Exactly, peak power and what a motor will actually do under battle conditions are rather different things, as Ive already told you :P
Two things, Tornado did not use standard 750s but rewound ones to better cope against burnouts.
Even then you will not get 7HP out of 2 Boshes unless you also go to exotic things like replacing magnets to rare earth and doubling up un brushes, effetively building a new motor really.
Welcome back.
Up next, the final battle of the day. Superheavyweight flippers Cause and Effect and Vertigo battle it out for a place in the next round
From Wales, Cause and Effect!
Daniels superheavyweight is a box wedge that has removable side armour! For this battle, Daniel will be using them. The weapon is a powerful Co2 flipper. But once the Co2 runs out, that will have a very negative effect on this robot!
From England, Vertigo!
A similar design to its opponent, Lewis entered another Co2 powered flipper. There are side skirts to stop robots getting under it. With six wheel drive, it has good pushing power, but it has limited Co2!
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
A flipper frenzy here. Two very good looking robots. Vertigo RUSHES Cause and Effect and THROWS it onto its back! Cause and Effect self-rights and turns to face Lewiss robot. Daniel tries to get under the sides, but the skirts on Vertigo wont let him...OHH! Cause and Effect flipped over again. Again it self-rights, but Vertigo SLAMS it against the angle grinder! Will it get it out...NOO! Almost, though! Cause and Effect against the wall on its side, but it crashes onto its top. It self-rights. Vertigo hits the pit release, but Cause and Effect has recovered and RAMS into the side, firing the flipper, but not getting it under those side skirts. Lewis takes advantage of the mistake and THROWS Cause and Effect onto its side again! What a fight this is. Cause and Effect self-rights, but gets SLAMMED into the angle grinder again by Vertigo! I like the look of Vertigo so far! Cause and Effect gets away, and this time, it tries to go for the back and FLIPS, but misses! Vertigo turns around and chases Cause and Effect across the arena, over the flame pit, but OH! Whats this? The front forks of Cause and Effect are stuck under the grinder! Daniel tries to get away, but he cant. Vertigo gets in from behind. OHH! Cause and Effect almost doing a complete 360 spin in the air as Vertigo flips it free. Cause and Effect self-rights again, but how long can it keep taking this beating? Vertigo gets under again and pushes Cause and Effect DOWN THE pit! What a fight! Lewis has won this round. Daniels robot looked so good, but it couldnt cut it in FRFFT: Series Two. Well done, Vertigo!
Cease!
Cause and Effect affected terribly.
Vertigo goes into the next round!
So on this heat the winners are, joining the next robots in the semi-finals
FW: Deadly Lampshade/Little Flipper 3
MW: Complete Control/Blizzard
HW: The Hurting/BIACS-IE
SHW: Vertigo/The Red Knight
See you later for Heat C!
Oh bollocks for Isolation, but w00t for The Hurting :P
Have to say your fights are improving, keep it up Elliot. :)
Later, on Bravo, we have Walker: Texas Ranger and after that The Kill Point. But now, FRFFT: Series Two! :proud:
Welcome back to FRFFT: Heat C.
Ive decided to mix up the battles a bit. First up, Shrederator Supreme and UberForce 2.0, two superheavyweights, will be taking over the arena
From Florida in the USA, Shrederator Supreme!
The Revolutionists bigger brother, with extra weight on its side, it should cause bigger damage! Paul Cuomo and Brian Nave entered it, but if its flipped, Shrederator could get shredded!
From England, UberForce 2.0!
A Storm II style rammer, UberForce has no weapons, but with six wheels, makes up for that with speeds of 15mph! Still, the wheels are exposed and how effective is it, really?
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Shrederator spins up to speed, and it moves over to the side to avoid UberForces front. AJ turns to face the spinning robot and charges HEAD ON! OHH! Sparks fly and Shrederator BOUNCED into the wall. OUCH! Like a pinball at the moment, Shrederator, but before it can spin up, UberForce SMASHES it head on again! Pushing it across, into Refbot! Shrederator escapes and spins up again. UberForce chases it down and OHH! Sparks fly and Shrederator once again OUT of CONTROL! It isnt out of control now, and UberForce CRASHES into it again, pushing it into the pit release button! Now, it pushes it around, closer...OH! Into the pit! That must have been the quickest fight to date! AJ is happy he survived Shrederators mighty force. He shakes hands with Samuel, so a good fight all around.
Cease!
Shrederator in the pit!
UberForce 2.0 is into the next round!
Sorry if that fight was a bit short. Next up, Nitro-Gene 5.0 against Atomic Wedgie and Typhoon VS Purer!
See you then
Last time in the Heavyweight Championships, the reigning Champion The Hurting beat Axeon 3.0 on a judges decision!
From England, Armoured Wedgie!
Lewis has entered this new robot. It has a powerful Co2 powered flipper and is based on a normal wedge. It can go up to 20mph, but it only has 25 flips in a fight, and once they are used up, what else can it do?
From England, Nitro-Gene 5.0!
The second seed in the Heavyweight Championship, Nitro-Gene was beaten by The Hurting in Series One. It hasnt changed much, and still has a Co2 powered flipper. Its invertible, but should it get flipped, the weapon becomes useless!
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Armoured Wedgie turns to the side to try and avoid Nitro-Gene, but Paul gets underneath and THROWS it onto its top! Armoured Wedgie self-rights and goes after Nitro-Gene. Nitro-Gene turns to face it but OHH! It gets flipped itself. The flipper wont be useful now, but Nitro-Gene gets around the side and pushes Armoured Wedgie into the angle grinder! Sparks fly, but no damage caused to Lewiss robot. It gets away and goes to the centre of the arena, only to be rammed in the side by Nitro-Gene again! It breaks free and THROWS Nitro-Gene back the right way up! Now the flipper WORKS! That was a good comeback by Paul! Armoured Wedgie was flipped over then. It self-rights, but Nitro-Gene gets under it and OH! Almost flipped out, Armoured Wedgie. Its stuck on the angle grinder, but it flips itself away. Nitro-Gene pushes the pit release button. Armoured Wedgie goes to get under it and THROWS Nitro-Gene onto its back again! Nitro-Gene rams from the side and pushes, ALMOST into the pit! Armoured Wedgie escapes and tries to get around the side of Nitro-Gene, it FLIPS, but Nitro-Gene not back the right way up! Nitro-Gene pushes it against the wall, but Armoured Wedgie flips it away! Nitro-Gene the right way up, but Armoured Wedgie flips it AGAIN! And again! Nitro-Gene must be feeling dizzy now. Armoured Wedgie has gotten underneath it and PUSHES it towards the wall! OHH! Nitro-Gene flies out! What a shock. The 2nd seeds out! Paul did well at the beginning, but Lewis turned it around to win!
