So many variables, seen some bots with thin armour last a stack of hits and others gone of the first hit.Quote:

Battle wasn't too bad, would have liked a little more detail, but I could follow it easy enough :D
Nice work!
ROUND TWO
From Texas, in the USA, Bandwagon!
Another newcomer to the FRFFT, its a box with a powerful flipper. Skirts prevent it from being flipped, and its fast at 20mph. How effective is the weapon, though?
From West Yorkshire, N3!
The team fought before with The Hurting, which won the FRFFT: Series One Heavyweight competition. Will they get second time lucky with a front forklift and crushing beak? Its got a high ground clearance towards the back, so flippers could have their chance.
From Toronto, in Canada, Tira VI!
Also from an experienced team, Tira VI has a vicious looking spinning disc on the front, as well as a self-righting mechaism, which may come in handy later on. However, the weapon is powered by petrol, so it better stay away from the flames.
From Cardiff, in Wales, Brutalis 2.1!
A box wedge with a front hinged flipper and spikes, this looks like it will live up to its name. Its fast and durable, but undamaging, really.
Roboteers, stand by!
In Booth One, theres Mark with Bandwagon and Joey with N3, hoping to get back the title. And in Booth Two, Kody with Tira VI and Liam with Brutalis 2.1.
In the arena for the house robots, we have Sir Killalot and Mr Psycho! The two heavyweights for the first time in the FRFFT.
3-2-1: Activate!
Tira VI chases after Bandwagon, but gets pushed into by Brutalis, who tries to flip, but misses. Tira VI turns around to HIT Brutalis with the disc. Brutalis escapes with little damage. Bandwagon slips under N3s side and FLIPS it over! N3 self-rights due to its shape, but Tira...OH! Tira hits N3 from behind and sparks fly! N3 not damaged, though. Bandwagon presses the pit release button. Down it goes. Brutalis bumps into it, but Bandwagon turns away. N3 tries to push Tira towards the flame pit, but Tira gives it another hit and runs away, straight into Brutalis. Brutalis turns to try and flip Tira again, but only pushes it away a bit. Back goes Brutalis into Bandwagon, who flips! The skirts on Brutalis stop it from going over, though. Bandwagon backs away, as Tira moves in. N3 pushes into the side of Bandwagon and slowly lifts it up! Bandwagon flips itself free, but N3 continues its pursuit. Tira hits Brutalis again! This time a small gash has formed on the side of Brutalis, but that doesn't stop it. Bandwagon comes in for another go at Brutalis, but Brutalis slides under and flips it! Bandwagon rolls over, but self-rights using the flipper. OH! Tira hit Bandwagon as it self-righted, and has made a gash in the underbelly! Mark gets away, as Tira heads towards Liam's machine again. N3 shoves into Bandwagon and tries to get the forks under, but Bandwagon flips! N3 doesn't go over, and it recovers to have a go at Bandwagon again! Tira is laying into Brutalis at the moment. Another gash has been formed. Brutalis turns to get around the sides, but Tira counters and clips the back end. Brutalis gets away. N3 pushes Bandwagon into the angle grinder. A good battle so far. Tira SMASHES into Bandwagon and N3 with the disc! One of Bandwagon's sides is ripped, and one of N3's forks looks bent. Tira seems to be doing all the work here. Bandwagon slides under the side of N3 and throws it over! N3 self-rights, only for Brutalis crash into it. Bandwagon flips N3, but N3 comes back down and escapes. Brutalis slides under Bandwagon and throws it over again. Bandwagon self-rights, as Tira moves in to give it a hit! Another gash for Bandwagon. Tira follows and hits it again. Bandwagon is on the edge of the CPZ, and Sir Killalot is waiting. He picks Bandwagon up with the claws and parades it around for a bit before dropping it next to the pit upside down. It self-rights as N3 and Brutalis move in to push it towards the pit...OH! Down Bandwagon goes. N3 got the forks under and pushed it down! N3 backs away to avoid going in itself, so too Brutalis. Tira hits the back of N3 again, gashing the rear armour. The last ten seconds count down. Brutalis pushes Tira from the side, and this time into Mr Psycho! Tira gets away as Mr Psycho's hammer comes down and misses! Lucky for Tira there.
Cease!
Bandwagon got run over.
The other three will go to the judges. You know the score: Style, Control, Damage and Aggression.
N3: S: 3 C: 2 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 9
Tira VI: S: 3 C: 3 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 11
Brutalis 2.1: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 8
The judges have decided that N3 and Tira VI go through! Well done to them.
This is what the next round looks like.
Blue Hurricane VS N3
Tira VI VS Infusion
See you later, and, your probably tired of hearing this, I'm sorry if once again the battle was poorly detailed. I had a bit of a headache while I was writing it. Maybe I need to take a break again. Comment at will :)
Good fight, Elliot.
Blue Hurricane's tactics: If there is one thing vertical crushers can't STAND, it's full body spinners. That's how Razer almost lost against 13 Black in Extreme 2. So, I will avoid the front like the plague, get to the rear or the sides, and smash the daylights out of it.
Good luck Joey. :)
Let's see some more brilliant battles, Elliot! ;)
Tira VI VS Infusion
Attack the disc with Infusion's rim, should be able to get some Warhead VS Nightmare style damage happening. The sides on Tira are pretty big so they should also be an easy enough target to attack with the rim or the wedge.
Should be an interesting match.
Ho boy.
Tira Vi vs. Infusion
Right. If he tries coming for the disc, I'll give the rim a nice shot from the wing tips by spinning them into him. Since they're angled, quite low, and made of decently-thick Ti/V, I doubt he can do much to them. He can, however, do much to my disc, so I want to avoid a disc-rim collision. The only time I want my disc in the action is against his wedge, or if his rim is NOT spinning. Infusion is a powerful bassa' to fight, so I'm not stretching my neck out too much.
So yeah. Protect the disc and keep him at bay until I can get some good, safe shots in. O'course, since this is Aaron I'm talking about, he probably ain't gonna let that happen, but we'll see. :P
Good luck, me Aussie chum.
Sorry about the break, just waiting for tactics and preditions as usual :)
Expect fight up between tommorow and the weekend
My predictions are:Quote:

Yes, there will be cake, but you can't eat it.
Drat. Gone for 4 days of vacation and this is what happened?
Anyways, about the battle...
There was only 1 thing I didn't understand: Why was I attacked by Killalot when I wasn't past the line? Refbot should've given him a bloody yellow card?
Other then that, the fight was excellent, although my flipper didn't appear to be working for a quarter of the match.
Congrats to Joey and Kody, and bad luck to Liam.
What I meant to say was Bandwagon was on the red line of the CPZ, Mark. Sorry about the rubbish detail of my fights, everyone, but be sure it won't happen again
Well, please look at Steel Avenger vs Tornado vs King B Powerworks. After Tornado was immobilized, Steel Avenger broke off one of King B's wheels. At the end of the fight, it ended up on the red warning line in Matilda's CPZ, and even though it had not entered into the CPZ, Matilda hit it with the flywheel illegally.
That's what it seems like here also. Killalot illegally picked Bandwagon up and tried to pit it, even though it wasn't past the red line.
I'm not asking for a rematch, but I would like it if you would take note of that for future battles.
Just remove the house robots, there is no problems. 8)
This is a tribute for the king of pop, if thats OK
ROUND THREE
From West Yorkshire, N3!
From Vancouver, in Canada, Blue Hurricane!
Roboteers, stand by!
As usual, Joey at the controls of N3 and Samuel with Blue Hurricane.
The house robots are Matilda and Growler.
3-2-1: Activate!
N3 did well in the last round, but has the spinning shell of Blue Hurricane been repaired? Its spinning quite fast, so yes. OH! N3 tried to make its move but got clipped on the side by Blue Hurricane. N3 turns around, only for Blue Hurricane to hit it again, this time spinning it to one side! Now N3 backs into Blue Hurricane, causing sparks, but nothing else. Blue Hurricane gets away, but N3 follows. Joey needs to get hold of Blue Hurricane while it isn't spinning. N3 hits Blue Hurricane with its front beak and pushes it towards the angle grinder! Blue Hurricane trapped, but as N3 brings the forks down, it gets away! Lucky for Samuel there. N3 isn't far behind and gives it another nudge. Sparks fly again. I'm not too sure, but is the beak of N3 damaged from all those hits? It doesn't look like it. This time it avoids Blue Hurricane and presses the pit release button. It backs away...OH! Blue Hurricane struck it from behind and spun it away! N3 regains control and pushes into it. Blue Hurricane spins up again, so N3 needs to avoid that. A good battle by both sides so far. Our newest edition, the house robots, haven't been out so far. N3 hit by Blue Hurricane again, and onto the flame pit! It gets off, but Blue Hurricane takes another go! Gashes and scratches are appearing in the armour of N3, but its still going. It turns around, getting another clip from Blue Hurricane. N3 charges forward, ramming into Blue Hurricane and pushing it aside towards the wall. Blue Hurricane tries to get away, but N3 is holding it there. Its not in a position for the beak to do any damage. Samuel can't do anything. Growler looks on from his CPZ. Will N3 push Blue Hurricane there? No! Its lifting Blue Hurricane up on its forks and dragging it away. Blue Hurricane turned to face the pit! N3 charges and OH! Almost in, but Blue Hurricane fell off the forks and got away. Into the CPZ, though! It escapes as Matilda comes in. N3 gives chase and bashes into it before it can spin up again. Blue Hurricane pushes into the side, but N3 simply brushes it aside and turns to use its beak. Now Blue Hurricane spins, but N3 hits it again before it gets any faster. The last ten seconds count down. Blue Hurricane tries one last shove at N3, but N3 counters its design and slips under again, pushing towards the wall. It won't get it out, though.
