I also have some comments to make, really some people take this far too serious, someone makes a comment and a part of the forum uproars into arguments, the same way the old Inet forum when down the pot, the admin got fed up with all the arguments and shut it down.
Really on here, if someone designed a really really crap machine; people will say €œit will be excellent Mr X, well done€ etc. You get the point that some people are a**elickers, not wanting to cause a fuss, yes-men who say yes to everything. I€™m not sure about you, but I have worked with some of these yes-men and they do anything you ask, and I get fed up with it, because when you want someone to tell you if there are any mistakes in my music review, I want to be told about it not told that €œit€™s excellent Mr Sheppard, your finest review€ when I can see that I have used €œTheir€ instead of €œThere€ and those little mistakes that get ignored by Microsoft Word.
If the world was full of Yes-Men, everything will fall apart.
Also, hasn€™t anyone noticed that the current level of stats are scaring off newcomers? Also several major assumptions have been made which are and proved wrong, but still people are writing them into the fights. If you want a war based on truly the robots, and the drivers replaced by machines than here seems is the right place. But if you want a war based on half-machines and half-driving, then sadly this isn€™t the place. Maybe one day you will see the point, but maybe your head will still be high in the sky and you will completely miss the point.
Dave Sheppard
OK DAVE JUST SHUT UP, we know you hate the FRA UK style stats and thats your opionon and your in a one or two person minority so will you just SHUT IT and stop RECKING my tournament.

Point proven
My, god. If you hate it on this forum so much dave then just BU**ER OFF
The only reason people are taking this seriously, Dave is because as per usual, you dont get your own way and therefore you decide to disrupt other peoples tournaments by saying stupid little things in them. If you want to leave the FRA, then go, no one is stopping you, just leave quietly and close the door on the way out!
Yeah, Dave, can you stop raining on our parade for once? I dont have a problem with you being more intrested in ARC now, and neither does anyone else apparantly, why do you have to have a problem with US liking the FRA system? If we want to have fun with this system, let us. Nobodys stopping you from liking ARC, I dont see why you want to try and stop us.
Before I disappear for ever, might I point out that if I go down, Im taking some people down with me for tournament fixing.
Goodbye
Mr Dave, I am arresting you on suspicion of treason. You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you may rely on in court. Anything you do say will be quoted as evidence :wink:
You have the right to remain annoying!

No. Some people might say that, but Aaron, Nick, Tom, myself plus Scott and Andy (sometimes) have all been known to get on someones case if they enter something crap.

I can think of one. What are the others?

The problem with assuming one person to be a better driver than another, is that people will often assume you are biased against the one you wrote as a weaker driver. How controllable a machine is takes second fiddle to driver skill Can you imagine Typhoon in the hands of an amatuer?

Been mentioned before, will probably be mentioned again. Prove it.
Well said Frank, it seems a petty argument to me but who am i to judge.
Right. Now that this seems to have died out, I suppose this is a good time for predictions.
Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus VS Pussycat (17)
Dieceratops, no contest.
Flaming Hell VS S.D. IV (1)
Tough to say. Flaming Hell has brute force, but SD IV has the power of being the champion and speed and armor, and not nearly as much brute force. Itll be close, but Im pretty sure the champ will come out on top.
My tactics: Because its a low box shape, my cage will be able to hiot it well, and make a mess of the domed sides. Also, I wanna know how far its blade sticks out the front, because I dont think itll hit FHs main body (I know I never specified, but the outer part of the cage is 60mm from the body, so if its less than that, the robot is going to get hit before the blade touches my body
I predict an early exit for both seeds here, and then Flaming hell to take out Die-Ceratops in the final.
If you are still reading this Dave (I presume not) and you havent blocked me (I presume not) and want to talk (you guessed it) then please have a chat with me, I need to ask a few questions before you go, as I couldnt at the time you left as I was not here.
Anyway, back to the tournament...
Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus VS Pussycat (17)
Spin up, and cause as much outer and inner damage as possible without getting attacked to much. Ill try and get this one via damage on a judges verdict.
Ive faced Pussycat before with Die Ceratops Invertus, and I beat it then. Get underneath the high ground clearance, and flip it out, or around if I cant do that.

And that means youll beat it because...?
Results change over time, mate.

This is why I always said people like Mr. Knight should come up with a driving test for robots.
That means, Tom, that I know I CAN beat it, and it is POSSIBLE that I can beat it again...its not the usual under-confident attitude I normally have when competing.
Plus, Dieceratops is improved [I think, cant be assed to check] and If it beat Pussycat before, the improved version should have a even easier time.
Not always the case, but thanks for the back-up.
Dont forget that Pussycat might have improved too though. I dont know which version was entered last time so I cant tell you.
Yeah, but every version of Pussycats been pretty easy to flip around so it doesnt make too much difference.
Yes, you are right there, flipping Pussycat does bugger all... :wink:
Apart from stopping it attacking you, changing which way its facing, causing impact damage from flips and maybe sending it out of the arena.
Funky Cow Eater 2 vs Archangel of the Abyss vs Disc-O-Inferno vs GigaByte
Go for Disc-O-Inferno first, TAN pitted it pretty easy in S7 and Im hoping Giga can do the same. After that, Ill work of Funky Cow Eater 2 and try to pit that too. Fancy a team-up Alex?
Yeh sure Ill team up, I should be able to knock disco without too much difficulty: its not massivly sturdy.

HEAT A
HEAT FINAL
Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS S.D. IV (1)
Same plan here that I had with Wheely Big Cheese last season. Avoid the flipper and slip the saw under the sides. Either munch away at the big wheels or just slam it around the Warzone. Or both. :proud:
Before the heat a final lets see how the heat finalists got here
In round 1 die-ceratops flipped anarchy and reigning champion SD IV showed it the pit
In the other melee flaming hell ripped into 17th seed pussycat but the 17th seed ripped of vampire killer€™s aerial
In round 2 die-ceratops re-invertus flipped the 17th pussycat out of the arena after taking some damage from the cat.
SD IV had trouble damaging flaming hell but managed to pit the newcomer

SD IV pushes die-ceratops into the corner patrol zone of shunt, who smacks down on die-ceratops leaving a small dent for his trouble, shunt uses the scoop and lifts die ceratops away from the 1st and keeps it in the cp, SD IV backs off, die-ceratops slips under shunt and flips over the house robot. Die-ceratops backs out of the cpz but into the awaiting SD IV who pushes the flipper robot onto the flame pit, die-ceratops only just escapes but SD IV narrows down on die-ceratops€™s angle of escape and pushes the newcomer into the disc of doom activate button, SD IV backs off as die-ceratops escapes the wall, but is now moving slower than before, SD IV zooms off after the newcomer but die ceratops spins round and gets under the reigning champion and flips it and SD IV lands upside down, but its invertible so SD IV spins around and starts pushing at the front of die-ceratops but it doesn€™t flip. SD IV is quickly off the flipper it gets side onto die-ceratops who tries to escape but cant and is pushed into the pit release button, SD IV spins die-ceratops around and dumps the newcomer onto the descending pit, die-ceratops fires his flipper in rage but the newcomer can€™t get off the pit and down the pit it goes.

House robots: Mr psycho and Growler
Archangel of the abyss (3) V tails V Supreme Glory Gamma
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
As activate is called tails and archangel start to spin up to speed. Supreme glory gamma and tails turn and head towards the 3rd seed, Gamma is first to go on the attack and with the long axe can attack archangel without being hit by archangel, the veteran brings down its axe but because archangel is at full speed gamma is sent spinning away, Tails goes in with its bar thing spinning and smacks the dangerous archangel causing the lower disc on archangel to slow but not before it rips some fur of tails and tips into the titanium armour. Tails, backs off as supreme glory gamma comes in to attack archangel but it can€™t fire the axe quick enough and is knocked onto its side by the heavy full bodied spinner, gamma self rights quickly as tails hits the pit release button. Tails charges at archangel and is lucky enough to get under the 3rd seed and flips but because it€™s spinning it the 3rd seed isn€™t flipped. Gamma comes in and smacks tails from the side on, the carbon tipped axe smacks down and leaves a dent in the flipper.
Archangel recovering from the earlier attack is teamed up on again and is pushed into Psycho€™s cpz. The axe comes down and smacks on the top of the 3rd seed doing more damage to psychos hammer than the 3rd seed. Archangel who isn€™t spinning is attacked by tails who finally manages to flip the 3rd seed over. Archangel activates its srimech as supreme glory gamma smacks its axe into the bottom of the ex semi-finalist. Archangel is back on its legs but tails and gamma team up to push it before it can start to spin back up and push it down the pit.
CEASE
Archangel of the Abyss (3) sent straight to hell
Supreme Glory Gamma and Tails got through to round 2.
Mega Verter (19) V Dominator 2 V Sheer Hell
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
House robots: Dead Metal and Sgt. Bash
Mega verter heads after sheer hell who goes straight for dominator 2. Sheer Hell at near full speed smacks into the rear of dominator 2 with its horizontal disc. Dominator spins around and smacks the axe onto the disc of sheer hell but it just bounces off of it. Mega verter comes in behind sheer hell and the powerful flipper flips the rear 259 disc and sheer hell goes up into the air and lands right side up, dominator is quick to attack the side of sheer hell and manages to get the axe to scratch the top of sheer hell, who turns and smacks the wheel of dominator 2 with the front horizontal disc causing sparks to fly. Dominator 2 comes back on the attack but sheer hell smacks the side of dominator 2 again hitting the wheel but this time with the vertical disc flipping the 3 time robot wars semi finalist. Mega verter flips sheer hell from the front causing sheer hell to go over. Before sheer hell can selfright dominator 2 sticks its axe in the bottom of the newcomer. Dominator 2 pushes sheer hell into dead metal€™s cpz, the housebot grabs the twin disced robot and tries to saw into it, leaving a small slit where it sawed in, sheer hell selfrights using its srimech and gets its discs up to speed. Mega verter gets under the side of dominator 2 and sends it over the wall.
Cease
Dominator 2 didn€™t exactly dominate there.
