Robot SMASH!!

Special Event- Featherweight Heat 4/4:
Micro-Gore v Katnip

Micro-Gore is designed and entered by Kody Kunz, who has already proved his worth in the other weights by trashing Killoteeny with Solstice 2.0. This the robots first fight, and Kodys first featherweight fight!

Katnip is built by Team Kat and entered here by Daniel Stickler. Its much like its opponent here, but horizontal instead of vertical.

Booth 1: Kody Kunz
Booth 2: Daniel Stickler

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Micro-Gore comes on the attack first, getting underneath Daniel and ramming him into the angle grinder! As Kody presses down (and up) on Katnips armour, sparks fly from one of the rear wheels! But Katnip has more pressing problems, as Kody crushes the armour and begins to pull Daniel towards the pit release tyre!
The pit goes down and Kody approaches it, holding the struggling bot in its claw! Daniel uses his own claws, but to no avail as Kody holds Katnip so that its wheels are suspended in mid-air, over the pit of oblivion!
PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT
The crowd want it, Kody wants it, WE want it, the only person who doesnt want it is Daniel Stickler at the controls!

A PUFF OF SMOKE BRINGS THE MATCH TO AN END!

Kody releases Katnip and goes on to the featherweight semi-finals!

Coming Next:
Pure Evil: ROTD v ISDSFA

YEAH! w00t! And to think I wanted to build Micro-Gore...I still do, and I still could, but my current project comes first. :proud:

Heat Semi-Final 7/16:
Pure Evil: ROTD v ISDSFA

Pure Evil defeated hot favourite Another Night at the Bar in its eliminator, can Daniel do the same to Frank here?

ISDSFA flipped and immobilised 259 in the first round, now Frank wants a place in what could be his first heat final of the series.

Booth 1: Daniel Stickler
Booth 2: Frank Goacher

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Both bots spin up their weapons and head into the arena, Frank looks ponderous for a moment then tries to get around and flip Pure Evil! He only gets the edge of his scoop under though, and Daniel is merely lifted into the air before he comes crashing down. Daniel then slides his own flipper under ISDSFA and turns it over! But Frank is quick to self-right and comes back on the attack, this time succeeding in tipping Pure Evil onto its side! Daniel fires the flipper and it falls onto its back, where Frank pushes it into the angle grinder! He reverses for a moment and Daniel tries to self-right, but ISDSFA comes in and presses down with the scoop, keeping Daniel on his back and at the mercy of the disc! Frank then gets underneath Pure Evil and lifts it to jam it up against the wall! Daniel worries as Pure Evil wobbles precariously on the rails before crashing out of the contest!

THE CAMERA TRACKS MUST BE IN PAIN!

ISDSFA flips Pure Evil: ROTD OOTA and proceeds to the heat final, meanwhile...

Heat Semi-Final 8/16:
The Quaestor v Killobite 5.0

The Quaestor is a powerful axe robot that dealt with Coinst in its eliminator. Can Joey prevail over Killobite here?

Killobite is a claw and forks design, a winning formula as proved by Nidhogg, the winner of Heat C.

Booth 1: Joey McConnell
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

The Quaestor seems rather wary at the beginning of this match, while Kody looks to be in an aggressive mood and comes storming across the arena to attack! The Quaestor tries to get around the side of Killobite 5.0, but Kody turns and gets his forks under, lifting Joey into the air! He then gets the crusher in on top and carries The Quaestor over to the pit release tyre! The siren wails loudly, like a banshee awaiting a corpse! And thats exactly what Kody has in mind... He cradles The Quaestor- which shouts threats in latin- and carries it over to the pit of oblivion! Hes on the edge, and going down!
PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT
Kody lowers it down, and the match is over!

THE CROWD ROARS!

Killobite goes on to meet ISDSFA in the heat final!

*drowns his sorrows in ye olde roman wine* ...good fightsh, Kody and Liam. :proud:

Middleweight Heat 4/4:
Steel Sandwich v Doorstop

Steel Sandwich is powerful for a middleweight, it can shove most of its contenders around and hopefully do some damage.

Doorstop is another middleweight taken from a clusterbot seen earlier in the tournament- Its one half of Doorstops, which was beaten in the semi-finals of Heat C by Nidhogg, which went on to take the heat.

