I agree.
:P
Though thered be at least one set of tactics by now. :lame: Ill try and get the first battle up tonight if I can.
He doesnt look like he can wedge very well when inverted, so my tactics are as follows:
Get under him and flip him, then just leave him inverted and go to work with the flywheel/pushing him around. See what I can do with him from there.
Should I make it that far, I believe Ill be seeing Alex in the heat final.
Dammit...Internet Explorer sucks. I had most of the fight written and Explorer gets an error and decides to close on me.
Thankfully I have just enough wits to recollect my thoughts, otherwise Id be spamming swear words and the forum which would result in me being banned pretty quick.
Im going to type these fights in Word first, then copy them to the FRA Forum window now. Ive done this before but I thought it was more convenient to write the fights in these boxes. Guess not now. :lame:
Sorry about this, will probably get the next fight up tomorrow. :sad:
I give ye...two fights! :proud:

ACTIVATE!
IDSFA out at Cacodemon almost before the activate, quite eager to finish him off early but Cacodemon is no sloucher either! Alexs bot heads in IDSFAs direction and both bastians meet with a CLANG in the center of the arena! Neither seems able to get underneath the other and so IDSFA reverses to try again. Cacodemon is a bit too eager and hurries into IDSFAs wedge again, and again they are forced into a stalemate! Suddenly IDSFA shows its power by slowly pushing the low wedge backwards, and Cacodemon spins away to try and attack IDSFAs skirts, and succeeds! IDSFA however rolls backwards and away before Cacodemon can fully drive his titanium wedge under and retaliates with a shove to Cacodemons own side. No luck, and Cacodemon takes a right turn, straight into IDSFAs other side but that defeats him, and now IDSFAs turning at Cacodemons wedge and again shoves him backwards, and right into the arena wall, holding him there. The Watcher rolls in and shunts the two causing Franks nippy wedge to release Cacodemon and now the demon comes back at IDSFA! IDSFA again comes forward, but Cacodemon makes a slight turn to the side, and again gets under the skirting! IDSFA tries to roll away again but it seems futile, and now Cacodemon is heading towards DBMs CPZ!
CRASH!!!
DBM rips into IDSFAs right side, severely scarring the 4mm titanium and sending IDSFA right into the arena side wall nearby! Tira races out of her CPZ but Cacodemon has blocked her route to the imperiled IDSFA. Thats not bloody nice of you, Cacodemon! Denying a house robot her fun? And what do you think Tira will do about this? :proud:
CRASH!
Tira smashes Cacodemons rear end and Cacodemon is flung away from the wall, yet no damage is evident, so Cacodemon is quite lucky! DBM has stopped spinning and is pushing IDSFA against the wall...he seems to be stuck to the wall as one of the hammers is wedged in between IDSFA and the wall...Tira shunts IDSFA further into DBM, and they are REALLY stuck now. Cacodemon isnt going to be left out of this and so tackles Tira while the spinning ring is immobile. Now, Alex, youre supposed to be killing your opponent, not the house robots, and theyre especially hard to kill - ah, thats better, IDSFA is now away from DBM, finally. Cacodemon...has wedged Tira against the wall...and is not moving! Perhaps he is taking a look up her skirt - oh I say, how naughty of you, Cacodemon! :proud: IDSFA and The Watcher both come at the same time, IDSFA getting at Cacodemons rear end and The Watcher slamming into the side. IDSFA is now underneath Cacodemon! Can he flip him over with Tira on top? If he does hell have an enormous advantage! Up goes the flipper - ohhhh...it just wasnt enough...Cacodemon is shunted away but Tira remains on top of the wedge! IDSFA attacks again to attack Cacodemon: again the flipper is under Cacodemon! This is majorly impressive stuff from IDSDA - AND HES OVER! Cacodemon has been flipped! And so has Tira! And here comes DBM, the hammers now working and spinning over towards IDSFA! Get out of there, Frank, while you still can! Cacodemon is now moving across the floor again and decided to tackle the pit release button! The pit descends as a result, and IDSFA is away from DBM and now after Cacodemon with a huge advantage! But hes not the only one! Tira will not allow Cacodemon to wedge underneath her and get away with it, and - OH! IDSFA slides into Tiras path! No big crash, as he headed into her spinning direction, and over she goes onto the wedge! Cacodemon stops and backs up, reverse-slamming IDSFA in the side but the skirt is there and it halts the charge from Alexs inverted wedge! BZZT! Oh, Cacodemon has been sent flying by the arena saws, and hes right side up again! Tira is flipped now by IDSFA, and DBM is coming at him again to avenge her - you cant have your cake and eat it too, boys! :proud: Apparently all order is gone, and IDSFA is after Cacodemon again, avoiding the hammers of DBM and smacks into Cacodemons front! Another stalemate, but its Cacodemon who pushes IDSFA backwards this time...RIGHT INTO DBMS HAMMERS!
CRASH!!!
OHHHH!!! The previously damaged side is bent and buckled further! ...and I think that IDSFAs drivetrain has been damaged by that blow!
10...9...8...7...
The Watcher is coming over to count out IDSFA but far too late, and Cacodemon shunts IDSFA in the side again, but is still defeated by that skirt!
6...5...4...
IDSFA cuts an arc across the arena, narrowly missing The Watcher, whos started to count him out!
3...2...1...
Cacodemon slams into IDSFA once more at the rear and gets under, pushing him towards the arena wall and into it.
CEASE!
Great fun! Lets see how this fight goes with the judges...

Alexs tactics: spin into it til it breaks
Tengu VII vs. Star 69
Tengu VII sent out Storm II after tying for first place in a judges decision with IDSFA.
Star 69 ripped apart Wedga Revo 2.0 and then went after Refbot, as a rather startled Cacodemon advanced with him.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Tengu VII
Booth 2: Star 69
In the arena for the house bots, Tira-san makes a return visit and pairing her is the other female housie, Taki-san.

ACTIVATE!!
Both machines are spinning, and Star 69 is on the move, crashing into Tengu already! Tengus blades are stopped but the blow from Star 69 does not do any damage whatsoever to the anti-spinning ring of Tengu, thats good control, but this DOES allow Star 69 to push Tengu around! Tengu cant move away and is now being shoved around, and right into an angle grinder! Ooh...the anti-spinning ring takes the hit harshly being held in place by Star 69, but Tengu seems to be okay. The Watcher comes in as Star 69 tries to hold onto Tengu for as long as it can, but the referee wont let Star 69 hold on for long! A crash is heard as The Watcher shunts Star 69 but Martyns spinner is holding onto Tengu and The Watcher starts to push Star 69 away, and Tengu is free now, and spinning at dangerous speeds! Star 69 is away from The Watcher, very nearly getting shoved into a CPZ! And now hes spinning up but Tengu is right at him immediately!
CRASH!!!
Both weapons meet, and its Star 69 who is the worse off here! One of the five points of the seemingly fading star is slashed brutally, and sent flying! Tengu has also been flung but at a lesser distance, and tips back onto her wheels, and is back and spinning up...greeted by a charge from Star 69, who has come back for more!
CRASH!!!
Again the two spinners are thrown, and Tengu taking the better of the collisions, and getting back up to speed with her blades. Star 69 doesnt seem to be TOO too damaged, only two of the points on the star have been gashed and hes again recovered from that blow, hurtling towards the whirling dervish that is Tengu and back at full speed!
CRASH!!!
What a mighty collision! Sparks fly, robots must have died, but they didnt! Star 69 is flung away but Tengu is only sent back a few inches! And Tengu is now spinning again and coming at a weakening Star 69 who is not spinning, another point on the star damaged!
CRASH!
Tengu smashes into Star 69s chassis, actually getting at the inner circle this time, and its been torn! Same armour as IDSFA in the previous fight and its been tattered already! Star 69 is against the wall now and Tengu slams into him without spinning up the blades, possibly having a closer look. Star 69s wheels are moving so thats all right, but not for long! Tengu releases Star 69 from the wall, and Star 69 turns, nicking the angle grinder on the way out, and spinning up again! Is it just me...or is Tengu spinning more slowly than usua - ah, mistake, mistake, the blades are at full speed. :proud: Star 69 is the one whos spinning slowly, though! The shell is rotating, but...not fast as it should be, and Tengu takes advantage!
CRASH!!!
Star 69 is again flung, straight across the arena, and collides with the arena wall, one of the previously damaged points now removed of its blades! Tengu is hardly harmed at all, really looking bloody brilliant this match! Can Star 69 recover from this brutal onslaught? Tengu comes in, tackling Star 69 and pushing it against the wall! Star 69 cant seem to push her back, is it having control problems? Tengu releases the fellow spinner, and Star 69 slowly gets off the wall, not spinning at all. This is bad news as Tengu is back up to full speed and crashing into Star 69 once more!
CRASH!!!
What a mighty hit! Star 69 is flung, almost along the wall, right into Taki-sans CPZ, armour miserable-looking! Taki lifts up Star 69 as Tengu again gets her bearings and her deadly spin-up back, and...and...FLIP! Star 69 is inverted. Of course that really doesnt matter, Star 69 can run both ways up...or does it? Star 69...is it immobilized? I think so! They are not moving! Tengu strolls in!
CRASH!!!
More armour removed! Star 69 is losing it all here, armour, weapons, drive, and hope of reaching the heat final! Tira is coming for you, Star 69! And Tengu gets the message and backs into the pit release button...yeah, yall know what that does now. :proud:
CRASH!!!
Tira meanwhile has attacked the immobile Star 69 and more sparks, this time green and purple thanks to a gimmick installed in our house bot. :proud: Star 69 still isnt moving, and The Watcher thinks its time to let them off the hook!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
CEASE!
Star 69s ringtone is dead, as is Star 69 itself. :proud:
Tengu VII advances to the Heat F Final!
Heat F Final
Tengu VII vs. Cacodemon
Amazing, IDSFA has been brought to its knees by the MacWilliam cabin :proud:
But I kind of predicted that last fight :wink:
This final fight seems a little one sided - a robot with great weapon, drive and battle record
up against Tengu :proud:
*seriously though, this is a one way fght to the semis for Alex Holt and Tengu - MacWilliams has done very well so far, but itll get no further*
I do have Alex Holts tactics, so if Alex MacWilliams gets his tactics up by tomorrow he wont miss the fight! :wink:
Yeah, thats right. Im going to start writing these more quickly now, if I get the chance.
So hurry in with those tactics, Mr. MacWillams!
oh well. Cacodemon has basically been the underdog for this entire heat (seriously, out of all the competitors, I dont think anyone would have expected me to get to the finals XD)
Anway, this is going to be tough but I need to get his spinner stopped as quickly as possible. Since Tengu VII has some pretty small teeth, and I have an extremely low wedge, I can safely say that there most likely wont be any really big hits. As long as I keep my very front of the wedge facing him, he shouldnt be able to rip it off.
Anyway, I just need to get under him and slam him into walls. Each slam is a time that his spinner is slowed down and as such not able to do as much damage. I forget if theres a pit in this tournament :P but if there is then take him to it as quick as possible.
tl;dr just use my drive and low profile to try and get all over him. Never let him out of my sight and be aggressive as all hell.
Actually, tengu has some pretty large teeth in the standard setup - 15cm, which means although I wont get any particularly awesome hits on the front I should get some decent ones and the sides should also be ripe for shredding. However, I already dicussed my full tactics with Kody so no point reeming them otu again.
heh, Im just going by what I remember in the picture where they seemed pretty small. Its not really a pivotal point of my plan, so yeah whatever.
