Tornado, eh? I'll wait to see what set-up Mark uses first before implementing tactics. :P

Crap... looks like it'll be Tornado vs Storm II all over again...
Anyways, I'll use the wedge to get underneath the side of Macduff. I don't care if those spikes are there or not, but they aren't stopping me from getting underneath. Admittingly it is my 4WD to his 6WD, but he has a higher ground clearance compared to me. Get underneath and feed him to the house robots, if he gets away, repeat, wait until he starts to slow down due to the damage he will have taken, and press the pit release button. Shove him once more into the house robots for good measure, then shove the Scottish Canadian into the pit.
Good luck, Kody. *Like you'll need it :proud: *
Alright, so he's using the wedge. Good. Stick with the forks again. Surface area rule dictates that the force put into smaller area of attack (forks, spikes) is greater than a larger area (flat wedge). And since I'm plenty more powerful than Tornado, my forks should get under his wedge no problem-o. Even if they don't, I'll push him back anyway. Keep his front in check with my own front, counter his aggression with my own aggression once I get under him, and keep smacking him into house robots, hazards, and the like. Avoid the pit entirely; don't want to screw this one up.
Well done so far Elliot. :)
Revised Tactics:
I'll still use the wedge, and I'll still get underneath his sides and shove him into the CPZ, but I'll try to consistently outmaneuver him. Get under the sides, which should be easy seeing as he has 6WD, and I have 4WD. Since 6WD drive produces more friction then 4WD, I should be able to easily out-turn him, get underneath his sides, and push him into the house robots. Once he's been worn down a lot, as in he's been damaged and he's slowing down, press the pit release button, get under one of his sides, and shove him down. Try to do all of this quickly, as if I do it too slowly, I might lose on a judges decision.
lol
Perhaps you might realize later on that my more powerful drive helps me turn faster, regardless of friction. :P
I'll just ignore that, because there's still a very good chance of you winning.
Before the grand final. We have the fight for third and fourth place in Robot Wars. Its the playoff!
PLAYOFF
From Durham, in Durham, Firestorm V!
From Edinburgh, in Scotland, Typhoon II!
Roboteers, stand by!
B1: Firestorm V
B2: Typhoon II
House Robots: Matilda and Cassius Chrome
3-2-1: Activate!
Firestorm V has had a knack for coming in third on Robot Wars, but can they do it again? Typhoon II spins up to full speed. Firestorm V charges straight in...OH! Sparks fly! Typhoon II almost wobbled onto its side there! Firestorm V, has it taken damage? I don't think so. Typhoon II spins up again. Firestorm V follows and rams it again! They get underneath. Will they get Typhoon II over? NO! Typhoon II crashes back down to earth. What a brilliant display by Firestorm V so far! Typhoon II is away across the arena. They're not spinning, and that will be a problem. Firestorm V slips under again and pushes them into the CPZ! Cassius Chrome is waiting! Firestorm V tries to flip Typhoon II over! Cassius Chrome barges in and pushes Typhoon II OVER! Typhoon II is on its side! Will they press the 'Self Destruct' button to stop their tactics from falling into Firestorm's hands? Matilda comes in, with that flywheel. Firestorm V turns around and...OHH! They've lost the flipper! They've lost the flipper, Firestorm V! Matilda came in with her flywheel and RIPPED the flipper off its hinges! Typhoon II has no self-righting mechanism though, and Refbot comes in to count them out. Firestorm V, very lucky, but look at the damage! The flipper is useless, but they're lucky Typhoon II is immobolised!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Typhoon II, once the reigning champions of Robot Wars, are out! Firestorm V stands aside, not wanting to risk any more damage from the house robots, I'm sure. Cassius Chrome pushes Typhoon II onto the floor flipper! Is it going to fly? Yes, it is! Crashing back to earth, right way up! It's too late for them, though. Refbot presses the pit release button, and Typhoon II, who have done tremendously well this series, will go no furthur. Cassius Chrome pushes them into the pit. It's all over for Typhoon II and RAF Edinburgh! Firestorm V wins the playoff! They come third!
Cease!
Typhoon II is blown away!
Firestorm V wins the playoff!
Well done to both robots, but its Firestorm V who gets the glory!
