Well, I promised. :proud:
Mayhem
Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs. Ringwraith vs. Biohazard
Representing Steven McGregor and Team Braveheart: Metal Sonic Spin Dash! A low profile vapourbot with a Pussycat-style sawblade mounted in front, and a spatula, plus some barbed hooks to hook onto you and drag you where it wants, MSSD can pass you by before you even blink!
Representing Richard Southworth and Team Velociraptor: Ringwraith! A full-bodied horizontal spinner, its got a nasty spinning drum that can cut into 5mm titanium, and 15mm Lexiguard armour inside. The exposed wheels are also difficult to attack because of this.
Representing Carlo Bertocchini and Team Biohazard: Biohazard! An even lower profile bot with heavy titanium armour, side and rear skirts, and a cold, dead lifting arm that was helped him win several Battlebots titles.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Biohazard, Metal Sonic Spin Dash
Booth 2: Ringwraith
House Robots: Obelix Bulguous, Taki-san

ACTIVATE!
Two spinners and a lifter are here to duke it out, and already Biohazard has gotten to the sides of MSSD and breached the skirts! FLIP! MSSD is already toppled, but Ringwraith is gladly accepted the distraction, and now advances on Biohazard with the fully spun-up drum! Biohazard lowers the arm and shoves MSSD away towards the arena side wall, only for the srimech to pop up and right MSSD, but right back on top of Biohazard, and MSSD is tilted and slammed against the wall! Ringwraith closes in!
CRASH!!!
Sparkfest! Biohazard is shunted quite a bit, the rear skirt mangled, pieces flown off, but manages to lift up the arm and send MSSD sliding along the wall, and the srimech pops out, but throws MSSD off the wall and onto its back due to the angle! And its not good at all! The open srimech is wedged against the floor, tilting MSSD slightly, and it cant move! Ringwraith has the drum up to speed again, and goes after Biohazard, but Biohazard goes after the pit release button, nailing it dead center! Pit level from main floor to basement. :proud: The Watcher goes over to MSSD and checks things out. Apparently he doesnt like the look of things, and gives MSSD a nudge. Nothing happens...and theres an attack on Biohazards rear again!
CRASH!!!
Oh dear! The skirt is gone now, not to mention pieces of the chassis that have flown off as well! Biohazard has also been thrown up against the wall, and is stuck...no, the arm pops out...and leaves Biohazard in the same situation as MSSD! MSSD, meanwhile is now being counted out by The Watcher!
1...2...3...4...5...
CRASH!!!
OHH!!! MSSD has been smashed by Ringwraith, the side taking the most of it by far, badly dented, not to mention losing the skirt! Unfortunately, it didnt right MSSD, and The Watcher has now lost count and has to start the count out all over again, but Ringwraith is not to keen on letting that happen just yet. The drum spins up, as Biohazard, near the pit, throws the arm up, and RIGHTS HIMSELF! Without the rear skirt to thwart him, the 3-time Battlebots champion is back on his feet and coming after Ringwraith! Ringwraith isnt paying attention, but focuses completely on MSSD and smashes into it again.
CRASH!!!
The dented side is now gashed up, the 3.75mm hardox unable to stand that 2nd hit...but its righted MSSD this time! Biohazard takes the chance and slams into Ringwraith, sticking the arm in. MSSD rejoices in his reinvertibility and helps Biohazard by charging straight at Ringwraiths front. Unfortunately it does them more harm than good as Ringwraith is pushed on top of Biohazard, and drives off easily, immediately getting the drum going again. MSSD moves around Biohazard and, blade spinning wildly, tackles the full-body drummer just as it turns around.
CRASH!!!
Both spinning weapons meet, and the worse one off here is definitely MSSD, as the blade is gone! Oh dear, there it lands, right near one of the arena saw slots. :proud: Anyway Biohazard tackles Ringwraith, and raises the arm but that does nothing, only lifting the drumbot slightly into the air and Ringwraith lands perfectly balanced on its two wheels, and spins the drum up again. MSSD charges again valiantly, but Ringwraith rolls one wheel over the undamaged left side and spins around: hes got an open hit on MSSDs side! Steve tries to move MSSD away, but not in time, Im afraid.
CRASH!!!
Ringwraith catches the edge of MSSD as he backs off, and throws the hedgehogbot onto its back. Biohazard decides to be mean, and starts pushing MSSD towards the pit! Ringwraith chases down Biohazard and puts a small hit on him with the half-spun-up drum, shunting him away from MSSD, whose srimech pops up and rights him. Biohazard turns and rams Ringwraith, only for MSSD to come at the fully exposed rear and push it away towards the floor flipper. Ringwraith spins around and runs over Biohazard with its wheel, and MSSD shoves it all the way across the arena, right into the wall! WHAM! Biohazards snout is imprinted into the wall. MSSD turns to find a fully spun up drum in his face. Uh oh.
CRASH!!!
Once again, MSSD is tossed, and lands heavily onto his back, but manages to self-right. That front is looking pretty beat up though...Biohazard wheels away from the wall, moving a bit slower than usual, and goes to ram Ringwraith, but Ringwraith knows how to dodge Biohazard by now, and simply runs over the skirted bot with one of his wheels, and spins around to face the side with the spinning drum...Biohazard is able to turn in time to also find the drum in his face.
CRASH!!!
Biohazard is flung onto its back, the snout on the arm shocked, and...apparently, unable to move at all! MSSD is again tackling the Ringwraith, and succeeds, pushing it all the way across the arena, and WHAM! into the wall! Ringwraiths wheels are jolted off the floor...and The Watcher is counting Biohazard out for good!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Biohazard is out, and Carlo turns away from the arena and commiserates with his team members, as Taki-san leaves her CPZ and immediately rams the inverted box down the pit. BOOM! One down. And...there is no movement from either of the other two robots as well. The Watcher moves over and shunts MSSD again, pushing it off the wall and tilting Ringwraith off the wedge. Aha! Ringwraith moves away and spins up the drum. MSSD, however, is the broken one here, and Ringwraith abandoning all pretence lays the hurt on him with the drum, this time in the rear.
CRASH!!!
MSSD is knocked skyward once more, the backside totaled, and lands heavily onto its back. This time, its srimech does not come to its rescue as it is incapacitated as well. The Watcher is convinced now that MSSD is a dead duck, er, hedgehog :proud: and the timer comes on again!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Out goes MSSD, and Obelix tackles him towards the pit as well, and misses. :proud: Ringwraith spins down the drum, his job done, as Obelix gets his bearings back, and hammers MSSD once just for good measure, before dumping it down the hole.
CEASE!
Winner: Ringwraith
Next event: ForcePower 5.0 takes on Asterix Heroicus in the dreaded Sumo Basho!
Sumo Basho
ForcePower 5.0 vs. Asterix Heroicus
You all know who Asterix Heroicus is, if youve been in any Crash and Burn Tournament, so I wont go into detail about the house robot.
The challenger...is ForcePower 5.0! This vapourbot is represented by Andrew Jackson and Team ???. Mr. Tornado-on-acid himself :proud:, its powered by two LEM200s and has a hinged wedge in front to get under and ram to death. It only goes at 15mph, though, but it has enormous control and manoeuvrability because of that. 6mm hardox monocoque and invertibility tell the rest of the tale.
Roboteers, stand by...

ForcePower flies out Asterix, who comes to meet him...and neither can get under each other! The wheels grind...and Asterix is slowly being pushed backwards! Oh dear, Asterix doesnt have his own LEM200s run at 60v, does he? Nope, only 48v :proud:, and ForcePower is taking advantage of is! Asterix tries to turn away, but its vain, and as they reach the edge Asterix topples onto the tires, off the tires, and onto his back, out of the ring. He spins around in anger.
CEASE!
ForcePower 5.0 - 7.34 seconds
Next event - Vengeance: Tengu VII and Mass Disctruction Revolution have a score to settle!
And now, the moment youve all been waiting for in this heat: Its Vengeance time! :proud:
Vengeance
Tengu VII vs. Mass Disctruction Revolution
Representing Alex Holt and Team DoomForAll: Tengu VII! A ferocious full-body spinner with two 7.5kg blades on the spinner and an-anti spinner ring to deal with other spinners. It has good armour, and can even right itself, but its quite tricky to control.
Representing Aaron Knight and Team Disctructive Technologies: Mass Disctruction Revolution! Its also a full-body spinner, but with 9 hardox teeth on its 25.69kg titanium spinning shell. Its invertible as well, but its top armour is 5mm aluminium which could be damaged...hopefully not here though.
Tengu had lost to a Mass Disctruction vapourbot before, and wants to tear out MDRs guts! But whose will be spilled? Lets find out!
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Tengu VII
Booth 2: Mass Disctruction Revolution
House Robots: Taki-san, Tira-san

ACTIVATE!!!
Its MDR that gets up to speed first, and heads in Tengus direction, who has now also achieved its full potential and comes out to greet MDR. Two deadly full body spinners, fully sped, coming right right at each other...oh, shenanigans cant be too far away...
CRASH!!!
WHOA!!! What a HUGE hit!!! Both bots go flying backwards straight into the walls opposite! A load of sparks has been created, and as fast as it appeared, it vanishes. What a hit. Ouch. Tengu is still mobile, and actually seems to be okay! The blades are spinning right back up and are pretty much at full speed now! MDR...looks about the same, none of the teeth gone, the rim still shiny and intact...and here they come flying at each other again! I call mayhem!
CRASH!!!
ANOTHER HUGE HIT!!! Both bots are sent flying astray again! Only this time, there is definitely some damage! MDRs titanium rim is dented to the EXTREME, caving into the FBSs chassis! Tengu, it seems has gotten one of its blades bent right backwards, but is spinning up all the same. Aaron is very concerned at this point, trying to spin up the shell but cannot do so at all! Tengu is spinning faster and faster, and wobbling! Its clear that Tengu is out of control and flailing around, pulling a Mauler and flying across the arena, to land onto its back near the floor flipper. Up pops the arm and Tengu is righted, but MDR tackles suddenly and pushes it, sliding off quickly. Tengu begins to spin up again, but Alex strikes early to avoid Tengu going haywire again, and puts a hit on MDR with the blades half-spun-up.
CRASH!
MDR is smashed away, no damage being done that time, and Tengu goes after him, and spins up a little. MDR spins on the spot rapidly to act like hes supposed to be, an FBS, and Tengu collides with him, blades actually 3/4ths up to speed.
CRASH!!!
Its a powerful hit nonetheless, as MDR is blown backwards, Tengus longer teeth gaining the blow as another dent appears in the shell of MDR! And...oh dear, it looks like that blow was to the death, as MDR appears incapacitated, and theres quite a bit of smoke coming out. The Watcher comes in count out Aarons FBS, as Aaron himself pounds against the railing of his control booth in anger.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Alex is satisfied as he sees the big 10 appear, and having acquired his revenge spins down Tengus blades and waits for the call. Taki-san takes the MDR corpse to the wall and lifts it up against the wall. Another lift...and there we go, over the fence. Unusual though, as house robots should dump their victims in the pit.
CEASE!
Winner - Tengu VII!

Heat B
More Mayhem is on the way as Axe-O-Lotl, Starstorm 2, and Sauron go for broke!
Dantomkia starts off our Pinball run!
Y4 takes on Liar for the Challenge Belt kick-off!
And then its the All-Stars turn! Firestorm V fights Nightmare in a classic UK vs. US War of Independence! But the next fight is the fight of the night, with Wedge Devolution and Son of Ripper 5.5 duking it out!
Also, just to let you know, Paul Cuomo, I have updated my forum and put your stats there first because you were the first to enter. Tell me if there is anything I missed.
http://strickenone.proboards99.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=crashburnxtreme&thr ead=1200888495&page=1http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...crashburnxtrem e&thread=1200888495&page=1
Your stats were cluttered all over the forum, and I had to find them all and post them, so please, in the (near) future, post all your stats (old and current) in one thread so I dont have to go looking for them.
I was also nice enough to retype them for you without Caps Lock hurting peoples eyes, so please dont go crazy with the Caps Lock anymore in your stats, its really annoying. Just some advice Paul. :)
As I am going to bed now, I will update the rest tomorrow.
Y4 takes on Liar for the Challenge Belt kick-off!
yeah, hes boxy, so I guess I have a good chance getting underneath from anywhere, including my twack-around tactic... this should en in an OOTA for sure
No real tactics for Starstorm, just go after whoevers nearest. If I find myself under attack, Ill put the relevent skirt flat to the ground. Being grounded is better than being shoved around. My shape and armour should protect from Ax-o-lotls axe.
Heat B
Mayhem: Axe-O-Lotl vs. Starstorm 2 vs. Sauron: This seems to be quite one-sided. Due to shape and armour, as well as weaponry, Ill go for Frank and Starstorm 2.
Pinball: Dantomkia: I dont think Dantomkia will do quite well here.
Challenge Belt: Y4 vs. Liar: Im coming after these two, and I believe Ill be fighting Y4, as hell win over Liar via OOTA.
All-Stars: Firestorm V vs. Nightmare: Because of FireStorms speed and shape, I think hell bring down Nightmare quite quickly.
All-Stars: Wedge Devolution vs. Son of Ripper 5.5: This is deffinate All-Stars! Tough battle, but Ill go for the faster, lower, more powerful Wedge to score an OOTA!
Brilliant competition so far.
Okay, with the exception of Mattys vapourbots, and Aarons final entrant, I have completely updated C&BX on Me&Martijns forum. Please check it out, and tell me if I have missed anything at all. I dont want to make errors. :sad:
Mayhem will be up later. Time for bed. :proud:
AXE-O-LOTLS TACTICS
Just pummel anything. Im not sure what I can really do against Starstorm, personally.
Y4S TACTICS
Liar, being based on Wheely Big Cheese, has a lot of body. That means Ill be able to get under him fairly easily and then flip.
