Good news! I AM OFFICIALLY GETTING MY LAPTOP TOMORROW!!! :proud::proud::proud: I might not be able to swing up the Internet access right away, but once I do, I will be able to write fights much quicker! :proud:
Thanks for the tactics Martijn, Alex, and Steve. :proud:
(am typing from another computer because the family one crashed :lame:)
Axeon (13) vs. Wedge Devolution vs. Axe to Fall
Not a bad draw here! Sure thing, Ill team up with Martijn and try and beat that flipper into submission. As Steve mentioned, hopefully my sucking system will help against being flipped around at the same time.
Ta, AJ. Lets start the seventh heat, with both fights! :proud:
Axeon (13) vs. Wedge Devolution vs. Axe to Fall
Axeon (13), entered by Andrew Jackson, undoubtedly has the axe effect, and more. :proud: Its Thz-style axe (with a sharpened point) can dent even hardox, and can keep itself on the floor using a vacuum system. Hardox and titanium/vanadium armour, LEM 4WD, and wedge with rear slope design make up the rest. It does have only 30 axe shots though.
C&BT1: Made Jim Struts break a leg (more like all of them :proud:), then surprisingly defeated Knightrous Wedge, only to fall to the 5th seed Aquarius in the Heat A Final.
Wedge Devolution is so popular youd think Steven McGregor would enjoy his bots attention. Well, he does. :proud: It also has LEM 4WD drive. However its shape is a low wedge with a sloped rear and Biohazard-style skirts. Its weapon is much different, being a full-pressure flipper that can comfortably toss a tonne, and its Bigger Brother-style spatula can help get under those annoying skirts. It can go at 16mph and its armour is 4mm hardox. However it has has ground clearance under the skirts, and like all CO2 flippers it will eventually run out of flips.
C&BT1: Flipped Leprosy Infection around and into the pit it went, then shockingly lost to 15th seed Terrorhurtz in a JD.
Axe to Fall is the other axebot in this fight. Martijn Benschop installed a nice 5kg double-sided axe in this baby, powered by 2 nitrogen bottles so it unleashes 2 tonnes of force every full-pressure blow. It is also LEM powered and can get up to 15mph, and its got 8mm titanium and 15mm polycarbonate, making it a tough nut of a bot, but it will eventually run out of axe power with all pneumatically-powered weapons.
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Axe to Fall, Axeon
Booth 2: Wedge Devolution
Obelix Bulguous and his hammer enter the arena, right about the same time Double Big Mac does, with the 4 twin spinning hammers.

Its officially a team-up as Axeon and Axe to Fall head right for Wedge Devo, but youll have to do better than that! Wedge Devo goes immediately for Axe to Fall, who brings down the axe! WHACK! The axe hits the flipper, but there is very little done, and Wedge Devos response is dangerous! The flipper slides underneath the front wedge and FLIP! Wedge Devo tosses with all his might, sending Axe to Fall flying through the air to come down on his back near the arena wall! Axeon rams Wedge Devos side but thanks to the skirting the ram barely changes Wedge Devos course and sends Axeon overtop of the skirt, and off as Wedge avoids him and goes after the self-righting Axe to Fall, immediately sliding underneath the 7mm ground clearance and FLIPPING!!! ITS OVER!!! AXE TO FALL IS OUT OF THE ARENA!!! What a quick fight! But wheres the cease?! Axeon collides with Wedge Devos rear and lets an axe blow fly! WHACK! The axe meets the upraised flipper and sends it back down with little damage caused, and Wedge Devo slowly pushes Axeon backwards. The house robots come out of the CPZs, but...
CEASE!
Axe to Fall falls right out of the arena. :proud:
Axeon (13) and Wedge Devo advance to Round 2!

Hellbrand vs. Revenge of the Accountant vs. Scorpion Bite
Hellbrand, brought to you by Anthony Politzi, is an H-shaped bot with skirts everywhere except the front and back of the middle line to make room for the 360 axe which can double as a flipper thanks to a thin sideways axe blade on the top. It can go at 17mph thanks to some S28-400 Mags, has 10mm titanium armour, and its invertible, but it does have limited CO2 power.
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Revenge of the Accountant is kickin it old school, meaning its David Sheppards fault. :proud: Its a boxy wedge shape with 2 Boschs powering the drive and a Biohazard-style lifting arm. It has 5mm carbon fibre over an aluminum ladder chassis, so that might withstand some good attacks but its pretty easy to get under, and it can definitely be overpowered.
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Scorpion Bite, a T-shaped bot, has serious bite indeed. Alex MacWilliams returns to cause more damage using Scorpion Bites horizontal front spinning blade powered by a Magmotor, and it has 8mm titanium wedges/skirts surrounding the other areas. 5mm titanium however is its main armour, which can be damaged surely, and its drive is powered by 2 Dustin motors, so it can be outpushed.
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Revenge of the Accountant, Scorpion Bite
Booth 2: Hellbrand
Its Double Whamlet with the quad axes and scoop with the lifter, and Exa-Gore-Ic: AI with the sharp pincers on both sides who will be watching you with cruel eyes filled with merciless intent.

Scorpion Bite is after the Accountant immediately, and so is Hellbrand. Accountant slams into Hellbrand and receives a faceful of hammer. BANG! The arm is slightly dented but otherwise fine, however its not a good idea to ram an opponent whos got a slightly better ground clearance than you, and even less good to ignore a spinning blade behind you!
CRASH!!!
Scorpion Bite tears into Accountants rear end, slashing open the 5mm titanium with brutal force, but unable to release the Accountant from Hellbrand! Hellbrand begins to push the helpless Accountant towards the pit release button...BANG. Right into it, opening the pit - WATCH OUT, SCORPION BITE! Alex almost drove into the pit, but swerves away towards the two other bots! Hellbrand has pretty much got the Accountant in his clutches and gives him another hammer blow. BANG! The arm is more dented. Scorpion Bite comes in with another hit!
CRASH!!!
This time Accountant does get seperated from Hellbrand, and also his rear panel! The whole rear panel of the Accountant is now completely ripped off and lying next to Hellbrand, who leaves it be and chases the Accountant down again. The Accountant is still moving, it seems, but very slowly, and Hellbrand shoves him into Exa-Gore-Ics CPZ! The 400kg house robot sinks its claws into the 5mm titanium sides and through the ladder chassis, oh its almost horrifying to watch...Scorpion Bite backs up into the spinner button and activates the spinner, for no reason. :proud: Hellbrand gets the idea and backs off as well, to let the house bots have fun as Whamlet hurries on over. Oh...Exa-Gore-Ics gonna take you to the arena saws...BZZT! Sparks. And again. BZZT! Sparks. Did I hear a tire being shredded?! OOOHHH!!! Look, strips of rubber are coming out from under the Accountant! How horrid! And Whamlet tackles the wedge from the side and down comes the twin axe! WHACK! The front armour is pierced and holed up! The Watcher comes in and actually uses the lifting arm this time, lifting Whamlet off his wheels - oh, youve been a bad boy, Whamlet, now off to your CPZ and no biscuits! :proud: Exa-Gore-Ic also gets the message and scats away, but possibly for no reason, for it looks like the attack has done the damage. The Accountant is pretty much immobilized now, and Hellbrand tackles him, and hes right near the drop zone! Nope, past the drop zone, and INTO THE PIT! BOOM!
CEASE!
Revenge of the Accountant? Make that Revenge of the Revenge of the...ah, screw it. :proud:
Hellbrand and Scorpion Bite advance to Round 2!
Round 2
Wedge Devolution vs. Scorpion Bite
Axeon (13) vs. Hellbrand
ITT we prove that I dont do any research but my tactics are vague and general enough to still work
Yeah? Well in Mechanical noise too I posted Avoid MOABIE and still won XD
Axeon (13) vs. Hellbrand
Im going for a clamp and push tactic here. Titanium isnt much of a problem for the axe, but its pretty thick here. So, Ill try to fire the axe, get hold of Hellbrand and then use my superior pushing power to control it and feed it to the hazards, house robots and eventually the pit. If for some reason this fails, just give it a battering with the axe few times.
HEAT G
ROUND 2
1) Scorpion Bite VS WEDGE DEVOLUTION
The key to victory here is my superior pushing power. Dodge the disc, scoop under the sides or rear and start shoving. Either dump it down the Pit or chuck it over the wall.
2) Axeon (13) VS Hellbrand
Ill pick the seed to outhammer the newcomer and eventually bash it to a standstill.
1) Scorpion Bite VS WEDGE DEVOLUTION
Keep my front facing him at all times. Keep smacking him with the spinner, and try to hit him on his sides.
I shall now try and do two fights at the same time...
Wedge Devolution vs. Scorpion Bite
Wedge Devolution immediately got under Axe to Fall and before the 13th seed could come to the rescue tossed Martijns axebot OOTA.
Scorpion Bite smashed Revenge of the Accountant to pieces, before Exa-Gore-Ic took Accountant to the saws, where his tire got shredded.
Roboteers, stand by...

Wedge Devo blasts out of his spot, and meets Scorpion Bites rear wedge! WHAM! They meet, and are brought to a standstill, as neither can get under the other...or can they? Wedge Devo suddenly drives forward and slides under the rear wedge of Scorpion Bite! FLIP! Scorpion Bite flies through the air but thanks to the blade spinning is able to bring himself down right-side-up. Gyrometric forces are at work here, but Wedge Devo isnt going to let that stop him, and box rushes the spinner again. Scorpion Bite turns to have a go at the side, but Wedge is too quick. He gets to the front of Scorpion Bites right side and slides under it, heaving it into the air with another giant FLIP! Alexs bar spinner goes flying again but manages to stay upright. Wedge Devo chases him down again but is shocked to meet the spinner head-on!
CRASH!
Wedge Devo is sent spinning a little, the flipper not too badly shaken, but Scorpion Bite is also spun around and this gives Wedge a perfect opportunity to have another go at the rear end. Scorpion Bite also turns but this means Wedge Devo has a full blow on the not-spinning bar, and flies under it. Its going for the arena wall! FLIP! Over the fence goes Scorpion Bite, and out of the tournament!
CEASE!
Scorpion Bite gets a full sting in the face.
Wedge Devolution advances to the Heat G Final!!

Axeon (13) vs. Hellbrand
Axeon (13) didnt have a chance to rescue Axe to Fall as Wedge Devolution got under it straight away and tossed it right over the fence.
Hellbrand advanced through after grasping onto Revenge of the Accountant, while Scorpion Bite took it to pieces.

Straight out is Axeon and slamming into Hellbrand immediately, again a stalemate. Both axes come into play simultaneously! WHACK! Axeons axe has made the most damage, actually, making a very small hole in the 1cm titanium. Hellbrands attack however hits the hardox and bounces off, foiled. Axeon grinds the gears and slowly begins to push the H-shaped bot back. Hellbrand tries to push Axeon back, but Axeon is too powerful. Another blow from both bots! WHACK! Axeon nails the exact same spot and the hole is carved wider and deeper! Hellbrand has now dented the hardox armour but now Axeon has him against the arena wall! WHACK! Axeon nails the armour near Hellbrands axe hinge, and another nice little hole is made! Hellbrands reaction is immediate: WHACK! A hit in a different place, right on the 6mm Ti/V top armour, and a nice-sized hole is made! This however raises Hellbrand off the ground and now Axeon gets under the H-bot and pins him with the axe shaft! Hellbrand strikes, but the 360 axe hits ground behind Axeon! Axeon now has Hellbrand almost completely on top of him, and takes him to Whamlets CPZ! Whamlet exerts his enthusiasm by a twin-axe blow to Hellbrands left side! WHACK!! A nice set of small holes have been made in the armour, and now Ancalagon leaves his CPZ to add to the chaos! But now the chaos is being caused by Axeon and Whamlet, and Axeon shoves Hellbrand further into Whamlets CPZ, actually shoving the house robot back! Whamlet responds to his by plowing into Hellbrand and using the flipper on the plow to push Hellbrand right overtop of Axeon...no wait! Axeons axe is still in the way! So instead of Hellbrand being flipped over Axeon, Axeon is shunted backwards a little and Hellbrand lands in front of him! Axeon takes the advantage in jaws...I mean an axe of steel. :proud: WHACK! Another hole in the 10mm titanium! That axe is quite powerful! Hellbrand can now use his axe...or can he? Its not doing much of anything, really, even moving! Ancalagon reaches the CPZ and his snout moves in, tackling Hellbrand against the wall. Whamlet and Axeon are just hammering on the titanium and its definitely not standing up to the heavy hail of blows now being given! Ancalagons jaw yawns open, and a spurt of flame bursts out, torching Hellbrand, who is in huge peril, but now The Watcher has had enough and moves in. Ancalagon and Whamlet retreat immediately and Hellbrand is able to move again! ...well, come on, Hellbrand, dont be shy. :proud: Err...I dont think hes able to move! Hellbrand appears to be immobilized! Axeon continues to hammer away at him! The Watcher pushes Hellbrand again, but nothing happens, and I really do believe that the Hellbrand has been branded dead here! Countout please!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Well, Axeon moves on the heat final but its not over yet, o ho ho ho! Now the house robots can REALLY have their fun! Ancalagon moves in again and slides easily under the side, clamps down and drags the broken H-bot away. Arena saws...BZZT! Nice sparks. Whamlet catches up to them and more WHACKing ensues! :proud: BZZT! More nice sparks! Axeon slams into the pit release button, hoping to stop the house robots from playing further, but noooooo. :proud: Ancalagon drags Hellbrand over to...the floor flipper. Ah...3...2...1...FLIP! Hellbrand goes sailing a little and lands upside-down. Axeon hurries over to shunt Hellbrand in the pit but Ancalagon is nearest and gets there first, clipping Hellbrand with his right side flywheel!
CRASH!
Hellbrand is vaulted into the air, coming back down right-side-up but it doesnt matter now, and right by the edge of the pit. Axeon spares him any further torture by ramming him right in.
CEASE!
Hellbrand is given a one-way ticket to hell!
Axeon (13) advances to the Heat G Final!!
Heat G Final
Axeon (13) vs. Wedge Devolution
The most awesome part of these fights is how I meet him with my back wedge when I clearly said Keep my front facing him at all times
To be fair though Alex, tactics are a guide, they cant always be carried out
