Woot! Extremely awesome opening to the tournament, Martijn! As I said before, this is gonna be good. Booyah. :proud:
BUMP?
give people time to write fights! You zoid
In Pauls defense, Martijn DID say he would have the next battle up on Friday. :proud:
But Martyns right. The tournament-runners here (including myself) sometimes just cant fit a fight in at the moment, maybe because they are too busy, or other reasons. So take it easy, Paul.
Ooooooooooooooooooo, shut up! :proud:
Heat A
Round 1
Fight 2
Sky Blast vs Panicking vs Cyclone Force 2.5
Sky Blast: Paul here made a VERY fast and powerful 4WD wedge with front-hinged flipper. That high speed might prove to be a flaw, as does the lack of a front GC, a beginner€™s mistake from Paul€™s side.
In MN1: Did not compete.
Panicking: Martyn took the concept of RW S2 winner Panic Attack and turned it into an invertible and powerful robot. The armour is vulnerable to spinners, but they are nowhere to be found in this match :proud:.
In MN1: Has beaten Kali, with GeForce 4.0, to be beaten by Clawdius Decimus Murderous in the round 2.
Cyclone Force 2.5: Chris delivers us the first interchangeable robot of this tournament. With 5 effective set-ups and raw power that equals Storm 2, this is a dangerous machine.
Cyclone Force 2.5 will use the Storm 2-style lifter today.
In MN1: Did not compete.

ACTIVATE!
Three satisfied competitors start their engines and drive their machines away from the starting-square. What immediately becomes apparent is how all three robots use an above average speed to drive themselves around, especially Sky Blast who rushes towards Panicking 32 mph for a full frontal assault. The more controlled Panicking skid steers out of the way just in time to see his speedier nemesis crash into the arena-wall.
CLANG!
The entire wall can be seen resonating from this impact. Cyclone Force and Panicking in the meantime are in each other€™s reach and the two 6WD LEMbots seem to be in for a party. Panicking comes in first with its slightly superior acceleration and rams its forks underneath Cyclone Force€™s front-corner. Chris€™ interchangeable madness gets lifted up into the air and is in danger€¦ IF IT WASN€™T FOR SKY BLAST COMING IN ON PANICKING€™S REAR! Paul€™s wedge slides over the rear skirt but is stalled against Panicking€™s back, and from there pushes the deadly duo of LEMbots forwards and towards the arena wall!
CLANG!
Cyclone Force falls off Panicking€™s forks, inverted, and Sky Blast ends up on top of Panicking! Martyn smells blood and reverses his machine, hoping to get rid of his piggyback riding opponent like his inspirer Panic Attack has done so many times, in the pit! Panicking€™s control however is inferior to that of the late Panic Attack, and Sky Blast falls off. Enter Cyclone Force, who is far from helpless inverted. The interchangeable bot aims to ram Sky Blast€™s side now, and does so with great success! Sky Blast narrowly steers away before meeting the arena wall though, and immediately turns to Cyclone Force! Cyclone Force dodges the initial attack, and has another go! The inverted wedge touches Sky Blast€™s side again, but actually goes over it! Cyclone Force€™s front-GC is just too bloody when inverted :proud:. Sky Blast rushes forward and activates its flipper, literally THROWING Cyclone Force against the arena wall! Panicking in the meantime recovered from its previous confrontation with the arena-wall and slips its forks underneath Sky Blast€¦ and flips it up and over! Chris is quick to react with his machine, now flipped upside-up, and sees an inverted Sky Blast RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE PIT! The Storm 2-lookalike is already underneath Sky Blast when he even starts self-righting. The srimech loosens Cyclone Force€™s grip on Sky Blast, but the pit is so bloody close! TOO CLOSE!
CEASE
Sky Blast meets the bottom of the pit
Panicking and Cyclone Force 2.5 go through to round 2!

You irratating man, Martijn. Never mind, 1 down, 7 to go.
I dont mind really, its my fault for not stating a front ground clearance.
Psyclonised (1) vs Panicking - No contest. The champ is going to smash Martyns machine apart like no-ones business. Go AJ!
Cyclone Force 2.5 vs B2B - A closer contest. Im siding for Cyclone Force, depending on what weapon its using.

Psyclonised (1) vs. Panicking
12mm Polycarbonate eh? :proud: Well I seem to remember Typhoon 2 made some nice damage to the arena walls... It just so happens Psyclonised is over twice as powerful as Typhoon 2! Theres some nice forks and skirts to rip off as well so this should be a bit of fun hopefully.
For the other fight Ill go for B2B. Great to see Mechanical Noise back on the road again!
Psyclonised (1) vs Panicking (me)
Erm, i am just gonna keep charging at Psyclonised to try and stop it getting near its top spinning speed, I really need to make sure I just stay on it, and try and get it down the pit as soon as possible. I can win this fight, it will be hard, i just need to keep psycloniseds speed down and aim it down the pit as soon as possible.
Predicting!
Psyclonised (1) vs Panicking
Uh, yeah, I can totally see Panicking panicking. :proud: Psyclonised through.
Cyclone Force 2.5 vs B2B
Ill go for Mattys machine to get through here.
