The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008

Good plan Steven. But there are a few things that I have in my favour - the skirts on Nitro-Gene 4.0 link up at the Corners, so Stevens plan wont work so well. In addition, my armour should prevent him from hurting me, and my wheels are quite hard to grab or damage.

In my favour also is my MASSIVE power advantage. I think has has 18hp - I have 36hp, and I (think) I have more traction, so I should get under. My plan is flip him over the walls - I can get under him no issue, I can push him no issue, and so I feel confident.

Good luck Steven :wink:

So Crimson Thunder is a passive ram-bot. However at 30 mph it might prove to be a bit uncontrollable at times, and those hinged skirts.

I shall fit the vertical drum weapon and dodge any forward facing attacks and try and hit the sides with the drum to cause some damage and swing the judges decision.

Power is nothing without control, young padawan. :wink:

Unless you use car steering. :)

Heat B:Round 2, Battle 1
Crimson Thunder v PCC

The rambot v the chameleon-bot, an interesting way to kick off the second round...

The house robots are the usual run-of-the-mill though, as we have sgt bash and dead metal in this fight.

Crimson Thunder sprung a big surprise on us all in round one, pushing Iron Awe 5 into the pit despite getting flipped around early on.

David has decided to use his vertical drum weapon for this round after the success of the pie-tosser flipper in round one. PCC is looking good, so Danny had better watch out!

Booth 1:Danny Bailey
Booth 2:David Sheppard
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Danny spins up as Crimson Thunder presses the pit release button and drives into the center of the arena to meet PCC.
CRASH!
The drum makes contact and flips Crimson Thunder over, but its well-armoured and takes advantage of PCCs stationary drum to get in and push it across the arena into Dead Metals gaping arms!
The house robot grabs hold and attacks with his circular saw, sending a stream of sparks up into the air!
PCC escapes and comes on the attack again!
CRASH!
The drum proves its very effective as it strikes again, causing Crimson Thunder to get turned over again!Once again Danny takes advantage of the temporarily weaponless PCC to drive in underneath and push it around again!
This time PCC is well and truly beached, so Crimson Thunder takes it over to the pit! David isnt going in that easily though, and determinedely holds on to Crimson Thunder, desparately clining on to dear life!
CEASE!
PCC slid off the wedge and slides out of the heat in a puff of smoke! Crimson Thunder progresses to the heat final!

Heat B:Round 2, Battle 2
E Clawdius Unum v Nitro-Gene 4.0

Perhaps a more interesting draw here- the high pressure nitrogen flipper v what some would consider to be the ulitmate crusher in vapour roboteering.

The house robots in this fight will be Matilda and Growler.

E Clawdius Unum is a powerful Razer-esque robot with the words Et tu, Brute? scrawled on the bottom, but Steven will be hoping we dont get to see them!

Nitro-Gene is supererior in terms of power (36HP v 18HP), but its wheels are exposed to the top so Paul will want to steer clear of that crusher!

Booth 1:Steven McGregor
Booth 2:Paul Cuomo
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Nitro-Gene heads off around the arena and tries to attack Clawdius from the side, but Steven was too quick and cleverly performed a tricky maneouvre in order to get under Nitro-Gene instead!It quickly reversed and pulled around in a U-turn so that Paul fired the flipper too early to get under the front end and now Steven can bring that crusher into play! Pauls armour would stand up to it well, but the wheels wont!
Three wheels on that wagon when Stevens finished, as the one he attacked is all crumpled and bent! But Nitro-Gene is still on the wedge and Clawdius pushes it into the wall so Steven can get at the other wheel on that side!
SQUEEZE!
The same result and Nitro-Gene only has half drive now!
Clawdius backs off to let refbot come in!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
Clawdius does a victory spin while Growler drags Nitro-Gene onto the floor flipper!
FLIP!
It sails through the air and lands on the flame pit, where Matilda attacks with her bum!
FULL MOON!
Nitro-Gene flies onto the camera tracks!
CEASE!
E Clawdius Unum goes through to meet Crimson Thunder in the heat final!

Pretty good fights Liam, Id have entered if I could.

PRE-DIDDLY-WAZZLE-RAZZLE-WHEEWOO-DONTPANIC-LALALA-MRMAINWEARING-ICTIONS:
Crimson Thunder to pit Clawdius befre it can get the crusher into play.

Always next year Joey:wink:

I dont know if Ill still be sane next year :wink: Ill try though.

With my front blades, I should hopefully have the advantage in a head-on collision. Again, use my greater control to get around the sides, slip under the skirts (hooking a wheel or two in the process with any luck) and get eating. :proud:
