Mechanical Noise - Series 2

Flank Attack: DT (5) vs SOR 5.5 vs Snakebite IV

Hmm, this looks to be a difficult bout. Well, if SOR wants some of me, he can have it :P

From what I remember of SOR, I feel that the best option would be to keep my arms facing it at all times. I dont want to give him any shots at my wheels. His back should give some nice area to grip, and could pincer down; maybe even crushing some armor into his wheels (maybe, I need to see some stats first so I can update these tactics a little)

If he comes at me with the disc, use my differential turning to face him and keep my back to the wall. If he comes at me with the wedge, then go at him full speed. My plan here is that (with my back against the wall) I will go up and over SORs body and land behind him while he comes crashing into the wall. (My acceleration and velocity would be fast enough to go over him before his flipper fires, I believe. If not, it would only flip me away from the wall do to my direction). I will then turn around immediatly and put my pincers to work, crumpling his backside. Hopefully.

And, if Snakebite would like to team up with me to take down this piece of work, all the better :D

I would like some stats for SOR, however, since I cant really find them in this thread :P

Ill team up with Andy for this one, if thats OK with him - Ill stick to the spinning bar, aiming for the wheels, and let Andy have his fun with the flipper!

Ah, thank you very much.

Hmm, I do believe my crushers should get through to his back wheels, or at the very least do some damage. Im no expert on this so its pretty much writers discretion :P

I would also like to mention that his backside should fit very nicely in my plow, despite his spinner, should he choose to come at me from that angle. My plow has taken worse damage from other spinners, so Im sure it would stand up to his.

Im a bit dismayed that I have forgotten what kind of motors to put on Flank Attack, but then its one of my older robots when I had a little less detail :P If Martijn would be so kind, I would like to make my own choice for motors. If not, however, the ones Andy chose would be fine, even if he did probably choose them specifically to have less torque than his ones :P

If Richard is against me as well it is imperative that I stay at the walls and keep myself well defended. Open the put as soon as possible then try for my aforementioned tactic against Andy. See if I can do any quick shoves for a quick pit, and just be generally more careful than usual. Keep my claws always at the front, and try not to give any chances.

Awesome battle Martijn. I remember now that it was the Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament where Achilles and GeForce battled last...I think. Anyway w00t for another heat done. :proud:

Heat C
Flank Attack: DT (5) vs SOR 5.5 vs Snakebite IV

I can see the 5th seed losing its head - wheels. :proud:

Tempest Evil-er-oution vs Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs Star 69

Ah, Tempests previous incarnation, the bouncy one. :proud: Personally, Id say the hedgehog is gone, sorry Steve.

HEAT C
Flank Attack: DT (5) vs SOR 5.5 vs Snakebite IV - Sorry Richard, but I think youre going.

Tempest Evil-er-oution vs Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs Star 69 - This heat is NOT for Steven

Alex there are a couple of floors in your plan! First of all, try to attack SORs back end at your peril, and eat a spinning bar. Secondly, there is no way a pneumatic crusher is going to bend 4mm Hardox, whether its 3 tonnes of force or not. Thirdly, stay at the walls all you like, its just asking for an OOTA! :proud:

oh no a spinner bar, not like my plow hasnt taken worse.
