The Returners Tournament
So with Chezzas spot filled, how many spaces are left to be filled?
-
The Returners Tournament
The heavyweights are now filled unless Ive miscounted, although there should still be 5 otherweight places opened. As otherweight rounds will be in between the heavyweight rounds, I cant do the draw until those places are filled.
-
The Returners Tournament
Since the heavyweight places are already filled, why not post the draw in for that and then remind people about the otherweights?
Im commenting becuase I dont want this thread to be forgotten, as its nearly ready to go.
-
The Returners Tournament
Am I the only person commenting on this thread?
I wanted know, since we arent getting the draw for the heavies until we send in our other weights, Id like to offer Chezza or AJ my otherweights to save time. (if they want to enter those, but since we need 6 more slots and with one person entering 3 otherweights, it might be a good idea if they did). If one says yes then my new list for otherweights will be:
Stiff Brezze - Feather
Gamma Raptor - Light
Zion - Middle
If they say no then keep my list.

The Returners Tournament
Paul youre not the only one waiting I am as well and Frank one thing you do know that Megabyte a HW has won a SHW tournament.

The Returners Tournament
Timmy, that was Super Megabyte.

Actually, your both right. Megabyte did step up to the SHWs for one event exactly as it was in the HW. After RDC won the SHW comp, they built SuperMegabyte. :proud:
Team Plumbcrazy also entered HW Sewer Snake into the SHWs, then at a later date did it again, but added their LW Devils Plunger with it as a multibot :P
-
The Returners Tournament
OK, Ive decided to post the heavyweight draw. Battles will start one week from today, so Martijn and Andy have a 7 day deadline to get their updates in. If you cant get them all in, just post what ones you can. Draw up next post.

-
The Returners Tournament
Heat A
Wedgas Revenge vs Axes of Evil vs WBC - Interesting first round, where Im afriad I believe the newcomer of Axes Of Evil is going to go out here.
Tira III vs Hector vs Y4 - Havent seen Tira in combat, but Ive seen the photo and believe him to get through striaght away. With who is another question.
Heat Winner: WEDGAS REVENGE
Heat B
Chalkie 3G vs Gravity vs Metalmorphosis - A chance of a Gravity going out is quite small, but I believe he will go out.
Turbo Tails vs Hypno-Disc vs Axe to Fall - Hypno-Disc is going out. Axe To Fall will destroy it.
Heat Winner: AXE TO FALL
Heat C
Wedginator 6.0 vs Tengu VII vs TAN - Tengu and Wedginator are powerful and sucessful and Tengu is also deadly and shall tear the wheels off TAN. Goodbye to the real robot.
Leprosy Infection vs Flipping Mad 7 vs Drilla Killa 7 - Leprosy Infection through for sure. Dont know with who else though.
Heat Winner: WEDGINATOR 6.0
Heat D
Razer vs Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs Air - Razers going out here - the hedgehog will tear up the underbelly.
Behemoth vs 259 vs Dante - 259 is going to be smashed around the arena by Dante and beaten.
Heat Winner: DANTE
Heat E
Sheer Heart Attack vs A.R.R.T.D.S vs ForcePower - Blast! Im going to ask Martijn for a gang-up on ForcePower. If we can take him out early on, well have a better chance of winning.
Killotine Evo vs Mechavore vs Ringwraith - Mechavore is going, because it cant self-right and its disc isnt going to harm either of these two.
Heat Winner: KILLOTINE: EVO
Heat F
Crimson Thunder vs Mega Masher 2 vs Big Nipper - Would Danny like to team-up on Mega Masher to try and bring him down. If Dannyrefuses, go for Mega Masher and try to get the claws around the disc. Once this happens, drag him over to the pit and drop him in.
With or Without you vs The Zenith vs GeForce - With Or Without You could suffer in this battle.
Heat Winner: GEFORCE 4.0
Heat G
Tornado vs The Riddler vs Snakebite 4 - Tornados already through, maybe with Snakebite.
Trax vs WAFT vs Knocking-Out - My new robot has more power than either of these other two robots put together. Ram into WAFT and push him around before hammering him whilst he is pinned and keep him hammering until Im told to back off. If Trax comes in, do the same to him.
Heat Winner: SNAKEBITE 4
Heat H
Aftershock vs Double Killa vs Whirligig 4.0 - The current E.O.T.R Champion to breeze through this, with Kodys Aftershock.
Hexadecimator vs Mortgage vs Achilles - Achilles and Mortgage to win via flipping Hexy onto its back.
Heat Winner: WHIRLIGIG 4.0
Heat I
Storm II vs Sewer Snake vs Envy - Storm II is through for sure here as well. Maybe with Envy who will flip Sewer Snake OOTA.
GigaByte vs Turbulence vs MORD2 - Turbulence might go, unless it can flip the very large GigaByte OOTA.
Heat Winner: STORM II
Heat J
Shadow Zone vs Baldur Gamma vs Axe-O-Lotl - Shadow Zone and Axe-O-Lotl win here by pitting Baldur.
YACATR vs Mighty Mouse vs MeCannibal - YES! Mygo, and Ive been put in with two robot that cant kill spinners! Go for YACATR, as Im heavily shock-proofed, but hes only shock-proofed, so ram into the disc and blow him apart. If that doesnt work, destroy Mighty Mouse in all its glory.
Heat Winner: SHADOW ZONE
Heat K
Back to Rock 2 vs Terrorhurtz vs Cyclone Force 2.5 - Im dead already, so just go for the faint hope of hammering Back To Rock and hope the safety link falls out.
Cat With Wheels vs Psyclonised vs Clawdius Decimus Murderous - Cat With Wheels is going to suffer a bit of issues here, especially if either of these two get it. Goodbye Danny
Heat Winner: CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS
Heat L
Chaos 2 vs Death Threat 0.1 vs Quocunque Jeceris Stabit - Death Threat to go through straight away, but not sure about the other two.
Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs Salamander III vs Flick of the Wrist - OMG! This is a battle! I dont really know, but Ill have to go with Flick to go out as Salamander will rip apart its armour.
Heat Winner: SALAMANDER III
Heat M
Seung Mina III vs Merlin vs Hells Teeth 4wd - Go for Hells Teeth and attack for rear, as the disc cant damage me. Push him into the arena wall and thow his back onto it before throwing his front out as well. If Kody wants to help me on this Ill be happy to.
A Night at the Bar vs Velociraptor vs Death Adder 3 - Martijn to win here along with Death Adder 3.
Heat Winner: SEUNG MINA III
Heat N
Typhoon 2 vs Son of Wedgie vs Autoism - Pretty obvious plan - run after Typhoon, catch him and put him on his side. Dont bother about Son Of Wedgie unless I have to.
Super Gore Evo vs Obliteration vs SOR - Obliteration is going down...the pit.
Heat Winner: SOR
Heat O
Darkestar vs Dantomkia vs Aneurysm - Darkestar might get his tracks cut by Aneurysm, or Dantomkia might flip Darkestar OOTA. Basically, Darkestar isnt going to win.
Orka MK4 vs Nitro-Gene 2.0 vs Agro 3.5 - My battle and a good-one. This is when my improvments come into play - Im targeting Agro 3.5s sides and having a go flipping him OOTA. Plain and simple - if I cant get to him, go for Orka and use the same plan.
Heat Winner: ANEURYSM
Heat P
Flipping Mad vs Avarice vs Wedge Devoloution - Wedge Devolution is going through easily. With Avarice.
Megabyte vs Slammer vs Liar - Slammers going out, as its not as strong as it used to be.
Heat Winner: WEDGE DEVOLUTION
(I didnt vote for myself for obvious reasons :proud:)
I hope these prediction suit all of you.

