Time for some tactics and predictions...but given that some people seriously doubt that Ill make through Round 1, Ill be slightly screwed, but here goes...
Heat A (Writer: AJ)
Do or Die vs. Salamander III vs. Axe to Fall vs. Grim Reaper: Know this.
Wedge Devolution vs. BIACS-LE vs. Death Threat 0.2 vs. Topsy Turvy: Oh my! This is an extremely tough battle, of which anyojne except for Death Threat will win. BIACS-LE is very tough, can take a bruising from spinners like Topsy Turvy, and has caused some nasty damage to Wedge before...Ill go for Matty to deffo go through, along with the Wedge.
HEAT WINNER: Depends, but I rate BIACS-LE to win.
Heat B (Writer: Joey)
Catus Catus 8.1 vs. Ge5orce vs. Bloody Mary vs. Killotine: EVO: Sorry Martyn. Sorry Liam. But you are both DOOOMED, especially if Ge5orce gets under! Killotine will make it for sure, along with Ge5orce.
Weapon Synergy Unleashed vs. Secret vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs. MeCannibal 3.0: Secrets skirts are my main target for this match, as the mighty Die-Ceratops may leave me be as my teeth will cut into his flipper quite nicely, and if not spinning, hell find it tough to get under the skirt. However, if I break a skirt off Secret, C hris will attack Chezza and hopefully leave me in peace, so I can then have a quite battle tearing up Daniels little terrors :proud: so then me and Die-Ceratops can advance.
HEAT WINNER: I think Ill do OK in this heat, but I like GE5ORCE to win.
Heat C (Writer: Martijn)
Disco 5 vs. SOR X vs. Cyclone Force 3 vs. The Botles Reunited: The Botles will soon be split...in half :proud: Out of the others...Ill go for SOR X to flip out Disco 5.
The May Tracks Has You vs. Nidhogg vs. Blue Sparks vs. Requiem : The May Tracks might not like Requiems drum, or Blue Sparks discs...Ill go for an upset, and say that Nidhogg and Requiem will win through.
HEAT WINNER: NIDGOGG looks good.
Heat D (Writer: Dan)
Leprosy Infection vs. The Quaestor III vs. Turbo Tails vs. Apocalypse: Poor Turbo Tails is going to be over-turned before we start :sad: Ill go for Liam and Chris to then take out Queastor III
Wedginator Devilution vs. Masamune vs. Baldur Gamma vs. Star 69: Baldur is going to be an pain in Star 69s a**e :mrgreen: Masamune looks interesting, but Baldur will take him out.
HEAT WINNER: Between quite a few, but Ill go for BALDUR GAMMA.
Heat E (Writer: Martyn)
Gabriel III vs. Hatchet: EVO vs. Boxed In vs. Champagne: Interesting battle, with only Gabriel making it through for certain.
ISDSFA vs. Slammer VI vs. Dolce vs. Axes of Evil: Sorry Danny, but youre gone. And so is Slammer, leaving Chezza and Frank to advance in style.
HEAT WINNER: Depends, but Ill bet on DOLCE.
Heat F (Writer: Steve)
Gulp vs. Achilles vs. The 6isc vs. Sithis: BATTLE OF DOOOOOOOM! Sithis is the most likely, with Achilles following behind.
The Zodiac vs. Roo 2 vs. Sheer Heart Attack 2 vs. Panicking Still: Panicking will still be panicking after this battle...The Zodiac and Roo 2 to slice through.
HEAT WINNER: Three powerful spinners, but due to the design of its teeth, THE ZODIAC is to win.
Heat G *MY WORST HEAT* (Writer: Martijn)
Systematic Shocker vs. Sheer Hell vs. DreamCatcher vs. Dreadnaught: Who entered Dreadnaught? Him and Sheer Hell to bite the dust.
Tri-Tainium vs. Tengu VII vs. The Deer vs. All Scoop and No Stab: Is is absolutely DREADFUL! All Scoop is a very scary opposition, so are The Deer and Tengu, but Tengu is less of a danger to me, because of my armour and shock-padding. I therefore propose a team-up with Alex, and attack The Deer non-stop, as I believe the claws to perfect targets for my discs. Enough blows should bend the claws out of place or stop them from working. Then try and finish him off by KO or my hitting him OOTA. Tengu may have finished with All Scoop by this point, but if not, attack the skirts and rip them off, then attack All Scoop non-stop.
HEAT WINNER: Im not comfortable with this heat at all, and only if I make through Round 1 will I believe Ill win, so Ill go for suprise option with the powerful rammer called SYSTEMATIC SHOCKER.
Heat H (Writer: Martyn)
St. Hammer vs. Crimson Thunder vs. Eye of Ran vs. PsycloniZer: St. Hammer is out - out of the other three, I believe that Crimson Thunder and PsycloniZer have more in them. Sorry Joey, but Eye Of Ran to go out.
Intriguer vs. Hot Sauce vs. Spring-BOK! vs. Under Pressure: Intriguer looks fantastic! Hell go through for sure - going through with the Envy-lookalike Hot Sauce.
HEAT WINNER: Its a very open heat, and very puzzled as to wholl make it through, but Ill go for INTRIGUER to solve the puzzle and win.
Heat I (Writer: Dan)
Lethal Execution vs. Namie€™s Style vs. Flaming Hell vs. Rammy Mk 3: A confusing first battle, and one which Rammy and Namie shall ram and flip their way to victory.
Super Gore Revo vs. Knyfe vs. Riptile 3 vs. Black Panther: This is a battle in which I seem to be outclassed in terms of experience - Im with the MN Series 1 Runner-up and the EBTC08 4th placer...and I made the heat final of Robot SMASH!! 2. Im outclassed on ther experience front, but not on the weapons front: my choice of weapon is...
8: A 42* hindged wedge at the front made of 7mm Hardox with a large 8mm Hardox hindge. The wedge is invertible and isnt effected if flippeed. I use this against flippers.
With this set-up, I can attack Kody or Matty with a wedge option without risk of being attacked and overturned by Alex. Attack Super Gore Revo and set under its 1mm front. Then, pit it. Go on an attack frenzy on Riptile, as its sounds like a spinner...and Im a spinner killer :)
HEAT WINNER: I like my chances, but itll possibly be NAMIES STYLE.
Heat J (Writer: Martyn)
Cat With Wheels vs. The Rock vs. Dervish: Generation X vs. Flick of the Wrist: POOOOOT! :lame: This is a bad match-up. Hopefully, Ill be able to do enough damage to the armour of Flick and Cat (Both have 7mm Titanium armour, and my axe has put holes in that) to go through with Dervish. If Daniel wishes to team-up though, Ill be happy.
Monolith vs. Hacked off Haka vs. Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Brutalis 2.0: Monolith is going for certain...so is Haka
HEAT WINNER: Its tough, but I pick BRUTALIS 2.0.
Heat K (Writer: Martijn)
DVD: The Sequel vs. Wedga€™s Revenge vs. Back 2 Basics vs. Juiced Oil: Oh joy! Team-up with Chezza, remove the front wedge and go to town on B2B, and try to remove a panel off the side by breaking its attachments to the chassis. Then go after Wedga, and attack it with Chezza.
Supreme vs. The Saint vs. Life & Death vs. E Clawdius Unum: Supreme is certainately through...with Clawdius.
HEAT WINNER: As much as I loathe the robot for its sucess at beating me, the heat will be won by SUPREME.
Heat L (Writer: AJ)
Heyght vs. With or Without You vs. Macduff the 3rd vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution: Its nice to know that in this fight, I have the most heavily armoured, powerful robot on my side :proud: Attack Tempest, ram it, stop its spinning, then push it to the side and thrust it OOTA. Then go for With You, and flip it out.
Weird Alice vs. Noo Monsoon vs. Leviathan vs. PowerPoint The Thrasher 5: Leviathan and Monsoon are the obvious choices.
HEAT WINNER: Ill make a surprse choice and go for LEVIATHAN.
Heat M (Writer: Steve)
Another Night At The Bar vs. Sakura vs. Killobite 5.0 vs. Exertion: Exertion and Killobite are up against it, and I dont think theyll make it.
Mega Masher 2 vs. No Exceptions vs. Visioned vs. LockJaw Epidemic: Visioned looks great, but that wont help it, so itll go out along with Mega Masher 2.
HEAT WINNER: I think the flower that smells of death will win - in other words, SAKURA to win.
Heat N (Writer: Dan)
Seung Mina IV vs. Door Stops vs. Obliteration vs. Back to Rock III: Bye Obliteration. Bye Doorstops, and through go Mina and Back To Rock III.
Rupture vs. Hypertension Mk 3 vs. WORCK-ER vs. Flipping Hell: I wish to take out Flipping Hell as quickly as possible, as one flip and were dead. Go for Flipping Hell, and get under, and flip it over, and let it kill itself self-righting. Then, Ill go after Rupture, and try and take it out.
HEAT WINNER: Ill go for the obvious choice - SEUNG MINA VI.
Heat O (Writer: Steve)
??? vs. Axe-O-Lotl vs. Liar 2 vs. Axeon 3.0: Depends...but Liar might not survive in a pushing battle.
Nitro-Gene 5.0 vs. Dante vs. vs. Phoenix Down vs. Disco Boogie: *Given that Nitro-Gene 4.0 wasnt acceptable, and 5.0 is, can you please use 5.0 now please :)* My plan is to take on Joey, who seems to be slightly too cocky. Get under and push him to the edge and flip. Then go for Dante and repeat the same tactic, as that dsic shouldnt be a concern.
HEAT WINNER: I like my chances, but I like thsoe of AXEON 3.0 more.
Heat P *THE HEAT OF DOOOOOOOOM* (Writer: AJ)
Orka MK 4 vs. ArchAngel of the Abyss vs. Hell Machine vs. Forklift 2: Tough match...Orka is the top choice, and the surprise choice Ill make is Forklift 2.
Tira IV vs. Pure Evil: Back To Basics vs. Whirligig 4.5 vs. Extravagant: Tough match...Whirligig and Tira are the obvious choices, and I think theyll win.
HEAT WINNER: Its tough to choose, but itll most likely be ORKA MK.4.
Good luck everyone :wink: both competing and writing :proud:
Paul, check your PMs at ZED.
Tactics for Heat B
Weapon Synergy Unleashed vs. Secret vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs. MeCannibal 3.0
Hmmm, was hoping for an alliance with Paul in this fight, as I think MeCannibal 3.0 might not be safe. Still there if you want it Paul...
For this fight, I will equip the clusters in the following ways:
Red: Weapon Module 5 - the scoop. In this fight, use Weapon Synergy Red as a spinner killer against Secret to allow Weaponn Synergy Blue and White to attack without the spinning disc being a problem. Reds secondary aim in this fight is to stay alive no matter what - with the 100% cluster rule ennforced in this tourney, even if only one cluster is alive, it can still win the fight. Avoid any encounters it will not win, stay away from hazards or house robots. Basically: DO NOT DIE!! :proud:
White: Weapon Module 2 - the jaws. Weapon Synnergy Whites main aim is to act aggressive throughout the whole fight, using the jaws to grab onto any of the opponents in case the battle goes to a Judges Decision. Weapon Synergy White will focus the attacks on Secret and Die-Ceratops, avoiding MeCannibal!
Blue: Weapon Module 1: the flipper. Weapon Synergy Blue will aim to get underneath either Secret or Die-Ceratops and flip them around. Obviously because both Secret and Die-Ceratops are both innvertible, fliping them wont do anything, but by showing aggression and possible damage (if opponents land with a bump), it could swing a Judges Decision my way.
Paul, wanna team up?? The exposed wheels on Die-Ceratops look tasty for your FBS... :proud:
My last entry, Cobalt is in the How can I improve thread. Assuming there are no major holes, consider it entered.
Cobalt
Shape - Mostly a shallow wedge with a small box section at the rear.
Speed - 16 MPH
Dimensions(lwh): 70CM X 45 CM X 20 CM
Armour - 4 mm Hardox for the top, 5 mm for the sides and 5 mm Grade 5 Ti for the base.
GC - 3 CMs at the very rear, going down to 0 at the front, assisted by a sharpened wedge extender allowing it to slide under the lowest ground clearance.
Weapon 1 - The wedge.
Weapon 2 - A flat disc of doom style flywheel on the front wedge. Robots get thrown off after having their bases and wheels shredded. The disc is run on a Lem-130 on 24 volts and spins at 500 RPM. The disc is made of 4 mm Hardox, with two Hardox teeth, angled in the direction of spin.
Drive - Two wheel drive, with the wheels positioned at the very rear of the machine and castors around the middle to provide stability. This is powered by two S28-400 Magmotors on 24 volts.
Srimech - A lifting bar/plate made of 5 MM Grade 5 Ti/V. This not only self rights the robot, but also gives the disc some protection from axe attacks. The base bar is curved so it avoids hitting the disc. This is powered by a LEM-130 on 24 volts.
