Oh w00t! First vapourbot to make the semis of any tournament besides Wedginator! Go Tira! Happy day! :proud:
Heat B
Round 1
Chalkie 3G vs. Gravity vs. Metalmorphosis
Errr...errr...too hard to predict. :P
Turbo Tails vs Hypno-Disc vs Axe to Fall - Classic
Lets see. Hypno-Disc cant really damage 6mm titanium armour, and both these bots have better armour than that. The result? Hypno-Disc down the pit.
Im really sorry Kody, but Tira hasnt made it to the semis... Shes made it to round 2. Youll need to win another two matches before you can say its a semi-finalist:proud:
Er...how does that work? :P
Edit: Sorry, let me elaborate on that a little more. Tira has won the heat. Arent there Series Semi-Finals after all the other heats? :P And another thing. Made it to Round 2? She just beat Round 3. :proud:

HAHA, congrats Kody with your first robot to ever reach Round 2! :proud:
Chalkie 3G vs Gravity vs Metalmorphosis - The Metalworks
2 interchangeable bots, bah, Gravity to lose on a JD perhaps?
Turbo Tails vs Hypno-Disc vs Axe to Fall - Classic
Axe to Fall will make sure every disc-hit is taken by the titanium wedge rather than the polycarb body. I really wanna perform some power-play against Hypno-Disc with some help of Turbo Tails perhaps. That disc has a nice flat surface, so try to get an axe-hit there ASAP and damage the weapon. From there, axe him and ram him.
Lets see. Hypno-Disc cant really damage 6mm titanium armour, and both these bots have better armour than that. The result? Hypno-Disc down the pit.
all depends on how the armour is mounted to the robot. if its bolted to chassis then a good hit will sheer all the bolts and send ti flying into arena space. remember typhoon and storm2
It was actually Matilda that knocked off the Storm 2 plate - UNFAIRLY!
But let us have a look at the draw:
Chalkie 3G vs Gravity vs Metalmorphosis - The Metalworks: The Metalworks does have arena walls that you can flip your opponent over, but Metalmorphosis has two weapons designed to damage - and Gravity has Polycarb armour. Gravity to be beaten.
Turbo Tails vs Hypno-Disc vs Axe to Fall - Classic: The robots in this arena arena will be hell for Hypno-Disc, as hes past the the point of weakly designed robots that can be easily destroyed. Axe To Fall is going to hit the disc and stop it spinning, before the realie is pitted.
HEAT B
ROUND 2
Axe to Fall VS Hypno Disc VS TURBO TAILS
Im not sure Hypno Disc is tall enough for me to hit, so Ill primarily use the flipper for this fight. If Marti feels like taking out the flywheel, I can slip underneath and flip Hypno over so he can pummel the underbelly. When Marti gets tired, Ill charge Hypno down the pit before he can self-right.
Metalmorphosis will use the drum, and attack the sides of both opponents, whacking them towards hazards and maybe OOTA if Im lucky!
Kody, the format is as follows:
Round 1 - The heats. I see the first two battles in a heat as a sort of qualifying battle.
Round 2 - One on one battles.
Quarter finals - More one on one battles. Losers go into a four way melee to determine seedings for next year.
Semi finals.
3rd place playoff.
Grand final.
So the Metalworks, I think I will go for the spinning drum weapon, and Im going to take a risk and remove the skirts on account of that Metalmorphosis looks dangerous with that drum on the front and it could do some damage to the skirts, Im pretty sure I have a slight edge speed-wise over Gravity (which Im assuming is Gravity 3 from RW7), therefore I shall try and attack the sides and try to damage the wheels/armour.
But seeing as Chalkie hasnt been touched since July 2005, its rather old
(bet my risk with removing skirts doesnt pay off and I end up on the other side of the arena wall via Gravitys flipper)