Cease!
What a fight. Both robots mobile at the end. So the judges will make their decision.
Blue Hurricane: S: 2 C: 2 D: 3 A: 2 Total: 9
N3: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10
Controversial, but N3 goes through to the Grand Final! Well done to them!
Me: Professor Martin Smith, was it a difficult decision to make?
Smith: Yes. Blue Hurricane was damaging, but N3 had the most control, at one point lifting Blue Hurricane up and pushing it against the wall. Controversial, like I said before.
Me: Thank you.
Next, who will join N3 in the final?
Tira VI VS Infusion
See you then :)
By now, you've probably noticed how slow and short some of my fights are. For the next three weeks, I shall be doing work experience at Jersey Gas, and after work, will probably be too tired and interested in other things to write on here. I wrote this not only as a tribute, but to keep you interested as well. Sorry about that, but once the summer holidays get underway, I'll probably be back to my old self :proud:
Don't worry. It's just fine.
Welcome back after a long wait.
ROUND FOUR
From Toronto, in Canada, Tira VI!
From Queensland, in Australia, Infusion!
Roboteers, stand by!
The Infusion team in booth one, and in booth two, the Tira team.
The house robots are Dead Metal, who is making a first appearance on the show, and Shunt.
3-2-1: Activate!
Two spinning discs. Equals carnage if you ask me. Infusion rushes to the side of Tira, who turns away. They need to avoid that spinning ring on Infusion. Infusion charges, but misses as Tira moves out of the way! Now Tira...OH! It hits the front wedge with the disc. Infusion pushes it aside. Sparks fly as the ring clips Tira's armour, causing a small dent. The wedge of Infusion takes no real damage also. Tira turns around, but Infusion pushes into it with the wedge and towards the flame pit! The disc on Tira is powered by a petrol engine, so it needs to get away from there! OH! The disc rips into the wedge, but Infusion keeps pushing. It backs off, allowing Tira to plan its next move. OUCH! Infusion came in from the side and as it zipped past Tira, made a gash in the armour! Tira turns around, but Infusion gives it another whack! Spinning Tira to one side, but its still mobile, Kody's robot. This time it heads towards the pit release button, but Infusion follows, nudging it a bit. Tira presses the button, ripping it apart as well! Infusion backs ALMOST into the pit. Tira turns to face Infusion, who charges head on. Tira's disc makes a small tear, but nothing more. Its caught in front of Infusion again, allowing Aaron to push it into a CPZ! Tira gets out of there as Shunt comes in. The disc hits the wedge again, causing another tear. Is it coming loose, though? One side looks like its dangling off. Infusion spins around, striking Tira again! Part of the armour seems to have peeled off it at the side on Tira. Infusion gets the wedge under the side and pushes Tira onto the flame pit! OUCH! The spinning ring makes a split in the armour of Tira. It looks like its about to fall off. The disc spins to a stop, and come to think of it, that's not the only thing thats stopped! Did that last impact knock Tira out completley? I think so! Kody can't get it away from the flame pit. Refbot comes in as Infusion pushes Tira into an angle grinder. Tira is immobolised, but they'll have another chance in the playoff.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
And now the newest feature to FRFFT, the house robots, can come in to clean up the mess. Shunt hits Tira with his axe and drags it towards the pit. Dead Metal looks on as Shunt moves forward to push Tira into oblivion. Good stuff by Infusion. They go through to the grand final!
Cease!
Tira full of tears and holes, and in the pit.
Infusion moves into the grand final!