Cease!
Nitro-Gene 5.0 is frozen!
Armoured Wedgie goes into the next round!
The final battle of the Heat is the middleweight battle. Typhoon, the No 2 seed goes up against Purer, a good looking newcomer
From Glasgow in Scotland, Typhoon!
The RAF and Will H have entered the Robot Wars Three Time Middleweight Champion! It was beaten by Xianghua III last time, but it wants the claim the FRFFT Middleweight title. It is easily flipped though.
From Wales, Purer!
A middleweight version of Constrictor, almost, Daniel has entered Purer for the competition. Its armed with a Co2 powered flipper, but with 2WD, is hasnt got much pushing power!
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Typhoon spins up to full speed, but Purer goes over...to the pit release and presses the button! Daniel wants to get rid of Typhoon quickly, but Will sneaks up from behind. OH! Purer spun away. It gets away, but Typhoon clips it on the side and leaves a gash! Daniel recovers and Purer heads to the centre of the arena. Typhoon slows down, and Purer SLAMS into it. OHH! Sparks fly, and Typhoon on its side. Purer got one good flip in there! Refbot looks around. Purer waits there. Does it sense Typhoon is out. I think it is, because the Refbot is counting it down. Or is Typhoon out? Because I dont think Purer is moving either! Did Typhoon knock it out before being flipped?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
The judges will have to decide. What a fight!
Cease!
Both robots immobolised. Weve heard Purers link came out during that last hit. Daniel and Will wait in the pits.
This is what the scorecard looks like:
Purer: S: 2 C: 2 D: 0 A: 1 Total: 5
Typhoon: S: 2 C: 2 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 10
Its controversial, but Typhoon wins! Well done to them. Sorry, Daniel.
After the break, Little Hitter and Sith!
See you then!
Please tell me if the decision was wrong.
2 things Elliot:
1. Nitro-Gene uses Nitrogen, NOT CO2!
2. What happened to my plan of dodge to his sides and shove him to the edge and throw him out - with one flip? I siad I would only use the flipper in an OOTAing or self-righting situation. You ignored that, and Im annoyed, not of losing, I can take defeat, but of the fact that I said get to his side, which I did, and push to the sides and throw OUT, not throw straight over.
Thats all.
Paul, ever considered I may not have allowed you to get your plan into action?
Sorry about the mistakes, again
From England, Little Hitter!
This is the 2nd Seed after it won Series One. Entered by Samuel, this time. It still has a Co2 powered axe, but at 9mph it is slow.
From England, Sith!
Entered by Alex, it is a wedge shape with an actuator-powered flipper and two smaller flipping arms to lift the opponent onto the main weapon! It can self-right, and is the faster in this fight by 3mph. Inexperienced, though.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Sith wants to avoid that mighty axe of Little Hitter, but Samuel gets the first hit on top and pushes Sith over the flame pit! Sith turns and tries to flip Little Hitter over, but OH! The axe makes a dent in the top armour of Sith! Sith charges forward and FLIPS! Little Hitter on its top, but it self-rights! Sith gets around the side and throws it over again! Pushing it into the CPZ, but Little Hitter self-rights and comes back on the attack again! Another axe hit on the top, but I dont think its causing much damage, that axe. Sith gets under the side and THROWS Little Hitter against the angle grinder! Little Hitter comes back down, but Sith pushes it into the wall again! Not much action so far. Little Hitter pushes back and now IT gets under Siths side and pushes it into the pit release! Sith breaks free and now turns the tables on Little Hitter, pushing it to the centre of the arena throwing it up, but not over! The axe makes another dent on the Kevlar armour of Sith, but Alex isnt fazed and pushes Little Hitter closer to the pit! OHH! Down it goes! Little Hitter is out! Sith is the winner. Well done!
Cease!
Little Hitter gets knocked into the pit!
Sith goes through to Round 2!
Next time, the last qualifying heat before the semi-finals.
See you then
Wow. The name Nitro-Gene pretty much spells out what powers the weapon, and you say its powered by CO2?
lmao
Sorry about the Nitro-Gene 5.0 mistakes
Welcome to the final qualifying heat of Series Two of FRFFT!
First, a superheavyweight battle between No 1 Seed Drive and veteran Toro
From California in the USA, Toro!
Toro, in Series One, was flipped out by Ziggy. Now that Ziggy is out, Samuel is confident it wont happen again! Nothing has changed, but we know it is unreliable!
From England, Drive!
The Reigning Superheavyweight Champion in FRFFT, Drive has 8 drive motors that give it incredible speeds and pushing power. Its invertible, but with no real weapon, it wont get many points in damage!
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Drive doesnt want to be caught out by that flipper of Toro, so it sneaks around the side, but Toro catches it first. OH! Drive almost over, but it recovers and gets the wedge under the Inertia Labs robot. Pushing it against the wall. Toro FLIPS Drive upside down, but that wont stop it. It can run any way up. Drive escapes, but Toro follows it. Ramming into its side, Toro and THROWING it over again! Drive recovers and pushes back, ramming Toro into the angle grinder. No real damage, but Toro gets away again, only for Drive to crash into the side and push it into the pit release button! Down goes the pit, but Toro breaks free and throws the reigning champion onto its back again! Drive, theres not much you can do with it, is there? Toro smashes against it and pushes it towards the wall. Will it get Drive out? YES, IT DOES! The powerful flipper of Toro has defeated the reigning superheavyweight champion! Joey is OK with the fight, and he and Samuel shake hands. I think Toro could go all the way this time!
Cease!
Drive crashes and burns!
Toro is through to the next round.
Superheavyweights: Toro/The Red Knight/Uberforce 2.0/Vertigo
Next up, Hyper-Ventilate and ROID fight for the last place in the middleweight championship semi-finals and Achillies takes on Maleficant!
Were pretty even opponents for this middleweight match, but I have the weaponry advantage. My best hope is to try and stack ROID against the wall, or gain pushing advantage my removing its traction before pushing it across the arena. If I cant pit or stack it just be dominant and try to win a JD
Good luck AJ :)
Welcome back! Last time, Drive was flipped out by Toro.
Next, two middleweight robots: ROID and Hyper-Ventilate
From England, Hyper-Ventilate!
Lewis has entered this robot. It is basically two wedges joined in the middle by a pipe, to which is attached a spiked arm that can ram and lift other robots. But the wheels are exposed.
From England, ROID!
AJ entered this wedge shaped robot. Its main weapon is to push other robots around. Its invertible, but how effective is it?
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
ROID doesnt seem to be worried about that weapon of Hyper-Ventilate because it CHARGES Lewiss robot and pushes it onto the flame pit. The lifting arm of Hyper-Ventilate smashes onto the top of ROID, but no damage. Hyper-Ventilate backs off the wedge and continues to swing away with the arm! AJ isnt fazed and tries to push Hyper-Ventilate again, but Hyper-Ventilate gets under this time and pushes ROID into the CPZ. It lets it go, but hits it with the arm a few times. ROID turns to face Hyper-Ventilate again and gets under! Pushing Lewiss robot against the angle grinder! Not much effectiveness with these two, but ROID is the more aggressive at the moment. The Hyper-Ventilate weapon strikes the top of ROID, making a few dents, but nothing else. It breaks free and hits ROID again. Now it goes over to the pit release and OH! It gets rammed into the button by ROID! Almost knocked over, Hyper-Ventilate! The pit goes down, and Hyper-Ventilate whacks away with the arm again. ROID pushes it into the CPZ! Hyper-Ventilate gives chase and swings its arm madly at ROID! ROID turns again, but Hyper-Ventilate gets under the side of ROID this time and pins ROID with the arm! ROID tries to drag Hyper-Ventilate around, but Lewis is in control and pushes ROID onto the flame pit. The armour on ROID is quite strong, so no damage there. It lets ROID go, and AJ tries to push from the side. Hyper-Ventilate swings the arm onto the top again, but still no damage! OH! ROID drove into the CPZ, and Hyper-Ventilate has it cornered! Bashing away with the arm, AJ is pushing back! Back...towards the pit, maybe?! No! Hyper-Ventilate backs off the wedge and escapes to the centre of the arena. ROID charges at it, but it rides up Hyper-Ventilates wedge and gets lifted up by the arm! Now ROID is in trouble! Being pushed around by Hyper-Ventilate. The last ten seconds of the clock count down. ROID is dropped onto the flame pit, bu it gets behind Hyper-Ventilate and pushes it towards the pit! OHH! Hyper-Ventilate almost in, but it survives to go to the judges!
Cease!
What a fight! The judges will have to decide!
Hyper-Ventilate: S: 3 C: 3 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 11
ROID: S: 2 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 9
Hyper-Ventilate is the winner! Well done to Lewis!
So, the middleweight Round Two lineup:
Hyper-Ventilate/Complete Control/Typhoon/Blizzard
That looks like a good lineup!
Next:
Achillies VS Maleficant
OverDrive VS Micrompression
Very good fights, there.
From Wales, Maleficant!
An invertible box with a scoop on the front backed up by a spinning disc! Daniel entered this robot, which hasnt fought before. Hopefully the destructive weapon should make up for it. For this fight, Daniel will be keeping the disc!
From England, Achilles!
Alex entered this heavyweight robot. It has a flipper that can be powered by two setups: hydraulics and Co2! For this fight, Alex will be using the Co2 setup. It can self-right using a seperate self-righting mechanism, but how effective will the flipper be?
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Maleficant charges towards Achilles, but Alex veers to the side and FLIPS! He missed, and that allows Maleficant to RAM into the side of Achilles. Sparks fly from the disc! Achilles turns and this time DOES get the flipper under. Over goes Maleficant! It cant use the disc properly now! It tries to push Achilles from the side, but Achilles gets under the inverted scoop and FLIPS it over again! Now Maleficant is back the right away up and SMASHES into the side of Achilles with the disc, and Achilles almost flipped over by the power of the disc! It gets away, but Maleficant clips it on the back! Achilles turns to face Daniels robot and tries to get under the front, but Maleficant gets under the first and OH! Achilles spun onto its top! It self-rights, but gets SMASHED into by Maleficant! Achilles over the flame pit, a few scratches and dents, but nothing more. Achilles turns and gets under the Welsh robot, THROWING it over! Maleficant hides behind the Refbot, but Achilles follows and FLIPS it up, but not back the right way! Maleficant crashes back down, but Achilles pushes it towards the wall! OH! Not out, but almost! Maleficant comes back down onto the arena floor, the right way up and CRASHES into the front of Achilles. Achilles flips itself away, but allows the disc to get at its underside. It turns and flips Maleficant once again, and AGAIN! Maleficant charges in and sparks fly! Achilles pushed towards the angle grinder, but it gets away! Alex turns to push Maleficant from the side, but it turns and SMACKS Achilles with the disc! Achilles FLIPS, but misses again! OHH! The disc of Maleficant flips it over again! Achilles self-rights, but Maleficant crashes into the underbelly again with its disc. A good battle here. Both robots were on top at one time or another. The last ten seconds count down! I think theres a slight gash on Achilles. It FLIPS Maleficant again. Maleficant tries to push from the front, but Achilles gets under the wedge and THROWS it the right way up again!
Cease!
The judges will have to decide. Achilles finished stronger there!
Achilles: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10
Maleficant: S: 3 C: 3 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 11
Achilles has found its weakness!
Maleficant goes into the next round!
And after the break, the last qualifying battle of the series: OverDrive vs Micrompression!
See you then. Hope you liked the fight
Dunno much about feathers, so Im not sure if my claws will actually damage. Anyhow, grabbing hold while hes on my hinged wedge should allow me to push him around and hopefully to the pit.
Good luck AJ :)
Since there is nothing else to do, I shall write the last qualifying heat for Series Two
From England, OverDrive!
This was knocked out in Series One by Deadly Lampshade. It is still a box on wheels that rams other robots. Its invertible, but with no damaging weapon, the points could be stacked against it.
From England, Micrompression!
Lewis has entered this featherweight robot. It has two crushing claws and a wedge that works any way up. Its inexperienced, though.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
OverDrive charges forward and SLAMS into the front of Micrompression. The claws grab hold of AJs robot, but with four wheels, OverDrive pushes Micrompression into the arena wall! Micrompression lets go, but OverDrive pushes it again, into the angle grinder, but no damage is caused. Micrompression gets away and tries to get around the side of OverDrive. The claws grab hold again, but OverDrive drags it around with it. Micrompression pushing back, though, but the claws arent doing much damage. It lets go again, and OverDrive pushes from the side into the arena wall! Micrompression gets away, but OverDrive pushes from behind into the angle grinder again! Micrompression turns around to grab hold of it, but OverDrive pushes from the side again! Micrompression breaks free and presses the pit release button! Down goes the pit! OverDrive SMASHES into Micrompression from behind. One of the claws looks buckled on Micrompression, but it grabs hold of OverDrive and tries to push it into the pit, but OverDrive backs Micropression away! I think the claws have made their mark on OverDrive, but AJ refuses to surrender! Back goes Micrompression, it lets go, or has it? I think one of the claws is stuck onto the side of OverDrive! Lewis tries to get away, but AJ is in control now! Now Micrompression is free, but the claw is buckled even more now! OverDrive pushes it into the wall. The last ten seconds count down. Micrompression gets away and grabs hold of OverDrive one last time, but OverDrive pushes it against the wall. Lewis lets it go as the fight ends.
Cease!
That was a good fight. But the judges have to decide the winner.
OverDrive: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10
Micrompression: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 9
It was close, but OverDrive is the winner! Well done to AJ.
And now, the lineup for the Semi-Finals!
Semi-Final One
OverDrive VS Sith
Toro VS UberForce 2.0
Typhoon VS Blizzard
The Hurting VS BIACS-IS
Semi-Final Two
The Red Knight VS Vertigo
Deadly Lampshade VS Little Flipper 3
Maleficant VS Armoured Wedgie
Typhoon VS Hyper-Ventilate
See you then! :)
Um...why is Typhoon in there twice? :S
Complete Control will take on Hyper-Ventilate
Sorry
It hasnt been long since the qualifying heats ended, and here we are with the first Semi-Final of FRFFT: Series Two!
First up: Sith and OverDrive!
From England, Sith!
Entered by Alex. It pushed Little Hitter into the pit to get here. A acuator powered flipper provide the weapons.
From England, OverDrive!
Entered by AJ. OverDrive is a box on wheels that pushes robots around. It beat Micrompression on a judges decision to get this far.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
OverDrive needs to avoid that flipper of Sith. It does so and tries to get around the side, but it goes up the wedge and OH! Sith THROWS it over! OverDrive isnt affected, it can run any way up, but Sith turns to face it again! OverDrive gets around the back and pushes Sith before it can turn around again! Into the wall, Sith, but it gets away and flips at thin air. OverDrive tries to ram it again, but drives up the angled wedge shape! OHH! Over it goes again! OverDrive turns away, but Sith gives chase. OverDrive gets along the side and pushes Sith around, but Sith turns and flips again! OverDrive recovers and tries to push Sith again, but Alex turns away and gets around the sides of OverDrive and THROWS it upside down! A good battle by Sith so far, I think its on top. OverDrive presses the pit release button. Sith chases after it, but OverDrive avoids the front and tries to get around the back. It does and it pushes Sith into the arena wall, but Sith recovers and turns around to flip OverDrive again! OverDrive comes around the sides again and pushes Sith over the flame pit! Sith breaks free of OverDrive and turns to the centre of the arena. OverDrive slides up the sides of Sith again, but gets away before its flipped. It comes in again and pushes Sith towards the angle grinder, but it slides up the sides of Sith again! Sith turns and FLIPS OverDrive over again! OverDrive gets around the back of Sith, but Sith is too fast and ALMOST into the pit there! OverDrive almost follows, but Sith rams it from the side...OHH! OverDrive is dangling over and DOWN it goes! OverDrive did well to get this far!
Cease!
OverDrive in the pit!
Sith goes into the Grand Final!
Well done to Sith
Perhaps you could have waited for AJs tactics first. :P
Yes, Kody
Any other tactics, anyone
Against BIACS-IS...try not to hit it while the disc is showing I guess, if the disc is present then go for flipping the thing instead. Generally otherwise hit it and get it into a hazardous sort of area.
Welcome back. Last time on the semi-finals, Sith pushed OverDrive into the pit.
Next, its Toro and Uberforce 2.0 looking for a spot in the Superheavyweight Championship Grand Final!
From England, Uberforce 2.0!
Entered by AJ. This Storm II style robot pushes Shrederator Supreme into the pit. With six wheels, it has shovability on its side.
From California in the USA, Toro!
Entered by Samuel. It flipped the reigning Superheavyweight champion Drive out in the first round! A good robot all around, but it is unreliable.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Uberforce charges to the side of Toro to avoid that flipper. Toro swings around, but Uberforce gets under and pushes it into the wall. Toro recovers and turns to face the front of AJs machine. It gets under the front wedge and FLIPS! Uberforce overturned, but it can run any way up. It backs away, but the wedge isnt usable now so it cant get underneath Toro. Toro chases after it. Uberforce turns around but OH! Toro got underneath and throws it over again! Uberforce right way up and it manages to get around the side of Toro again! Pushing it into the CPZ. Toro turns and FLIPS Uberforce over again! Samuel chases Uberforce again, but Uberforce heads for the pit release button and presses it. Toro FLIPS, but misses, and Uberforce pushes from the side. Toro breaks free and gets under the inverted wedge! OH! Uberforce almost out of the arena, but its right way up now and tries to get around the side of Toro. Toro misses a flip again, and Uberforce manages to get under and push it into the wall. Two evenly matched robots here! Toro gets away and turns around, but Uberforce backs away, into the corner! Toro gets under the side and ALMOST flips it out! Uberforce lucky to stay in there, and it turns to get under Toro and does so, pushing it towards the pit! Toro drives off the wedge, but Uberforce follows. They are dangerously close to the edge, both of them! Toro gets around the side and OH! Almost flips Uberforce over the pit! Uberforce gets under again and pushes it towards the angle grinder. No damage to Toro, though. Uberforce backs off and waits for Toro to come back! Toro is just sitting there. Sitting there. Sitting...there? Refbot comes in, but I think Toro is immobolised. Samuel cant do anything, but we know that Toro has been unreliable in the past! The flipper is working, but it wont be any use now. The Refbot begins to count it out!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Its all over for Samuel and the guys from Inertia Labs. Uberforce SLAMS into the side of Toro again and pushes it onto the drop zone! Theres a pile of wheels and tyres hanging from it.
3-2-1!
And down they come! One is caught on the bullhorns on Toros flipper. Uberforce pushes it towards the pit and down Toro goes!
Cease!
Toro is re-tyred!
Uberforce is into the grand final!
Next time, I might bring you two battles
The Hurting, the reigning Heavyweight champion goes up again newcomer BIACS-IS and Typhoon takes on Blizzard MW!
See you then
There are still six more spots in the grand final. But for now, we shall visit the next Heavyweight battle
From England, BIACS-IS!
Entered by Will. It is a pyramid with four lifting arms that when raised, reveal a very destructive spinning disc. It defeated 2nd Revenge of Black Death in the first round.
From England, The Hurting!
Entered by Joey. A box wedge with a petrol powered spinning disc and a rear kinetic flipper. It ripped Axeon 3.0 apart in the first round to get here.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
The Hurting still holds the title, but BIACS moves forward and raises its arms, revealing that spinning disc. The Hurting turns around and backs into the DISC! OH! Sparks fly! The Hurting was going to flip BIACS over, but the disc put a large GASH down the back of it! The Hurting turns as the arms lower, and Joey charges at BIACS! BIACS almost knocked over, but The Hurting keeps up the attack and OUCH! Something came off there! I think it was part of the armour of BIACS! It reveals the disc, and The Hurting backs into it! OHH! Sparks litter the floor and The Hurting is spun away, near the flame pit. BIACS arms are still raised and Will wants to come in for the kill, but The Hurting charges headlong again! The discs CRASH together and The Hurting is spun away, now fully over the flame pit! It gets away, but was any damage done to the petrol engine that powers the disc? BIACS arms close and The Hurting SMASHES into the side with the disc. It turns around to use the flipper again, and it RAMS BIACS into the wall! A good comeback by The Hurting, but its on the ropes here! Lifting BIACS up, but not over. BIACS crashes back down to earth and raises the arms. The Hurting backs into the disc again! OH! Another tear in the back of The Hurting! Joey turns around to use the disc again, but BIACS makes the first move and OUCH! The Hurting once again thrown to one side. BIACS comes back on the attack again. What a battle this is. The Hurting comes around the side and bashes into the arms, but they push The Hurting away. The Hurting backs off and goes for the pit release button, maybe it wants to push BIACS down there! BIACS approaches and CRASHES into the front of it! The Hurting is taking a beating! It backs into BIACS and pushes it over the flame pit! BIACS escapes, and The Hurting pursues! The disc, is it spinning? I dont think so! BIACS just off to one side, maybe Will senses The Hurting hasnt got too long a future in FRFFT? The Hurtings disc is definetly not working any more! The petrol engine has burned out, and now the flipper wont work! BIACS is on top here and it CRASHES into the side of The Hurting. Another gash! The last ten seconds count down. BIACSs arms lower and The Hurting pushes it into the wall! BIACS breaks free, but The Hurting pushes it towards the pit! Will BIACS go in...NO? It holds on until the end!
Cease!
What a right royal rumble that was. The judges will make their decision!
BIACS-IS: S: 2 C: 2 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 10
The Hurting: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 9
The Hurting loses its crown!
BIACS-IS goes through to the grand final!
Sorry Joey, but The Hurting did well to get this far!
Next up, Typhoon and Blizzard MW will fight. See you then
Unlucky Joey :)
Good fight Elliot :)
Last time, BIACS-IS defeated reigning Heavyweight Champion The Hurting to get into the grand final. Next up, Typhoon takes on Blizzard in the Middleweight competition
From England, Blizzard MW!
Entered by Alex H. It uses screws to move around, so it could be classed as a walking robot. It pushed Doom into the pit to get to the semi-finals!
From Edinburgh in Scotland, Typhoon!
Entered by Will H. The spinning shell is the weapon. It was flipped over by Purer, but knocked out its safety link, winning by a judges decision.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Blizzards unique style of mobility may come in handy here as Typhoon chases after it. Those four spinning blades on Typhoon have caused so much damage before, but Blizzard charges towards it! OH! Blizzard knocked away, but it regains control. Typhoon is still spinning, but Blizzard comes in again! WHAT was that that came off?! It might have been one of the spikes on Blizzard, but Alex isnt fazed and charges at Typhoon again! The shell of Typhoon has stopped spinning, and Blizzard pushes it into the CPZ! The screws arent doing much damage, theyre scratching the paintwork on Typhoon. Will and the staff from the RAF base in Edinburgh cant get away from Blizzards grasp, and Alex is still showing he is in control by pushing Typhoon towards the angle grinder! Typhoon knocked free and runs away to the pit release button. The shell isnt working any more, I think. Blizzard SLAMS into the side of Typhoon, though, at 17mph! That was a mighty attack by Blizzard, and Typhoon was almost knocked onto it side! Blizzard pushes it towards the CPZ and SMASHES it against the wall! Typhoon has caused little damage in this fight. Blizzard is doing all the work. One of the screws has stopped spinning on it, though. Blizzard lets it go, and Typhoon tries to push it around, but Blizzard gets away. A very complex robot, is Blizzard. The screws can make it go sideways if it wants to. OH! It rushes Typhoon and SLAMS it against the angle grinder again! The judges are looking on. The last ten seconds count down. Typhoon gets away, but Blizzard rams it from the side and pushes it towards the pit...OH! Typhoon manages to get away from the edge. It slams into Blizzard at the end.
Cease!
Not exactly a battle of weapons, but a battle of force. The judges still have to make a decision, though.
Blizzard MW: S: 2 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 9
Typhoon: S: 2 C: 1 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 6
It was close, but Blizzard is the winner!
See you later with Semi Final 2
Against Complete Control I will aim to use my superior speed and controllability to get to the side and flip it. It has no srimech, so once flipped its over and out. good luck
There have been many shocks so far, but how more will there be? Lets find out in FRFFT: Series Two: Semi Final Two!
First, the last Superheavyweight fight before the Grand Final. Vertigo will be taking on The Red Knight
From England, The Red Knight!
Entered by Alex. Its a box on wheels with a rotating turret on top, at the end of which is a scoop and a spinning flywheel. Superheavyweight 2nd Seed Ziggy was beaten to a pulp by this new robot that looks a favourite for the title.
From England, Vertigo!
Entered by Lewis. A six-wheel drive box wedge with a Co2 powered flipper. It pushed Cause and Effect into the pit to win the first round.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
The Red Knight makes the first move and charges at Vertigo, but Vertigo turns and gets under the side! OH! It avoids the turret and THROWS The Red Knight over! The Red Knight self-rights, but Vertigo takes advantage and FLIPS it again! Smashing The Red Knight into the wall! The Red Knight self-rights again and turns to face the side of Vertigo. Vertigo charges, but the turret of The Red Knight turns and Vertigo misses a flip! OUCH! The flywheel makes a massive TEAR down the side of Vertigo, and Lewis backs away. The Red Knight charges and SMASHES into the side again! Another gash! Vertigo turns and SLAMS into the back of The Red Knight! OH! It flips The Red Knight up, but not over! In fact, the spinning disc of The Red Knight DIGS into the arena floor! Vertigo flips again and The Red Knight is thrown over again! It self-rights, but Vertigo pushes it over the flame pit. No damage, though. The Red Knights turret turns to face the front of Vertigo. Vertigo backs away, but Alex gives chase! The turret is automatically powered by a sensor, but Vertigo manages to get under and flip The Red Knight again, but not over! Vertigo pushes it towards the wall and ALMOST flips it out! The Red Knight crashes back down to earth and OH! The turret turns into the front of Vertigo and the armour of Vertigo is buckled back a bit! The Red Knight SMASHES it again, and Vertigo is spun away! It recovers and tries to get around the back of The Red Knight, but the turret turns to face the back and it clips Vertigo. Another dent, but Vertigo gets a push from the other side and FLIPS The Red Knight into the pit release button! The Red Knight turns, but Vertigo pushes it...HA-HA! The disc rips the pit release button apart! Vertigo pushes The Red Knight into the arena wall. Another CRASH! Vertigo flips The Red Knight up, but not over. I think one of the teeth from The Red Knights disc is caught in the wall. The last ten seconds count down. The Red Knight cant get away, but Vertigo gets under and FLIPS! The Red Knight crashes back down, its free now, but it goes to the judges!
Cease!
A good fight. Lets see what the judges say.
The Red Knight: S: 2 C: 2 D: 3 A: 2 Total: 9
Vertigo: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 8
The Red Knight is the winner. Well done to Alex, he has TWO robots in the Grand Final.
Next up, Deadly Lampshade and Little Flipper 3!
See you then
Any more tactics
Welcome back. After a short break, FRFFT: Series Two: Semi Final Two has reached the last featherweight fight before the grand final. Who will meet Sith in the next round?
From Wales, Deadly Lampshade!
Entered by Daniel. It battered Isolation and sent it into the pit. The weapon is a spinning shell, but it has no scrimech.
From England, Little Flipper 3!
Entered by Paul. It threw Tidal Wave around to win on a judges decision. The weapon is a CO2 powered flipper.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Deadly Lampshade spins up, but Little Flipper goes straight for it! OH! Sparks fly, and Little Flipper is spun away! Its still working, and it comes in for another try. Deadly Lampshade hasnt been slowed down, but Paul comes in again and CRASHES into it! Something came off, but Deadly Lampshades shell was stopped in the process. Daniel runs away, but Little Flipper chases after it and GETS UNDER! OH! Deadly Lampshade ALMOST tipped over, but it crashes back down. Little Flipper is relentless and pushes it into the pit release button! Down it goes, but Deadly Lampshade gets away and spins up again. Little Flipper follows, but Deadly Lampshade hits it first! OUCH! The flipper has almost been buckled sideways! Deadly Lampshade comes in again and a GASH is made in the side of Little Flipper. It recovers, but Deadly Lampshade RAMS into it! Sparks fly! Another dent in the side of Little Flipper. Paul cant seem to do anything! Did that hit immobolise Little Flipper? I think so! Refbot comes in. Little Flipper is still moving on one side, but OH! Deadly Lampshade hit it from behind and AGAIN! Little Flipper pushed against the wall! Daniel really wants to hold onto the title! Little Flipper isnt moving any more. Its mobiliy has been greatly impaired, and Refbot comes in to count it out. It almost had it won, but Deadly Lampshade came back and is the winner!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Cease!
Little Flipper cut down to size!
Deadly Lampshade goes through!
The first two grand finals have been set up. This is how they look
Superheavyweights: Uberforce 2.0 VS The Red Knight
Featherweights: Sith VS Deadly Lampshade
See you later. If any tactics give me and idea of how the fights should be done out, I might get two done in the same go!
Well, with Sith I only need get one good attack in and then its over. Im not going to self right it after that, I dont like tempting fate lol.
As for Uberforce, avoid getting inbetween it and the anythign that might kill me, the weapon does its own work so beyond playing it defensively there isnt much I can do.
Welcome back to the semi-finals of FRFFT: Series Two. Next, Armoured Wedgie takes on Maleficent in a Heavyweight battle
From Wales, Maleficent!
Entered by Daniel. This box with a scoop and disc on the front beat Achilles in a judges decision. Itll be keeping the spinning disc for this battle
From England, Armoured Wedgie!
Entered by Lewis. It threw Nitro-Gene 5.0 out of the arena using its Co2 powered flipper.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Maleficent charges at Armoured Wedgie and tries to get around the side, but Armoured Wedgie turns first and FLIPS it over! Maleficent is invertible, so that wont effect it, but it cant get under anything. Armoured Wedgie tries to get under the upside down scoop, but Maleficent turns and tries to push from the side again. It does so, but Armoured Wedgie turns and THROWS Maleficent the right way up again! Maleficent recovers and now it RAMS into Lewiss robot and pushes it against the wall! Sparks fly from the disc, but Armoured Wedgie gets away. Maleficent comes in again! OH! Armoured Wedgie almost tipped over, but Maleficent got under anyway and pushed it into the pit release button! How much damage is the disc doing, though. A few scratches on the side of it, but nothing else. OH! And it flips Maleficent over again! And again! Maleficent gets away, but it is still upside down. Armoured Wedgie gives chase and tries to flip it, but Maleficent turns and SMASHES into the side, pushing Armoured Wedgie into the angle grinder! Armoured Wedgie gets away, but Maleficent rams into it again. Armoured Wedgie turns and THROWS Daniels robot over the right way up. Maleficent turns to use the scoop again, and it gets under Armoured Wedgie and pushes it into Refbot! Armoured Wedgie gets away from there, but Maleficent comes in from the back and OHH! Almost into the pit! Into the wall, Armoured Wedgie! It turns and flips Maleficent...INTO the pit! Its all over!
Cease!
Maleficent in the pit!
Armoured Wedgie goes into the next round!
Later on
Hyper-Ventilate VS Complete Control
From England, Hyper-Ventilate
This robot beat ROID in the first round to win. Lewis entered it. The weapon is a lifting arm between two wedges. The wheels are exposed, though.
From Canada, Complete Control!
Entered by Paul. It won a narrow fight with Hazard to win. The forklift hasnt been fully repaired, but well see what it can still do.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
The last battle before the Grand Final. Hyper-Ventilate turns to face away from Complete Control, but it charges and pushes Hyper-Ventilate across the arena. Lifting it up! The forks are working on Complete Control. Hyper-Ventilate falls off, upside down! It doesnt matter, it can work any way up. Complete Control turns, but now Hyper-Ventilates lifting arm gets under the side! Slowly, its lifted up and onto its side? No! Complete Control crashes back down. It presses the pit release button. Hyper-Ventilate pushes from the side and Complete Control lifted up again...and ONTO its top! Complete Control has been flipped over, and it hasnt got a self-righting mechanism! Hyper-Ventilate pushes it to face the pit, but Refbot comes in first.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Paul and Derek Young are out of FRFFT: Series Two! Hyper-Ventilate pushes them past the pit and onto the drop zone! Theres a TV hanging from it today!
3-2-1!
OH! The screen SHATTERS! Hyper-Ventilate pushes Complete Control back to face the pit and DOWN it goes!
Cease!
Hyper-Ventilate goes through to the next round!
Well done to Lewis.

FW: Sith VS Deadly Lampshade
MW: Blizzard MW VS Hyper-Ventilate
HW: Armoured Wedgie VS BIACS-S
SHW: Uberforce 2.0 VS The Red Knight

spin up, lift arms up, destroy. Not worried about flippers cause we can self right. just destroy destrory destroy.
Welcome to FRFFT: Series Two: The Grand Final!
We are left with 8 robots. First, Armoured Wedgie and BIACS-IS!
From England, Armoured Wedgie!
A wedge with a Co2 powered flipper. It flipped Nitro-Gene 5.0 out of the arena in Round One, and then flipped Maleficent into the pit in Round Two. It was entered by Lewis!
From England, BIACS-IS!
It battered 2nd Revenge of Black Death in Round One, and then destroyed The Hurting in Round Two. It is a pyramid with four arms that when lifted, reveal a spinning disc. It was entered by Will.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Armoured Wedgie needs to avoid that spinning disc of BIACS-IS, which raises its arms. That disc has caused so much damage. Armoured Wedgie charges...but BIACS-IS backs away. Armoured Wedgie follows it and the arms on BIACS close! OH! Armoured Wedgie FLIPS it onto its side! BIACS self-rights, but Armoured Wedgie pushes into it again and FLIPS it onto the flame pit! BIACS recovers and its arms come up again. It charges at Armoured Wedgies side AND OUCH! A gash down the side of Armoured Wedgie! Armoured Wedgie turns to face Wills robot, but it comes in again and SOMETHING comes off! It was probably superficial, but Armoured Wedgie, who was on top at the beginning, might be heading out, here. OH! BIACS smashes into the back of Armoured Wedgie and the armour has a SPLIT in it! Armoured Wedgie turns and gets under, but it misses BIACS and flips at thin air! Sparks fly as BIACSs disc clips Armoured Wedgie on the side, another piece of metal flies off! BIACS closes its arms and presses the pit release button, but Armoured Wedgie comes in and FLIPS it ALMOST out of the arena! That was close! OH! BIACSs arms opened and Armoured Wedgie went into the disc. A small gash in the wedge, but both of them are dangerously close to the pit. OUCH! BIACS whacks Armoured Wedgie in the back again! The back armour looks loose! And again! Armoured Wedgie is facing the pit, but it cant get away. OH! BIACS smashed into it and that time, Armoured Wedgie was pushed over the pit! Its lost drive on one side, and...OHH! Another whack and it crashes into the pit! A few bolts fall off, but its all over for Armoured Wedgie! What a fight!
Cease!
Armoured Wedgie stripped down!
BIACS-IS is the Heavyweight Champion!
Well done to BIACS-IS!
Next up: Hyper-Ventilate VS Blizzard MW
Well Id like to know how it even got to my sides.. but meh
Sorry, Lewis
Wooooohooooooooooo! :D
Unlucky Lewis, congrats for putting up a good fight :)
Welcome back to the Grand Final of Series Two of FRFFT. So far, BIACS-IS became the heavyweight champion by pushing Armoured Wedgie into the pit. Next, we have two middleweight robots: Blizzard MW and Hyper-Ventilate.
From England, Blizzard MW!
Entered by Alex. It uses two screws to move around, and can even go sideways with them. It pushed Doom into the pit in the first round, then beat Typhoon on a judges decision in the semi-final. Not much damage from it yet, though.
From England, Hyper-Ventilate!
Entered by Lewis, this robot is two wedges with a lifting arm in the middle. It beat ROID on a judges decision, then pushed Complete Control into the pit in the last round. The wheels are exposed, though.
3-2-1: Activate!
Hyper-Ventilate charges straight at Blizzard, but it gets away, sideways, I should add. Now Alex charges at the front, but Hyper-Ventilate raises its arm and Blizzard rides up the front, allowing Hyper-Ventilate to push it around, but Blizzard falls off. Hyper-Ventilate tries to get around the back of Blizzard to push it, but Blizzard gets away again. It turns around, and Hyper-Ventilate gets the arm under the side, but once again, Blizzards odd design allows it to get away. Now it rams into the side of Hyper-Ventilate and pushes it into the angle grinder! Hyper-Ventilate tries to drag itself away, but Blizzard gets under. No damage caused, though as it pushes Hyper-Ventilate into the CPZ! Hyper-Ventialte gets away to the centre of the arena. Blizzard follows, but Hyper-Ventilate manages to get to it before it can react and lifts it up from the front! Blizzard falls off, but Hyper-Ventilate gets under with the wedges, only for Alex to escape again. Hyper-Ventilate turns and tries to get under it again, but Blizzard comes in and pushes it into the corner. Hyper-Ventilate lifts itself up, but Blizzard gets under it and the front screws could cause some damage to it, but at the moment, its still OK, Hyper-Ventilate. OH! It gets overturned by the rotational force of the screws! Against the wall, but it uses the arm to bring it back into the fight. OUCH! Blizzard came in with another charge there! Hyper-Ventilate escapes, but Blizzard gets around from the sides and pushes it into Refbot! Hyper-Ventilate overturned again, and Blizzard pushes it into the pit release button! Hyper-Ventilate self-rights, and it tries to stop the screws with the arm, but Blizzard is too powerful! The last ten seconds count down! Blizzard pushes one way, but Hyper-Ventilate is holding its ground still! The judges will have to decide! Blizzard on top at the end, I think.
Cease!
The judges go into the arena and look over the robots. They have a big decision to make here.
Blizzard MW: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10
Hyper-Ventilate: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 1 Total: 6
The FRFFT: Series Two Middleweight Champion is Blizzard! Well done to Alex!

Sorry I havent been updating it, but things have been happening at home
Welcome back to FRFFT: Series Two: The Grand Final! Next, we have the superheavyweight final, with UberForce 2.0 and The Red Knight, two newcomers
From England, The Red Knight!
Entered by Alex. This robot is a box with a turret on top, at the end of which is a scoop and a spinning disc. It beat 2nd seed Ziggy and Vertigo to get here.
From England, Uberforce 2.0!
Entered by AJ. A ramming robot like Storm II, it pushed Shrederator Supreme into the pit and immobolised Toro to get into the final.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
The Red Knights disc might be too high to combat Uberforce, but Uberforce tries to get around the side. The turret, powered by a sensor device, turns to face AJs robot, but it gets under and...The Red Knight falls off the front! It turns around with the disc and Uberforce...OH! Sparks fly as the disc hits the front wedge of Uberforce. Two great newcomers here! The Red Knights turret turns to face the side again, but Uberforce RAMS into it anyway! Sparks fly again, and The Red Knight gets away. Uberforce turns around and before The Red Knights turret turns to face it, it pushes Alex into the pit release button! The Red Knight rebounds off the wall and turns around to face the PIT! Ohh, that was close! Uberforce crashes into the front again, but this time the turret pushes it aside! Thats the defensive weapon of The Red Knight, the offensive weapon is the disc. So far, it hasnt caused any damage though. Uberforce gets under the side and pushes The Red Knight over to the pit! OHHH! ALMOST in, The Red Knight. The disc hits Uberforce on the side this time, and a slight gash is caused! These two are dancing very close to defeat here! Uberforce takes another hit from the disc, but with 6 wheels, it is more powerful than The Red Knight in pushing power, I would imagine. The Red Knight gets away and the turret turns to face Uberforce as it CRASHES into it again! Sparks fly, but still, no damage to the front of Uberforce. A few scratches, but now Uberforce is under the back and OUCH! It pushes The Red Knight into the wall! The Red Knight recovers and turns to face AJ again, but Uberforce looks like its trying to lure The Red Knight towards the pit again. The Red Knight charges at it, but Uberforce gets under the scoop and pushes The Red Knight over the flame pit. The Red Knight gets RAMMED into the angle grinder, now! Sparks fly, but no damage. Uberforce pushes The Red Knight into the CPZ. The turret on it turns around again and the disc clips Uberforce on the front again. A good battle so far. Very little damage on both robots, it would seem as the last ten seconds count down. The Red Knight crashes into Uberforce again, but Uberforce pushes it towards the pit! Will it get it in...NOO! The Red Knight dangling over the edge, but time is up!
Cease!
A good battle from both robots. Uberforce finishing strong at the end, but its up to the judges now.
Uberforce 2.0: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10
The Red Knight: S: 3 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 8
The Red Knight is dismounted from its horse!
Uberforce 2.0 is the winner!
Well done to AJ!
Next, its the awards. Any votes?
Hope the fight was OK. Very sorry if it wasnt.
