Im not proud of myself Kody, but yes Im happy with my robots :wink:. I think for a bloke with no mechanical knowledge at all, they are very good.
Prediction :proud::
Aquarius is faster, more powerful and better armoured, but Leprosy Infection has the flipping drum that gets up to speed very quickly. If Chris lets Aquarius underneath the GC, Tony will win, but Im going for Leprosy to damage the xposed wheels on its opponent:
LEPROSY INFECTION FOR THE WIN!
Out of interest Paul, you seem very knowledgeable about past results. Just how long were you lurking around before you started entering?
Well considering he has an entry with B42-500 Magmotors, I would have to at least 2 years, and closer to 3....
Avoid Infusion, go for OOTA, go for CPZ if I cant to that, same deal as always :P
Frank: Ive been hanging about for quite a bit before I joined. Somewhere around the 6 months margian.
And Aaron: Magmotors were something which I borrowed from ForcePower Turbo and its hp rating.
Im going to hurry up with this heat. Lets get going!
Leprosy Infection vs. Aquarius (5)
Leprosy Infection disposed of Flipping Mad earlier before absolutely shredding Firestorm V into miniscule particles that were fed to the house bots.
Aquarius (5) went through with Leprosy Infection, and then after a struggle put Rogue into a CPZ and Tira-san destroyed him.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Leprosy Infection
Booth 2: Aquarius
Asterix Heroicus and Obelix Bulguous wait patiently for their chance to attack.

ACTIVATE!!!
Its Aquarius, zooming right out to meet Leprosy Infections drum, which has already gotten to full speed!
CRASH!!!
WHOA! Aquarius took quite a hit there, but its Leprosy whos just been sent into the air by his own hit! Aquarius, a little scratched, moves forward: FLIP! Leprosy is inverted! But since hes invertible, this only means that the drum spins downwards now! Aquarius however is again in all-out attack mode, and has rammed the rear of Leprosy before he can even do anything. No flipping however, just a straight push and ram into the wall!
CRASH!
Leprosys drum hits the wall and his rear end gets some huge, which re-inverts him! However hes still stuck on Aquarius wedge! FLIP! Leprosy is tossed, but overtop of Aquarius and lands right-side-up. That said and done Leprosy gets the drum back up to speed, only to find Aquarius coming at him again! Leprosy backs away, none too eager for another air trip but its out of his hands as Aquarius barrels right into the drum!
CRASH!!!
The front end again buckles and goes skyward, landing smoothly, though. Aquarius however has taken a bad hit, and the wedge has been dented greatly on the left side. Aquarius advances on Leprosy again, whose drum is stationary, thats not good. FLIP! Leprosy finds himself on his head again, and desperately tries to get away from his attacker. Aquarius being the quicker of the two catches up to him fairly easily, but out of excitement Tony hits the weapon button. FLIP! Leprosy is righted. Aquarius goes for another flip, but Leprosy has neatly slid off of the wedge and, oh boy that drum is spinning wildly! Aquarius turns right around to face Leprosy, and finds that Leprosy is gone! He backs away looking for the drumbot, but he doesnt have to -Leprosys found him!
CRASH!!!
Aquarius takes the hit on the side, and gets thrown for a loop, landing on his back, his side buckled! Tonys plans of victory are being marred right now by this new-found aggression of Leprosy Infection, and Chris isnt letting up!
CRASH!!!
Aquarius takes another massive blow to the side, and the whole side panel is stripped off completely, exposing all the mechanics! This however has righted Aquarius and hes not about to let victory slip away from his fingertips! Aquarius scoots away as Leprosy comes in with the spinning drum and turning sharply, almost too sharply he makes an attempt for the side. He gets the side, however he hits it on an angle and thus only throws Leprosy right around to face him! Leprosy comes at him again, but Aquarius is still too fast and jets away in reverse before any more drum conflict results. Leprosy follows after him, but Aquarius again goes in reverse, right past Leprosy, and before he can recover Aquarius goes at the side again. FLIP! Leprosy is again inverted! And Aquarius, arm still raised, is heading right for the arena wall! WHAM! Leprosy is pounded against the wall hard, but stays in place thanks to the flipping arm. Aquarius holds him there, until The Watcher comes by and shunts him in the rear, telling him its time to let Leprosy go. He does so, arm lowering in the process, but is back in again, and Leprosy cant get away fast enough. Aquarius hits the side on an angle again, but turns around and bores right into the drum!
CRASH!!!
Leprosy flies back, but its Aquarius who is in trouble now, the left side of the wedge that was previous dented now is scored with a dreadful gash from the drum, and the rest of the wedge isnt looking too good either! Aquarius is also now moving rather sluggishly, but still fast enough to catch Leprosy without the drum spinning...in fact, the drum is not spinning at all. Something might have happened to the drum during that last hit, but thats for later. WHAM!
Leprosy is crushed against the wall again! FLIP! Aquarius goes for the OOTA but Leprosy goes almost linear that time, straight up into the air and crashing back down onto Aquarius, whose arm is upraised still.
10...9...8...7...
Aquarius lowers the arm and tries to turn, allowing Leprosy to slide off of the wedge.
6...5...4...
Aquarius chases after Chris retreating drummer, and catching up to Leprosy (FLIP!) puts him on his back again.
3...2...1...
Leprosy reverses right into Aquarius arm and tries to push him back...
CEASE!
What a battle that was, but three minutes couldnt solve anything! Its all on the judges now!
Leprosy Infection - Aquarius
Style = 4/5 - 1/5
Control = 2/5 - 3/5
Damage = 4/5 - 1/5
Aggression = 1/5 - 4/5
Strategy = 1/5 - 4/5
Total = 12/25 - 13/25
A tight decision, but its Leprosy Infection who takes the long road home.
Aquarius (5) advances to the Series Semi-Finals!!!
Heat D
Enter the May Tracks (7) vs. BIACS-LE vs. Panic Attack
Allanon vs. Whirligig 4.0 vs. FBSDS
Tactics, predictions, if you please. :proud:
I was wrong - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Anyway :proud:
Heat D
Enter the May Tracks (7) vs. BIACS-LE vs. Panic Attack - I predict that Panic Attack is going to be highly damaged by Matts machine before going OOTA, thanks to Frank
Allanon vs. Whirligig 4.0 vs. FBSDS - Mr Holt to go, after taking bashes from Whirligig.
And my overall prediction is either Whirligig or FBSDS. Whirligig is more likely though.
HEAT D
ROUND 1
1) Bull in a China Shop L.E. VS Enter the May Tracks (7) VS Panic Attack
I think I can see the Bull taking a tumble down the pit.
2) Allanon VS F.B.S.D.S. VS WHIRLIGIG 4.0
Any other bulky spinners youd like to throw in there, Kody? :lame:
Allanon appears the weakest, at least in terms of traction. Crash, smash, bash and, if it wont die, push.
Spin up, wreak havoc :)
If its the one Im thinking of, BIACS-LE is kinda awkward to fight with a flipper, so Ill concentrate on Panic Attack. Flip it, and try to stack it on the wall, and eject it from the ring if poss.
