Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4
SHA2 vs Orka... I may give more detailed tactics in the near future, but Sheer Heart Attack 2 plans on attacking Orka's sides and rear hard and relentlessly, and when wedged by Orka, I will use my tracks that will always keep in contact with the ground, and drive off asap
good stuff Im seeing here, Count Bleck is annoyingly present in post shots of my bots though! Go away!
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4
Before we progress with the series semi-finals, there's another minor semi we must push through...
Featherweight Semi-Final 2
Redemption vs. Little Hitter 2
Roboteers, stand by...
We have guest house robots in the form of lightweight Tremor and middleweight Terminus...enjoy your positions while they last, lads. :wink:
3...
2...

ACTIVATE!
Here we go, then, and it's a bit surprising as Redemption is giving its all in the hunt for Little Hitter's sides...but finds that the plucky hammerbot can easily get the front in! There's little else Joey can do, though, if he wants to avoid that bludgeoning weapon...but try as he might he is unable to get about Little Hitter and the hammerbot takes advantage, getting the forks under after a patient turn and giving that bassa a healthy dose of smackage! This wouldn't have mattered much, as LH2's forks are low enough for Redemption to keep wheel contact with the ground, but the axebot pushes Redemption backwards, side-on and hammering away! Massive dents are already seen in Redemption's steel armour, look at the power of that hammer! Redemption JUST manages to get away before being totally flattened, but it appears that he's been slowed down quite early in the match! Here comes Little Hitter now, with some aggression, and Redemption is bumped aside as Little Hitter smacks into the rear of it. Hurriedly Joey tries to turn and ram his opponent's side, but Little Hitter already turned around before Redemption did, and is bearing down on him! There's a frontal collision, in which the little forks get underneath Redemption's wedge, and Little Hitter resumes smacking away...ironically, Redemption on top of the forks helps stabilize Little Hitter as he's smacking away, but Redemption is now beginning to push Little Hitter back! Back and back they go...until...Redemption completely stops moving! I think the 2nd set of consecutive blows, 15 in all, at the very least has knocked something out of place, and drained the life out of Redemption! And so Little Hitter parades about the arena whilst The Watcher troops over and ends Joey's quest for...well...Redemption! :proud:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
CEASE!
Sorry, Joey, but there's No Redemption, no resolution, no retribution...and no kidding! :proud:
Little Hitter 2 advances to the Featherweight Final!

Next battle: Sheer Heart Attack 2 (14) vs. Orka RV(6)
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4
Good stuff, Kody - I can't believe we're nearly at the end! :o
Ge5orce vs. Achilles
I think the most important thing to do here is to make sure I can keep getting under Achilles side on. The shape and angle of my wedge should mean that I can get under the skirts quite well, and then it is just a case of getting the right flips in and sending it out of the arena. I should be more manoeuvrable, so hopefully getting to the sides won't be much of a problem. Keep sending it into danger with big flips and get it over as quick as possible. Whether Alex chooses to use pneumatics or hydraulics in this match, I think that self righting will be a weakness for Achilles, which I should be able to exploit.
Sergeant Slaughter vs. Minilith
I don't think the crusher is going to cause me many problems, so just out-push it into the pit or the other hazards.
Heroin vs. The Unnamed Feeling
The plan here will be to get the lifting arm under the sides or the back of Heroin and tilt it so that the flywheel hits the floor and stalls. Keep doing this and see if I can cause damage to the flywheel and/or other parts of Heroin. Keep tilting it and rolling it over, as I can't imagine the petrol engines enjoying that. Make use of the hazards, be annoying, and get it down the pit.
UberForce 2.0 vs. Toro
Ram it. Hard. Avoid the flipper if possible (this robot does have a flipper, right? :P) and dump it into the pit.
Good luck to all! :)
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4
Right. As many of you know, I will be travelling across Canada and staying in Alberta for a few weeks. Because the computer I will be using doesn't have Rhino/Flamingo, this is postponed until then. Worry not, it will be finished! :D
While I am there, though, I may start sign-ups for my mini-tourney, so keep your eyes peeled... ;)
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4
Indeed I have heard, hope you and Tracy have a good time Ko-D ^^ and I shall definitely keep my eyes peeled for the mini tourney (and just in case, reserve me a spot anyway if you're accepting those :P)
Well done to LH as well, was a good fight (damn those water bottles!)
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4
Awesoime fights, and very nice renders - mind if I nick them for my official pics? :D
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4
No problem Frank. :proud:
Re: The Crash & Burn Tournament 4
Right, I'm back home, but even so this shall be resuming in a week or two. There are complications that have arisen so I won't be able to frequent this computer for a bit.
I will work on my other thing's line-ups instead.
