Exactly we all do dodgy puns some time anyway get on with the great fights.
I will, just have patience.
Christopher Mason, any tactics for Octo-Push since you havent given out tactics for your other bots? :wink:
No didnt mean to sound rude or anything.
Not really. Just hit it around with the drum. From what Ive heard, I should (hopefully) be able to out-manouver it.
KOdy, if youre still working on the Walk Away fight, stop and IM me. I got your IM, and apparantly you had difficulty understanding it.
Cool, im busy working on my robots all week and when i log in i find that im winning. :)
Go Go Puzzel!
Will get it done tomorrow.
Sure, Tony. :)
Thanks for the help, Tony. :)
Now then, lets complete the eliminators.
Octo-push 3 vs. Walk Away
Octo-push 3 is another wedge, but more boxy than others. Its wedge is HUGE, and its got 6WD with wheel protectors, just like Minion. Unlike Minion, however, is the sea-coloured area surrounding a massive rear spinning drum @ 1000rpm. The armour is 3mm steel. Christopher says it would need a miracle to overturn his bot, but if it is flipped, its toast.
Walk Away has been modified to make the 200kg mark, since hes a walking SHW. Hes a FBS-shaped bot, but its not an FBS. Its a ring spinner with a 360 degree plow/skirt-type thing surrounding the bottom. The ring weighs 45kg and sports sharp teeth for cutting away at anything and everything. Also, it has a gimmick that allows it to have a 0 ground clearance. However its got no srimech either. Sports 1.5cm hardox armour, so hes incredibly tough.
Roboteers, stand by...

Its Octo-push with the wedge assault on Walk Away, who is NOT moving at all, but getting the spinning ring spinning. So Chris turns his SHW around and attacks with the drum. All of a sudden, Walk Away springs to life, and the bot raises up and moves in the opposite direction. But its not that fast, and sooner or later...
CRASH!!!
Oh boy, who came off worse in THAT hit?! Id say it was Octo-push, as he has been sent sprawling by that hit! Walk Away hasnt been moved that much at all, and the ring is spinning again! Octo-push comes forward with the wedge again, but Walk Away immediately dips down and Octo-push hits the plow...and the wedge hits the ring!
CRASH!!!
And Octo-push feels the hurt badly: the side of his wedge is gnashed right open! Not only that, its spun him around, too! But Walk Aways ring is not spinning now, and Octo-push hurriedly buries the drum in.
CRASH!!!
Walk Away isnt moved at all, and thats probably worse! Great pieces of armour have been completely ripped off of the plow! Walk Away gets up and pushes Octo-push, but the latter responds with a shove of his own, and theyre locked together now, drum-to-ring, and suddenly Walk Away seperates from Octo-push and spins up his ring again. Octo-push turns around to get the wedge under...and finds that Walk Away has played dead again, except for the spinning ring. Octo-push again turns and buries the somewhat damaged drum into the spinning ring.
CRASH!!!
Alert! Flying metal parts! The drum on Octo-push has just been totaled, pieces flying everywhere, and I think that about does it for Octo-push, for they are immobilized on their wheels! Something else internally has broken indeed, and heres Walk Away coming in on the side for an attacking blow!
CRASH!!!
The wheel protectors are mangled, and chewed right up! If Octo-pushs movement wasnt hindered before, it sure is now.
CEASE!
And that about ends it. Walk Away is the winner of the fight.
Octo-push 3 is pushed aside in scattered bits.
Walk Away walks into the Superheavyweight Final!
So...
Featherweight Final
Wuzzel vs. Sith
Lightweight Final
Dales Dead Bot vs. Tiny Tengu
Middleweight Final
Waynestock vs. Tom
Superheavyweight Final
Puzzel vs. Walk Away
Puzzel vs. Walk Away
Aaaaggh, Nooo. Do what I did with Octopush. Dont move unless Im forced to. Hopefully I can tear that flipper off early...
Wuzzel vs Sith: spin up asap and keep the spinning bar between Sith and rear wheels. Let the opponent come to me, im not chasing.
Puzzel vs. Walk Away: Get in fast, make every flip count.

LOL, copy and paste is so useful, isnt it Leo? :wink:
Featherweight Final will be up shortly.
I think its called working smart instead of working hard Kody. :lol:
:lol:
Actually, the fight will be up tomorrow. I got kinda busy with research on valves and lagged with my C&B2 fight. Sorry about that. :sad:
what kind of valves your looking for?
Featherweight section, Leo. Not here. :wink:

Featherweight Finals time! WHOA! Off the bat Sith goes flying into Wuzzels spinning blade, and no damage cuased to Sith, but its looking pretty grim for him now as Alex goes crazy on the flipper button. FLIP! Wuzzel is tossed across the arena, but Sith is right at him again! FLIP! Wuzzel is hurled against the wall! Sith rears behind and rams the landing Sith with his big fat behind! :proud: Wuzzel seems to have been knocked silly by the flip, but before he recovers he is rammed against the opposite wall with great force! Finally, Wuzzel is able to get away, but Sith is following him and Wuzzel reverses expertly, and now the blades reached full speed! Sith is more cautious this time, and decides to sod being defensive, and hurls himself into the blade!
CRASH!
Sith now finds himself with half his face, and spun around with his rear facing Wuzzel, whos starting to get charged up again! The other part of Siths face is laying in one of the CPZs, but thats not really important, and this is: Sith flying into Wuzzel! As Wuzzels blade has only spun up halfway, it doesnt really do anything to the 3mm kevlar, and Sith is back in business! FLIP! Wuzzel is inverted again, and Sith is still there! FLIP! Wuzzel is tossed again, landing on the flame pit! Sith rolls in but Wuzzel rolls out, and the blade is again charging up, and reaching dangerous velocities! Sith hurriedly charges the spinner, but -
CRASH!!
WHOA!!! Look at the power of that featherweight spinner! By the looks of it, it hit the exposed side of Siths front, hit and broke the aluminum bars of the chassis AND smashed through the 3mm on top! Whoa! But Sith, other than that, seems to be okay. Talk about durability! Sith is again stopping the blade from spinning, but doesnt flip, instead ramming the wall and finally...FLIP! But no! Wuzzel hits the wall and bounces behind Sith! Sith reverses to repeat the rear shove into the wall, but Wuzzel gets away this time. Sith spins and charges, but finds the blade back up to speed!
CRASH!!
Both bots go flying...in the same direction! Sith has indeed taken the worst of the hit, with the other front panel dented, but Wuzzel went flying up and crash-landed in front of Sith! Not good for him! Sith gets under and FLIP! Wuzzel is again tossed! And...that about does it for Wuzzel! Hes completely immobilized...except for the spinning blade, which is spinning lethally! Sith really is evil: hes gotten to the rear, and wedging it up! The blade hits the floor!
CRASH!!
Wuzzel is knocked across the arena by the power of his own blade! It must have been powerful, for Wuzzel is thrown across the arena again, and right past the floor flipper! Sith advances again, and reaching Wuzzel carefully shoves him onto the floor flipper. 3...2...1...TOSS! Wuzzel is going...going...gone! The arena camera tracks welcome their newest member. :proud:
CEASE!
Wuzzel fought hard, but in the end, it was all for naught.
SITH IS THE C&BT: OTHER WEIGHTS FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!

Yay for Sith!
Aaaagh, will try and get the Lightweight Final up soon. Been busy with working on my featherweight bot.
Alex, I do hope youre keeping track of your bots records. :wink:
Since when have you been making a featherweight?
A year ago. But since I found out that a featherweights max. weight is 12kg and not 4kg (:proud:), I scrapped my previous project and am working on a proper CAD of my new one. Leo and Co. have helped me with some parts to use. :)
Lol, I know what I need to update, i just havent done it yet, lol, there does seem to be a fiar bit of it though...
Lets see if Alex can make it 2 for 2! :proud:

The Lightweight Final has kicked off! And its Dales Dead Bot hurriedly and successfully ramming Tiny Tengu off the bat! Tengus blades are unable to get up to speed in time and DDB is the one in control! The foam skirts prevent an intrusion on the underside, but thats about all that Tengu can do as DDB rams her right into the wall! This time, Tengu tilts up, and the wedge slides neath the skirts and the spikes pop! Tengu is pressed against the wall even further by the spikes and seemingly has nowhere to go! Its looking bleak for Alex already! However due to the 30-second rule, DDB is forced to release Tengu...and cant! The spikes are stuck on the bottom shell!
CEASE!
Theres a time-out as the crewbots come on-stage to pry the spikes off of Tengu. Its difficult because the spikes are latched pretty tight. Finally, Tengu is free of the spikes and they place DDB about 10 feet away from Tengu. Will this affect Tengus chances?
ACTIVATE!!!
The action resumes, and DDB charges forward again. This time Tengu is spinning faster, and -
CRASH!
The blade hits the wedge with astounding force, so hard that the front of the 6mm Lexan is stripped up from DDB and now theyre stuck again! DDB, who has the superior pushing power, hurriedly drives Tengu right over the flame pit. Weve got a roasting Tengu over the fire, and Alex better do something fast! Suddenly the blade pulls away from DDBs torn wedge and Tengu is away, but DDB isnt going to quit! Tengu gets rammed again about quarter-spin and DDB smashes Tengu against the wall again! Tengu tilts up and away from DDB and smacks the pit release button on her way down. The pit platform descends into the deeps and its anybodys game! DDB charges Tengu but finally, for the first time in the match, Tengu has reached full speed!
CRASH!!!
And it looks like thats all she wrote for DDB, for the side has completely exploded outwards, and parts come flying out the side! Not only that...but any hopes of DDB winning this fight, even after that hit, have been vanquished, for he has been rebounded right into the pit!
CEASE!
Dales Dead Bot lives up to his name. :proud:
TINY TENGU IS THE C&BT: OTHER WEIGHTS LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!

On with the Middleweight Final! And its Waynestock immediately on the attack, slamming into the catbot, and getting under him...FLIP! Tom flies through the air and lands on his back. But he doesnt even get a chance to self-right, because Waynestock is right there with the flipper, and FLIP! Tom does a 360 and lands right on his back! A nice loop-de-loop wont hurt anybody now and then. :proud: And POP! goes the flipper, righting Tom...onto an incoming Waynestock, and approaching the wall Waynestock goes FLIP! and Tom soars over the wall and out of the arena! Chaos 2 and Firestorm all over again!
CEASE!
Tom got some major air, thats what he got all right! :proud:
WAYNESTOCK IS THE C&BT: OTHER WEIGHTS MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!
Random note: Match time was 14 seconds. O_O

Puzzel zooms across the arena hoping to bury its flipper under Walk Away, but Walk Away...ahem, isnt walking. Its not moving, either. It IS, however, spinning up its deadly ring blade, and Puzzel stops just a foot in front of Walk Away, cautious and tense. Walk Away stirs, and suddenly rises up. Leos reaction time is astounding as Puzzel instantly acts, but he went too soon. Puzzels flipper hits the plow, and the plow denies the flipper, sliding it up into the ring!
CRASH!!!
Puzzel is blown away by the hit, and a piece of the flipper is torn off! But Walk Away is off balance now, and wobbling, wobbling, wobbling...and Puzzel comes in! Hes under the plow! FLIP! Walk Away is inverted!!! Thats it! Puzzel has won the Superheavyweight Division! But to complete the celebration, Puzzel reverses into the pit release button, opening the pit! Then he gets behind Walk Away, whose ring is still spinning, and, slowly, shoves him down into the pit! Stranglely, Walk Away doesnt fit, but it doesnt matter! Puzzel wins!
CEASE!
Walk Away walks away from the title.
PUZZEL IS THE C&BT: OTHER WEIGHTS SUPERHEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!
Congratulations to our winners: Sith, Tiny Tengu, Waynestock, and Puzzel. You all deserved where you got to be. Thanks for participating guys, it really was awesome opening this small tournament. I hope to open another one too. Slightly larger, too. Anyway thats all for now. Keep an eye on C&B2 and ATTTWI, folks!
Laterz. :wink:
/Me does a solo mexican wave! :) Yeah baby yeah!