thanks for the extra time Frank, right now With or Without you and Another Night at the Bar are done, Sheer Heart Attack 2 will be done today, and everything else is just bonus
-
The Returners Tournament
envy would get under storm 2 every day as the scoop on envy literally shaves the floor. the only robot envy struggled to get under wad big nipper as they can use their weapon to actually dig into the floor making it impossible to get under. genius really from the Lumb lads. not sure about turb i think it would be a close battle as dave is a good driver. not sure about the rest and like frank says it all depends on the arena so your predictions are all flawd paul. :)
-
The Returners Tournament
You know what, Im going to be a complete ass and give tactics and predictions for the fights as though it was a RW arena they were fighting in. Just to give myself a little warm-up. :proud:
My tactics and predictions for the REAL contests will come in as the heats progress. :proud:
Heat A
Wedgas Revenge vs Axes of Evil vs WBC
I honestly dont see Wheely Big Cheese surviving long.
Tira III vs Hector vs Y4

Winner: Probably Wedga
Heat B
Chalkie 3G vs Gravity vs Metalmorphosis
Cant predict until I know what system Meta uses, but I think Ill take Chalkie to get tossed OOTA by Gravity. :proud:

Poor old Hypno-Disc; hes going out. :sad:
Winner: Tails or Axe
Heat C
Wedginator 6.0 vs Tengu VII vs TAN

Flipping Mad to ripped into sub-atomic particles. :proud:
Winner: Leprosy Infection in an upset.
Heat D
Razer vs Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs Air

259 out.
Winner: Razer or Dante
Heat E
Sheer Heart Attack vs A.R.R.T.D.S vs ForcePower
Bye Paul.
Killotine Evo vs Mechavore vs Ringwraith
If Mechavore can attack the sides of Killotine then MAYBE she could get through, but Im not seeing it. Mechavore out.
Winner: Dunno. :proud:
Heat F
Crimson Thunder vs Mega Masher 2 vs Big Nipper
Mega Masher could get lifted and flipped here byt the Nipper despite its bulk.
With or Without you vs The Zenith vs GeForce
The one bot I didnt want to face Martijns cluster with. :lame: Errrrr...attack GeForce? :proud:
Winner: GeForce :proud:
Heat G
Tornado vs The Riddler vs Snakebite 4
From what I remember, last time Tornado and Riddler fought, Riddler went out. But that was because of Disco. :proud: But anyway I predict the same thing to happen here. Riddler to go out.
Trax vs WAFT vs Knocking-Out
Dunno.
Winner: Snakebite IV
Heat H
Aftershock vs Double Killa vs Whirligig 4.0
Help Steve destroy Double Killa. :proud:
Hexadecimator vs Mortgage vs Achilles
Paul, Hexy is much improved since Battlebots, and it can now self-right properly. Mortgage to go out.
Winner: Achilles for obvious reasons. :proud:
Heat I
Storm II vs Sewer Snake vs Envy
Very open, this fight. Sewer Snake is hella powerful...so Im gonna say Storm II goes out in an upset.
GigaByte vs Turbulence vs MORD2
Turb out. Sorry Chez.
Winner: M.O.R.D. 2
Heat J
Shadow Zone vs Baldur Gamma vs Axe-O-Lotl
Baldur really cant be damaged, so go for Axe-O-Lotl. Ram it around, and if it really starts to become irritating, expose the Toro-flipper and toss. :proud:
YACATR vs Mighty Mouse vs MeCannibal
MeCannibal to destroy itself. :proud:
Winner: Baldur Gamma
Heat K
Back to Rock 2 vs Terrorhurtz vs Cyclone Force 2.5
I can safely say that Terrorhurtz is going out thanks to Back to Rocks nice lifter.
Cat With Wheels vs Psyclonised vs Clawdius Decimus Murderous
Cat to lose its wheels. :proud:
Winner: Psyclonised
Heat L
Chaos 2 vs Death Threat 0.1 vs Quocunque Jeceris Stabit
Death Threat out.
Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs Salamander III vs Flick of the Wrist
The battle of DOOM. :proud: Flick of the Wrist OOTA thanks to a flip from Die-Ceratops.
Heat winner: Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus
Heat M
Seung Mina III vs Merlin vs Hells Teeth 4wd
Im game if you are, Paul. :proud: Toss Hells Teeth around the arena like a rag doll. Wonder if it likes the taste of the arena floor... :wink:
A Night at the Bar vs Velociraptor vs Death Adder 3
Velo out.
Winner: A Night at the Bar
Heat N
Typhoon 2 vs Son of Wedgie vs Autoism
Son of Wedgie to flip Typhoon 2 and thats it.
Super Gore Evo vs Obliteration vs SOR
Assuming Son of Ripper will have a flipper in its newest incarnation :proud:, Ill avoid it and head for Obliteration. Use the clamping jaws and drag him to the pit. He shouldnt really be able to damage the claws at all, really.
Winner: Uh...me? :proud: Well if it has to be out of the others, Ill say SoR. :proud:
Heat O
Darkestar vs Dantomkia vs Aneurysm
Dantomkia out.
Orka MK4 vs Nitro-Gene 2.0 vs Agro 3.5
Nitro-Gene out. Its high ground clearance can be exploited by the others, whom have good coverage around their own sides and rear.
Winner: Orka or Darkestar
Heat P
Flipping Mad vs Avarice vs Wedge Devolution
I think its time we forced Steve to make a revision to that damned wedge. Attack Wedge Devolution. Ram the front and try to get under the Bigger Brother-style plate, and then bend up the flipper with my nice and newly reinforced axe. :proud: Dave can help out if he wants.
Megabyte vs Slammer vs Liar
Slammer out.
Winner: Megabyte. That thing can take out thick titanium!
Tournament winner: Frank for some plot-twist-involved reason. :proud:
Of course these tactics and predictions are completely void anyway since we dont know the arenas yet, so bash me all you want. It wont matter. :proud:

The Returners Tournament
(Quote by Kody)
YACATR vs Mighty Mouse vs MeCannibal
MeCannibal to destroy itself. :proud:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
Actually, he wont. :proud:. MeCannibal has 5 inches of Titanium shock-absorbing foam to aborb attacks from myself and other weapons. But actually, YACATR has no reference to shock-proofing in its stats. So this time, just keep on going at AJs robot until its dead. If it does die, and cease is called, try tearing it apart some more, just to show off the strength of the spinner.
-
The Returners Tournament
Tictacs:
Megabyte:Martijn, wanna survive:proud:. If you do then you toss Slammer around while Ill spin up than we can both demolish Slammer together.
WBC: Damn it, for this heat I will toss Axes to fall around the place and hope for life I dont die. But I probably will anyway.
Sewer Snake: Ill toss Envy all over the place and Storm 2 too if he gets in the way.
Mighty Mouse: MeCannibal wanna team up Ill hide and youll destroy YACATR
Velociraptor:Martijn wanna team up if youll do than Ill drive around randomly and youll destroy death adder 3.
259:Spin up and toss over Behemoth, Dante wanna team up.
Gravity: Straight in toss one of the robots out of the arena straight out.
-
The Returners Tournament
With WBCs tactics I meant Axes of evil not Axes to fall.

Same here :proud:

The Returners Tournament
*Hopes for arenas with house robots*
If Im lucky enough to get an arena with house robots, forget about the other 2 machines and attack the house robots :lame:
I will post more detailed tactics at a later date
-
The Returners Tournament
Tactics only, Im no good at predicting. Also, Ill probably give more detailed one when I know the arenas
Wedgas Revenge vs AXES OF EVIL vs WBC
Go for WBC and axe the wheels.
CRIMSON THUNDER vs Mega Masher 2 vs Big Nipper
A team up sounds good. Ram Mega Masher around and let Paul get it in his grip.
CAT WITH WHEELS vs Psyclonised vs Clawdius Decimus Murderous
Ouch. Errm... hope my opponents go for each other and completely ignore me.
Chaos 2 vs DEATH THREAT 0.1 vs Quocunque Jeceris Stabit
Grapple Quocunque Jeceris Stabit and pit if I can. if not... Ill burn that bridge when I come to it.
:lame:

__________________________________________________ ______________________________ _________________________________________
I completely agree with you, Martijn. And Im not ganging up with or against you Tim. Ive stated that Im going to try and kill YACATR as Id rather not face him later on, but if my plan to rip him inside-out doesnt work, Im going after you.
-
The Returners Tournament
Well Velociraptor doesnt have any weapons I think. So what do you think Im gonna do drive into a random spinning disc.
-
The Returners Tournament
For one, youre not Velocirator - youre Mighty Mouse. And for another, Im not saying youre going to dirve into me - Im going to drive into YOU!
MeCannibal is an FBS, way more powerful than Megabyte or Typhoon or any real robot. MeCannibal can produce 205kj per hit. And as Ive stated it cant self-destruct, so beware.
-
The Returners Tournament
dont underestimate mighty mouse. very very very hard robot to damage.
-
The Returners Tournament
I was just about to say the same thing as Shane. I fought MM on several occasions and its no pushover. And if are you referring to Velociripper (also a machine by Trev) it does have a weapon.
-
The Returners Tournament
Sorry Frank I entered a non-existant robot instead of the robot I wanted to enter that was Velpociripper. Paul what are you saying I want Mighty Mouse to run away and hit the opponent into you.
-
The Returners Tournament
Yes - I am! If you want to gang-up, then do some of the fighting - saying I want to gang-up and then asking someone else to do the attacking is cowardly.
-
The Returners Tournament
OK Ill ram YACATR annoyingly so it cant spin up then you come in and rip YACATR to pieces. There Im fighting.
-
The Returners Tournament
-
The Returners Tournament
-
The Returners Tournament
To avoid any difficulties with re-arranging the draw Ill stick with the line-up I entered innitially, just for clarification that will be...
SOR Hex
GeForce 4.0
ForcePower 5.0
Psyclonised
YACATR
Wedgas Revenge
GigaByte Evilution
Aneurysm
And whats with all the YACATR hating? :lame:
Ive been put in with two robot that cant kill spinners!
Are you claiming YACATR doesnt have the abilities to destroy your robot? If so youre strongly mistaken.
MeCannibal has 5 inches of Titanium shock-absorbing foam to aborb attacks from myself and other weapons.
Where is this foam? If external, its getting torn straight off. If internal, its not going to stop me ripping your armour apart.
MeCannibal can produce 205kj per hit. And as Ive stated it cant self-destruct, so beware.
Cant self destruct and 205kJ spinners do not pair up nicely!! If you do in fact produce that much power per hit, Im willing to sacrifice one of my skirts and drive it into you so you can knock yourself out.
-
The Returners Tournament
Yeah, MeCannibal will destroy itself upon impact. I am quite sure of that. Doesnt matter what arena its in; once it hits something, thats it. Plus its still overweight. :P
-
The Returners Tournament
2.5 times the kj of Tengu? Even I can tell thats not going to work out well.
-
The Returners Tournament
Actually, its been accurately calculated using Team Cosmos kinetic energy as 373kJ, not 205kJ. :proud:
Yeah, MeCannibal will explode. :proud:

Here are the stats for MeCannibal - make your OWN views on it.
-
The Returners Tournament
Is this five inches of foam around the sides, top and bottom or all over?
-
The Returners Tournament
Its inside the body and around the sides of it to protect the electrics.
-
The Returners Tournament
Yeah, I know how efficient that will be.
-
The Returners Tournament
And I should point out that I dont hate YACATR. I just dont wish to face it later on in the heat. IN C&B2, Orka MK.4 was taken out in Round One despite being 3rd seed becuase neither of the other robots wanted to be drawn against it later on in the heat.
Thats my reason for wishing to take out YACATR. I dont hate - I think its a very good and unique design, but Id rather be drawn against Mighty Mouse later on than YACATR.
