Ah, I see.
Well Im boned if Macduff ever meets that damn thing. :proud:
Dont worry, *lowers voice* we at Team Chevron can provide for this sort of thing, for a fee of course.
The going rates are:
10 pounds for a trial to be rigged so you meet tha robot of your choice in the semis;
20 pounds, or a small private island, for a judges decision to be rigged in your favour;
50 pounds, or a set of tracks perfectly made to fit on a featherweight robot, for an entire heat to be rigged to favour you;
100 pounds for a guaranteed podium finish;
and for the big spenders, 500 pounds gets your name on the first place trophy.
Perfect as anniversary presents, birthday gifts, or just to show someone you care. Theres more on offer than what you see here, just call 1234-URJOKINGSRSLY for more details.
80% of all money goes into my secret take over the world with my undead dinosaur army fund...uh, I mean the Oxfam fund, and all services are carried out with just enough carbon neutrality to satisfy Greenpeace. :)

Exertion immediately leaves the starting area to come straight at Lethal Injection, which doesnt seem to quite know how to handle its opponent, turning sideways to try and spin the disc up, and allows the left side wheel to take the force of Exertions attack. Exertion is in under the axlebot now, pushing it sideways towards the arena wall, and Danny tries to drive his robot off the front scoop, sliding down as one of the prongs hits the ground, and the raised front of Exertion pushes Lethal Injection end over end, and...
CRASH! Lethal Injection is thrown upwards, catching Exertions front with one of the spikes as it does so, as the disc hits the floor running in reverse at full speed and sending both robots jumping into the air, sparks flying. Exertion drives straight back in, catching the still-bouncing Lethal Injection on the scoop again, and pushes it into the wall, giving both machines a jolt as the spinning disc of Lethal Injection is stopped by the side. Andy looks up at the scene through the Lexan, steering Exertion to get around the other side of Lethal Injection, which doesnt seem able to move cleanly, one of the front spikes impaled on the side hinge of Exertions front scoop, and the large wheels of Dannys machine provide little resistance on the arena floor as Exertion powers forward, the pit looming ahead. The disc on Lethal Injection spins wildly, repeatedly sparking as it glances off the titanium front scoop of Exertion, but the struggling is for naught as Exertion turns, lowering the scoop and leaving one of Lethal Injections large wheels hanging over the edge of the pit! Danny realises its over now, pulling back the aerial on his controls as he shakes his head, and Exertion comes in with one final ram on the slowly fading Lethal Injection, sending it toppling down onto the tyres and into the smoke.
CEASE
That was over rather early on, and it is Andrew Jackson and Exertion that are the winners!
THE DRAW FOR THE FINAL OF THE PERPETUALLY DELAYED HEAT E
Thor vs. Exertion
Tactics, comments, thoughts, an end to this madness?
5mm hardox is a good armour for any robot. a chassis made from it even better. depending on how its built of course Thor will just go for as many hits as possible and try to damage internals with the sheer force of the hammer blows. Thor is good for 15 to 20 full power hits then will get less as gas runs out. still with thors front scoop which is mounted on a pivot should get under Exertion all day long, push into a corner and make an Exertion pancake. :)
Sigh....
I desperately need to try and make LI actually... good.
Prediction:
Exertion to beat Thor. Sorry Shane!
dont be sorry i will be smug when thor wins :)