So, this is the final lineup
Playoff
Blue Hurricane VS Tira IV
Grand Final
Infusion VS N3
See you then. Sorry about shortness of fight, imagination isn't on my mind at the moment
Blue Hurricane's tactics: Spin up to full speed, and smack right into the disc. When it's disabled, I will just tear it apart like there is no tomorrow.
Good luck Kody. :D
As for the other battle, I reckon Infusion will win.
Tactics: Uh...get under the toothless (do you see any actual teeth mentioned in Infusion's stats? I didn't last I checked) ring with the forks, lift it, clamp it and pit it. Usual N³ tactics really :P
(it's N³ btw ELLIOT, not N3 as you keep calling it :proud:)
Lol, I will put a potato in the exhaust of N3, disabling it completely :lol: If N3 tries to start it's motor with the potato in the exhaust and the potato is fired out at great velocities, N3 will be disqualified for having an unteathered projectile :rofl: I also see no mention of batteries for an electric starter (do you see any starter mentioned in N3's stats?), so the first decent big hit that stalls the motor will be the end of N3, potato or not :mrgreen:Quote:

May the best potato... I mean bot win.
Nuts.
Back into Blue Hurricane, and push/flip him into the wall. Once he's there, rip the hell out of him with the disc.
Good luck.
Damn you and your potatoes Aaron :P
You're right about the lack of a starter Aaron, it's pushing the weight as it is...then again The Big Cheese didn't have a starter and it never stalled, despite being flipped and rammed quite a lot (are you reading this Mark? :proud:)
I'm not too sure that The Big Cheese used a petrol engine to power the hydraulic pump...
It did.Quote:

Thank you for clarifying that, Leo.
Welcome back after a long break. Now its the holidays, I'll have a lot more time on my hands
PLAYOFF
From Vancouver, in Canada, Blue Hurricane!
From Toronto, in Canada, Tira VI!
Roboteers, stand by!
Whoever wins this becomes third place in the third series. Samuel with Blue Hurricane knows whats at stake, and too Kody with Tira VI.
The house robots are Mr Psycho and Sir Killalot, the FRFFT's newest assets.
3-2-1: Activate!
Both robots spin up and charge towards each other, but Tira swerves at the last minuet. Blue Hurricane turns around, and this time makes contact with the side of Tira, making some sparks and a slight tear, but nothing else. Tira turns to use its rear wedge and slides under Blue Hurricane. Blue Hurricane slides off before Tira can use its flipper. More scratches made to the armour as well there. OH! Tira's disc connected with Blue Hurricane and the sparks fly! Blue Hurricane heads towards the end of the arena towards the pit release button. It presses the button and down goes the pit. OH! Tira came charging in again and the force of the disc lifted one side of Blue Hurricane up. It recovers and spins up again. Tira gives chase. Blue Hurricane passes Tira on the side and clips it, making another tear. Tira needs to do something here if its going to go to the judges. Now it turns around to use the flipper again. Blue Hurricane tries to avoid it but ends up sliding up and into the wall! Rebounding off, into the CPZ! It gets away as Mr Psycho comes in, but it isn't spinning up yet. Tira comes in and flips it over. Blue Hurricane gets away and now it begins to spin up. Tira makes a move and they collide again! Something came flying off there! What was it? Hopefully nothing important. Blue Hurricane hits Tira again, this time peeling part of the front armour back! The fight for third place is heading in Blue Hurricane's favour at the moment. Tira turns around, but Blue Hurricane isn't falling for that and just swerves away as Tira reverses. Now it comes in. OHH! Spinning Tira away. Is the disc on Tira spinning? Just about, but it looks a bit wobbly! Kody remains confident and charges forward at Blue Hurricane again. The spinning discs collide once more and this time Blue Hurricane comes off worse! It appears to be stuck on Tira's disc. Tira isn't moving as well. Kody can't do anything. Blue Hurricane can't move too since its wheels are off the ground. Refbot has a look and pushes Blue Hurricane off the disc! It gets away and spins up, but Tira isn't! Did that impact immobolise it? Samuel moves forward and OUCH! The spinning ring slices into the front armour of Tira, around the disc, and tears part of it off! Refbot comes in. Kody knows he's out.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Its all over for Tira VI. Blue Hurricane comes third place! Now Sir Killalot can come in to sweep the mess up. He grabs the back of Tira and lifts it into the air! Parading it around to the audience, the last humiliation of Tira as Killalot dumps it into the pit. Blue Hurricane, I think, very lucky there.
