Paul- those tactics are fine. Our flippers will be far too strong for both Magnavox and Fin.
As for our match against Armory and Mega Masher 2, Armory seeems to be the weakest link to me. Custard Cream can take on Armory and Mega Mashers disc is nothing compared to Apocalyptinators.
The Arena:
The Swamp v0.3
The arena is rather basic and simple, where the only hazards are the pit which just happens to be open all the time on one side of the arena and on the other side just happens to be a nasty rough patch designed to ground those stupidly low ground clearance robots, anything with less than 5mm ground clearance better stay clear.
The rough patch is an area 5 metre by 5 metres, where 5mm tall aluminium ridges of about 5mm wide rise from the arena at every 5cm, all going in the same direction, an area to avoid at all costs if you have a low machine, get caught on the ridges, and as the ground around the ridges doesn€™t give much grip you might get caught for the count.
There is a sizable gap in the wall of about 20 metres wide, on the side of the arena to the left (the side with the rough patch) to allow robots to flip other robots out, the wall at that point is 4 feet tall. Bonus points will be awarded for target practise.
The arena is 50 metres by 50 metres, there is a Refbot designed to break up robots if they get caught up in each other, but if one robot gets caught against the wall or on the rough and can€™t free itself, then it will be counted out.
The walls are solid steel plating 10cm thick in total, the floor is made from a non-magnetic metal and coated in anti-slip paint, so it is rather griply.
Right...Id like to remove the Boxs skirts to give it less chance of grounding itself, if thats allowed?

Nitro-Gene 4.0 (Can you call it that from now on please Dave?) has 20mm clearance. Those with 5-mm clearance = HAHA!

Skirts can be removed before fights.
I love rough patches, the best fan-fic I ever wrote was a small 4-way contest with an arena where the floor was entirely roughen up with bumps, so low machines can get grounded if they hit the patch at the wrong angle, so the wheels lose grip in between the grooves.
Im not worried about Marks disc at all, Joeys right- it has no power at all, therefore is useless. And Magnavox will easily be defeated by our super-powerful flippers!! s will Fin.
Mega Masher 2 and ARMORY vs Apocalyptinator and Custard Cream
Um...
Chris, Maybe we should head after Custard Cream, Since you have a Vertical disc, and I have a horizontal disc.
Keep hitting him until he dies, then Chris hits the pit release button. Then we try to use our discs power to either immobilize Apocalyptinator, or slam it into the pit.
Note: Magnavoxs disc does run off an E-Tek.

But you didnt mention that in the stats before line-ups were posted, so too bad.
Kodys right Mark, its too late now.
