well said Chris :proud:
Breed vs. Rogue vs. Firestorm V
I fear Breed will be outdone by its two opponents here
Erm, Martijn, I believe Firestorm was entered by you, so it might be wise to enter some tactics. :proud:
wiseass :proud:
Firestorm will look for a tea-up with Rogue, or just go for whatever part of Breed is closest. After seeing how Firestorm flipped S3 OOTA, and considering the low weight of both parts of Breed, its OOTA Ill be aiming for
Martijn, what I think you might wish to try is to get around the rear of Rouge and shove the spinning disc into Breed. If it doesnt kill one of the parts, itll certainately flip it.
If Rouge doesnt lose the first round and Firestorm does, then Aquarius might win again. If Rouge loses, then Ill go for Rouge.

Breed vs. Rogue vs. Firestorm V
Breed is a clusterbot by Andrew Jackson. Interestly its named after a song by Nirvana. Even the names of the clusters themselves refer to that song. You Can Plant A House (YCPAH) has a rear spinning drum powered by a Mag, while its twin, You Can Build A Tree (YCBAT) has a linear-actuated lifting arm. They both have that wedge shape with rounded rear and sides, a 3.25mm hardox monocoque chassis, and LEM130 drive! Each cluster weighs 50kg, so its pretty easy to throw these guys, though.
C&BT1: Beaten by Shovearound 2 in the first round of Heat F.
Rogue, a newcomer to the C&BT, was made by Aaron Knight. It has a extremely intimidating horizontal disc, tilted down slightly. This is because it is powered by a chainsaw and an Astroflight motor! Using those, it gains a 2500rpm spinning speed, a 273km/h tip speed, and 32kJ of force on every full blow! Its chassis is 8mm of titanium/vanadium monocoque alloy and its drive speed is 12mph, but it doesnt look like it can self-right properly...
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Firestorm V is one of the most revered and respected combat robots in the history of the sport since Series 3 of Robot Wars, where he debuted. It mimicks Rogues speed of 12mph, though slightly faster, and it has a front-hinged penumatic flipper. Its armour is composed of aluminum and it is quite nippy thanks to its go-kart wheels. If you wish to defeat Firestorm, you had better take advantage of its poor pushing power. Its rear is also prone to assault. Martijn M Benschop was the one who entered Firestorm V in this tournament.
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Firestorm V, Rogue
Booth 2: Breed
Its time for another house bot appearance as the big bad boys Ancalagon the Black and Exa-Gore-Ic: AI are set to go.

ACTIVATE!
There goes Firestorm V right after Breed, who has immediately split and the twins are looking to do some damage. Rogue is out and about too, not really caring what its disc runs into. Speaking of running into things, heres YCBAT with a brave charge at Firestorm, but no go! In fact, it was Firestorm who got under YCBAT, and threw him a good way across the arena! And that signals YCPAH to ram Firestorms side with the wedge, but another no go as the RW7 2nd seed drives right over the front wedge and rams YCBAT. YCBAT just avoids the charge but is too late to avoid a hit...from Rogue!
CRASH!!!
Ooh, that just had to leave a mark. YCBAT is knocked right over Firestorm wedge and right into an empty CPZ! ...what?! There is no mark?! Well then, that 3.25mm hardox sure stood up to that, but heres what it wont stand up to: a house bot weighing about 15 times as much cornering you and trying to grab you with its gigantic jaws! With YCBAT busy, Firestorm searches for the other Breed twin, YCPAH, and realizes that he doesnt need to, for YCPAH has found him! A slam to the rear, and Firestorms wheels leave the ground! WHAM! Into the wall goes the fiery bot, but Rogue doesnt want to be left out, and just nicks the pit release button so as to avoid ripping it completely out, but unfortunately the power of that spinning blade has caused damage to it. :angry: Oi, we are NOT allowing you to destroy the arena! And Ancalagon comes out of the CPZ to deal out the bill of punishment! This means YCBAT is freed from that CPZ but has sustained some damage to the side from one of the discs next to those jaws, and OH WHATS THIS?! YCPAH HAS BEEN THROWN OUT OF THE ARENA!!! Look at this: Firestorm recovering from that earlier ram, getting straight in underneath the side, and tossing them right over the wall! They knew about the weight disadvantage and they performed perfectly! This means that Breed is out of the picture, since one of the clusters has been taken out. Oh, and there goes YCBAT, straight into the pit because theres nothing better to do.
CEASE!
The weight disadvantage comes back to bite the Breed right in the...well Id rather not say where. :proud:
Rogue and Firestorm V advance to Round 2!
Round 2
Aquarius (5) vs. Rogue

I predict that Aquarius is going to take advantage of Rouges scimech issues, and the aluminium armour of Firestorm V to be crushed by Leprosys drum.
Heat B Final
Aquarius vs. Leprosy Infection
Kody, that wasnt all that bad :proud:
