The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament
HEAT I
ROUND 2
1) Hacked-Off Ha-ka (28) VS Ringwraith
Mattys axe to give Ringwraith a real ringing in its ears :proud:. Possibly a KO or a pitting with the greater pushiness
2) Gravity 4.5 (5) VS Hector
Being unable to find a pic of Gravity, its hard to say here. Perhaps Alex could pull off a surprise here...

Gives the basic idea
The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament
Keep well away from Ha-kas front, focus on its sides and aim to smash it or flip it. If I flip it, chase it if it runs and try to damage the axe as its selfrighting.

Ooh! Lovely exposed wheels for me to much upon!

Keep the front. He is an axlebot and therefore will be slow to manouvre. This mean I will keep the fornt acing, so if he comes anywhere near either of the wedges then Ill slam down the axe and either trap or puncture, refusing to let it go.

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Gravity will go for hectros rear and try to flip it out of the arena or into the pit.

If anyone has noticed the lack of fights for the week, I have a bullet-prove result for it...
...revision.
The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament
Thankfully my shape means Im very difficult to flip anywhere particularly, out the arena will be all night impossible as Im too broad to get voer it in one flip, im supremly un-aerodynamic

Heat I, Round 2
Fight 1
Gravity 4.5 (5) vs. Hector
In round 1, Gravity flipped out Aquarius via the side wall. Whereas Hector removed the wheel on Tazbot to get though on a KO.
Both robots are in the arena, Martyn is wearing a pretty cool pair of sunglasses, who did he nick those off?

The power from Gravity 4.5 accelerate it away from the starting square, the wheels are protected from spinners and are outside the main robot so that only a good aim with a crusher can stop then turning, Hector is waiting, as Martyn comes straight into the attack, ramming underneath the front itself of Hector. The claws start to come in, but can€™t break the tough titanium, as Gravity 4.5 fires the flipper sending Hector up into the sky.
Alex€™s robot lands, but Martyn has come onto to play with it and flips it over the side with a hop from the power, has Gravity put on yet more power? Alex turns around on the spot to get the claws into play, but Gravity 4.5 has rammed into it once more and is pushing Hector backwards, the claws are holding onto the titanium for dear life, as Gravity flips it high up again. The claws can€™t get a grip on the titanium to crush, as it comes back down to earth.
Once more, Martyn is onto the attack, as he gets the front flipper underneath Hector, and lifting up the front, so that the wheels are off the ground, pushes backwards, as the wheels on Hector are spinning as Alex is trying to get grip on the steel surface, as Gravity 4.5 is getting nearer the arena wall, lining up the attack quickly and firing the flipper, as Hector is lifted up, the width not helping but another quick fire from Gravity 4.5 as Hector finally exits the arena via the fence.
Cease
Hector, walked all over nobody and is fired from the boardroom, Gravity 4.5 adds another robot to it€™s flipping success and moves into it€™s heat final
Fight 2
Hacked off Ha-ka (28) vs. Ringwraith
In round 1, Hacked off Ha-ka axed Tazbot to death, where Ringwraith got lucky. Both robots are in the arena, with Richard in Ringwraith€™s control booth, but Tony is standing in for Matt who is currently banned from the pc for some reason or another. Will Tony get revenge?

Ringwraith has reversed against the wall to get the drum up to full speed, as Hacked off Ha-ka starts to drive forward, Tony doesn€™t know how to control Hacked off Ha-ka, as it has a South African control system, as Hacked off Ha-ka comes around the corner to meet the awful Ringwraith, with it€™s red devil eyes looking across with the drum of doom and destruction awaiting some food, as Hacked off Ha-ka comes flying into attack.
Richard moves forward, as the axe fires to get a hit onto the drum itself, but the axe bounces away as Ringwraith rams straight into the front panel of Hacked off Ha-ka, the wedge takes the impact well, but another impact sends the 4WD robot onto it€™s back, another attack from Ringwraith, as Hacked off Ha-ka is flown into the air with the attack. Hacked off Ha-ka lands on it€™s side before rolling onto it€™s top, it is invertible, so it doesn€™t matter, but the axe is now out of action, as Tony drives Hacked off Ha-ka into the pit release.
Ringwraith cuts off Hacked off Ha-ka and hits into it once more, flipping it against the wall, the side armour has started to pull away at the edge, and another attack, and the lithium cardboard has come away, damage to the robot, as Ringwraith comes in onto another attack, flipping Hacked off Ha-ka over onto the pit release button itself, the axe fires, self-righting Hacked off Ha-ka as it lands on it€™s wheels the bottom side down, and runs before Ringwraith can attack again.
Tony turns and gets his bearings, as he sees Ringwraith heading straight for it, he waits and fires the axe, into the spinning drum, and pushes forward, but once more, Hacked off Ha-ka is flipped over, and another attack from Ringwraith sends the 28th seed packing over the arena fence and down into the mush pit.
Cease
Hacked off Ha-ka hacked off and exits the arena via the camera track with several million scars on it€™s armour. Ringwraith spins to the heat final
