Much better. :proud:
thor will go through with ease. with the front ti scoop it will push may tracks has you to the wall and hammer it flat. :) then you can peel it off and throw it in the bin ~:)
*looks over at Frank for the return stroke to Swannys bold crack*
Get under the side of Thor and show him the view from the other side of the arena wall. Loads of area to get under with no risk of the hammer. I expect to end up as hammered as Ewe 2 did here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk-SvTNp6TEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk-SvTNp6TE :)
frank you have obviously not seen the latest incarnation of thor. based on thz pneumatic system is as powerful and fast. he hasnt had it at full tilt as we dont want to damage other robots in white board fights. thor now has a ti scoop floating on the front so its nearenough impossible to get under the front hence you will be slammed against the arena wall and hammered to a sort of pancake shape. we even have a skewer for you ready. :)

ACTIVATE
Both machines immediately charge in towards each other, Thor sliding across the arena floor as it turns to try and get in on May Tracks armour, but Frank counters by reversing to the right, avoiding the first slam of Thors hammer, and now drives in on its red opponent, wedging in underneath the front corner. Thor is able to get traction on the arena floor, though, and comes down off the flipper of May Tracks, before driving forward slightly and firing the hammer as the robots collide...just missing the top armour of its opponent though, grazing down the side of May Tracks Hardox bodyshell as Jason shakes his head in frustration.
May Tracks comes on the offensive again, turning to get just underneath Thor and driving onwards, pushing the struggling opponent in a wide arc, and then...
FLIP! Thor is thrown into the air, rolling end over end and coming in to bounce gently off the arena floor - the hammer fires, though, seemingly remaining in position as the rest of the robot somersaults around it back onto its wheels. May Tracks flipper retracts in a rush of vented gas, as Frank leans up in his control booth, powering forward to retain the advantage against Thor, but Thor gets away, moving in reverse to stop by the edge of the flame pit, before coming in on another charge, as May Tracks turns to face the approaching opposition before applying full power to both Lynch drive motors...the machines collide yet again, and as May Tracks front wedge slides undernath Thors scoop, Thors hammer swings over the robot again!
FLIP! Thors weapon makes contact with the top panel of the flipper as the machine is thrown over the top of May Tracks, caught on one of the spikes, and lands on the arena floor just behind Franks machine, which turns to face Thor just as it swings the hammer to selfright again. Thor scrambles back on its wheels facing May Tracks, which is broadside on, and rams in on the side of its opponent, the front side plate of Thor catching on the corner of May Tracks, and slowly begins to push against the tracked machine...wheels and tracks spinning, Thor edging May Tracks slowly onto the flame pit as the struggling of its opponent causes the pair to swing from side to side, the tracks chewing up the warning stripes around the flame grid...the titanic struggle continues, both roboteers concentrating and pushing their machines hard, as May Tracks continues to swing the advancing Thor sideways, firing its flipper to try and jolt the hammer machine off the side, but Thor finds room under May Tracks side as it jumps off the ground from the recoil, and surges over the flames to pin May Tracks up against the arena wall, before bringing the mighty hammer down onto the flipper of its opponent!
May Tracks armour isnt damaged much by the assault, but its still pinned in there as Thor swings the hammer back for another go...Dead Metal comes in towards the action, the contestant machines being on the lip of the lower patrol zone, but backs up almost in fear as the hammer comes down again, bending one of the spikes on the top of May Tracks as the whole arena shakes slightly. Thor reverses back for another attack, and May Tracks creeps slowly backwards, trying to escape, but hitting the house robot who awaits. Dead Metal comes out and pushes May Tracks away, back on to the flame pit, as Thor comes in...the clock begins to tick down, and Frank tries to steer his robot away from the hammer, but is pushing his controls madly - it doesnt look like May Tracks has drive on one side, and as it moves in a slow circle Thor comes in again, getting under the rear corner, and summons up the energy to slam the hammer down on May Tracks again, stopping it in its tracks just before the judges decide the winner!
CEASE
Thor reverses away from its opponent as the flames flicker again, and it doesnt look like May Tracks has any power left - but the match will go to the judges...
DAMAGE: Thor took almost no damage aside from cosmetic scratches; May Tracks had one drive motor become unbolted as a result of the hammering, collected several dents, and broke a battery connection in the last attack: May Tracks 0, Thor 5 (x4=20)
AGGRESSION: At the start they were equally aggressive, and Thor just won out at the end: May Tracks 2 (x3=6), Thor 3 (x3=9)
CONTROL: Thor dominated May Tracks late on, but was flipped around quite a bit earlier: May Tracks 2 (x2=4), Thor 3 (x2=6)
STYLE: Thors self righting was stylish, but May Tracks clinches it because of its acrobatic flipping of Thor (not that it matters :P): May Tracks 3, Thor 2
The May Tracks Has You: 13
Thor: 37
It was a rather one sided decision after a fight which started rather closely; the winners are Team Bud and Thor!
COMING NEXT AT SOME POINT
Exertion vs. Lethal Injection
but dont count on it since it took me a while to get the motivation to write this one with the arguments and exams and things.
Anyway, thoughts, tactics, predictions? :)
Thor went through? Uhm...surprising to say the least...
