That joke might have worked if it had any relevance, but seeing you just pulled it out of your arse...
Ccan i swap Squish for the new version called Squishiest? Stats below.
Name: Squishiest
Weight: 100kg
Armour: 4mm Grade 5 Titanium
Speed: 20mph
Shape: Low wedge
Weapon 1: A very powerful hydraulic crusher, with 14 tonnes of pressure at the tip.
Strengths: Very powerful crusher and strong armour. Good pushing power and good speed.
Weaknesses: Slow srimech.
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to wrinkler device. 5mm at sides and 1cm at back.
Srimech: It uses a set of Razer style wings.
Notes: The robot is powered by 2 LEM130 Lynch motors running at 36v, giving 20mph top speed and pushing power equivalent to 18HP. The robot has 6 inner Vulcalore wheels, which give tremendous traction. The crusher itself is made from 4mm Hardox, with 300 weight reducing holes. It is powered by an M-Mac M40 Hydraulic Actuator running at 12v, which can give 14 tonnes of pressure. The actuator has already been used in Robotic Combat, so this robot is realistic. The tip of the crusher is coated in carbon, so it can rip through Titanium easily. For the weapon to function properly, the robot contains 12 x 9.6-volt NiMh Radio Controlled Car Batteries, each weighing 12oz.
Danny, your actuator needs at least 115 Volts to be powered (From http://www.mmacactuators.com/techspecs.htmlhttp://www.mmacactuators.com/techspecs.html) and depending on whatever rules Martyn is using, the common Fra rules says either 36 or 60 volts max depending on whichever verison people read.
Just suggesting it

Try and take otu vulnerable parts of the machines. Please try to write without the track hatred that everyone round here seems to have.
The Usually wrong Predictions :proud:
Based on stats and not ability to RP...
...soz, wrong area:proud:
Heat A - Vampire Killer
Heat B - I would say Alexs spinner but that will prob kill itself, so Mega-Verter
Heat C - Firestorm 5
Heat D - X-Terminator
Heat E - Storm 2, still the best rammer.
Heat F - Battle Raptor 3
Heat G - Killy Evo (WTF is Roadblock doing in there)
Heat H - Automatic Schumuck... Really Probabily the ulimate robot, One of the favourites.
Heat I - Either 4 Swords or Juggerbee Pi
Heat J - Shovearound 2 or Terror Gear 2
Heat K - 2nd melee will be hard to write, but it will either be Monsoon or Force Power.
Heat L - If its the 2nd Glasgow Kiss than it will win, but IIRC the 2nd generation is for Arca only, so it will be MORD 2
Heat M - Heat of Death - Biohazard or Whirligig, nothing can get underneath Biohazard, even Razer.
Heat N - GeForce Evo because of that Flipper
Heat O - Son of Ripper or Ze Newie, nothing else comes close to these two.
Heat P - Stratos-Fear, that flipper is still strong, and if its the revised Arca verison, than it will be another favourite. If not, Novastorm. Wedge Devo to crash out round 1.
Tactics!!! :):)
Heat B
Archangel of the abyss (3) V tails V Supreme Glory Gamma: Here I will gang up with Tails and try to stop AOTA spinning up. If this occurs, I will try and get underneath AOTA, clamp down with the axe and pit it. Failing this, Ill attack Tails instead. :)
Heat C
Squishiest(21) V drilla killa 7 V hurricane hugo: This time, Ill go after drilla killa, and use it as a shield to protect myself from hurricane hugos attacks.
Heat D
GigaByte V1.5 (7) VS Ripper VS X-Terminator: Ill stick to attacking the sides of Gigabyte and Ripper, and AVOID RIPPERS FLIPPER AT ALL COSTS!
Heat E
Dervish \// (25) VS Hefty Kick in the Balls! VS Flipping Hell: Ill concentrate all my attacks on Flipping Hell.
Heat F
Battle Raptor 3 (27) VS Dallas D Squared VS Psychlonic: Ill go after Battle Raptor in this one, Psychlonic looks a bit too nasty to go after in round 1.
Heat H
Baldur Gamma VS Leprosy Infection VS Wheely Pure Evil 2 (15): Go after Leprosy Infection.
Heat K
a.k.a. I-D-I-O-T VS ForcePower Turbo (12) VS Manic Monsoon: The melee from Hell-ay! :sad: Ill just drive around slamming into things.
Heat L
Glasgow Kiss VS M.O.R.D. 2 (10) VS Sonic Boom: Ill go after Glasgow Kiss and try to loosen something inside.
QUOTE
Nothing can get underneath Biohazard, even Razer DaveO.
*Points DaveO in the direction of Voltarc*
Ill get the stats for AT LEAST DCRI and CF2.5 up ASAP.
But Voltarc isnt entered.
Yeah, but it still can get underneath.
Anyways, here are some more stats.
DIE-CERATOPS RE-INVERTUS
Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape: Wheely Big Cheese
Speed; 15mph
TC; 0
GC; 0mm at front, 3mm at sides and back.
Wheels; 2 inner, sticking out only slightly,
Armour; 8mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by a couple of Magmotors
Colour; Green, with Killer Carrot style wrinkles, mouth and eyes. One of the eyes has a plaster over it, the other is a black eye. A few bandages are painted on this time.
Weapons: A huge Wheely Big Cheese style flipper, capable of flipping a tonne or so.
Srimech; As the name suggests, the robot runs inverted. Bars prevent side strandings, and the back is rounded, so stranding THAT way is outta the question. The flipper works upside down.
Inspiration; Ive always liked Dinosaurs. This is a pun of Triceratops. The Invertus part is pretty obvious.
Strengths; The ability to work upside down and still be able to use its weapon, now easier to control.
Weaknessess: Cant find any.
CYCLONE FORCE 2.5
Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape; Storm 2
Speed; 25mph
TC; 0
GC; Side is 0mm due to skirts. Back is 2mm. See set-ups for front GC
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 7mm Titanium.
Power; Similar stuff to what Storm 2 uses.
Colour; A blue-ish grey tone all over.
Weapons; The robot has 5 set-ups, 2 brand new...
SET UP 1...A lifter device, similar to Storm 2. In theory, it can lift 190 kilos. The front makes a wedge and results in a 0mm GC. However, the wedge is useless upside down.
SET-UP 2...A pair of Kan Opener style claws, with about 4 tonnes of pressure at the tip. Front GC for this and Set-up 3 is 1mm.
SET-UP 3...A Disc-O-Inferno style disc, reaching speeds of up to 3000rpm and with similar damage capability to this dangerous bot (I mean, look what it did to Panic Attack).
SET-UP 4...Two 30cm long spikes, which, combined with the speed of the robot, can easily penetrate weaker armours (Id say anything 4mm thick or less, minus Steel, is in a bit of trouble).
SET-UP 5...The most risky approach, A simple bucket scoop, like X-Terminator. The scoop is static, but can get underneath virtually zero ground clearance. Its front is 0mm.
Srimech; The robot runs inverted, the sides are protected by the skirts and back stranding is impossible. Set-ups 2, 3 and 4 work upside down.
Inspiration; The original Cyclone was named because it is the name of a storm and it sounds threatening. The force came later, after it became a pusher.
Strengths;Raw power
Weaknessess;Lack of control, Set-ups 1 and 5 do not work upside-down.
And with Chris first stats up, it means we can actually begin! :proud:
HEAT A
ROUND 1
1) Flaming Hell VS Pussycat (17) VS Vampire Killer
Cant get VKs stats due to the FAR Forum being temporarily down, but I think it and Dave W could make light work of the No.17 seed
2) Anarchy VS Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS S.D. IV (1)
This is actually a great draw for me. Not only should the saw be able to slide under either bot but I can shove them all over the ring to my hearts content otherwise! Go for whoevers nearest, slice and Pit. :proud:
I have been thinking, isnt it a tad unfair for people to see who they are fighting before posting their stats, and see that their is a weakness of the robot in the melee and fits it before posting the stats. Ie, skirts, better drive etc.
Ingore my random words of non-wisdow if you want, but bear it in mind when allowing people to post stats after draw.
Not really...I dont look at the other persons stats if I havent got mine up, if at all. Even if I know the robot well, I just make normal changes.
After all, I designed Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus with nothing going for either/or competitor.
BTW Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus will consentrate most/all attacks on Anarchy. Unsure whether its axe can right it.
A slight change in its stats...
WEAKNESSESS: Tengu VI
Funny, yes?
I believe Bios skirts are weak at the corners. i also think Vlad has breached them before. I know Vlads beaten Bio in the past, but cant remember if it was pre or post skirt.
in season 1 when bio had the skirts a belive vlad flipped it then
It copped a bit of a lift off the spike thing and Vlad nipped underneath, didnt it?
[Heat K - 2nd melee will be hard to write, but it will either be Monsoon or Force Power.]
So youve got a omnidirectional FBS that has enough energy to induce one-hit shock kills while not taking anything itself (theres a 20kg suspension system for a reason...) and its going to go out in the first round to two rammers? Interesting.
hello, just ducking in for a quick post.
quote:
in season 1 when bio had the skirts a belive vlad flipped it then
It was before season 1, and Vlad pushed Bio onto the arena saws, which flipped it. Bios skirts prevented it from self-righting.
Pussycat (17) V Flaming Hell V Vampire Killer
Ill give you my first tactics now so you can get on with the fights, and Ill post tactics and predictions for the rest of the heats later on.
Tactics: Concentrate on Vampire Killer, for the simple fact that it is pretty much all constructed of Titanium. Pussycats carbon blades should be able to eat this up nicely and possibly get to those wheels. Some nice swings down onto the wheels from the vertical position should work nicely too I hope.
Change in heats because tony had three robots in one heat
Heat G
Road Block (29) V mega masher 2 V Shovearound 2
Killotine Evo (13) V Heir to black panther 4 V Ringwraith
Heat J
Killertron (30) V hell€™s teeth V Salamander 3
Panic attack 3 (14) V Tenderiser€™s revenge 2 V terror gear 2
Heat K
Typhoon 2 (28) V Wreck-tangle 2 V spawn again
Force Power turbo (12) V Manic Monsoon V Aka IDIOT
that should be it sorted now
New tactics:
Road Block (29) V mega masher 2 V Shovearound 2
Oh, easy as hell. Just pit Roadblock. WAY outdated.
Panic attack 3 (14) V Tenderiser€™s revenge 2 V terror gear 2
Get under PAs side skirts and pit it. Hopefully the drum should chew up the skirts nicley or rip it up, making it easier to get under.
Typhoon 2 (28) V Wreck-tangle 2 V spawn again
Flip whoevers got a weaker weapon OOTA.
WRECK-TANGLE 2
Weight: 95 kilos
BS: Hard to describe. Its sort of like a box with a groove down most of the body.
Speed;20mph
TC:0m
GC;0mm due to skirts, 0mm at front anyway, 5mm underneath
Wheels: 6 outer
Armour: 7mm titanium
Power; Like I said, a couple of mag-motors
Colour: Black
Weapons: It has a front scoop, but this is static, so the robot can push. Along the back is a long arm that can self-right the robot. Attached to the underside of the bar is a nasty rectangular bar, spinning at 750rpm (sort of like the blade on a helicopter). This explains the robots weird shape.
Srimech: The arm acts as the srimech. The reason the bar is attached to the arm is so that others dont take advantage of it whilst it is upside down.
Strengths: Nasty Weapon
Weaknessess: Untested body design
JUGGERBEE 3.142
Alternative Name: Juggerbee Pi
Weight: 100 kilos
BS: Sort of like Tornado this year, an invertable box.
Speed: Ive gone for more control over speed this time. As a result, it now moves at 10mph
TC: 0m
GC: About 5mm
Wheels: 4 inner, like Tornado
Power: Identical to Tornado, 2x 750 watt Bosch motors
Armour: 3mm steel
Weapons: An old breed of weapon. On the back is a long harpoon (inactive), used to stab oppodents. On the front is a vertical saw reaching speeds of 3000rpm. Think Pussycat. Also has a secret weapon on the underbelly.
Srimech: The robot runs inverted. When flipped over, there is a message on the back which says Pi is exactly 3!!! THIS is the robots secret weapon.
Strengths: Power, invertable.
Weaknessess: Has a saw, and thus is the last of a dying race.
2 robots in the same heat I can understand...
...But how did 3 robots slip though the net?
Heat A
Pussycat (17) V Flaming Hell V Vampire Killer
Take out the No. 17 seed by ripping the wheels off, they are really vunerable to my cage, and the saw isnt much better, because the top of the robot can be knocked away and the saw smashed off ala Fluffy. Stats for Vampire Killer would be nice.
Heat B
Mega verter (19) V dominator 2 V Sheer Hell
Dominator 2 is my main target, because the armour isnt as tough as it looks, and 13 Black, on which SH is based, got through it easy, so Im gonna aim to smash up Dominator. Stats for Mega Verter would be nice
Heat E
Dervish \// (25) V flipping hell V Hefty kick in the balls
Shit. My arch rival and a V. nasty vert spinner. Whichever one I get under first, shove to the side wall and send it to Heaven before sending it to Hell
Heat G
Killertron vs Hell€™s teeth vs Salamander 3
Rip up the wheely bin lid with the disc, failing that, use the wedge to beech him
Heat L
Chaos 2 (26) V Dr. Evil V Hell Machine
Chaos 2 is vunerable to axes, and I designed HM to tackle the S3/4 champ to begin with, so that gas bottle is history. stats of Dr Evil would help
Heat N
Disc-o-inferno (6) V Cassius 2 V Jaws of hell
Cassius 2s armour is crap, my jaws will go through that no trouble, so hes my main target, but I will try and avoid DOI if I can help it
Heat O
All scoop and no stab make Steve a dull boy (4) V Dantomkia V Helliant
erm...Stats on AASANSMSADB please, my saws should make a mess of Dantomkia, butr not enough to immobilise it, so I will aim to go back to back with it and rip out the vunerable link
Heat P
Wedge Devolution (2) V All Hell V Nova Storm
Wedge Devo is my main target, just gonna clobber anything that comes near me
http://www.extremefightingmachines.co.uk/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=760&post=46786#POST46786http://www.extremefightingmachines.c...pc=760&post=46 786#POST46786
all scoop and no stab
NAME- MegaVerter
SHAPE- Convex curving (outwards curving) wedge.
COLOUR- Gold, with a silver flipper arm.
WEIGHT- Somewhere close to, but under, 200KG.
DIMENSIONS- 140cm X 80cm X 70cm
SPEED- 7mph
TURNING CIRCLE- About 10cm. Not overly drastic.
GROUND CLEARANCE- Definite 0 at front, due to variable-pitch wedge flipper arm scoop, 0 on sides and rear with torsion-spring held skirts.
ARMOUR- 1cm Ti/V alloy, with a 50 x 50 x 10mm steel box section frame.
LEGS- Inside robot, 8 legs in a similar running setup to Anarchy.
POWER- 2 B42-500 4€ MagMotors on 36V, producing a nice 45HP.
WEAPONS- Big, very, very powerful flipping arm. Powered by three 120mm bore, 250mm stroke custom hydraulic rams powered by 750psi pneumatics (full pressure pneumatics), it produces around 10000KG of force!!! That€™s akin to 20 Wheely Big Cheese flippers. The flipper arm is made of 12mm Ti/V alloy with steel box section framework, and lifts to a 90 degree angle, meaning the top goes to 2.1m in the air. The launching capabilities of this flipper are enormous, enough to throw 100KG around 30-35m into the air. 6 2KG CO2 bottles feed the rams, and it can get 15 flips a fight.
SRIMECH- The flipper arm has a 10cm x 10cm hole towards the top of the curve, from which a ram, similar to X-Terminator 2€™s SRIMECH, can extend to self-right it. The ram is powered by 150psi pneumatics, and has enough force to throw the robot back over, as I wouldn€™t dare try to use the flipper and put myself on Mars ;D
NOTES- Enough force to throw a lightweight high enough that it would take out low-flying aircraft. ;D
Scotts stats
NAME- Stratos-Fear
SHAPE- A sort of 4Wheel Drive Wheely Big Cheese.
COLOUR- Stealthy Black and Grey
WEIGHT- 100kg
DIMENSIONS- (L) With Flipper: 155cm, Without: 62cm (W) With flipper: 124cm, Without: 26cm each wheelpod. (H) 26cm
SPEED- 15mph, high acceleration
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- Dead zero at front, rising to about 1-2cm at rear.
ARMOUR- 4-7mm RSP-707 T6, Dave found this, it has the same density as aluminium but is almost as strong as titanium.
WHEELS- 4, 4wd
DRIVE- 2 24v LEM130€™s, geared for good speed and acceleration, powered by 3 x 24v 3Ah NiCad battlepacks.
WEAPON 1- 130cm pneumatic flipper. This thing is powered by THREE 420mm x 80mm full pressure rams, running off three nitrogen tanks, with one extra as a buffer. It has a travel of 115 degrees. This should comfortably launch another heavyweight far into the air, better than WBC due to the increased power and length of the flipper. 3000psi Nitrogen, or 1000psi CO2 powered.
SRIMECH - Axlebot, therefore it€™s invertible and can€™t be flipped.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- Could probably flip about a tonne, and launch a heavyweight far, far into the air. Possibly the first 4 wheeled axle bot? Due to the shock, can probably kill another heavyweight in one or two flips. Overflip is now redundant because the flipper flops over due to the hollow axle connecting the two drive boxes. The flipper rides the ground, and due to the speed and low, low angle can easily breach any skirts.
SUMMARY- Prepare to be launched into the stratos-fear!
STRENGTHS- THAT flipper, acceleration and speed.
WEAKNESSES- Armour is sacrificed a bit for extra power.
NAME- Glasgow Kiss
SHAPE- Weirdly shaped, see picture.
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 86cm x 87cm x 22cm
COLOUR- Groovy tie dye effect, dude! Like someone€™s been painting the sports centre€¦
WEIGHT- 100kg
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 1cm elsewhere.
ARMOUR- 5mm titanium. I can€™t weight check this, since Rhino doesn€™t like calculating the area of the body
WHEELS- 4, sellotape type
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s powered by 24v of 9Ah Nicads.
WEAPON 1- Double headed axe, powered by two pneumatic cylinders at 1000psi CO2 on a rack an pinion system
WEAPON 2-
SRIMECH - Of course, with the axe.
SKIRTS- None, due to curved sides.
NOTES- Each axe-head is different.
SUMMARY- A spiritual replacement of Axe Murderer.
STRENGTHS- That axe.
WEAKNESSES- Could be flipped by an agile flipper
NAME- We€™ll buy you a new one tomorrow, Mrs Brown
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 100cm x 66cm x 14cm
SHAPE- Invertible box type clusterbot
COLOUR- Unpainted aluminium
WEIGHT- ~100kg, 50kg for each
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 5mm elsewhere
ARMOUR- 10mm 2014A Aluminium
WHEELS- 4, sellotape
POWER- 2 x 24v LEM130s powered by NiCads
WEAPON 1- Linear Actuated lifting arm
WEAPON 2- Linear Actuated lifting arm
SRIMECH - Maybe with the lifters, invertible
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- Each can lift and push 200kg
SUMMARY- Wham, bam, thank you Ma€™am!
STRENGTHS- Teamwork, pushing power.
WEAKNESSES- Each is only half the weight of a heavyweight.
NAME- Lunch Box
SHAPE- Sortof sculpted wedge
COLOUR- Black and Flamey, since its so hot
WEIGHT- ~100 kg
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- Absolute 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0-5mm
ARMOUR- 5mm titanium
WHEELS- 4, inside
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s, driven by a worm gear reduction, then a chain, at 36v
WEAPON 1- Full Pressure front hinged flipper, powered by two big rams and two CO2 tanks. Going for the OOTAs baby, yeah
WEAPON 2- Secondary rear scoop
SRIMECH - But of course :wink:
SKIRTS- None, for manoeuvrability
NOTES- Inspired by Launch Pad, in both name and weapon depts.
SUMMARY- A mobile launching pad, going for OOTAs, front hinged style
STRENGTHS- Strong flipper, backed up by decent drive.
WEAKNESSES- Short fights are probable.
NAME- Hefty Kick in the Balls!
SHAPE- Reminds of Cerberus in S3 or 4, I think. Tapered rear with front scoops.
COLOUR- Grey, with Scottish flag scoops.
WEIGHT- 100kg
LENGTH- (L) 78 cm without disc, 151cm including skirts and wheel pods, (W) 105cm without, (H) 23cm without disc, 76cm with disc.
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front and skirts, 1cm everywhere else.
ARMOUR- 5mm titanium, 12mm titanium front
WHEELS- 2, interior wheels.
DRIVE- 2 x 36v Mag S28-400s
POWER- 4 x 36v Battlepacks
WEAPON 1- 75cm vertical disc, powered by two LEM130s at 36v, which spins at 2000rpm. Instant spin-up time.
WEAPON 2- Like you€™ll get past the first.
SRIMECH - None, though my driving, the skirts and the will ensure it doesn€™t get flipped. Actually it could possibly do an IG-88 due to the speed of the disc and the short length of the body.
SKIRTS- Side skirts, hinged.
NOTES- Should easily destroy a lot of bots and the scoops can both aid get under a lot of flippers and fend off other robots€™ weapons
SUMMARY- Destructive, indiscreet and designed to give the other bot a hefty kick in the balls!
STRENGTHS- Weapon, stylishness, and scoops
WEAKNESSES- Armour kinda sacrificed for extra weapon power.

Spawn again
now that is sorted also not to dave.w i wrote your fight for heat a before i saw your tactics
Hence the reason why for a decent gap between the draw and the first fights, to allow all the slow people to post tactics.
nuts Oh well, Ill have to wait and see how that turned out
Well its time for another series of Martyn€™s robot wars and today sees the first 6 robots of the series battling it out for the first place in the series semi finals.
Pussycat (17) entered by Aj is back for a 5th crack at the title, once again it€™s the sorta box with triangle on top shape, and it has the twin discs as well, part of its blade is carbon coated so it can easily rip into titanium armour. However pussycat has high ground clearance and doesn€™t have great pushing power
In series 1 it lost in round 2 to eventual runner up disc-o-inferno
In series 2 it got to the semi finals defeating 4th seed ReSpun along the way, but lost its round 4 match to panic attack (13) and then lost in the losers melee to disc-o-inferno and the nutcracker
In series 3 seeded 10 it reached the heat final but lost out super spin dash
In series 4 it went out in round 1
Flaming hell entered by Dave. W is a circle bot with a bit on top to hold its powerful SoW style cage spinner which has €˜bot openers€™ to smack into the opponents, it has small actuators to selfright on the cage, however its hard to control where the robot will go after smacking into an opponent.
Vampire Killer entered by tony, it€™s an invertible box, with two powerful front spinning discs one on top of the other, it has 4 spikes on each side and a rear scoop. The robot is very destructive but its armour is poor.
Pussycat (17) V Flaming hell V vampire killer
House robots: Dead Metal and Cassius Chrome
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
All three robots start to spin up their own spinners. Pussycat charges in at the side of vampire killer, smacking the blade onto one of the titanium spikes ripping it off. Flaming hell charges at vampire killers front causing both robots to fly away. Vampire killer goes after pussycat smacking into the front and pushing the 17th seed into the corner with dead metal. Dead metal grabs the cat and lowers the saw into it. Dead metal lets go of pussycat who smacks into the arena disc activate button. Vampire killer smacks into the rear of pussycat leaving its mark with a rip in the rear of the cat. Flaming hell charges over smacking in to the two robots causing all three to go flying. Pussycat is the first to recover and smacks into the side of vampire killer the blade ripping into the lexan armour. Flaming hell smacks into the front discs of vampire killer, flaming hell bounces back as the top disc on vampire killer grinds to a halt. Pussycat backs off the side of the newcomer only to charge in again and smacking into another spike easily bending it down. Flaming hell activates the pit release thingy, but is rammed into the arena by the scoop of vampire killer. Pussycat smacks into the side of vampire killer ripping into the lexan armour. Flaming hell moves into the centre of the arena to spin up again as vampire killer pushes pussycat towards the pit, but the 17th seed wont be put down that easily and escapes. Flaming hell comes over and smacks into the side of vampire killer knocking it into Cassius chrome€™s cpz. The shimmy bot starts firing its spikes rather pointlessly on the newcomer. Meanwhile flaming hell is chasing pussycat and clips the rear wheel sending the cat sideways and onto its side, pussycat quickly gets back on its wheels quickly. Vampire Killer escapes the cpz, but pussycat is there to smack into the side of the spinner bot. Flaming hell not wanting to miss out on the action comes in and smacks into vampire killer sending it spinning away. Pussycat smacks on the top of vampire killer who tries to escape but cant. Pussycat backs off but vampire killer isn€™t moving any more. Refbot comes over and nudges the mrws newcomer but it still doesn€™t move, refbot raises his hand and starts to count out vampire killer 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10. Dead metal comes over and grabs vampire killer and drops it down the pit.
Vampire Killer, killed off quickly.
Pussycat (17) and Flaming Hell go through to round 2.
In the pits its is found that pussycat chopped through Vampire Killer€™s aerial causing it not to respond.
Fight 2
SD IV (1) V Anarchy V Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus
SD IV (1) entered by Steven it€™s shaped rather much like tornado except the rear goes to a fine point, on the front is a pussycat style saw €˜sept its larger and horizontal. The scoops from last year are gone. Its tornado like pushing power and powerful weapon took it to the gold medal last year.
In Series 1 it lost out in round 2 to under force
In series 3 it reached the series semi finals taking out chaos 2 and pussycat
In series 4 it won the tournament beating out Battle raptor 3, Frost byte (3), NSBFR, series 3 champion spinny thing recharged and the crashing bore to become champion of the 4th wars
Anarchy is a walking box with front scoop and rear flipper, it also has an axe which smacks down onto the robots in the scoop.
In series 1 it lost out in round 1 to under force
In series 2 it lost in the heat final to force power
Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus entered by chris is basically a wheely big cheese clone with inner wheels, this means it has a powerful flipper and runs inverted.
SD IV (1) V Anarchy V Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus
House robots: Shunt and Matilda
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
All three robots head into the centre of the arena, anarchy looking a bit ponderous walks over to Die-ceratops but the newcomer slips under the front of anarchy and flips sending anarchy up into the air and onto its head, can anarchy self right, the veteran fires its axe it just tips anarchy back onto its legs, SD IV charges at the rear of anarchy but it goes up the flipper, anarchy fires the flipper and sends the reigning champion over but back onto its wheels. SD IV charges at the pit release thingy, the siren sounds. Die-ceratops slips under anarchy€™s front scoop, the veteran fires its axe but it doesn€™t reach the newcomer who flips sending the walking box over. Anarchy twitches but neither weapon seams able to right the robot. SD IV charges in and pits anarchy,
Cease
Anarchy didn€™t cause to much chaos and falls at the first hurdle
SD IV (1) and Die-ceratops re-invertus.
Before round 2 its time for a special event and it€™s the first round of our all stars tournament
Funky Cow Eater 2 V Archangel of the abyss V Disc-o-inferno V Giga Byte
Round 2 draw
Die-ceratops re-invertus V Pussycat (17)
SD IV (1) V Flaming Hell
Crap. First bot out. Oh well, always next heat. And always next series for Vampire Killer, I better toughen up the armor.
You do know Titanium doesnt rip like paper when hit by carbon right. Frank told me.
Shame the fight was decided once more by the house robots, no driving skill required at all, and did you know that controlling a wheely big cheese style front nose is very hard, hence why Chaos beat it time and time again.
*Inserts ilfamous sign-off phrase*
Dave, must you critize FRA EVERY chance you get? Really, I havent even been here that long, and your anti-FRA posts are gettingon my nerves. Im still disapointed youre leaving, but is it absolutly nessacary for you to be like this beacuse of it?
*minor standing ovation*
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, Davey Boy... :wink:
HEAT A
ROUND 2
1) Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS Pussycat (17)
I think a recreation of the cats fight with StratosFear in PTT4 could take place here... :proud:
2) Flaming Hell VS S.D. IV (1)
Were both round about the same speed, so Spin Dash should be able to catch Dave and ram him around a little before attempting a pitting. The good thing about cage spinners is their relatively poor traction, so this shouldnt be much of a problem and hopefully, the cage will do little to my Hardox armouring.
Prove me wrong, Mr Weston! :)
Im not critizing the FRA, if it wasnt for them, than vapourbots would have ended 18 months ago when the robot wars forum shut down.
Im just saying my opinion, and if you dislike my opinions then fair enough, but its a human right to have the right to make an opinion. If you remove the right to make an opinion, then you turn the area into a controlled zone.
Unfortunately its also our human right to get annoyed with said opinion and ask you to cease being so vocal about it.
Anyway, for the Ti/carbon answer, look at Pussycat vs Dominator 2 in series 4. Dominator took numerous blows from the blade, and while whatever was holding the base to the armour was broken, the armour most certainly wasnt torn to ribbons.
Dave I have two words for you, the first being shut, the second being up, you have made yourself perfectly clear on your stance as to this which is fair enough, but you peresist in disrupting everything else, Im pretty sure theres a human right along the lines of the right to go about your business without beign harassed.
But remember, Pussycats weapon isnt excactly Nightmare-ish.
** You do know Titanium doesnt rip like paper when hit by carbon right. Frank told me. **
Franks an expert metalurgist now :proud: Frank, whats going to happen when my Swedish Fire Steel is hit by an Aluminium Carbide tooth with a petroleum based lubricant on the tooth?
Itll catch fire because when the steel and aluminium crash into each other, a spark will be created causing the petroleum based lubricant to catch fire.