Cease!
Tira is out. And theres no award for fourth place!
Blue Hurricane takes third place!
Well done to Samuel.
Later on
GRAND FINAL
Infusion VS N3
And now a disclaimer.
My imagination seems to be broken, so I apologise for inaccuracies or mistakes. Comments are welcome. Also, I have discovered some of Series 5 of RW on Youtube. That's all :)
Welcome to FRFFT: Series Three: The Grand Final! Its been a short show, but lets see how our two finalists got this far.
In Round One, Infusion battered SOID and sent Back to Rock back to the scrapheap. N3 disposed of Bandwagon and took it to the judges with Brutalis 2.1.
In Round Two, Tira VI was no match for Infusion, who immobolised it, and N3 calmed Blue Hurricane thanks to the judges.
I'm here with Martin Smith, one of the judges.
Me: Mr Smith, who do you think will win?
Smith: I'm not too sure. If N3 keeps away from the ring of Infusion, it could get under the wedge, but Infusion is hard to get even from there.
Me: Thank you, Mr Smith.
See you later, that was just the beginning :proud:
Also Joey, how do you get a small cubed sign? :)
I use character map, although you can just copy/paste one wherever you find it :P
Bleh.
GRAND FINAL
From Queensland, in Australia, Infusion!
From West Yorkshire, N3!
As usual, we have Joey with N3 and Aaron with Infusion.
The house robots in this fight are Matilda and Cassius Chrome.
3-2-1: Activate!
What a fight this should be. Infusion spins up and tries to find N3s weak spot, but N3 makes a sudden turn and gets the forks under the front wedge! Pushing Infusion, but not for long as Infusion backs away, clipping the side of N3. No damage though. OH! Now there's damage. It got another hit in, Infusion and made a small tear in the side of N3! N3 gets away as Infusion turns around. This time N3 is ready and gets the forks under the wedge again. Turning Infusion around and now the beak comes down! Will it try and tear the wedge off, N3? Infusion pushes back, but N3 shoves it into the arena wall! OUCH! The wall is broken, but not enough to stop the fight and fix it. N3 gets go of Infusion, who's weapon has slowed because of the impact on the wall. Joey turns around to face Infusion again, but Infusion goes towards the pit release button. N3 moves in and connects with the ring, causing sparks, but no more damage. Down comes the beak. The pit opens, yawning at the two opponents that are locked metres away! Infusion pushes N3 away, but N3 is still holding its ground. It lets go as Refbot has a look. Who has been the more aggressive? I'd say N3 at the moment. Infusion spins up again and charges at N3. N3 swerves to avoid the wedge, but is once again hit by that disc! Now there's a rip in the front of N3. OH! Infusion backed into it and something goes flying off! Was it one of the forks? I don't know. N3 is damaged, but still going. The beak looks a bit bent. The forks get under the side of the wedge of Infusion and lift it up. The beak comes down, onto one of the wheels! Pulling Infusion along, N3, can Joey bring it to a CPZ or the flame pit? It backs off, dropping Infusion in the process and suffering more damage in the process! As it dropped Infusion the ring clipped one of the forks and bent it! Infusion gets under the front of N3 and pushes it towards the CPZ. Cassius Chrome is waiting, but lets be honest, what can he do? N3 gets away, only for Infusion and Matilda to come in. Infusion pushes N3 into the wall, but N3 gets away as Matilda's flywheel comes in. OH! Infusion gets under Matilda and pushes it into Cassius Chrome! I don't think the house robots will be happy about that. N3 takes advantage and tries to get under the sides, but the disc makes a cut in the beak. The last ten seconds count down. A brilliant fight, great tactics on both sides. It'll go to the judges as N3 runs into Infusion one more time, trying to push it towards the pit, but Infusion gets away at the end.
Cease!
What a fight! The judges will make their decision, based on Style, Control, Damage and Aggression. Lets see the scores!
N3: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 9
Infusion: S: 2 C: 2 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 10
Infusion is the winner of FRFFT: Series Three! Well done to Aaron. He's taken the title from Joey, but both did well. We'll see Infusion in the next series, if there is one. :proud:
Thank you all for entering. Goodbye for now :)
So, whats next for me. I'll be taking a long break in the summer holidays, you won't see more from me until around Christmas probably. See you later :)
Congrats to Aaron for proving his old bots can still win, and congrats to everyone who entered.
Been a while since Infusion performed well :) Thanks for playin people :P
