Roo 2s ring might be too high to hit the twins, as its only 1 cm thick.
Im thinking of using the rear end off one part to ram into Roo 2 to stop the spinner and enforce 166 Kj back onto itself. Worst case, one part of BCB being killed by the impact, but as Roo 2 doesnt have any shock-proofing, its a case of Supernova once more.
With any thing, the other part will open the pit, and wait, away from Roo 2 incase it goes mad when one part hits into it.
After that delay, lets carry on!
After that tough Round 1, lets see if Round 2 will be just as fun, as NSBFR-X (with a scoop and latch) prepares to meet the repaired Sonic Boom!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
NSBFR-X and Sonic Boom came rolling into each other, Sonic Boom sliding off NSBFR-Xs wedge before it could be gripped and spinning to bring its axe into the side! As NSBFR-X tried to turn into Sonic Boom, the axlebot kept at its side and brought down its axe, only making a scratch! The two robots simply turned around on the spot, not doing much at all! Eventually, NSBFR-X shifted then ran at Sonic Boom with its latch, but Sonic Boom reversed away, outrunning the 10th seed! At a safe distance, it decided to be more aggressive and came back towards NSBFR-X, going up one side of the wedge again and going a bit topsy-turvy! Unfortunately, this provided an oppotunity for NSBFR-X to turn around and catch Sonic Boom on its wedge, managing to grasp the axle with its latch and trapping the axlebot! NSBFR-X quickly went at full speed to the arena disc, turning as it got there so Sonic Booms right wheel bore the brunt of the spinner - but if the Hardox wheel hub could survive Gyrate, it could certainly survive that! Not giving up, NSBFR-X turned Sonic Boom straight back into the disc! The rubber on the wheel was scratched a little, but was hardly affected, even when NSBFR-X gave it yet another slam into the arena disc, giving itself a nick in the process! A fourth hit deepened the scratch, but it still wasnt having a significant effect! Getting bored, and knowing its pin time limit was running down, NSBFR-X sped to the pit release, and soon it had dropped Sonic Boom out of VFT6!
CEASE!
NSBFR-X GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!
Now what will happen when clusterbot Black Chalkie Beard meets spinner Roo 2?
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Black Chalkie Beard split, and while Black went to wait by the pit release, Beard chased down Roo 2, who ran away to get itself spinning, and managed to keep ahead of Beard long enough to do so! Turning around, Beard reversed towards Roo 2, who came to meet it! The crash resonated around the arena as both robots spun away from each other in a blur! Smashed into the wall, Beard was disorientated, but managed to recover as Roo 2 came towards it again! Roo 2 hit the rear of Beard again, sending the clusterbot half bouncing off the wall and just missing it on its return journey! Before Beard could get going again, Roo 2 gave it a whack on the side, towards the closed pit! This time, Beard recovered and dodged Roo 2s next advance, then turned around and used its rear again! As Beard went spinning towards its twin Black, Roo 2 was sent in the wall, bouncing towards the twins as well! Black quickly went to catch Roo 2 while its spinner was slowed, giving it a bounce at first, but that sent it into another wall which slowed it even more, so the still functioning Beard could capture it on its swords! Black immediately hit the release, and Beard sent Roo 2 towards the opening pit, giving it a lift over the edge with its swords!
CEASE!
BLACK CHALKIE BEARD GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!
Heat L Final:
NSBFR-X (10) vs Black Chalkie Beard (26)
I will wait for Franks setup to post proper tactics.
However, the aim will be to use the control of both robots to an advantage and outdrive NSBFR-X, to get around its side, to hopefully use the momentum to get underneath the skirts and lift it up and dump into the pit, opened by one part of BCB.
Ill fit the spinning bar. As each piece is only 50 KGs, each hit should smash the parts far away from me so they cant effectively attack, and who knows I may be able to shock-kill them as well. I should certainly be able to rip the forks free to stop them getting under.
I lost count of how many people have called the swords, forks.
If Frank is fitting the bar, the simple thing will be to dodge around the sides, by using the lower top speed, but pretty wel instant acceleration and control. Im not that fussed in losing to NSBFR-X, cos its so good.
Swords, forks, knives, spoons... Same difference they can still be torn off:proud:
That what you think, for this fight I will be using the 10cm swords for max flip effect, bearing in mind 5cm is within the body, so that the rams are away from the impact area.
Its the hinges that are the weak point. Remember Crushtacian vs Supernova?
I know the hinges are the weak point, but the only connection point that can be hit is the pivot, even then, that takes a good shot to disable both pivots (remember the swords work at different times)
Change of tactics, as soon as I can, flip NSBFR-X over to make the spinning bar useless, then, hmm, get underneath the rear and lift the rear wheels off the ground with the swords, then push, as the other twin opens the pit.
The bar works both ways up, which is why I use it when its possible for me to get flipped.
