The K-TOAD tournament

OK. My go with Autoism, and the first EVER fight for either of Autoism and Flyte, so it should be quite interesting. Ive already read the prediction and tactics for Flyte and it seems he wants me to attack him first so Aaron can use the power drive tactic to lower his front down and get under me. Go ahead - hell stop and Ill just drive straight into the sides of Flyte!

He has Titanium skirts, so lower my Hardox pliars down so I can grip onto them. Then slam him into the walls with my Storm 2 like power (By the way, Autoism is more powerful than Flyte, so I can break the skirts) and then ram him into the walls and attempt o rip the skirts OFF! If hew gets under, no problem - I can drive inverted, and given that his flipper produces 600kg at the tips, Ive got little to fear, in that he wont (in most cases) get me OOTA in 1 flip. So basically, drive in, grab the skirts, and drag him to the pit release button and then shove him down.

Although it got very confusing,

If you think it was confusing reading it, you should have tried writing it, although once I got into a good pace, it got written rather quickly.

I might do it again, but Im already getting plans for series 4.

Autoism VS Flyte

Flyte hasnt got the statistical advantage, but its a hell of a lot smaller then Autoism (Making it hard for him to catch and attack) and its going to be a heap more controllable with 15MPH compared to his 23MPH speed. HP means nothing really if you cant get it to the floor, Storm 2 has been out pushed by Tornado... Ill also remove the skirts from Flyte for this battle.

Because of his speed, his skirts are going to bounce along the floor, regardless of them being tensions down with springs (Unless they were tensiond so much that they start lifting the bot up..) so as hes flying around the arena in an uncontrolled manor, Ill take a shot from the side, push him to the wall and flip him over or stack him against the wall.

Flyte to manuver, dodge and evade all Autoisms attacks and strike when he makes a mistake.

I shall try and do some fights tonight.

Aaron, some questions about Flyte.

1 - How many wheels does it have?
2 - What shape is it?

The Killer Toad Tournament

Round 1, Fight 12

Acronyms vs. Hypertension Mk 3

The first robot into the arena today is A Robot with an Even Longer Name Because I Still Believe Acronyms = For the Win, also known as Acronyms. Entered by Frank, this low hexagon shaped machine has a 4-way crusher at the front of the machine, designed to crush other robots from 4 ways, and even if one of the 4 arms gets caught, the other 3 arms can continue to crush other robots to death. The armour is only titanium, but with some polycarbonate on top. It can run upside down, but is slow to self-right (I don€™t get it). It has 2 wheels which are powered and some castors at the front and rear as well. The sides are covered with skirts, but not the rear which is exposed.

The second robot into the arena today is Hypertension Mk 3, Hypo for short. Matt would be looking for revenge as it was a Frank machine which put out Hypo in the last tournament. Nothing has been changed since the robot which got pitted by May Tracks, apart from some new wheels. The robot still has a nasty powerful flipper at the front, Hardox armour and 2 wheels at the back which are powered and 2 castors at the front. Hypo has no skirts, so the sides and rear are open for attack, but thanks to not having skirts, it can turn easier and attack, attack, attack!

So it is the battle of the castors!

Both robots are ready

Acronyms is away first, using it€™s lems to power it up to speed quickly as Hypo holds back, Matt€™s machine has the advantage in the manoeuvrability war, with it not having skirts compared to Acronyms, and also a slight speed advantage, as Matt sets Hypo off, as both machines are heading towards each other. Hypo dodges and tries to get around the sides of Acronyms, to try and breach the side skirts, however Frank turns Acronyms around quickly and comes onto the attack. Hypo reverses away from the front claws before they can crush the Hardox.

Matt spins Hypo around and comes back onto the attack, in a suicidal mission, heading straight towards the jaws, which are lowered, ready to scoop up Hypo, as Matt spins the wheels, taking Hypo away from the front end, as Frank starts to turn Acronyms around, to try and defend against the flipper, which given one wrong move could put Acronyms out of the arena, both machines are turning around, as Hypo comes in. The first contact is made as the front wedge of Hypo gets underneath the front end and quickly fires the flipper, sending Acronyms over. Hypo doesn€™t need a second chance as Matt puts in forward drive, getting underneath Acronyms, Frank tries to do everything he can think off to escape, as the carbon dioxide starts to flow into the flipper rams of Hypo, firing the flipper up, sending Acronyms up and over the arena fence, as it crashes down onto the camera tracks.

Cease

Frank is unhappy that he didn€™t get to play with his crushing jaw, but Matt is happy, as Hypo moves onto the 2nd round.

Next time it is the 2nd attempt at fight 11 (Flyte vs. Autosim), before the return of the 2nd seed against the legend of Die-Ceratops, in Nitro-Gene 2 (2) vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus.

w00ty fights Dave. :)

Agreed, some fights of not insignificant wootiness. :)

Both robots fighting in a row :uhoh:.

My tactics for each fight:

Autoism vs. Flyte

Since Aaron is removing his skirts, which effectively spoils my plan (you evil man Aaron :wink:) Im not going to use my lifter, since itll be easier for me just to grip onto Flyte and just drag it into the pit. No worries about him getting for my sides - Ill just keep him in front of me ad stop if ever he gets to my sides/reverse if he gets to my sides.

Nitro-Gene 2.0 (2) vs. Die-Ceratops ReInvertus

Im quite worried about Die-Ceratops, mostly because of its noted reputation for taking out the big-name robots (eg. Tempest Evil-er-lution, Infusion, Achilles, Tough As Nails, ForcePower 5.0). But I believe that I stand a good chance of beating him, as hes use to taking on skirted robots - I have no skirts, making me more controllable. If he gets under me, then reverse - I have the acceleration :proud:. Im not going to use my flipper, unless I have him near the wall, or Im upside-down, in order to conserve them.

Wooty fight by the way, Dave.

Question about Autoism, can the arm lift and crusher crush independently of each other?