Booth 1: Paul Cuomo
Booth 2: Frank Goacher

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Both bots get an aggressive start, with Doorstop making the best move turning around to the side and pushing Steel Sandwich into the angle grinder! It seems that no real damage has been caused, and Steel Sandwich now pushes Doorstop onto the floor flipper, which activates for the first time in Robot SMASH!! !
CRASH!
Doorstop flies through the air and bounces along the arena floor, almost going OOTA but landing propped up on the opposite wall! It cant move, so Steel Sandwich presses the pit release tyre and pushes Doorstop down! Paul tries to push it from the side, but Frank is too fast and gets in first to push Paul towards the pit!
The crowd seem to want this badly, and Frank gives it to them!

STEEL SANDWICH IS IN THE PIT!

Doorstop goes through to the middleweight semi-finals!

The other-weight semi-final draws have been done!

Mondo tactics and predictions time! Dont post fights too early Liam! :proud:

Featherweight Semi-Finals

Skink vs. Pillow Torque

Skink, I think, can prevail here.

T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L. vs. Micro-Gore

Use the lower claw to slip underneath the skirts and grip on, high-centering him so he cant move or get any traction, then get him into the pit! Due to the axlebot shape hell have a hard time pushing me around. :proud:

Middleweight Semi-finals

Life vs. Doorstop

Life FTW :proud:

T-Minus vs. Solstice 2.0

Haha, how awesome. The flipper arm will be completely blocked by Solstices middle bulge, so it wont be a severe flip and Solstice can recover easily. Basically target the flipping arm itself and try to rip it off, then main on the rest of the robot.

Heat D Final

ISDSFA vs. Killobite 5.0

Go straight for the front with the forks driven into the ground (with just enough pressure to slide under the scoop but not so much that I cant move): scoop or disc, ISDSFAs not going to do that much to my chassis. Crunch into the scoop, lift it off the ground, and pit the damn thing. Right myself if I get flipped, the usual.

Best of luck Frank.

TACTICS:
LIFE vs. Door Stop
Ill go for the old Foxtrot Omicron Oven Tails Adrianmole approach :P

Micro Gore sounds like a smaller Jawbreaker from its stats. Its a slow bugger too at only 7mph, so TREDTHAL will aim to get around the back (the non-pointy part) and try to clamp it with the axe. If I can get a good grip, dump it in the pit. If I cant, dump it in the pit. :wink:

Heat D Final
ISDSFA v Killobite 5.0

Lets flashback and see how these two got this far...
1) ISDSFA flipped 259 in the eliminator round for a quick and easy win.
2) Killobite had a much tougher draw against E Clawdius Unum, which was pitted.
3) ISDSFA scored another OOTA by toppling Pure Evil.
4) While Killobite score another pit with The Quaestor.

Booth 1: Frank Goacher
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Both bots move away from their starting positions, Killobite looks menacing and ISDSFA looks devilish! ISDSFA tries to attack, but Kody digs his forks into the ground and gets underneath! He comes in with the crusher, but ISDSFA lifts up its scoop to attack with the disc! Theres nothing for Kody to hold, so he withdraws the crusher and instead flips ISDSFA onto its back! Frank quickly uses his srimech and comes on a side attack, throwing Killobite 5.0 over! Frank continues the attack, pressing down on top with his scoop and getting in with that disc! Damage is minimal, but Killobite isnt in a great position and Frank slams Kody into the CPZ! Killobite is righted by the spike just as Frank stops pressing down with his scoop, but lands propped up on the wall! Theres nothing Kody can do, and Frank comes in for the kill!

ANOTHER HEAT COMES TO A CLOSE!

Frank Goacher takes ISDSFA through to the series finals, Killobite is bitten and doesnt live to fight another day!

Coming Next: The First Eliminator of Heat E
No Objections v Bar-Red

Very impressive fights Liam. Now onto another battle.

Bar-Red vs. No Objections: With the score currently at 3-0 to Joey, I believe it may becoe 4-0 :sad: But I have a plan to give me a chance - his spinning ring is 12mm Hardox, putting any ability to breaking the ring impossible, and it has shock-proofing, putting out any plan to shock-kill it, but in order to spin he has to spin ON THE SPOT! I dont have to spin on the spot, as my bar can spin up and allow me to move at the same time. I should be able to spin-up easily and the reach of my bar is 90cm, 20cm longer than the body of my robot (70cm) So I can prevent him hitting me and cause some nasty scars. If he starts to spin, go for the pit release button and then try to bash him down the pit.

Good luck Joey - again! :proud:
