Anyway w00t, quick work there. :P
Eternia VS ISRRNY
'Fraid my last round partner is going out here, probably via OOTA.
Monolith VS Intriguous (1)
Monolith is really about its armour, and not too much more. At the least I am about as powerful as it if not more. Open the pit, scoop Monolith up, clamp it with the axe (don't use the axe to actually damage, it won't do anything :P), and send it into the pit. Simple as.
Oh my gosh...
Did I just make it through a round 1 fight?
WOOT!!!!
Anyways:
ISRRNY vs Eternia: From what I can tell, Eternia is essentially a more-armoured version of Gravity. In that case, get around to the back of Leo's machine, and keep shoving it forward, axing holes in the HDPE along the way. If I can pit it, then do so. If I can shove him into a house robot, do so, then press the pit release button and keep shoving him around and eventually pit him. Do not let him get under me, and do not go near his front.
Eternia VS ISRRNY
Justine (new pit reporter): I€™m in the pits with Leo Van Miert and his robot, Eternia. Do you know who you€™re up against?
Leo: I think I know€¦ oh wait a minute. No I don€™t. :proud:
Justine: Haha. All right, you€™re up against ISRRNY. How do you feel about that?
Leo: Well, if I avoid the hammer, I think I€™ll be all right. I think I have a good chance. What I€™ll do is flip it out of the arena ASAP.
Justine: All right then, best of luck.
Leo: Thank you.
Justine: Mark, this just in, you€™re up against Eternia.
Mark: Erm€¦ well, it might be pretty difficult, because Eternia is an extremely good robot, and it almost won Eye of the Robot 3.
Justine: Mkay, tactics?
Mark: Axe it into submission, do a lot of pushing and just hope for the best.
Justine: Best of luck.
Mark: Thank you.

ETERNIA!!!
ISRRNY!!!
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Leo Van Miert
Booth 2: Mark Elam
Mindbender! Sgt. Bash! These house robots have an appetite for destruction!
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
Eternia, first to move, quickly chases ISRRNY, but ISRRNY is quick to turn, and crashes into the side of Eternia! Now, it brings the axe down!
WHACK!!!
OH! The 40mm HDPE is dented, and that will probably score points for Mark if it goes to a judge€™s decision, but wait! Eternia gets underneath the side skirts somehow and flips Mark€™s machine over!
FLIP!!!
ISRRNY soars 10ft up into the air and comes crashing down with a thud back onto its wheels! ISRRNY retalitates immediately, and comes crashing into Eternia€™s rear, and now the axe can come down!
WHACK!!!
The axe makes another dent in the armour, there! Good attack by ISRRNY, I must say. Eternia, however, is oblivious to the axe attack, and continues fighting back! Now, Eternia chases ISRRNY, and gets underneath! Now, Eternia pushes the axebot into Mindbender! ISRRNY tries to get away, but€¦
CRASH!!!!!
OH!!! The 4mm titanium skirts are ripped away! ISRRNY drives away, and presses the pit button! The pit goes down and ISRRNY slams into Eternia and tries to push it into the pit, but Eternia refuses to go down, and gets away! Now Eternia chases ISRRNY and gets underneath the sides! It now carries Mark€™s machine closer to the wall and FLIPS!
FLIP!!!
OH!!! Eternia flips another robot completely out of the arena! Now, celebrating its victory, Leo smiles slyly and drives Eternia towards Sgt Bash! Sgt Bash tries getting away€â€
FLIP!
-- and Sgt Bash is flipped over! Refbot gives Eternia a yellow card, and Leo does not like that one bit! Eternia charges towards the Refbot and carries it towards the wall!
FLIP!
ZOMG! The flip sends Refbot flying out! Now I€™ve seen everything and Mark is laughing at the sight of the house robots getting absolutely humiliated! Gallant contender, indeed!
CEASE!
ISRRNY€™s big axe couldn€™t save it from being flipped out.
Eternia goes through to the Heat A Final!
(* * *)
Monolith VS Intriguous
Justine: I€™m here in the pits once again with Andrew Jackson himself. So Monolith is up against Seed #1, Intriguous.
AJ: Well, I don€™t really know if I could beat it, but I€™d like to give it my best shot.
Justine: What are your tactics going to be?
AJ: I think I€™ll ram it into submission and drag it to the house robots and pit, hopefully.
Justine: All right, good luck.
AJ: Thank you.
Justine: I€™m here with Kody Kunz now, and Intriguous is up against€¦ Monolith!
Kody: Well, the thing to remember here, is that Intriguous has a powerful drive system with a couple of LEM-130 motors, and hopefully with this big axe, it can snag a wheel hole, and drag it into the pit, or even better, puncture a wheel.
Justine: That looks like a pretty dangerous axe.
Kody: It is indeed. Powered by CO2, and it shoots about 15 times per battle, which should hopefully be enough. So what I€™ll do, is grab hold of it with the axe and drag it into the pit. Since I came 2nd last year, I am pretty sure that I€™ve got this battle in the bag.
Justine: All right then, best of luck.
Kody: Ta.
(BATTLE 4!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome€¦
MONOLITH!!!
INTRIGUOUS!!!
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Andrew Jackson
Booth 2: Kody Kunz
House Robot 1: She€™s got a 27kg flywheel, and front tusks to flip victims. House Robot 2: HUGE hammer. Need I say more? That€™s right, it€™s Matilda and Head Smash!
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
And off we go. Monolith is by far the fastest with a top speed of 18mph, meanwhile Intriguous has 12mph. Monolith tries getting underneath Intriguous, but Intriguous gets away. Now, Intriguous chases, and the axe comes blasting down on Monolith!
WHACK!!!
€¦and Monolith comes out unscathed in spite of the hardox armour! Monolith now pushes Intriguous into the pit button, and the pit goes down! This would be an extreme stunner if last year€™s runner up went out here, but Intriguous tries to prove that wrong, and it fights back by getting underneath Monolith€™s side somehow, and grabbing hold of it tightly with the axe! Now Intriguous pushes Monolith right into the capable flywheel of Matilda!
CRASH!!!
The 7075 aluminium skirt is totally wrenched out of shape! But no damage is caused to Monolith€™s armour whatsoever. Monolith is doing well thus far, and now it€™s pushing Intriguous into the wall! Oof! That€™s got to hurt, but now, Intriguous is completely unaware of the attack and gets under Monolith! Now, Monolith is being carried closer to the pit! Can Intriguous finish the job€â€YES! It€™s all over in less than a minute!
CEASE!
Monolith has been struck down.
Intriguous goes through to the Heat A Final!
Heat A Final
Eternia VS Intriguous
Tactics, Predictions, and a 70€™s Music record please. :proud:
It's a shame Eternia has come up against Intriguous this early... the seed to go through via a JD or maybe a pitting. The HDPE armour is too thick for him to win by a KO in my opinion.
Seeing as Eternia flipped out a clone of Intriguer, it has a good chance against Intriguous...
w00t again, soz AJ good fight though, I'll buy you some Magner's. :proud:
Intriguous (1) vs. Eternia
Very very thick HDPE...won't completely get through it but I'll puncture it enough to grapple hold. My manoeuvrability should be much greater than his as well. If flipped (not using the wheel covers, so I'll be invertible) get away before self-righting with the axe. The main tactic will be to grapple 'n' pit ASAP.
Good luck Leo.
for me kodys bot will WIN (no thats not me moaning from going out early on)
in other words
hey whoever has brutalis 2.1 wanna team up against SOTAR
um ok why not :proud:
cheers mate
this,ll also mean that hammer and nails can SURVIVE THIS ROUND lol
Eternia VS Intriguous
Justine: Well, Leo, you are up against a very strong competitor, Intriguous. It came 2nd last year. Do you think you can beat it?
Leo: Uh€¦ I could have a good chance, but I could be wrong.
Justine: Okay, any tactics?
Leo: I€™ll try to flip it out ASAP. It can€™t be any easier.
Justine: All right, good luck.
Leo: Thank you.
Justine: Right Kody, you are last year€™s runner up and the 2nd Seeds. That seeding is on the line. Can you beat Eternia?
Kody: I have no fear, so yes, I can.
Justine: That€™s the spirit! So, any tactics?
Kody: I€™m planning to take the wheel covers off, so Intriguous can run inverted. As for tactics€¦ well, I€™ll axe it to hell, maybe?
Justine: You reckon you can do it?
Kody: Probably, and then I€™ll dump it into the pit or something.
Justine: All right, good luck.
Kody: Yup.
(In the commentary booth€¦)
Dan: Well, a great way to start off the series and it has been a blast. We€™ve got two robots, all armed to the teeth for tonight€™s heat final. However, there can be only one winner tonight. Quite a big match-up, indeed, eh, Sam?
Sam: Quite true, Dan, because Eternia almost won Eye of the Robot 3, but Intriguous won the PTT: Regeneration tourney. Also, since Intriguous is slightly more faster, I think it will drive the victory home. What do you think?
Dan: Well, I think I would have to agree, because you saw how Intriguous beat legendary flippers like Achilles in PTT: Regeneration, so the same thing might happen here.
Sam: Well, we will see what happens. Anyways€¦
Dan and Sam: LET THE HEAT FINAL BEGIN!
(HEAT FINAL!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome€¦
ETERNIA!!!
INTRIGUOUS!!!
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Leo Van Miert
Booth 2: Kody Kunz
Gorgon and Sir Killalot are rocking the house in this battle!
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
Both of these robots are highly experienced. Eternia came 4th in Eye of the Robot 3 and Intriguous also won the latest edition of PTT. Now, both robots got a bead on each other, and Intriguous, a little nippier, gets underneath the side of Eternia and rams it into the wall and fires its axe!
WHACK!
A dent is made in the 4cm HDPE, and that will score Intriguous points if this battle goes to a judge€™s decision. However, Eternia retaliates, and gets under the side skirts of Intriguous somehow, and carries it to the wall!
FLIP!!
Last year€™s runner-up bounces off the wall and gets back into the arena, just barely! My heart was just pounding like a jackrabbit! Kody sighs a sigh of relief, as he drives Intriguous into the pit button, and Intriguous gets underneath the sides of Eternia again, and feeds it to the CPZ where Gorgon is! Now, Gorgon just slams into Eternia, and down come the crusing fangs, but not really causing much damage. Not more than a dent is seen in Eternia€™s armour. Now, Eternia fights back angrily at Intriguous as it tries to get underneath the side of last year€™s runner up. Now it carries Intriguous into the wall!
FLIP!
Oh, and just barely surviving again! Undoubtedly fantastic defense there by Intriguous indeed! Now, Intriguous is just slamming into the side of Eternia, and now it gets and underneath, fires its axe and carries it towards the pit! Eternia tries to get away but€¦ BOOM! Too late; it€™s over! Intriguous proves worthy of the first seeding and wins the heat!
CEASE!
Eternia is not eternal, it's dead. :proud:
INTRIGUOUS GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI FINALS!!!
Next Time in Heat B: The 3rd Seed, Clawdius tries to defend its seeding against five more carnage-hungry robots!
Hannibal VS Shadow Assassin VS Tazbot
Fluffy VS Assegai VS E Clawdius Unum (3)
Tactics, Predictions and a box of crackers please.
Sam: Our second heat, and it€™s time for some action. Last heat, the runner-up of last year, Intriguous slammed and axed its way to win the heat, and the 3rd seeds, Clawdius returns! So are you ready to crank up the carnage!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: All right then! LET THE WAAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!!!
Dan: Tonight€™s heat will bring the 3rd seeds, Clawdius, who took quite a beating in the 3rd Place Playoff by Tira 3 last year, but just remember, if Clawdius bites, it won€™t let go until it reaches the pit of doom. There are also 5 more power-hungry robots aiming to take Clawdius down! So, without further ado, let€™s get on with Round 1!
(BATTLE 1!!!)
From Hoogvilet in Holland, Hannibal!
Looks like Chaos 2€™s twin brother! Its drive is 24V Litton Motors, and its weapon is a giant flipper, that will surely give robots some big air-time! However, its armour is 7075 aluminium and titanium which is not too bad, but it€™s not the most resilient.
From England, Shadow Assassin!
Shadow Assassin has got only one thing in mind: to destroy everything and anything in its path with a nice sword blade that is powered by a S28-150 Magmotor @ 24v, and on the back it€™s got a deadly vertical spinner to rip other robots. However, it has somewhat high ground clearance other than the front.
From San Diego, California, Tazbot!
Tazbot is a very strange and cool-looking robot, with a huge lifter on the front that is mounted onto some sort of 360 degree turret thing, and it can self-right easily, as well. However, it IS one of the oldest robots here€¦
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Leo Van Miert, Lewis Matthews
Booth 2: Tracy Farber
Today€™s house robots will be Napoleon Botaparte with the huge rammer and Mr. Psycho with the huge hammer. :proud:
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
The three robots are off to a quick start, and Hannibal already flips over Tazbot with a quick push of a button, but Tazbot self-rights using the turret and lifting arm. Now, there€™s Shadow Assassin now, with the sword blade. Interesting dustpan shaped design there, now it€™s scooping up Tazbot! It brings the sword down immediately with massive force!
WHACK!
The armour is not too heavily damaged, just a little gash, and now, Hannibal comes In and recklessly flips Tazbot again! It tries getting away, but€¦
FLIP!
Tazbot soars 9 feet up into the air and comes down with a horrible thud back onto its wheels! I can feel that from where I am! Now, Tazbot tries getting away, but Hannibal carries Tazbot and pushes it into Shadow Assassin€™s rear cutting blades! Now, sparks fly, and there are scratches and dents in the armour! That is just too horrifying to watch, but now, Tazbot tries fighting back, by getting Shadow Assassin in the rear, and lifting! Now, will Shadow Assassin go over? No, it does not, thankfully. Shadow Assassin comes down again, and now, it scoops up Tazbot with the wedge and rams that serrated sword down!
WHACK!
Now that€™s a big hit! The armour has more dents, and now, Tazbot gets away from Shadow Assassin, but not from Hannibal, as it drags the former Battlebots semi-finalist into-- OH NO! NOT MR. PSYCHO!!!!
BANG!
OH! Mr. Psycho€™s mighty hammer comes blasting down on Tazbot and the lifting arm is totally bent! Not a good day for Tazbot here€¦ and now, finally Hannibal carries it towards the wall, and tosses it over and out! Shall we, Leo?
FA-LIP!!!
CEASE!
Tazbot is beaten the daylights out of it. Can you say, OUCH? :(
Hannibal and Shadow Assassin go through to Round 2!
Sam: One robot gone, and another to be executed in the next battle!
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Middlesex, Fluffy!
Yes, Fluffy by name, but it€™s never to be underestimated. The spinner is absolutely deadly, and it€™s also nippy around the arena floor, as well. However, it suffered a number of breakdowns, so it might as well get the catnip here.
From Bedford, Assegai!
Assegai is a box shaped robot with a really strange weapon that can€™t REALLY be described. It€™s sort of a battering ram powered by 12 cables, and this can cause internal damage rather than external. However, it may be difficult to control, and it€™s invertible so its wheels are exposed from the top.
From Glasgow, Scotland, and Seeded #3, E Clawdius Unum!
Clawdius returns, all fixed from last year, where it took a severe beating from Tira in the 3rd Place Playoff, but it€™s still got the lethal crusher and the barbs to snag and crush other robots. This could be a thrilling experience for Emperor Clawdius if it goes all the way again.
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Jack Orr, Matt Fowler
Booth 2: Steve McGregor
The Housies in this battle will be Mangled Metal and Matilda, the gruesome twosome.
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
Here we go, as E Clawdius Unum immediately chases Fluffy. Now, Fluffy spins up, and the blade comes into contact with E Clawdius Unum€™s hardox armour!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly, but no real damage is caused to the armour€¦ and Assegai comes out from nowhere, and crashes into Fluffy! Now, it activates the battering ram, which sends Fluffy crashing into the wall! Oof! That€™s going to leave a mark, and now, Fluffy gets away and spins up, and it tries to crash into the side of Clawdius, but Clawdius turns and gets underneath Fluffy! Now, it sinks its deadly crushing beak into the armour of Fluffy, and Fluffy€™s spinning blade keeps on spinning somehow! Now, Clawdius hoists Fluffy into the air so effortlessly, and drags it into the pit button! But Clawdius loses its grip on Fluffy, and it comes back down and gets away from Clawdius, but not from Assegai! Assegai pushes Fluffy right into Mangled Metal!
CRASH!!!!
Never underestimate the power of the ring spinner, I always say! :wink: Fluffy is spun into unconsciousness, and loses some armour as well. I think Fluffy is finished, here. It€™s stopped moving, and its blade has also stopped working. The Refbot counts Fluffy out!
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦ 8€¦ 9€¦ 10!!!
Now, for the finishing touches, Matilda€™s rear flywheel smacks into Fluffy!
CRASH!!!
€¦ and that€™s it. Fluffy tumbles right into the pit!
CEASE!
Fluffy turns out to be a harmless kitten.
Assegai and E Clawdius Unum goes through to Round 2!
Draws for Next Round
Hannibal VS Assegai
Shadow Assassin VS E Clawdius Unum
Tactics, Predictions and a new guitar please. :proud:
Shadow Assassin's discs are actually at the front, housed in the 2 front wedges that are either side of the dustpan. Other than that great fights Samuel :)
Tactics:
E Clawdius Unum - not the draw I wanted :( Still, I think I have a moderate chance in this round, as I'm really not an easy bot to grab. The dustpan could well be lower than him, we'll just have to wait and see there. However the main point here is my sword - its 35cm long than my robot body and the surface area rule means I should get under the middle of his front wedge with it and be able to lift him without him getting anywhere near me. Once the sword is in underneath, lift and flip him over quickly. However, don't lower the arm. Instead drive in and get him on the dustpan, using the sword not to damage but to clamp down and stop him from self-righting. Then take him to the pit ASAP.
I think Hannibal will win the other fight :)
Good luck Steve! :)
Hannibal VS Assegai
Justine: Right, Leo, you are up against€¦ Assegai!
Leo: Assegai, eh? Well, it does have a dangerous battering ram, but I think I€™ll have a good chance against it€¦ hopefully.
Justine: Mkay, tactics?
Leo: Er€¦ I€™ll flip it out, and take on the house robots.
Justine: All right then, good luck.
Leo: Thank you.
Justine: Matt, I€™ve got breaking news. You are up against Hannibal!
Matt: Oh crap. :lame: I think I€™m doomed. Hannibal is the Chaos 2 lookalike, isn€™t it?
Justine: Yup, it is.
Matt: I was afraid of that. :proud: Well, maybe I will just try to push it everywhere and use the battering ram as much as needed, but I don€™t know if it will work, because Hannibal is a really tough opponent.
Justine: All right, good luck.
Matt: Thank you.
( * * * )
Sam: Well, they€™ve gone through hell and back, but now things REALLY start to heat up! LET ROUND 2 BEGIN!!!
(BATTLE 3!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome€¦
HANNIBAL!!!
ASSEGAI!!!
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Leo Van Miert
Booth 2: Matt Fowler
House Robot 1: With a hammer so strong, it could bash the skull of robots and get their brains right out in literally one hit. House Robot 2: A big robotic dog with a huge bite which is way worse than its bark. You guessed it, Head Smash and Growler!
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
So, Assegai immediately lunges at Hannibal, trying to get around its side to bash the battering ram in. Now, Hannibal immediately turns itself and gets underneath Assegai!
FLIP!
Hannibal flips over Assegai onto its back, and now, Assegai fights back by charging at Hannibal€™s side and poking it with the battering ram, and€â€OH! The attack sends Hannibal crashing into the wall! That€™s got to hurt indeed, but Hannibal is oblivious to the attack, and gets underneath Assegai again!
FLIP!
Assegai flies and comes back down with a stomach-wrenching thud! That flipper is very formidable, indeed; Hannibal could be the one to watch in this tournament. Assegai is a good robot as well; it€™s got that unique weapon, good speed and maneuverability. Now, it just slams into Hannibal and fires the ram, and it sends Hannibal into Growler! Hannibal€â€uh oh, it€™s gotten underneath Growler!
FLIP!
€¦ and the audience goes ballistic as Growler goes over on it€™s back! Leo must love those house robots, indeed! Now, Leo goes after Assegai again, and gets underneath! It carries it to the wall, and€â€
FLIP!
That€™s it! Hannibal throws another robot out of the arena, well done to Leo for awesome driving!
CEASE!
Assegai is annihilated.
Hannibal goes through to the Heat B Final!
-----------------------------------------------------
Justine: All right, here€™s Lewis with Shadow Assassin! Do you know who you are up against?
Lewis: Uh€¦ oh no. I€™ve got a bad feeling about this. Is it E Clawdius Unum?
Justine: Yes, you ARE up against Clawdius.
Lewis: Argh. I had to ask. But anywho, it IS a hard opponent, but it€™s certainly not IMPOSSIBLE to beat it. So, I€™ll try my best to use the €œflip€™n clamp€ tactic.
Justine: €¦and what is the €œflip€™n clamp tactic€�
Lewis: Well, this sword can hack and flip at the same time, so once I€™ve flipped it over I€™ll clamp it down hard, so it can€™t escape or self right. When that happens I€™ll quickly rush it towards the pit.
Justine: Well, hopefully it will work. Good luck.
Lewis: Yeah, thanks.
Justine: Hey Steve, the draw has been made and you are up against the rookie known as Shadow Assassin!
Steve: Well, I came fourth last year, but it looks like a tough opponent, indeed.
Justine: Yes, and Lewis did say that he€™ll use the flip and clamp tactic on Clawdius.
Steve: Yeah, but just remember, Clawdius has 4WD and a deadly crusher. So, hopefully this will be a good fight, and I will get under it before it gets under me, and rush it into the pit.
Justine: All right then, good luck.
Steve: Ta.

Booth 2: Steven McGregor
House Robots: Shunt and Mangled Metal€¦ ready and armed to take bots out of their misery. :proud:
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
Shadow Assassin has that sword to hack up the opponent, but remember, Clawdius is the more experienced here, it came fourth last year. Shadow Assassin, now gets underneath the skirts of Clawdius, and€¦ whoa! It almost flipped over Clawdius that time! Now, Clawdius is fighting back, with the front static forks, and now, it gets underneath the back of Shadow Assassin, and it brings the crusher down! Now, it rams Shadow Assassin into the pit button! This could end here€¦ BUT WAIT! Clawdius eases its grip on Shadow Assassin and it escapes! What an interesting turn of events! Shadow Assassin immediately gets underneath the skirts of Clawdius again, lifting€¦ and flipping it! Now, Shadow Assassin tries to get underneath again, but Clawdius self-rights just in the nick of time! Now, Clawdius slams into Shadow Assassin€™s side skirts somehow, and clamps it! It drags Shadow Assassin into the capable spinning ring of Mangled Metal!
CRASH!!!!
OH! The side skirt is totally bent! That€™s trouble for Shadow Assassin, there! Now, Clawdius lets go of Shadow Assassin and now it fights back! Clawdius is in trouble, as it gets lifted up into the air by Shadow Assassin€™s lifting sword! Now, Shadow Assassin has flipped over Clawdius, and Clawdius is being dragged towards the pit, but it self-rights again, and escapes somehow! Great defence by the 3rd seeds there! Now Clawdius and Shadow Assassin chases each other around, and now, Shadow Assassin gets underneath again, and flips the 3rd Seeds over again, and Clawdius is in trouble but it self-rights and escapes barely! Now, it fights back, and Clawdius gets underneath the bent skirt of Shadow Assassin, and drags it towards the pit€¦ Now, will Shadow Assassin go down? YES! The 3rd Seeds proves itself worthy of its seeding!
CEASE!
Shadow Assassin came, saw, but didn€™t conquer.
E Clawdius Unum goes through to the Heat B Final!!!
HEAT B FINAL
Hannibal VS E Clawdius Unum
Tactics, Predictions, and a set of pencils please. :lame:
I think I'm losing popularity again :lol:
hey sam i think hannilbal might win this
as for tactics on heat c (i have ripper evo) im teaming up with marks d3 in a tag team oota (me and mark already
disscussed the on a earlier page
Yeah... We'll easily flip N3 OOTA if weteam up on him.
Justine: All right, Leo, you are in the heat final again. Can you beat Clawdius?
Leo: Uh... no? (Laughs) But I'll try my best anyway. If Hannibal can get under its skirts then I could flip it out ASAP, but I doubt that will happen.
Justine: Mkay, tactics?
Leo: Yeah, Hannibal will flip Clawdius out, and take on the house robots.
Justine: You love taking on the house bots, don't you?
Leo: No, I wouldn't say that, but I just have a tendency to do that sometimes. :proud:
Justine: Haha. :proud: All right, good luck.
Leo: Yeah, thanks. I'll definitely need it.
Justine: Right Steve, your third seeding is on the line, can you beat Hannibal?
Steve: Absolutely. Hannibal is a Chaos 2 lookalike, and if memory serves me right, Razer actually beat Chaos 2 in Robot Wars. Also, Clawdius has got skirts all around which makes it hard to get under, and it's beaten some good flippers like GeForce, so hopefully, it will get the victory.
Justine: All right, what is your tactic?
Steve: Just grab and pit, that's the main thing to do really, and I'll also try to penetrate through the armour and get the CO2 tank blown up...
Justine: All right then, good luck.
Steve: Like I need it. :P
Justine: Hahahaha! :proud:
(In the Commentary Booth)
Dan: So, Clawdius and Hannibal are two very good robots, indeed. They've come this far into the competition, but I think if Hannibal can get underneath Clawdius it would have a chance. However, Clawdius has got the crushability factor, and also the barbs to snag other robot's wheel holes. Also, Clawdius has beaten one of the mighty flippers, GeForce, in the past as well. So, quite a difficult decision for me to make here. But anyway, let's go and see which bot reigns supreme.
Sam: So, it all comes down to this. We've reached the climax of the heat... THE HEAT FINAL!!!
(HEAT FINAL!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome...
HANNIBAL!!!
Driven by Leo Van Miert, this machine looks amazing indeed, but will it survive the crushing factor?
E CLAWDIUS UNUM!!!
One word for this machine. DEVASTATING. The crushing beak is absolutely lethal. Very good machine, this.
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: Leo Van Miert
Booth 2: Steve McGregor
Sparks fly and robots die with King Arthur and Sgt. Bash in this battle!
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Two very good robots here, duking it out. Now, don't forget E Clawdius Unum's encounter with GeForce last year, where it beat GeForce by blowing up the CO2 tank, but hey! Look at this, Hannibal gets underneath the side of Clawdius somehow, and flips it over! Clawdius self-rights, and fights back! It now gets underneath the side of Hannibal, and immediately brings the crushing beak down, and it crunches through the armour! Ah, man, destruction already in the war zone, how lovely. BUT WAIT! Hannibal escapes with one side crunched, and now Hannibal gets underneath Clawdius again and carries it to the wall!
FLIP!!!
The 3rd Seed... just barely hangs on for dear life! Now, Clawdius bounces back into the arena with a thump, and my heart almost stopped that time, but Clawdius comes back to fight another day! Great defense, there! Now, both robots begin to chase each other around, and Hannibal gets underneath again and it carries Clawdius to the wall and FLIPS!!!
FLIP!!!
Again, Clawdius survives the attack for a second time! A great defense there by the 3rd seeds! Clawdius self-rights immediately. Both robots chase each other around again, and now it's Hannibal getting underneath the side skirts and flipping Clawdius! A great flip there by Hannibal, but Clawdius is oblivious to the attack! It rights itself immediately and goes after Hannibal! Clawdius chases and gets underneath Hannibal right now, and it crunches down again on its side! Hannibal fires its flipper and tries to escape but it can't seem to do so! Its wheels are turning, but it can't get away, due to the fact Clawdius's beak has grabbed hold of it tightly in its clutches and hoists it up in the air so effortlessly. Now, it drags Hannibal towards the pit button, and I assume it wants to end it already, but no! Hannibal gets away from the clutches of Clawdius somehow, and now it gets underneath again! Now Leo presses the flipper button, and Clawdius is flipped onto its side! Now, Clawdius is getting nudged towards the pit by Hannibal... the number 3 seeds, in danger here, but Clawdius self-rights again! What a turn of events this is! This would've been a terrible shock if the robot that came 4th last year went out here! Thank goodness that did not happen, and now, Clawdius lives to fight another moment or two! It turns and gets underneath Hannibal's side again and crunches down! Now Clawdius shoves Hannibal towards King Arthur's CPZ! Oh dear, this does not look good for Hannibal here... King Arthur comes in with the flywheel!
CRASH!!!!
Talk about damage! Hannibal loses some side armour, and now, Clawdius lets go of Hannibal. Hannibal is running in circles here, because I think that flywheel of King Arthur caused damage to not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. I always say, never underestimate the power of the house robots! Hannibal is trying everything possible to get out of the CPZ. Oh dear. Leo looks very nervous in the driver's booth there as he flicks the controls. King Arthur comes in for another blow!
CRASH!!!
Oh dear. There goes some more armour off of Hannibal, and it also gets flipped onto its back by the attack! Now, Hannibal self-rights, but it's still running in circles. Clawdius comes in, and smashes into the rear of Hannibal with the wedge, gets underneath and brings the crusher down! A gust of CO2 comes out which means the CO2 canister's been ruptured by the beak, and now Clawdius pushes Hannibal onto the arena saws! BZZT! Sparks fly, and the audience loves it! Clawdius now eases its grip on Hannibal and pushes it into King Arthur's CPZ and gets out of there for safety! Hannibal tries to get away, but...
CRASH!!!!
With a stomach-wrenching sound of crunching metal, King Arthur's flywheel knocks Hannibal senseless onto its back. Dear, oh dear... Leo frantically twiddles with the controls, but there's no one at home, and Hannibal has been immobilized. Leo puts the controls down and watches nervously as Refbot counts out the beaten machine that is Hannibal!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Hannibal is eliminated, and Clawdius defends its seeding in tonight's heat. Leo finally smiles and claps, and Steve also smiles victoriously, as Hannibal is disposed by Sgt. Bash, which nibbles it with the pincers, and slowly pushes it towards the pit of doom... and Hannibal falls in! Well done to Steve... OI! Clawdius, what are you doing?! Clawdius gets underneath Sgt Bash, and pushes the sergeant near the pit as well, and Sgt. Bash's wheel is stuck on the edge! Leo and Steve both love the house robots getting embarrassed, it looks like! Haha!
CEASE!
Hannibal wasn't tough enough to beat the 3rd Seeds.
E CLAWDIUS UNUM GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!
Sam: Leo, m'lad. You were this close to beating him.
Leo: Yes, I may have been beaten, but there's always next time.
Sam: Yes, that's the spirit! Now, what went wrong?
Leo: He had more experience and more control, and although I was close, I was crashed and bashed by Clawdius and the damn house robot. :proud:
Sam: Well, King Arthur is a big bad boy, isn't he?
Leo: Yeah, he's a little too big. Hahaha! :proud:
Sam: Hahahaha. What are you going to do for the next heat?
Leo: Hopefully, sharpen the blades for the discs on Symmetry. I'm not too confident, but hopefully, I will put up a good fight.
Sam: All right, that's the spirit; ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for the amazing Leo Van Miert and his machine, the magnificient HANNIBAL!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well, Steve-O mate. E Clawdius Unum is an old robot, but it is nonetheless one of the best robots of all time.
Steve: Yes, I think so as well, but I've got to admit, that there are lots of BETTER robots out there. Hahahaha!
Sam: Hahahaha. Anywho, what was your tactic for last battle?
Steve: Well, nothing special, just doing what Clawdius does best. Grab and pit, that's all. I just wanted to soften it up before I pitted it so I pushed it into the saws and to the house robot.
Sam: Great job on winning the heat. You think you can go all the way again?
Steve: You bet.
Sam: That's what we'd like to hear, yes sir! Ladies and gentlemen, what a superb competitor, let's all go crazy for your winner for Heat B, the awesome Steve McGregor and his wonderful machine, E CLAWDIUS UNUM!!!
(CROWD CHEERS AGAIN)
Sam: Well, E Clawdius Unum wins the heat and makes a dash for the coveted title of Robo-Bash! Good night.
(CROWD CHEERS, Sam shakes hands with Leo and Steve)
Next time on Robo-Bash, we will eyewitness the return of the number 5 seeds, Gehenna, and 5 more robots which are desperate to take the seeded machine out: Ripper Evo, N^3, D3, Symmetry and V for Vendetta!
Heat C Draws
Ripper Evo VS N^3 VS D3
Symmetry VS V For Vendetta VS Gehenna
Tactics, Predictions, and a mocha frappucino from Starbucks please.
prediction n3 out (sorry whoever owns it) as me and mark are gonna tag oota you
i think the seed will win this heat, as long as i get to the heat final thats ok
N³ tactics: Go for nearest opponent, lift to break their traction, crush down to clamp them, don't let go, pit.
This is more precisely a 2-on-1 handicap match, as its us against him.
Anyways, get under N3 from the side, flip it, and try to pin it against the wall so it can't self-right. If it does, flip it again and press the pit release button. Let Ripper Evo distract it, then flip it over and pit it. If that doesn't work, flip it into the house robots or try to flip it OOTA with both of our flippers if need be.
If he manages to get under one of us, clamps us, and tries to pit one of us, the other will flip N3 and the robot he's grabbed. N3 will have to let go to self-right, as the shape and weight of the other robot will severely restrict his ability to roll-over or use the crusher to self-right.
Sam: Well, an eighth of the competition is gone already, but as the heats continue, the competition gets more action-packed. We€™ve got another 6 robots hungry for mayhem that will fight to the death for a place in the series semis. SO, ARE YOU ALL READY TO RUMBLE!!!
*CROWD CHEERS*
Sam: The crowd is on the edge of their seats, so€¦ LET THE WAAAAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(BATTLE 1!!!)
From Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, Ripper Evo!
Ripper Evo has come a long way since it first made its debut in Robot Wars Series 7, where it got defeated by Firestorm. It€™s also agile at a top speed of about 12mph, and its main feature is the full pressure CO2 flipper, which can flip robots easily over the wall. However, it WILL run out of CO2, no doubt.
From Pontefract, in Yorkshire, Nidhogg Cubed!
Nidhogg was beaten by Son of Ripper last year, but it€™s back looking better than ever, with a barrel wedge shape design and a nice crusher and lifter. It€™s got great synergy, but its weakness is the petrol-powered drive motor, and someone putting a potato in the engine exhaust. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
From Texas, in the USA, D3!
D3 is the machine that will bring death to the opponent, with a beautiful flipper. This can flip up to 300kg which is decent enough, but there€™s only one little quirk. THE WHEELS ARE 75% EXPOSED! :shock:
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Lian Walsh, Joey McConnell
Booth 2: Mark Elam
The house robots that will be causing commotion in this battle will be Mindbender and Sir Killalot.
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
D3 is the first one to move, and faster of the two robots. Ripper chases Nidhogg Evo around the arena, but D3 immediately gets underneath Nidhogg€™s rear, and tries flipping it€¦ it ALMOST tipped Nidhogg over, but it lands back on its wheels. Now, Nidhogg fights back immediately, and gets under D3, there! It brings that crusher down€â€
FLIP!
OH Ripper Evo crashes their party and flips Nidhogg over, and sends it onto its back! Nidhogg lets go of D3, and D3 finally self-rights! That 4.5mm hardox is okay, and it comes out unscathed, but is Nidhogg having problems with the self-righting, there I wonder? No, it uses the beak to tumble itself back over to its wheels. Very innovative, I must say. Nidhogg goes away to find D3, and it gets underneath! Now, D3 is being carried over to Mindbender€™s CPZ! Ripper Evo tries to save D3 from danger, but€¦
CRASH!!!
OMG! That hit is out of this world! The impact sends D3 spinning away with one wheel totally ripped off! Now, D3 is running in circles, with nowhere to go at all€¦ oh dear. Refbot is no longer amused and starts counting D3 out.
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦ 8€¦ 9€¦ 10!!!
Sir Killalot comes out of his CPZ, and picks up D3 with its pincers, but Ripper and Nidhogg are still fighting! Ripper hits the pit button, and finally, D3 is carried towards the wall, and Sir K drops it out of the arena! But Nidhogg isn€™t finished with Ripper yet, as it grabs Ripper and dumps it down the pit€â€hahahaha€â€Nidhogg just drives itself down the pit as well! Ah, now I€™ve seen everything.
CEASE!
D3 gets slammed into submission.
Ripper Evo and Nidhogg Cubed go through!
Samuel, by The wheels are 75% Exposed, I meant they were like this, so the robot was both invertible and could self-right...
thats a bit harsh on mark but congrats joey on surviving :)
Oh... I didn't know that. I sincerely apologize for misunderstanding.Quote:

Now, D3 is running in circles, with nowhere to go at all€¦ I think it dislocated something inside€¦ oh dear. Nidhogg slams into D3 once again, and gets underneath! D3 is trapped inside Nidhogg€™s claws! Now, Nidhogg carries it to the saws! BZZZT! Ah, sparks fly, how lovely indeed, and it looks like one of D3€™s tyres has been damaged by the saws! Nidhogg lets go of D3, and D3 is still running in circles. Oh dear. Refbot is no longer amused and starts counting D3 out.
That would be nice.
Anyone who thinks this isn't fair: Understand that since the wheel is only protected from the side, while the rubber portion is exposed, either King Arthur ripped my entire side panel off, and then ripped my wheel off, or he ripped the rubber off.
To be completely fair '75% exposed' isn't a term that's commonly used, this could really have been avoided if you'd been specific in your stats about what sort of protection the wheels have.
You're right...
But anyways, I'm now revising D3's stats to more easily describe the wheel's protection.
Sam: Welcome back to Robobash, where we€™ll start our second battle, 3 robots go out and one returns in a body bag!
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Hoogvilet in Holland, Symmetry!
Symmetry has not one but two deadly spinning discs which run horizontally, and it has got decent armour as well, however€¦ there IS one little quirk€¦ it runs out of batteries in very long battles.
From England, V for Vendetta!
V for Vendetta is here to run you over like a bug on a windshield! This bad boy has LEM drive, and a deadly axe to cleave all opponents in half, but the CO2 supply is limited.
From Shrewsbury in Shropshire, and Seeded #5, Gehenna!
Gehenna is much improved from last year, it seems like! It€™s got strong armour, a powerful flipper, a deadly spinning bar, and a nasty attitude. However, it WILL eventually run out of flips, regardless of how much flips it has.
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Leo Van Miert, Lewis Matthews
Booth 2: Andrew Jackson
Dead Metal and Mangled Metal€¦ the two €œmetal€ house robots. :proud:
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
V for Vendetta is first to move, followed by Gehenna. Symmetry looks very strange with the two spinners, and it spins up to full speed! Now, it immediately slams into the side of Gehenna!
CRASH!!!
Gehenna spins away, but seems very oblivious to the hit! Now it turns and gets underneath Symmetry€™s side! Gehenna flips Symmetry into the pit release, and the pit goes down! Gehenna gets underneath Symmetry! Symmetry gets away, and Vendetta comes in now! Vendetta just slams itself into Symmetry before it spins up, and pushes it into the capable pincers of Dead Metal! The saw comes down, and sparks fly! The crowd goes wild, and Symmetry gets away from Dead Metal, but not from Vendetta! Vendetta now gets underneath Symmetry and slams it into the wall! Oof! That has got to hurt, and now, Gehenna gets into the action, and Symmetry turns and crashes into Gehenna€™s side with the disc!
CRASH!!!!
OH! Gehenna is spun away, but recovers, and immediately retaliates with the spinning bar!
CRASH!!!!
Symmetry spins away and crashes into the wall! Vendetta comes in now, and down comes the axe onto Symmetry!
WHACK!
OH! A nasty hit, but it did not cause too much damage, only superficial. Gehenna crashes their party and gets underneath Symmetry! Now is it trying to drag Symmetry towards the pit? No, instead€¦ it flips Symmetry into Mangled Metal€™s CPZ! Symmetry tries to get away€¦ too late.
CRASH!!!
Whoa, that hit sends Symmetry spinning away and almost into the pit, but now, Symmetry is in trouble, it looks like! It€™s not running freely, because I think that Mangled Metal did shock damage to some of the inside parts! Symmetry is getting its discs up to speed again, but it€™s sort of limping along here. Oh dear. Now, Vendetta plays the brave fool and just slams into the front, and sparks fly! Vendetta gets the axe down, and drives towards the pit, and it€™s taking Symmetry with it! Symmetry can€™t get away here! BOOM! Down it goes!
Round 2 Draws
Ripper Evo VS V for Vendetta
Nidhogg Cubed VS Gehenna
Ripper and Niddy FTW
I think I have the easier draw here. Dodge the flipper, grapple and pit ASAP. Don't prolong the fight, and maybe play this more as a rammer because of Ripper's axe-proof top armour, so use the axe only to hold Ripper in place and self-right if needed.
Gehenna to win the other match.
tactics for this one will be try to flip him from the sides (i should be quicker) and try to get him out or to the house
robots, if not wait for the axe to come down then flip it over, and v for vendetta will havetrouble self righting then try
to get it down the pit :mrgreen:
ready when you are lewis :mrgreen:
Ripper Evo VS V for Vendetta
Justine: All right, Lian. You are up against the newcomer, V for Vendetta!
Lian: V for Vendetta? Well, then. I€™m screwed, since it€™s got good pushing power and stuff.
Justine: Any tactics?
Lian: The main thing here is to avoid Vendetta€™s axe, and get underneath from the sides or back. When I do, then I€™ll rush it to the walls like a madman and flip it out. It won€™t really be easy though, since it€™s got a good amount of pushability, and an annoying axe.
Justine: Well, good luck.
Lian: Thanks.
Justine: This just in, Lewis, you are in battle with Ripper Evo!
Lewis: Wow, what an easy opponent. A few whacks and then I€™ll dump it into the pit like radioactive waste or something.
Justine: Well, that was simple. :proud:
Lewis: Yes indeed. Oh, and one more thing, when it turns on me, I ought to push it into one of the house robots.
Justine: All right, good luck.
Lewis: Thanks.
Sam: We€™ve gone through hell and back, but now things get really fired up! Everybody, hold onto your seats and prepare for€¦ ROUND 2!!!
(BATTLE 3!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome€¦
RIPPER EVO!!!
V FOR VENDETTA!!!
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
Booth 1: Lian Walsh
Booth 2: Lewis Matthews
The house robots in this battle will be Matilda with the deadly flywheel, and the big daddy of them all, King Arthur!
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
Both robots are off to a great start here, and by far, Vendetta looks to be faster than Ripper, indeed. Ripper has a top speed of 12mph, meanwhile Vendetta€™s top speed is 25mph. Ripper now comes in, trying to find a weak spot in Vendetta, but it seems to be too fast for Ripper! Vendetta turns magnificently, and slams into Ripper€™s side! Now, it brings the axe down, and grabs hold tightly! It pushes Ripper into the pit release button! Oof! That€™s got to hurt, and now, Vendetta slams Ripper into Matilda€™s flywheel!
CRASH!!!!
OUCH, that€™s going to leave a mark€¦ and it has! The flywheel makes a dent in the armour of Ripper! Ripper is okay though, and now Ripper tries to fight back, and it gets underneath the side of Vendetta and flips it!
FLIP!!!
Vendetta is flipped 6 feet in the air and comes back down on its wheels! Now, Vendetta gets underneath Ripper again, and slams it into King Arthur€™s CPZ! The king is ready with his flywheel!
CRASH!!!
What a hit! Ripper goes FLYING out of control, and now, it lands on its back, but self-righting. Ripper, with one side badly dented, now gets under the side of Vendetta there, and pushes it into the wall! Uh oh, this does not look good at all€¦
FLIP!!
€¦ but Lewis refuses to take no for an answer here, as Vendetta crashes back down onto the arena floor, and it lives to fight another moment or two! Vendetta self-rights, and it fights back, as it gets underneath Ripper once again! Now, it carries Ripper towards the pit and fires the axe!
WHACK!
€¦ and now, is Ripper going to go down? Ripper needs to hang in there€¦ but NO! Ripper goes down to the pit!
CEASE!
Ripper gets ripped into small pieces.
V for Vendetta goes through to the Heat C Final!!!
The tradition of Kody failing at predictions continues to this day! Hallelujah! :P
In all seriousness well done Lewis, and not a bad fight Samuel. :)
w00t! :D commiserations Lian, but great fight Samuel :)
thanks lewis for an epic fight, shame someone had to lose :mrgreen:
hey sam would i be able to replaces hammer and nails (due to the fact it sucks and will be redesigned)
with smashy smashy (originally was called son of tenderizer until mark gave me it#
stats are here (if you let me replace it)
Smashy Smashy
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Simply, a box with 2 wedges at the front: one on the left, and one on the right. There is 20cm of width in between the 2 wedges for the meat tenderizer to come down, like Wedge of Doom
Colour: Black.
Dimensions:90cm x 70cm x 20cm
Drive: 4x 24v S28-400 Magmotors, powered by 3x 3000mAh NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 6 externally mounted solid rubber wheels with aluminum boron carbide hubs.
Armour: 5mm titanium, except the front wedge which is 8mm titanium,
Speed: 25mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front, and 5mm at sides and back.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapons: A powerful axe, with a 4kg hardox meat tenderizer for an axehead. The tenderizer's blades are diamond tipped, and it can hit an opponent and do damage when the axe springs back to its rested position, like Terrorhurtz. The axe itself is powered by a 2.2kg 750psi Co2 tank feeding gas to a 90mm bore 400mm stroke ram which pushes the axe forward, giving near 600kgs of force.
Srimech: The axe self-rights the robot. If it gets stuck on its side, repeatedly firing the axe will cause it to land on its back or right way up.
Strengths: Powerful axe. Also very maneuverable.
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels and average armor.
revised tactics
razer: wanna team up lewis? your disc and my crusher we should take out the favorite out which is maximum genocide :)
terrorhurtz: hhmmmmm team up again lewis :rofl:
hydra: team up with holepunch2.0 and let him crush into cry with the saints as i axe away and then we will pit him :mrgreen:
I'm back, guys. I took a break from FRA for a while, but now I'm back for good, so expect some more epic battles from me. BTW, Happy New Year to all, 2010 is definitely going to be a year to enjoy and remember... and Lian, your new entry will be accepted, and will take the place of Hammer and Nails in Heat E.
That is all :proud:
Hey guys, here's the next battle. Sorry for the delays.
* * *
Nidhogg Cubed VS Gehenna
Justine: Right, Joey. This just in, you are up against the 5th seeds, Gehenna.
Joey: Well, AJ beat me last year in a judge€™s decision, so this would be a good time to get revenge on him.
Justine: So, what are your tactics?
Joey: Hope for the best, and grab and pit. That€™s the main thing I can do really€¦
Justine: All right, good luck.
Joey: Thank you.
Justine: Well, Andy you are up against Nidhogg again.
AJ: Well, this version of Nidhogg is much stronger, so I will do my best and try to use the flipper and spinner as much as possible, hopefully for the judge€™s decision.
Justine: Ok, anything else?
AJ: Well, the ground clearance on Nidhogg is somewhat high on the back so I will take advantage of that, and also avoid the front as much as possible.
Justine: All right then, good luck.
AJ: Thank you.
(BATTLE 4!!!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome€¦
NIDHOGG CUBED!!!
GEHENNA!!!
Roboteers, Stand By€¦
There€™s Joey in the first control booth at the controls of Nidhogg, and AJ in the other booth at the controls of Gehenna, and the house robots running amok for destruction in this battle will be Mindbender with the spinning hammers, and Sir Killalot with the drill and claws.
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!
So, it€™s a grudge match of last year€™s battle where Nidhogg lost to SoR Hex. Both Nidhogg and Gehenna€™s ground clearance at the front is 0mm, so it really matters who gets underneath. Nidhogg gets underneath the side of Gehenna first, and clamps it tightly! Now, it drags Gehenna into the saws, and sparks fly! Gehenna gets away unscathed somehow and it fights back with the spinning bar!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly everywhere and Nidhogg goes spinning away, but that didn€™t cause much damage but just a dent, not too visible. Good attack there by Gehenna, and likewise a good defence Nidhogg, I must say. Gehenna will hopefully get some points for that attack. Gehenna comes in with the bar once again, but Nidhogg plays the brave fool, turns and barges right into the fully spun up blade!
CRASH!!!
Nidhogg spins away, and a flurry of sparks scatters the arena floor! Nidhogg comes out unscathed again, good defence there by Joey! Now, Nidhogg immediately finds the side of Gehenna and drags it into the saws once again, and sparks fly as the saws strike Gehenna€™s underbelly! Gehenna gets away, and presses the pit button. Now, it slams its front wedge into Nidhogg€™s side, gets underneath and tries flipping it into Mindbender€™s spinning hammers of doom! Nidhogg tries to get away€¦
CRASH!!!
€¦and it just spins Nidhogg away with massive force! Nidhogg€™s front crusher is very slightly bent, but now, it gets underneath Gehenna€™s side, and tries to drag it towards the pit€¦ but Gehenna just barely escapes! Gehenna spins up its blade again, and now both robots go crazy on each other!
CRASH!!!!!
A massive hit, as both bots go flying and Nidhogg almost falls into the pit, now getting away, though. The time is running out€¦
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦
Gehenna gets under the side of Nidhogg and flips it, and Nidhogg tries self-righting!
6.. 5€¦ 4€¦
Now, it gets away, gets underneath and tries to clamp Gehenna! However, Gehenna is quick to get away! Gehenna comes in with the spinning blade for one more blow!
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦
CEASE!!!
CRASH!!!
That is a massive hit, and it sends Nidhogg spinning near the pit and almost in! But it€™s all up to the judges now.
JD: Gehenna / N^3
Style: 2.3/5 / 2.7/5
Control: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Damage: 2.8/5 / 2.2/5
Aggresion: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Total Score: 10.1/20 / 9.9/20
OUCH! Nidhogg Cubed crashes out by a 0.2 point margin!
Gehenna goes through to the Heat C Final!
Heat C Final
Gehenna VS V for Vendetta
Tactix, Pred's, and a nice cup of hot chocolate please. :proud:
