ROUND 1
BATTLE 4
Axe to Fall VS METAL SONIC SPIN DASH
Zip around to the sides, scrape under the 7mm ground clearance and nibble those wheels. Smash around the arena a few times and dump it in the pit, presuming there is one. I dont think Daves told us about the arena yet. :lame:
In the lack of any pits, ram and nibble to death.
BATTLE 12
Counter VS TURBO TAILS
Charge spinner-first and dig in. :proud:
DEATH THREAT 0.1 VS Boxy
Erm... Crush.
IF CATS HAD WHEELS WE COULD HAVE CAT RACES, HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE VS SoR Hex
Get to the sides and flip around, hopefully get it out.
Tenderizers Revenge 2 vs. Resonance
Spin up, rush in and try to catch an edge of the armour with the drum. The ti/polycarb armour shouldnt put up too much of a hassle. Avoid the front wedge, attack the sides and back.
Flyte vs. Autoism
Id love to scream overweight right now, but its up to the author to police that :proud:. Tactic to use against Autosim is a tactic of patience, basically, @ 23MPH it will be a hard robot to control and will spend most of its time sliding around and crashing into the walls. Ill bid time by dodging his attacks, wait till he runs into a wall then slide under the corner of a skirt (Ala Voltronic VS Biohazard) and flip him. Will try to stack him against the wall or flip him out the arena. Im not worried about his weapon because of the amount of armour I have, and the sloped sides on Flyte make gripping the bot hard, even just for lifting.
I dont see this being an easy or a hard battle, its more of a case of catch his mistakes as a driver and capitalising on them. I knew I should have entered a spinner for this match :proud:
If its all the same to you, Ill post tactics later. Im not feeling at all well right now, nor have I been for 4 days.
Hope youre feeling better soon Chris.
I cant find stats for Hypertension, but I know enough to know that its a flipper which is less than I need to know, so just so you know these tactics might not be completely in the know, you know?
Tactics: Grab, push, pit.
Bit worried about May Tracks opponant, it seems to be a challenging first round... I guess all I can do is try to get under it and flip it OOTA as soon as possible, or Im dead. Not happy about my chances at all:lame:

OK! My predictions and tactics!
Acronyms vs. Hypertension Mk 3: I dont think that the shape of Hypertension is going to help Acronyns a awful lot, so I predict that HYpertension is going to place Acronyns down the pit.
Baldur vs. Tira 3: Tira cant self-right and might not be fast enough to combat Baldur. Alex to place Tira on its side and win.
Orka MK4 vs. Avarice (4): Again, another nasty battle for Kodys robot, and another loss I feel, as Orka pushes it down the pit.
Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs. Axe To Fall: A one-sided fight I believe, and it will go the way of Martijn and Axe To Fall, wholl win on a JD.
Wedgas Revenge vs. GBOD: I might go for a victory for the very-resistant Wedga
Flick of the Wrist vs. Forklift 2 (3): Im guessing that the lifting forks of Flick shall get underneath the skirts. If that happens then Martijn shall get another robot in the next round.
Tenderizers Revenge 2 vs. Resonance: Im going for Resonance, as I believe it can seriously damage Richards robot.
Disco-Tech 2 vs. BIACS-LE: I have no idea.
Drilla Killa 7 vs. D-J: Drilla KIlla to resist the blows from the discs and pit Tims robot.
Nitro-Gene 2 (2) vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus: I believe I can win this fight if I just stay away from the nose of the robot. If he gets under, use my high ground clearance to drive off the flipper. If I get around the sies/rear of Die-Ceratops, waste no time, just get under and then push him into the sides and toss him over.
Flyte vs. Autosim: Another blast! This time a much less experienced robot but one that could do well. I have more power, so charge head-on and lower down the claw so it dig into the ground, allowing me to get underneath the front. After that, crush down and keep hold. Dont let go or try anything clever, just go for the pit release button, and keeping hold, push him down.
Turbo Tails vs. Counter: I know the stats for Counter and I predict he might win this as it can kill spinners in the best way possible.
Shiny Happy People vs. The May Tracks Have You (1): May Tracks.
Eternia vs. Dante: A tricky battle, but Ill go for Eternia.
Death Threat 0.1 vs. Boxy: Death Threat 0.1 to win here.
SOR Hex vs. Cat With Wheels: SOR Hex to get underneath and flick the Cat OOTA.
Hope these predictions suit you fine.
D-J: Spin up and hit Drilla Killa 7 and make sure that he never hits the pit switch.
Counter: wait until turbo tails spins up then drive straight into the disc thus the acid will melt turbo tails to death.David against Turbo Tails can I put on a Mario sticker on Counter just to annoy Tails.
Tactics:
GBOD, spin up asap, then manouver slowly not to lose to much momentum on the shell and slam full power into Wedgas revenge when it gets within 50 cm.
Repeat several times if nessassery. :)
Eternia vs Dante, Rush in as soon as possible, come in at an angle to avoid the disk and drive him up to the arena side wall and flip him out.

I dont think Daves told us about the arena yet
Oops, its the same as the last series, which is basically a standard robot wars arena, with just the pit and some side fencing.
OK, extra plan for Turbo Tails.
If Counters acid weapon somehow turns out to be halfway plausible, simply charge in, flip it over and dump it in the pit. :lame:
