My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

Dante VS Leprosy Infection

Dante put out Axe To Fall€™s wheels as Wedginator had er, a little fun with it.

Leprosy Infection destroyed 147 with DVD to get this far.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Dante
Booth 2: Leprosy Infection

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Again, Chris presses the pit button, possibly thinking of pa-rum-pum-pumming Dante into the pit. Dante spins up to its maximum speed, and both spinning weapons go head to head!
CRASH!!!!
OHHH!!! Both go flying into the air after that hit! No damage is caused yet€¦ OH! What€™s that hanging loose off of Dante? I think it€™s the weapon! The weapon has been dislodged! Alex looks very perplexed now. Chris smirks and gets his drum to spin up again and hits Dante from the side!
CRASH!!!!
Dante€™s wheel has been shredded to bits! Oh no, this is complete chaos! The drum gets spinning again€¦ and now Dante€¦ hang on a minute, is Alex still mobile? No, it isn€™t! Dante is dead! Alex frantically works the controls, but nothing seems to be working, and Alex shakes his head and puts the controls down. Leprosy€™s drum gets spinning and it hits Dante one last time!
CRASH!
OH!!!!!! Chris shreds through the chassis and almost into the very innards! Chris starts nudging Dante into the pit and down goes Dante. BOOM! Chris then punches the air in delight. :)

Dante is sent back to hell! :mrgreen:
Leprosy Infection goes through to the Heat A Final!

Ehhh...not to be critical, but how can Dantes extremely sturdy weapon become dislodged from a hit like that, and especially from a drum? :proud:

Wedginator 6.0 vs. Leprosy Infection

Flipping it will do nothing...unless I want to stack it against the wall. :proud: Ill say that my tactics are between stacking it and pitting it. Go for an equal mix of the two. Im not worried about damage, and Leprosys drum can flip me only if he gets to the sides, so hit him from the front or ram him with the rear scoop. Dont let him get to the sides.

Wedginator VS Leprosy Infection

Wedginator got this far by putting both Axe To Fall and DVD OOTA.

Leprosy Infection made short work of 147 and Dante to get this far.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Wedginator
Booth 2: Leprosy Infection

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Wedginator comes out strong, and so does Leprosy Infection. Leprosy Infection spins up to its maximum speed, 4000RPM. Wedginator needs to get a flip€¦
FLIP!
€¦just like that! Now, Chris is over onto his back, but immediately comes back on the attack with the drum!
CRASH!
Well, not much damage is caused to Wedginator, except a big scratch in the eye of the crocodile there. Wedginator presses the pit button, but Leprosy comes out of nowhere, and smacks into Wedginator with the drum, on its side!
CRASH!
The drum gouges into the armour and makes a scratch in it. Now, Wedginator gets a flip in on Leprosy Infection again!
FLIP!
Leprosy is back over to their right side. Chris is now going for the sides of Wedginator again, and gets the drum to hit it!
CRASH!!!!
OHHHH!!!! Now Wedginator is over onto its back and he€™s near the pit, but now, Kody is in risk of falling into it if he self rights€¦ and Chris nudges it in himself.

CEASE!

Wedginator meets the bottom of the pit.
LEPROSY INFECTION GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

:lame:

You could have at least waited for Chris tactics, you know. :wink:

and you still didnt answer my question: how can Leprosy Infections drum dislodge Dantes disc? That seems impossible to me...

When both were sent flying into the air, the arena wall hit Dantes weapon motor SO HARD that it got dislodged...

You mean that when Dante hit the wall, his motor got loosened?

...meh, freak accidents happen, but then this is vapourbots, hardly anything like that happens here...

Next time€¦ on Heat B, we are going to see:

Wedgas Revenge VS Supreme Glory Gamma VS Death Threat
Panzer Mk 4 VS Toby the T-Ram Engine VS Aftershock

BE THERE!!!!

So, tactics, predictions, comments, and a donut from Tim Hortons please. :proud:

Yeah... sort of thing like that.

Wedgas Revenge VS Supreme Glory Gamma VS Death Threat

I believe I said that Death Threat would be going out here. I stand by that. :proud:

Panzer Mk 4 VS Toby the T-Ram Engine VS Aftershock

Tactics: KILL.

Panzer, that is. :proud:

All right! Let€™s get on with HEAT B€¦ WOOOOOOOT!!!

From Team Unknown, Wedga€™s Revenge!

Wedga€™s Revenge will wedge you and flip you out if you€™re not careful. This monster has a Steg 2 like shape, and a more powerful flipper, or so AJ says€¦ well, we€™ll just have to see about that! Ha!

From Team Britespark, Supreme Glory Gamma!

Supreme Glory Gamma will be receiving all the glory before you do. It has a scary 11kg axe to cleave its opponents in two, and it is capable of giving out 3kJs per hit! There are no side weapons, however.

From Team Iron Diamond, Death Threat!

Death Threat is sure to give its opponents death they deserve! It€™s powered by tracks and they also have a very nasty pair of horizontal claws that gives off a little over six tons! It€™s also invertible as well, but being invertible means that axes and crushers can find its tracks€¦

Roboteers, Stand by!

Booth 1: Wedga€™s Revenge, Supreme Glory
Booth 2: Death Threat

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

It€™s a team-up between Dan and AJ, and Wedga, first to move, comes near Death Threat and gets under the 1cm ground clearence at the back. Death Threat does not realize this, and tries to get its claw sinking into the armour of Supreme Glory!
FLIP!
OHHHHHH!!! That is a nice flip there by Wedga there. Death Threat is over onto its back. Supreme Glory now gets its axe right into... THE TRACKS!!!! OH NO, the tracks are pinned down by Supreme Glory€™s axe! Death Threat tries to move but its tracks are pinned down! Now Supreme Glory lets go, and buries its axe, and lets go, and buries again. It€™s sort of like a pattern of attacking here. Supreme Glory now lets go again, and lets Wedga dump Death Threat out of the arena. Shall we, AJ?
FA-LIP!

CEASE!

Death Threat is sentenced to death!
Wedga€™s Revenge and Supreme Glory Gamma go through!

Yep. :proud:

What do you say Steve? Team up with Kody?

Now, now, Im supposed to ask that. :proud:

I dont really mind, though, if Steve does or doesnt. Im just going to attack Panzer. Destroy the tracks/treads so he cant move, maybe shred up his weapon a little. If he even thinks of pushing me around, spin around and smack him with the rotating hubs. :proud:

From Team Revelation, Panzer Mk 4!

The reigning champion of Robot Wars Extreme Warriors returns! They have got a six wheel drive, a bloody powerful flipper, that it will make you cry for your mommy. However, it has no self righting mechanism, funnily enough... Hmmm€¦

From Team Braveheart, Toby the T-Ram Engine!

Toby is based on a Thomas character, and it€™s a rambot with a roll cage€¦ Hmmm, it€™s been a while since I saw a rambot with a roll cage, but still, it could do well.

From Team Zlayerz, Aftershock!

Aftershock will definitely shock you and tear the crap out of you if you aren€™t careful. It€™s got a lethal spinning drum spinning at 3500 RPM and gives out 43KJs! Not only that, the wheel hubs spin at 6000RPM, and it€™s completely invertible as well, but being invertible means that axes and crushers can crumple its tyres€¦

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Panzer Mk 4, Toby the T-Ram Engine
Booth 2: Aftershock

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

First things first. Aftershock is spinning away to its maximum speed. Todd Mendanhall drives Panzer Mk 4, and now€¦ he€™s driving towards Aftershock, not knowing Kody has got his drum spun up!
CRASH!!!!!
OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! The wheel guard comes off! Now, the wheels are exposed! Ah man, this is carnage! Toby has pressed the pit button, and Aftershock now goes after Panzer again, and hits it from the front!
CRASH!!!!
OHHHHHHH!!!!! The flipper is gone completely! Ah, man, this is carnage already, after 30 seconds gone into the fight! Todd is looking glum now, after Kody ripped off his tyre guards and his flipper. Now, Toby comes out from nowhere and crashes into Panzer, and pushing him towards the arena hammers! Panzer takes a hammer blow!
WHAM!
Aw, MAN! It€™s smashed the siren thingy on the top of Panzer! Pieces are littering the arena floor, and now Kody comes out of nowhere, and Panzer is being pushed right into his drum by Toby!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The wheel is shredded, and Panzer finally gets flipped by Kody€™s drum, and the end is nigh for Panzer as Toby pushes it near the pit, and lets Kody finsh it off. BOOM!

CEASE!

Panzer Mk 4 better make room for Panzer Mk 5.
Toby and Aftershock go through!

One word: Pwnage. :proud:

Can I post in a revised version of Nitro-Gene please?

NITRO-GENE 4.0

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox for the body. 6mm Hardox flipper.

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with pointed sides and rear. At the front is a 42* wedge to aid in getting underneath other robots. All the lines have been curved over to make it harder for a spinner to grab onto a panel and rip.

€ MOTORS: 4 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 36HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 90CM (H) 17CM (W) 70CM

€ COLOUR: Black all over with the flipper coloured red.

€ WEAPONRY: A full pressure Nitrogen powered flipper at 1000psi, using a single 80mm ram at 1000psi. The flipper is mounted in the middle of the robot, and is 20cm wide and runs 30cm up the body. Using a 3cm long Titanium strip underneath the flipper, and a heavy flipping arm, the flipper runs completely along the ground. Running on a ratio 2.2:1, the flipper produces 1600kg of force at the tips, allowing me to launch anyone away! This version has 2 x 3kg Nitrogen bottles, giving me 25 flips!

€ SPEED: 22mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0MM-2CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the sides/rear, its 2cm. The orginal weakness of Nitro-Gene (its high ground clearance) has been seen to by the skirts on the sides/rear. They are 5mm Titanium skirts and are joined together like BioHazard - at the corners. To avoid them breaking off, they are held in place by Hardox hinges.

€ STRENGTH: Pushing power and weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: High speed may mean difficult driving

Round Two Lineups

Wedgas Revenge VS Toby
SGG VS Aftershock

Tactics, Comments, Predictions and a new USB cord please. :lame:

«Wedgas Revenge vs. Toby the T-Ram Engine»

Were equal in the drive department so Toby wont be ramming me around too much. Tactics are short and simple here. Have a run at those skirts, get under them, fire the flipper and launch it skywards. If the rollbars continue to work, Ill go for the old stack routine and try and rest Toby up against the walls. From there it should be an easy OOTA. Both these robots are similar in some aspects. But while Tobys weapon is comedy, I have a nice powerful flipping arm to my advantage. :)

That may be the first fight Tobys ever won. :proud:

Not much to do here but aim for the corners and pray for a pitting.

Supreme Glory Gamma vs. Aftershock

Haha! :proud: Perfect, an opponent who will get his weapon destroyed when he tries to attack me. :proud: Nothing fancy, just ram into him as many times as possible, keep pouring on the aggression, and hit him with the hubs when my main drum aint spinning. Hell also need one hell of a lucky hit to get my tires, which are quite strong as well. :proud: I love Supreme Glory Gamma to be honest, but seriously I think I have an excellent chance of winning. Just hit, flip, rip, destroy the axe.

Good luck Daniel.

Got tactics from AJ and Steve. Let€™s get on with the first 2nd Round Match!

Wedga€™s Revenge VS Toby the T-Ram Engine

Wedga got here by tossing Death Threat out of the arena.
Toby pushed Panzer Mk 4 while Aftershock destroyed it.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Wedga€™s Revenge
Booth 2: Toby the T-Ram Engine

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Wedga€™s Revenge and Toby comes out slowly, and Wedga somehow gets under the 0mm ground clearence of Toby and flicks it over! Toby rolls back onto the wheels and presses the pit button. Wedga drives in and gets under the skirts of Toby again!
FLIP!
OH! There€™s another unmerciful flip given to Toby there. Steve is looking concerned right now, as AJ just gets under the skirts again and starts pushing it towards the hammers!
WHAM!!!
OHH!!! The 15mm Lexan is crumpled!
WHAM!!
OHH!!! It€™s crumpled even more, and AJ thinks it€™s time for some air time for Toby! So, Wedga carries Toby towards the arena wall, and€¦ yup, you guessed it.
FA-LIP!

CEASE!

Toby the T-Ram Engine got rammed around like nobody€™s business.
Wedga€™s Revenge goes through to the Heat B Final!

Tactics: Open pit release button. Aim to get Aftershock near the arena wall and push it into the Plexiglass, slowing the drum down. ONLY WHEN the drum has been slowed down, fire the axe and use it to grapple Aftershock towards the pit.

Okay then... :P

Added tactics

Stay in the middle of the arena. :proud: Smack SGG over onto his head, and when he self-rights, try to hit the axe.

Now friends, it€™s time for another battle.

Supreme Glory Gamma VS Aftershock

SGG got here by beating Death Threat into submission with Wedga€™s Revenge.
Aftershock got here by TRASHING Panzer Mk 4 and putting all its remains into the pit with help from Steve.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Supreme Glory Gamma
Booth 2: Aftershock

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Aftershock is spinning away again, and SGG moves toward the FBD, not knowing it has reached top speed! Aftershock has reached its top speed and hits SGG right in the kisser!
CRASH!!!!
OHH!!! Something came flying off of SGG! What the heck was that?! Let€™s just look at the replay€¦ and, Aftershock rips off€¦ OH! The axe! Oh no, the axe was ripped clean off of SGG as soon as it tried to hit Aftershock! Now SGG is weaponless! Now Aftershock€¦
CRASH!!!!
€¦smashes the pit button. :angry: We€™ll have words with you later on, Kody! :wink: Now, Aftershock moves closer and closer to SGG, and spinning up again, it smacks into its rear end!
CRASH!!!!
OHHHHHH!!! It rips the skirt clean off, and now the drum hits the rear end again!
CRASH!!!!
OHH!!!!!! The drum flips over SGG! Now, since the axe was ripped off, they can€™t self right now. So, Aftershock does the old ra-pum-pum-pum-pum, and slams SGG into the pit.

CEASE!

Supreme Glory Gamma loses all its glory in just less than 2 minutes. :proud:
Aftershock goes through to the Heat B Final!

Tactics, Comments, Predictions, and a new math textbook please. :lame:

Hold it... the arena is actually 13m by 16m. Sorry for the sudden change.

I dont remember Daniel saying he would use the axe until he got my drum stopped near the arena wall, but w00t anyway. :proud:

Aftershock vs. Wedgas Revenge

This reminds me of Tira IIIs fight with Wedga in Returners, except this should be far easier than that time. Course who said its going to be even relatively easy now? :wink:

Wedgas flipper wont really help it here unless its at an arena wall with me on top, :proud: so Ill just stay in the middle again and keep smacking him. I should be able to flip him over many times.
If at all he tries to rush in when the drum is stopped at that hit, show him my lovely spinning hubs. :proud: The armour of Wedga is tough, but I think I should be able to get by.

w00t for making the heat final again. :proud:

Wedgas Revenge VS Aftershock

Wedgas Revenge got here by flicking Death Threat and Toby the T-Ram Engine out of the arena.

Aftershock got here by totally destroying the ex-champions of Robot Wars Extreme Warriors, Panzer Mk 4 and dismantling Supreme Glory Gamma.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Wedgas Revenge
Booth 2: Aftershock

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

So, the heat final begins now. Aftershock spins away to its maximum speed, and Wedgas Revenge is moving towards Aftershock and activates its flipper!
FLIP!
OH! An unmerciful flip given to Aftershock, and now... Aftershock spins away to its maximum speed, and it hits Wedga on the rear end!
CRASH!!!
OH!!!!!! The wheel is absolutely shredded! Now, Wedga is overturned, but AJ self-rights the machine! Aftershock now...
CRASH!!!
...smashes the pit button AGAIN!! :angry::angry: How many times do you need to be reminded you only need to just nudge the button, not smash it? :proud: Now, Aftershock is moving towards Wedga, who is limping on one wheel, and gets the flipper to activate... BEFORE AFTERSHOCK GETS ON IT!
CRASH!!!!!!
OHHH!!!! The CO2 tank bursts open! Now, Aftershock spins away again, and Wedga, I think, is immobile. Now, Aftershock hits the lifeless body of Wedga again!
CRASH!!!!!!
The drum has tipped Wedga over, and finally, AJ knows the end is nigh for Wedga, as it is tossed into the pit by Kody. BOOM!

CEASE!

Wedgas Revenge didnt get the revenge they needed.
Aftershock goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!

So, tactics, comments, and a ice cream cone please. :proud:

*eats ice cream, inserts cone in Sams ear* :proud:

Predictions: Obliteration and ANATB to go out. I think. Very good fights there, I have to say.

LOL.

The fights will be in shortly after the break! :proud:

So here we go with the third heat!!!

From Team Unkown, Psyclonised!

Psyclonized is a ring spinner like Gyrobot, and it is so deadly that it will melt your heart. It€™s also quick and invertible, but as always, being invertible means that axes and crushers can find its tyres.

From Team Iron Diamond, Sithis!

Sithis is a four-wheel drive monster, with a 20kg spinning ring that€™s powered by a E-Tek Motor. It can put out 80kJs at its maximum speed, 2000RPM.

From Team Dinowarrior, Obliteration!

Obliteration will obliterate you if you don€™t run away. It€™s another ring spinner with a tip speed of 1000RPM. It can run both ways up but the wheels are exposed as always, and it€™s got 5mm ground clearence which means it will be food for those nasty flippers.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Psyclonised, Sithis
In the control booth, AJ and Danny are whispering to each other about the battle plan.
Booth 2: Obliteration

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

So, the spinning starts now! The three spinners spin up to full speed, with Danny and AJ teaming up and slams into Chris!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sparks are flying and so does Chris! Chris has crashed into the wall! Now, the three spins up again and crashes into each other with all their might!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris crashes into the wall again, but somethings wrong, this time. Chris is not spinning at all! Oh no! Now, Psyclonised is spinning up again, and hits Obliteration again!
CRASH!!!!
OH! The ring is shredded! Now, Sithis spins up to full speed ahead and crashes into the lifeless body of Chris€™s machine!
CRASH!!
OH!!!! The ring is shredded more! Now, Obliteration is no more, and it€™s safe to say that this fight is already done. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,

CEASE!

Oblieration is obliterated, himself.
Psyclonised and Sithis go through!

Just one question - how did Aftershock attack the internal wheels and gas canister before even ripping away a pannel?

Just one question - how did Aftershock attack the internal wheels and gas canister before even ripping away a pannel?

LOL, not to kill off my own win, but Id like to know that too. :proud:

Aftershock got under Wedga from its rear and shredded the wheel. Then Wedga activated its flipper BEFORE Aftershock got on it and so, Aftershock dug straight into their flipper.

There, I think that made sense.

Put those sorts of details into your fights.

Frank is right. Although your fights arent too bad, you need to pay attention to detail a little more in them. :)

OK, time for this 2nd first round match.

From Team Varying Every Day, Another Night At the Bar!

ANATB has a big bar spinner for a weapon, which is powered by a single LEM-130 motor, with 1500RPM speed and is able to give out 75 kJ€¦ but its wheels are exposed to spinning weapons, crushers and axes, and there are TWO in this fight€¦

From Team Bored, The 6Isc!

The 6isc is the barbell-shaped robot we€™ve come to know€¦ and know. It€™s got a 26kg vertical spinning disc powered by a LEM-130 Lynch Motor, and going at 2500RPM. It€™s got weak armour and it€™s invertible so maybe a low disc, axe, or crusher could attack its tyres€¦

From Team Doomforall, ArchAngel of the Abyss!

AOTA is a full body spinner waiting to rip you up to pieces! It€™s got 12mph top speed, which is pretty fast for a walker. Also, this has two spinning rings, both spinning in different directions, the upper layer spins at 1000RPM and the bottom ring spins at an average speed of 1500 to 2500RPM.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: ANATB, 6isc
Booth 2: AOTA

3, 2, 1, ACTIVATE!

So, it€™s spinning time again! The three robots spin up to full speed. ArchAngel and the 6isc crash into each other!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHH!!!!!!! Sparks are flying and both bots go flying as well! Now, ANATB comes out of nowhere and crashes into the 6isc€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
...only to get damaged itself! The ANATB€™s axles are scratched very badly! I think that the 6isc hit the axle, and now look, ANATB€™s axle is scratched! Now, ArchAngel comes in again, and crashes into ANATB€¦ STRAIGHT INTO ITS SIDE!!!
CRASH!!!!!!
OH!!!!!! ArchAngel just rips off a part of the wheel, and ANATB is limping on three wheels€¦
CRASH!!!!!!
€¦well, now there€™s two. ArchAngel crashes into the wheels again and smashes another wheel, and ArchAngel€¦
CRASH!!!
€¦smashes the pit release button. :angry: That€™s the second time that this happened! We€™ll have words with you later, Alex! :wink: Why, oh why do the robots keep on wrecking our arena? :proud: ArchAngel is now spinning out of control again, and meanwhile, ANATB now spins up to speed again, and hits ArchAngel€¦
CRASH!!!!
€¦ and damages himself again! No offense Martijn but aren€™t you being a bit impulsive right now? :proud: ANATB€¦ hang on a minute, is ANATB still mobile? I think ArchAngel may have dislodged something inside of ANATB! ANATB is now counted out.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... OUT!!!!
Now ArchAngel spins down and tackles ANATB down the pit. BOOM! Alex and Frank sigh in relief.

CEASE!

Another Night At The Bar says bye-bye to the competition. :)
The 6isc and ArchAngel of the Abyss go through!

Round 2 Battles
Psyclonised VS The 6isc
Sithis VS ArchAngel of the Abyss

Tactics, Predictions, Comments, and a cup full of jello please. :)

I have chocolate pudding, will that do? :)

Psyclonised and ArchAngel through.
