an airing:

Mayhem - Scaramanga
Challenge Belt - Baldur
Wild Card Warriors - Darkestar
Continental Challenge - Dante

OK just one question. Have you ever played Robot Arena 2?

no.

Im not sure everyone is reading the rules properly. Alex Holt only appears to have entered one robot into the Mayhem and Tim hasnt entered anything in the Continental Challenge. I was under the impression that not competing in them wasnt an option.

Its not. but Ill sort it out when it matters. Im more concerned by getyting entries for the main draw right now.

Oops, thanks for pointing out that misread....

Anyways, a second robot for the Mayhem can be Nodachi

OK Matty can I have EMERGENCY instead heres a video of himhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UL3tBQuNvIwww.youtube.com/watch?v=1UL3tBQuNvI. can I swap 2 robots its just that I want to enter Gravity for the Continental Challenge so Ill enter Gravity in for that and put in Typhoon 2 for Wild Card Warriors.

OK Matty can I have EMERGENCY instead heres a video of himhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UL3tBQuNvIwww.youtube.com/watch?v=1UL3tBQuNvI.

Ummm can you delete the first post please.

Tim! I am not putting a robot from a game in an FFW tournament. I have no stats for it, and I have no idea about the game. Get it through your skull!

OK I choose Terrorhurtz then and you cant say its already been chosen because Alex said Killerhurtz not Terrorhurtz.

Its HIS tournament, you cant tell him what he can and cant do.

Save a spot for me please? I need time to look at my stats.

You do know I wasnt speaking to matty haka when I said it.

Ooops, sorry. Ill take Hypnodisc as my second realie to replace Typhoon 2 then please. In its most recent form, naturally.
