The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament
So Chris, its upto you, if you want to redraw from the heat final, and giving CDM a bye into the semis for any reason, its upto you.
But in the meantime:
Heat D Draw:
Behemoth (27) vs. Take me out vs. Hefty Kick in the Balls
SD IV (6) vs. Avalanche vs. Generator
Just looking, and I havent got Generators stats so can either Tom or Aaron (or anyone else who has then) post them up please.

Awwww. I was looking forward to receiving a thrashing from the reigning Battlebots champ. :proud:
HEAT D
ROUND 1
1) Behemoth (27) VS Hefty Kick in the Balls VS Take Me Out
Two flippers against one srimechless bot. Hefty Kick to make a real balls-up of this :proud:
2) Avalanche VS Generator VS S.D. IV (6)
Unsure about Generator, so for now, Ill say that Ill keep to Mattys sides and see if I can gnaw away at the wheels. Failing that, Ill shove it around with the rear skirt n excellent traction before casting it into the Pit

Behemoths Tactics:
So Hefty Kick In The Balls has no srimech, eh? Well Ill go for a team up here with Take me out and try and land HKITB on its back, while either me or Martyn attacks with the flipper I can bring it to the pit when its on its back and bring it down the corner pit and into oblivion. Most importantly though, avoid HKITBs weapon, though Behemoth is at tough design that could hold up. So basically in conclusion, have the two flipperbots team up here to take out the robot that is sans srimech.

Behemoth (27) VS Hefty Kick in the Balls VS Take Me Out (me)
I am scared of both these and i think if iw as to meet HKITBs later it would probly be easier to take out and its scottish robot hummm i will go for both robots robots try and flip them around and into the pit i will avoid both robots weapons and try and get through.

Ive thought about it for long enough Dave.
I am not really happy with the way things have gone, and I wish Biohazard could have won over a less disputing match. As a result, I feel like winning a match against CDM would feel...unfair. Ya know, like Ultor felt in Series 3. Dropping out would be the easy answer and, for me, the right thing to do, as Id feel more happy if one of my other robots won a heat and I did it with a result I could be happy with.
On the other hand, if I dropped out, it could leave a rather...I dunno, empty feeling for the heat final. It just wouldnt be right that the champion has to suffer from this. I am still a competitive sort, and I think Steve, old buddy, old pal, would have WANTED a fight anyways.
So, thus, even though I am not happy with going on, I have decided that Biohazard WILL continue and fight CDM. However, dont expect me to be my usual competitive self, but instead defensive. I will not, for once, try to win. CDM would deserve it more than I would.

Hah, who needs a srimech? Ill go for Behemoth, and flip it with my disc, then disc the underside. I have skirts, and front scoops, so I should be reasonably fine.

Hah, who needs a srimech?
Hah, you will once you end up on your back.
The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament
Yeah, Typhoon 2 would never have won series 7 with no srimech, especially when fighting all those flipper robots.
...Oh, wait.
