The Tribute To The Tim Tribute Tournament

LOL

May as well post TACTICS:

Cat with Wheels v War Drum v Martijn Entry

Ill just attack Cat with Wheels until it dies. Theres not much it can do to me, and I may be able to damage 7mm titanium with my drum.

Beta-Rex v Woodpecker v Spring-BOK!

*Strokes white cat*
We meet again Mr. Spring-BOK!
Im not worried at all here. Flip Spring-BOK! and push it onto the flame pit. The flip it around to cause maximum damage, then burn it again, then get it OOTA. As for Woodpecker, if I have to fight it Ill just use my superior HP and weapon power to dominate the match.

Good luck if anyone needs it in this bizarre tourney!

Ill confirm With or Without you as my first entrant, Im still in doubt for my second one

Wheres the stats for War! HUNH! What is it good for?

Its a low plywood non-invertible wedge with a hydraulic humanoid arm sticking out of it holding a chainsaw...not really a threat.

MEGA MASHERS TACTICS
Go for Roveress, only because Im not too keen on taking on one of Franks robots.

SPRING-BOKS TACTICS
Take on Beta-Rexs challenge and just try to outlast him.

Its not really a threat, but so is opened by transfer whose lack of a weapon and hardox armour puts it a good 20 or so KG underweight :sad:

Does that mean that ObT might win its first match :proud:

Very possibly :proud:

Im writing one of the fights at the moment...when can you get Woody-me-dos vague description in?

Welcome all and sundry, to the Tribute To The Tim Tribute Tournament!

*fanfare, people cheering, streamers, dancing girls, balloons*

...okay, thats enough. Tonight will see the beginning of the tournament to end all tournaments. A tournament, if you like, that will mark the turning of a page in history, the beginning of a cultural revolution, no, a renaissance of combat robotics. You have never seen it before, and you shall be blessed to see the likes of it ever again. Oh yeah, and this tournament will start as well.

Anyway, our first first round fight is...

...Cat With Wheels vs. War Drum vs. With Or Without You

Unfortunately, we had a small problem when setting the arena up; we wanted the builders to change the lighting at the back from blue to green. Somewhere, there was a miscommunication between our staff and their staff, and not only is the lighting still blue, the arena is filled to a rather great depth with 97% distilled water. As a result of this, all the robots are on wooden rafts, and all the roboteers are in the booths looking rather fetching in their diving masks and little snorkels.

*Danny and Martijn wave, Liam checks his oxygen level*

So without further ado...

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY

Booth 1: Liam Eliot, Martijn Benschop
Booth 2: Danny Bailey

Amidst the vast, rolling ocean of water, the three competitors look like specks in amongst a mass of blue, as neither of them dare do anything for fear of falling off their rafts. After the brief pause, With Or Without You splits, and With You promptly shifts the rats centre of gravity too much and slides off, Without You doing some frantic maneuvering to stay on, as Martijn watches his machine slowly sink past his control booth, muttering something to Liam, who cant hear him because he has his underwater headphones on.
There is a period of silence, then Danny, feeling like doing something, fires Cat With Wheels flipper, and the resulting vent of CO2 causes his robots raft to start to move slightly backwards, away from War Drum and With You and towards where the angle grinders would be if they werent several dozen feet below the water. Martijn begins to spin Without Yous bar up, causing small ripples around its platform and forcing him to make small adjustments to its positioning to prevent the gyroscopic forces unbalancing it. War Drum begins to rock its raft backwards and forwards, Liam keeping his robot in time with his music, and there is now some activity on the ocean surface, as Cat With Wheels begins to move ever closer to the polycarbonate walls...closer...closer...the edge of the raft just nudging into the screening, which flexes slightly.
Without You is beginning to slow down its spinning, as it very nearly lost balance just then. War Drum is drifting away from Martijns machine and towards Cat With Wheels, which is now moving towards the control booths. Inside said control booths, Martijn is reading the FIRE EXIT sign, forwards and backwards, pondering the ultimate meaning and relevance of those two words. Danny is playing Tetris, and Liam is...actually, it looks as if Liam is having problems, as hes grasping at his snorkel, having dropped his controls, and as his mask begins to fill with water the joystick on his transmitter gets knocked forward and War Drum flies off the raft and down into the murky depths of the arena...ironically in to the pit on the sea bed, which fires its pyrotechnics with as much force as pyrotechnics can be fired when several metres underwater. Liam is now in real problems now, hes turning blue, so I guess that means Cat With Wheels and With Or Without You have qualified, as the ambulance is called to take Liam to the Pokemon Center to revive him.

CEASE

Cat With Wheels and With Or Without You never touched War Drum once, yet it lost and theyre through.

LOL

I mean...

I SEE THE LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
