Name: Mother Of All Bricks 2(MOAB)
Weight: 10kg
Wrong weight class. :proud:
1. NAME- Hefty Kick in the Balls!
SHAPE- Reminds of Cerberus in S3 or 4, I think. Tapered rear with front scoops.
COLOUR- Grey, with Scottish flag scoops.
WEIGHT- 100kg
LENGTH- (L) 78 cm without disc, 151cm including skirts and wheel pods, (W) 105cm without, (H) 23cm without disc, 76cm with disc.
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front and skirts, 1cm everywhere else.

WEAPON 2- Like you€™ll get past the first.
SRIMECH - None, though my driving, the skirts and the will ensure it doesn€™t get flipped. Actually it could possibly do an IG-88 due to the speed of the disc and the short length of the body.
SKIRTS- Side skirts, hinged.
NOTES- Should easily destroy a lot of bots and the scoops can both aid get under a lot of flippers and fend off other robots€™ weapons
SUMMARY- Destructive, indiscreet and designed to give the other bot a hefty kick in the balls!
STRENGTHS- Weapon, stylishness, and scoops
WEAKNESSES- Armour kinda sacrificed for extra weapon power.
2. NAME- Glasgow Kiss
SHAPE- Weirdly shaped, see picture.
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 86cm x 87cm x 22cm
COLOUR- Groovy tie dye effect, dude. Like someone€™s been painting the sports centre€¦

WEAPON 2-
SRIMECH - Of course, with the axe.
SKIRTS- None, due to curved sides.
NOTES- Each side of the axe is different.
SUMMARY- Part of Team Psychedelic Butterflies, and a spiritual replacement of Axe Murederer.
STRENGTHS- That axe.
WEAKNESSES- Could be flipped by an agile flipper.
3. NAME- Insecticide
SHAPE- A rounded main body with exterior sidepods
DIMENSIONS- (LWH) 122cm x 132cm x 21cm
COLOUR- Sleek dark grey
WEIGHT- 99.42kg

GROUND CLEARANCE- 0-1 cm
ARMOUR- 4mm titanium for main shell, 5mm titanium for the sidepods
WHEELS- 2, each in its own pod.
POWER- 2 x Mag S28-400€™s at 36v, 4 X 36v 3Ah NiCad packs
WEAPON 1- A 16kg, 66cm diameter horizontal disc, powered by a Briggs and Stratton E-Tek motor at 36v. This spins at approximately 1500rpm due to the 7:11 gear ratio and is 4cm off the ground.
SRIMECH - Invertible, due to a Scottish flag invertibility bar at the rear.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- My personal favourite of my renders :)
SUMMARY- Destructive disc backed up with decent drive.
STRENGTHS- That disc, agility
WEAKNESSES- It isnt painted red, and you know, red is the fastest colour, so it isnt the fastest robot of that exact same speed.
4. NAME- Scottishly Fictional
SHAPE- Modified Storm 2 shape, with a concave front.
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 75cm x 72cm x 16cm
COLOUR- Scottish flags all over
WEIGHT- 100 kg

TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 5mm elsewhere
ARMOUR- 6-12mm titanium
WHEELS- 6, sellotape
POWER- 2 x LEM130s at 36v, 4 x 3Ah Battlepacks
WEAPON 1- Ramming spikes
WEAPON 2- Small 5kg disc in the scoop, in a little indent. This is powered by an S28-150 Magmotor at 24v, since 36v fries it. Interchangeable with a 20mm titanium anti-spinner scoop without an indent for a drum, which also have a rear mace on a chain for some FBS action, baby, yeah!
SRIMECH - Invertible
SKIRTS- No
NOTES- The weapon bay could be interchangeable if I€™m sufficiently bored enough to create new weapons.
SUMMARY- Storm 2 with a proper, reasonably damaging weapon
STRENGTHS- Speed, ramming, active weapon
WEAKNESSES- Lack of skirts could leave sides open to agile flippers.
5. NAME- Stratos-Fear
SHAPE- A sort of 4Wheel Drive Wheely Big Cheese.
COLOUR- Stealthy Black and Grey
WEIGHT- 100kg
DIMENSIONS- (L) With Flipper: 155cm, Without: 62cm (W) With flipper: 124cm, Without: 26cm each wheelpod. (H) 26cm
SPEED- 15mph, high acceleration
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- Dead zero at front, rising to about 1-2cm.
ARMOUR- 4-7mm RSP-707 T6, Dave found this, it has the same density as aluminium but is almost as strong as titanium.
WHEELS- 4, 4wd
DRIVE- 2 24v LEM130€™s, geared for good speed and acceleration, powered by 3 x 24v 3Ah NiCad battlepacks.
WEAPON 1- 130cm pneumatic flipper. This thing is powered by THREE 420mm x 80mm full pressure rams, running off three nitrogen tanks, with one extra as a buffer. It has a travel of 115 degrees. This should comfortably launch another heavyweight far into the air, better than WBC due to the increased power and length of the flipper.
SRIMECH - Axlebot, therefore it€™s invertible and can€™t really be flipped.
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- Could probably flip about a tonne, and launch a heavyweight far into the air. Possibly the first 4 wheeled axle bot? Due to the shock, can probably kill another heavyweight in one or two flips. Overflip is now redundant because the flipper flops over due to the hollow axle connecting the two drive boxes. The flipper rides the ground, and due to the speed and low low angle can easily breach any skirts.
SUMMARY- Prepare to be launched into the stratos-fear!
STRENGTHS- That flipper, acceleration and speed.
WEAKNESSES- Armour is sacrificed a bit for extra power.
6. NAME- We€™ll buy you a new one tomorrow, Mrs Brown
DIMENSIONS (LWH)- 100cm x 66cm x 14cm
SHAPE- Invertible box type clusterbot
COLOUR- Unpainted aluminium
WEIGHT- ~100kg, 50kg for each
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0
GROUND CLEARANCE- 0 at front, 5mm elsewhere
ARMOUR- 10mm 2014A Aluminium
WHEELS- 4, sellotape
POWER- 2 x 24v LEM130s powered by NiCads
WEAPON 1- Linear Actuated lifting arm
WEAPON 2- Linear Actuated lifting arm
SRIMECH - Maybe with the lifters, invertible
SKIRTS- None
NOTES- Each can lift and push 200kg
SUMMARY- Wham, bam, thank you Ma€™am!
STRENGTHS- Teamwork, pushing power.
WEAKNESSES- Each is only half the weight of a heavyweight.
7. T.B. (Total B*stard)
Stats coming soon
8. (Real Robot) Nightmare? If not, then Constrictor
Thanks, Scott! Nightmare has already been entered, so Ill give you Constrictor. No Maximum Velocity this time?
I give you:
Angel of the Abyss
Baldur
Tengu 6
Slammer 4
Heir to Black Panther 4 (please get Steve to give you the changes cos I dont have them on me)
Mortis (s4)
Achilles
http://www.geocities.com/alex_j_holtwww.geocities.com/alex_j_holt
and
Blizzard
SHAPE- two screws going forward so that the point faces towards the front, they are treaed in opposite directions and run parrallel to each ther, they are connected by a solid plate that runs across the second quarter from the back of the bot.
COLOUR- white and silver
WEIGHT- 100kg (unless you count it as a walker, in which case ill give you some changes)
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- around 3m
GROUND CLEARANCE- same as a cylinder on its side
ARMOUR- 6mm aluminium boron carbide
WHEELS- the two screws provide the movement, they allow the robot to move sideways, forwars or backwards but severly limit turning. The advantage however is that the traction generated is unparrallelled, able to get a grip against even the strongest of rambots due ot the large traction area. The threads are thick rubber and have a ridge every 2 inches.
POWER- uses 2 x LEM-130s at 48v
WEAPONS- At the front end of the screws two spinning weapon which twist into the armour to get a grip on it.
SRIMECH- invertible
STRENGTHS- unparralleled traction, fearsome pushing, you cant fight it by pushing it from the sdie, itll push back harder
WEAKNESSES- abysmal turning, not too hard to flip
HEIR TO BLACK PANTHER 4 STAT CHANGES:

HEAT P
Heir To Black Panther IV (18) vs Star 69 (me) vs The Doomsday Project vs Wedgie 5
spin up team up with steve if he wants and attack both of the other two
Name: Infusion
Motivation: Wheels/Tracks/Shuffles
Speed: 16/14/10MPH
Weight: 100kg
Height: 180mm
Length: 800mm
Width: 800mm
Weapon: Infusion has the following weapon set ups:
Spinner Mode:
This weapon is built into the robot at all times. The weapon is a FBS ring spinner that is two stage. The outside shell is a light 10kg Rim while the inside one is a heavier 15kg rim. The inner rim is spinning all the time, storing energy before the battle begins, being powered by a 17HP 24000RPM Stihl Chainsaw motor (Astro 40 motor used for starter on it). The inner rim spins up to 3500RPM before the battle, this is allowed as it is a storage device and not an actual weapon. The inner rim is then turned into a large electromagnet and sticks the 10kg outer flywheel onto it and spins it up in under 1-2sec. This gives the weapon a speedy spin up time, gives it the ability to be turned on and off all the time with out having to spin the weapon up from zero, gradually generating the energy needed. This makes it impossible to stall as the outer shell can just be turned off when needed. KE is around 180KJ€™s. Enough to tear panels off opponent and give them a rough time.
Flipper/Lifter Mode:
A flipper is powered directly from the inner 15kg rim. This is then geared 120:1 flipper or 380:1 lifter which changes the gearing via radio gear. The flipper/lifter is powered via a cam that is mounted under the flipper and drives the flipper up using the kinetic energy from the inner rim. There is enough energy to throw around 400-500kg. The flipper is a dual fork style flipper made from 4mm Hardox and is braced. This is designed to slide under the lowest of robots and flip them. It€™s also been engineered specifically to flip The Disc and any other robots in it€™s profile. Between the forks is enough room for the flywheel to slide in with out hitting the body and then flip. I€™m sure Frankie will have some words on this :proud: (Sorry for the lack of details on the mechanism here, but I€™m rushing this as it is)
Other Modes: Not enough time to create them. But they are a Crusher and Beta Style Hammer. They are not to be used for this series as they are not fair for others if I make them up half way through.
Drive: Infusion does not have a single set drive. Infusion has a modular drive train that can be changed from 6 Volcalon wheels powered by two LEM130€™s, to Tracks powered by LEM130€™s to Shuffle Plates powered by€¦€¦LEM130€™s. The drive is simple unbolted out and is bolted in to suit the opponents. This will also allow different combination with different weapons as if using a motivation type that will allow a slightly heavier weight limit.
Batteries: 36v @ 9AMP
Armour: 4mm Hardox/5mm Hardox and T7075 Aluminium (Inner armour)
Notes: A fully interchangeable robot, including weapon and drive.
Advantages: Weaponry, interchangeable, unique.
Disadvantages: Not the fastest in the arena.
RIPCAGE will be up tommorow and my tactics are up next.
HEAT A
The Disc 4 (1) vs Biohazard vs Infusion vs Panic 3 GTI 2
Martyn and I are teaming up here. Im going after The Disc 4. Hopefully causing some damage and taking out the Champion very early in the series. TD4 cant damage me, so Ill just have to damage him.
HEAT C
Warhead (21) vs 2Blue vs Iron Awe 3 vs Not Another Pushover 2
Get the dome roaring and do some of those w00tie gyro force dances. maybe even attack some opponents too :proud:
HEAT H
Razer (31) vs Dantomkia vs Mortis vs Tough As Nails
Big Trouble here, I have to get behind TAN and take out the ram or Put a hole in DTK and put it in the pit. Mortis will be the one to attack last.
HEAT I
Push-Ish (16) vs Dallas vs Nightmare vs The Ultimate Wedge
Push-ish sounds like a rammer, So we might be able to team up. Im going for Nightmare as soon as the buzzer goes, get in there, under the disc, stall it and flip! game over.
HEAT K
Annoying Box Rush (12) vs Firestorm V vs Mr Nasty vs Rip Cage
Ill spin up the flywheel on RIPCAGE and attack FireStorm. Will probably get some Annoying Box Rushes from Nick, so Ill just keep dodging his attacks.
HEAT L
Black Chalkie Beard (26) vs Gyrate vs Insecticide vs Sonic Boom
First Battle for Gyrate. Lets hope it makes a very big IMPACT :proud: Aiming to spin up here, get that 1.4MJ happening and attack who ever has the weakest armour. then move onto whatevers left.
HEAT M
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 (8) vs Dieceratops Invertus vs Infernal Contraption vs Tsunami 2
TEAR THEM ALL TO PIECES!!!! ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK! Destroy them all till nothing is left moving. *Insert Megalo Maniac smilie here*
HEAT O
Killotine Evo (4) vs Mother Of All Bricks 2 vs Terrorhurtz vs Wrecktangle
Im the Brick with a lotta push! Im going to try to stack them all in the pit. Maybe Stevo and I can team up in this.
I think this is the first time ever that I have posted a full set of tactics for every robots battle! :proud:
Here are my tactics for each of my battles, some I think Ive got a chance some I dont...
Psyclone (17) vs Pulveriser vs Squish vs Voltronic
Nice first battle for Psyclone here, if Dan wants to team up maybe he can grab €˜em and I can attack. I€™ll be going for PulverizeR€™s wheels first, and then I€™ll go and attack Voltronic.
Son Of Ripper 4.0 (9) vs Back On The Chain Gang vs Juggerbee 3.0 vs Rippoff Yet Again
For the first time I can safely spin my rear disc up and keep it spinning safely for the whole fight! :proud: I am going for Rippoff Yet Again first, slide the front flipper blade under and toss it over hopefully stalling the ring. Then I€™m going to have to go for Juggerbee 3.0, being the less powerful pusher. Hopefully my disc will slice through its armour and I can get through to something inside.
Flipping Mad TU (11) vs No Close Shave 2 vs Stinger vs Wedga Revo
First of all, slide under the sides of No Close Shave 2 and toss it over, then push it into a wall where the self-righter will just roll it against the wall, therefore it can€™t get back to its wheels. Then I€™ll open the pit and use the front scoop to try and try to pit Stinger, or slice its wheels with the arena disc.
Razer (31) vs Dantomkia vs Mortis vs Tough As Nails
I€™m going for Mortis first; hopefully I can get a nice slam on the sides and immobilize the tracks. Hopefully Razer wont be maneuverable enough to get round the back and take out the ram, so I€™ll next go for Dantomkia and try to pit it.
Forcepower Turbo (28) vs Disconstructor vs El Persistence vs The Raven
Now this is what I€™ve been looking forwards too. First of all I€™ll take out El Persistence, with only one motor, it will be going round in circles. :) Next up, Disconstructor, slam the disc into the arena walls to stall it and then dump it down the pit.
Hypertension Mk2 (24) vs Geforce vs Tazbot vs TIRTASM
TIRTASM, eh? :proud: Get under the sides, send it into orbit. I€™ll do the same with Tazbot as well. Up for a HDTC team up? :wink:
Typhoon 2 (20) vs Ringmaster vs Well Buy You A New One Tomorrow Mrs Brown vs Ymir
Drive around; smack the lump of Hardox into anything that gets in my way! Spin on the spot super fast, hopefully I€™ll catch a robot and put some nice dents in.
WX 6.0 (2) vs Little Sister vs VGer vs X Terminator
I€™m going to use the Hardox scoop and skirt the sides; this should mean Little Sister will have trouble getting under. Then I can use the scoop to tackle the spinners. I€™m not sure who to go for, but I€™ll have a go at ramming one of them down the pit.
Geforce vs Killotine Evo vs Surgeon General
First, I€™ll go for Surgeon General and make it fly around the arena. Hopefully I can flip it into the arena disc€¦
With Killy, it might be a bit tougher, but my drive should be able to slide under its skirts and then I€™ll send it flying too.
The Disc 4 vs Psyclone vs Wrecktangle
Time for total annihilation, this is for WX5.0! Spin up to maximum speed as soon as possible and go for the champion€™s wheels. I don€™t care how think the material is or what shape they are, I€™m going to attack, damage and shake the internals to death. When my body is spinning, he is going to have huge problems getting a hit in on the dome. Once he is splattered to death, onto Wrecktangle, eat up the titanium and splatter it across the arena too.
WX 6.0 & Forcepower Turbo vs Leprosy Infection & Mega Masher 2
WX6.0 with the scoop and skirts, ForcePower Turbo with its flappy things on the wedge. WX6.0 will be in goal, and ForcePower Turbo will use its extreme power to barge down the pitch with the ball and smash it into the net.
Good Luck Richard! Looks like another fantastic series comming up!
To save some time and space, I wont be posting my tactics until my Heats actually roll around. Expact my predictions later on, though, cause there may be a lot :proud:
Looks like the PTT has lost its crown as the Hardest Series to Judge, Richie and I just know this season is going to rule, big time! :proud:
Same with Steve, I shall post my tactics when its time for one of my heats, although try not to rush with them, like starting a heat just after a heat final, it doesnt give people enough reasonable time for tactics.
HEAT B
Manic Monsoon (3) vs Cholera vs Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint vs Slammer IV
Oooh, goody:proud: Im thinking Cholera first, purely because Im not sure whether I want to tangle with MM. After that, Ill form a pact with MM and kill of Slammer, as they should be cannon fodder compared with MM.
HEAT C
Tempest Evil-er-ution (5) vs Bender vs Hacked Off Ha-ka vs M.O.E
Frank, care to kill the real machines off. I slam the axe in and you take them apart, preferabbly leaving the axe hole :wink:
HEAT D
Windiest Killer Just Got Windier (7) vs Cuffy vs Orka Mk3 vs Pink Panther
I feel like charging after Pink Panther first, hopefully taking them apart with Daves weapon (Yes, were teaming up) possibly using the anti-vertical disc weapon( Yes, I know that seems odd) and keeping on flipping them and allowing Cuffy to disc em.
HEAT E
Son Of Ripper 4.0 (9) vs Back On The Chain Gang vs Juggerbee 3.0 vs Rippoff Yet Again
erm.. ram, drm, damage, flip and basically... win:proud: Im not scared of anything, but then I know how good they are as well. Ill stay away from SOR unless I have to, and basically get the oters.
HEAT H
The Crashing Bore (15) vs Constrictor vs In-terror-fied vs Storm 2
Frank, care to get the realies? I take on Constrictor whilst you weather the storm?:P
HEAT L
NSBFR-X (10) vs Forklifts Revenge vs Hassocks Hog 2 vs Roo 2
Spin u and hit anything taht gets in the way. If Im not being bothered, Ill take on HH2 and then Forklift.
HEAT M
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 (8) vs Dieceratops Invertus vs Infernal Contraption vs Tsunami 2
Hypertension Mk2 (24) vs Geforce vs Tazbot vs TIRTASM
Grr.... 2 machines:sad:
Tsunami 2 will flip Dieceratops and C, Aaron, care to gang up?
Hypertension will team up with AJ(Gosh, loads of team-uos:proud:)rolling TIRTASM and the other thing around;)
Ditto.
HEAT B
Manic Monsoon (3) vs Cholera vs Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint vs Slammer IV
So youd go for my second most achieving bot would you matty, well I am personally going to go like hell for Monsoon, pick best applicable weapons and go for it with everythign, its been getting irritating lately and I intend to stop it.
HEAT E
Achilles (25) vs Chip vs Hefty Kick In The Balls vs Surgeon General
Turn over everyone then slam them into the wall, hkitb should be vulnerable to attack from behind i think.
HEAT F
Wedge Devolution (27) vs Blizzard vs Glasgow Kiss vs Happy Birthday Party Pooper
Go for anyone, push them around and attempt to diable them
HEAT G
Scottishly Fictional (13) vs Baldur vs Overkill vs Srimech Not Included
Slam them into the wall, im practically indestructable so dont need to worry about damaging wepons so lsma emm hard.
HEAT H
Razer (31) vs Dantomkia vs Mortis vs Tough As Nails
dont see much of a way out this one
HEAT I
Leprosy Infection (32) vs Disco Dancer 2.5 vs Dominator 2 vs Tengu VI
spin into the softest armour and disable them
HEAT J
Angel Of The Abyss (14) vs Ankle Biter The Second vs B.A.Der vs Flippa Frenzay Mk6
spin into the softest armour again, get rid of the weak, less bots make it easier for me
HEAT P
Heir To Black Panther IV (18) vs Star 69 vs The Doomsday Project vs Wedgie 5
flip and stab in the underbelly, followed by hit and run
I will also post my tactics when the heat comes around.
Heat A Tactics: I am going to go after Voltronic, after decideing to team up with Psyclone.
quote:
A fully interchangeable robot, including weapon and drive.
Grrr... Stole my idea :wink:
There is actually a lot more to the Infusion design that i never had time to implement, like the interchangeable walker system, the interchangeable armour, the extra weapons, the drive gearing and the electronics.
Maybe Infusion 2.0 will come close to the original design :proud:
Sorry for putting two of your machines in the same heat, Matty. Heres a change:
HEAT F
Flipping Mad TU (11) vs Stinger vs Tsunami 2 vs Wedga Revo

Cant decide a winner here either, but very proud to see Wedge Devo get the Belt first :proud:
Theres no doubt in my mind that every single one of these pre-disc-tions will be wrong :proud:, but its still going to be one hell of a War. Good luck, Richie :) (know youll know how it feels trying to pick winners in the latest PTT - frustrating :wink:)
Well, here go my tactics, Ive a uneasy feeling about my opponents but......
HEAT C
Tempest Evil-er-ution (5) vs Bender(me) vs Hacked Off Ha-ka vs M.O.E
Spin the disc as fast as it can & damage anyone while avoiding opponents weapons
HEAT D
Disco 5 (23) vs Bulldog Breed vs Killer B(me) vs Starstorm 2
Maybe team up with Bulldog Breed (if feasible) & avoid Discos well, disc while pushing him to CPZs
HEAT H
Razer (31) vs Dantomkia(me) vs Mortis vs Tough As Nails
OOER!! Erm, Keep away from TaN & Razer, flip Mortis OOTA & I dont know what to do with the others
HEAT L
NSBFR-X (10) vs Forklifts Revenge vs Hassocks Hog 2(me) vs Roo 2
Flipp Forklift OOTA & maybe the same for the 10th seed
HEAT M
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 (8) vs Dieceratops Invertus vs Infernal Contraption(me) vs Tsunami 2
If feasible, team up with Dieceratops & damage MDU with disc, then batter Tsunami while avoiding its flipper
HEAT N
SD IV (6) vs Aces & Eights(me) vs Scimiter vs Supernova
Keep away from Supernovas front & push it into CPZs, as for SD IV, same tactics
HEAT O
Killotine Evo (4) vs Mother Of All Bricks 2 vs Terrorhurtz(me) vs Wrecktangle
Break Killotines hammer & keep away from Wrecktangles weapon, as for the other, Rich can decide how I take it on
HEAT P
WX 6.0 (2) vs Little Sister(me) vs VGer vs X Terminator
Flip X-Terminator OOTA & the same for WX 6.0
Other games, Ill sort later
One problem, there are no OOTAs. :)
quote:
If feasible, team up with Dieceratops & damage MDU with disc
*Raises Eyebrows*
Yes, it definitely works:proud:
I dont beleive there are CPZs either...
AJs right, Tom - the arenas a box with a pit that opens for 10 seconds, and a horizontal disc in a corner.
Steven - yes, I know exactly how picking winners feels!
Bull. Those I intended to throw OOTA Ill push into pit quickly, even those I wouldve intended to shove in *alleged* CPZs then
I think you (Steve+Tom) are forgetting the change round. Tsunami 2 and No Close Shave have swapped.
Slight change...Now, I WILL post tactics now.
MAIN WARS
CHOLERA (Heat B)
Stay away from Manic Monsoon and attack the other two, lifting them up and pitting them.
ORKA MK3 (Heat D)
Attack Pink Panther
JUGGERBEE 3.0 (Heat E)
Stay away from SOR
OVERKILL (Heat G)
Straight for SNI
LEPROSY INFECTION (32, Heat I)
Attack Dominator 2
DIECERATOPS INVERTUS (Heat M)
To Reply to Tom: Unlikely, since we are not fighting Tsunami. Attack IC and stay away from the seed.
MEGA MASHER 2 (Heat N)
Try to stay on the same side as the seed, team up, and work it out from there.
WRECKTANGLE (Heat O)
Stay in a league with Killotine and attack the others. Try to stay on the same side as the seed.
EVENTS
DIECERATOPS INVERTUS (Annihilator contest)
Just attack anything
WRECKTANGLE (AC)
Team up with Psyclone in his bid to get rid of The Disc and work it out from there
LEPROSY INFECTION AND MEGA MASHER 2 (Football)
See stats for changes made to robots for this event. Mega Masher will be in goal, sideways, using all the body to block the goal. Leprosy Infection will be attacking the ball and scoring the goals.
JUGGERBEE 3.0 (Challenge Belt)
Depends on the oppodents, but the basic idea, whatever oppodent I have, is to ram.
And there you go.
HEAT A
The Disc 4 (1) vs Biohazard (Me) vs Infusion vs Panic 3 GTI 2
Slide under whoevers the closest, lift them up and parade them across the arena before hopefully dumping them into the pit.
Heat C
Warhead (21) vs 2Blue (Me) vs Iron Awe 3 vs Not Another Pushover 2
Team up with Warhead and go for Iron Awe and toss him around the arena, and then go for No Another Pushover
HEAT D
Windiest Killer Just Got Windier (7) vs Cuffy vs Orka Mk3 vs Pink Panther (Me)
If Chris wants to team up, Ill go for Windiest Killer. Ill be using the Wedge of Doom lifting arm for this battle.
Heat E
Achilles (25) vs Chip vs Hefty Kick In The Balls vs Surgeon General (Me)
Team up with Achilles, take on HKINB and try to damage him as much as possible with the disc.
Heat G
Wheely Pure Evil 2 (29) vs Deep Impact 2 (Me) vs Revenge Of Revenge Of The Bludgeonator vs Seggy The Third
Team up with ROROTB and go for Wheely, aim for the wheels and try to cut them off with the discs.
Heat I
Leprosy Infection (32) vs Disco Dancer 2.5 (Me) vs Dominator 2 vs Tengu VI
Team up with Tengu and go for Dominator. Ill will aim for his sides as much as possible and my aim aim will be to flip him over and then rip off his axe whilst hes trying to self right.
HEAT J
Angel Of The Abyss (14) vs Ankle Biter The Second (Me) vs B.A.Der vs Flippa Frenzay Mk6
Team up with AOTA and aim for Flippa Frenzay. Hit him as much as possible with the drum, inflicting hopefully major damage!
Heat K
Forcepower Turbo (28) vs Disconstructor vs El Persistence (Me) vs The Raven
Go for Disconstructor and slam him around the arena as much as possible. Then go for Forcepower and try to do the same.
Okay, here are my tactics! :)
Whirligig 4.0 (19) vs Battle Rat vs Growling Storm 2.5 vs National Speed Limit Applies
Go for Battle Rat first, and grab onto its side with the jaws and push it down the pit, then go after National Speed Limit Applies, and team up with Whirligig 4.0 to take it out, as the spinner on Whirligig 4.0 should do some mean damage to NSA, hopefully immobilising him, then try and get NSA down the pit.
Warhead (21) vs 2Blue vs Iron Awe 3 vs Not Another Pushover 2
Team up with Warhead. Ill go in and easily pit Iron Awe 3, which shouldnt be any problem at all, while Warhead goes after 2Blue and trashes it, it should easily do so, then I shall get underneath the high ground clearence of 2Blues sides and pit it, this should not be a problem at all! :)
Disco 5 (23) vs Bulldog Breed vs Killer B vs Starstorm 2
Flip Killer B up on its side, or on its back if it cant self-right, then pit it. Once that easy job is out of the way, Ill manouver to the side of whoevers easier to get underneath without taking damage, and pit them too! :)
Son Of Ripper 4.0 (9) vs Back On The Chain Gang vs Juggerbee 3.0 vs Rippoff Yet Again
Go for Juggerbee 3.0, as its the weakest of the three out there, I shouldnt have any problem at all immobilising it with the disc! :) Then, Ill team up with Son Of Ripper 4.0 and immobilise Back On The Chain Gang, this shouldnt be a problem with its vulnerable wheels, and the armour shouldnt stand up to well on BOTCG either! :proud:
The Crashing Bore (15) vs Constrictor vs In-terror-fied vs Storm 2
Team up with The Crashing Bore. In-terror-fieds weapon cant do anything to me, so I should easily get underneath it and toss it down the pit. Then either Storm 2 or The Crashing Bore then should easily send Constrictor to the pit! :)
Angel Of The Abyss (14) vs Ankle Biter The Second vs B.A.Der vs Flippa Frenzay Mk6
As much as Matt thinks Ankle Biter The Second is good, its actually rather rubbish, so I should easily be able to avoid its weapon, and flip it around, and to the pit. Then team up with the more deadly machine and take out the other one.
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 (8) vs Dieceratops Invertus vs Infernal Contraption vs No Close Shave 2
Simple plan here, team up with Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 and I shall grab onto Infernal Contraption and pit it while MDU 3.1 beats the living sh!t out of Dieceratops Invertus! :proud:
Dervish V/ (22) vs Mega Masher 2 vs Total Bast**d vs Windchiller
Its Wind Chiller by the way, two names, not one. Anyways, If Danny would like to team up in this one, then Wind Chiller can go for Mega Masher 2 and pit it by getting underneath it from the side and bringing it to the black square hole in the ground, while Dervish V/ can attack Total B**tard.
The should all work hopefully according to plan. :proud:
Having noticed a technical error in Doomsdays stats (TY, Mr Knight :P), I would like to exchange the Etek powering the weapon with an LEM-170 (36v) and upgrade the drive to 36v too.
Hope thats OK, Richie :)
I is back. Arriva still suck, I dont care who you think is worse, Arriva is actually officially the worst train service around.
Stats up monday at the latest, but then theres another problem... NTL (My ISP) is undergoing maintenance and I cant get online without using my sisters computer. This isnt a BIG problem, its just Disc 4 and Tempest need KJ and weight checking and I need the online KJ checker:lame:
Although as I said... Monday at the latest, and thats not a promise, its a fact.
Hey, Matt, never complain that a person is over-cocky, then BE over-cocky yourself.
