Aaron, if the next version of MOABIE isnt called MOABIE Brick, I will hurt you for wasting a good pun:)

franks on 2000 posts anthoer mill stone is passed

How about MOABIE DICK? Mother Of All Bricks Inevitably Evolved Design Into Cold Killer

:proud: 3:10am and I cant sleep :proud:

Even better.

The first Elite roboteer then Franky.

Have a celebration cup of coffee and some cake.

I know, its quite unbelievable how much I rule:proud:

Yes... rule

BIACS-LE

Weight- 100.3kg (WDOR)
Dimensions- H- 65cm, L- 65cm, W- 75cm
Speed- 11mph, 5.1 m/s
Shape- Somewhere between S6 Sabretooth and Atilla the Drum.
Locomotion- 2x Motorbike wheels with screws embedded. These are bigger diameter than the robot itself.
Ground Clearance- Massive
Turning Circle- 0
Armour- A cage made from a 3mm titanium mesh with moulded 8mm fibre glass armour over that.
Power- 2x S28-400€™s at 24V giving 9BHp. These are powered by some TMC batteries at 24V.
Removable link position- Inside the left wheel, as far in as possible whilst keeping it accessible.
Weapon- As before, the weapon is a 300mm 18kg vertical disc on an arm, which can swing right through the whole arc of the robot, and is capable of coming down with a thump. The blades are mounted diagonally, which means that they are capable of both flipping and ripping. The cage can also swing over the top, protecting the axle and wheels from the side that is unprotected by the disc. This means that other than the cage, nothing can be damaged apart from the disc. It should produce about 62Kj. It€™s powered by another S28-400 on 24V and has a spin-up time of 4.7 seconds.
Srimech- Invertible
Strengths- Powerful weaponry. Manouvreable, Strong
Weaknesses- Low traction, slow acceleration.

NAME; Octopush 2
WEIGHT; 150 Kilos
SHAPE; Chassis is like New Cruelty, basic shape is like Octopush from FMC.
SPEED; 18mph
TC;0mm
GC; about 3mm
ARMOUR; 7mm steel.
POWER; Similar to what New Cruelty has.
WEAPONS; A giant Axe device. Instead of an axe head, however, is a vertical spinning drum, spinning at about 1000rpm and coming down, on the hammer arm, at 60mph.
SRIMECH; The robot, if flipped over, can right itself using the arm. The top is curved so it can also roll over. It cannot be side or back stranded.
WHEELS; 8 inner (of course)
INSPIRATION: Tom Brisbourne gave Octopush to me. I made a few modifications.
STRENGTHS: Fairly strong.
WEAKNESSESS: Untested in the field of battle
OTHER NOTES: The drum is powered by its own motor which is attached to the underside of the axe arm (sort of like Sumpthing, only less far to go). 500 holes are also drilled into the robot to keep its weight down.

Windiest Killer

Weight- 100kg
Dimensions- H- 27cm W-75cm L-95cm
Speed- 26mph
Shape- Same as before (See profile pic of Windy-er Killer)
Ground Clearance- 0 all round thanks to hinged skirts rear and sides and the front scoop. 3mm under skirts
Turning Circle- 0
Armour- 6mm Titanium in 4 1.5mm layers hopefully weighing in a around 20kg. The skirts are made of 3mm titanium and are sprung.
Locomotion- 4 wet go-karting tyres with added traction belts.
Power- 4 LEM-170-D127€™s running at 48v providing 32BHp and running at just over 3200rpm powered by APC Back-Up batteries
Failsafe Position- On top of the robot under a 3mm sliding panel of titanium. It€™s about 5cm down, meaning most weapons shouldn€™t be able to hit it.
Paint Scheme- Navy Blue
Weapons- After learning with the previous 2 machines, we have decided to limit the number of interchangeable weapons to one of every type of weaponry which are: Pincers, Crushers, Axe, Vertical Spinners, Horizontal spinners, lifters, spikes and scoops. Some of these weapons are in combination, so these are the weapons.

Weapon 1- A front 5mm Lithium Carbide scoop on which all other weapons are mounted.

Weapon 2- Interchangeable weapon bay

Setup 1- A pair of horizontal Hardox crushing claws with a force of 5 tonnes.
Setup 2- A General Carnage style lifting claw. It crushes with a force of 2.5 tonnes.
Setup 3- A 7kg spinning axe-head with 2 blades on the end. It€™s powered by a 4:3 running Bosch at 3000rpm. Using the Kinetic Energy Generator Program, we€™ve worked out that it gives around 2Kj of energy.
Setup 4- A 10 inch horizontal carbon blade with 4 2-inch blades around the edge, with a 1/2-inch thickness. It weighs 8kg and delivers 10Kj of energy
Setup 5- A small Hardox spike that when at full speed, hit€™s with an 8 tonne force on the tip.

Srimech- Invertible
Strong Against- Non-Pushers, Flippers, Axes
Weak Against- Crushers, Discs on Arms
Robot most compared to- Storm 2 with Tornado€™s weapons
House robot most feared- Matilda
Strengths- Fast, Strong, Versatile
Weaknesses- Anyone stronger

B2B (Back 2 Basics)

Weight- 100.6kg
Dimensions- L-75cm W-54cm H- 36.5cm
Speed- 8.5mph/ 3.8 m/s. This however still gives excellent acceleration and the speed of the hits will help us do the Tornado thing:proud:
Shape- Normal Wedge, with rollbars on the back panel made from welded 1cm titanium.
Locomotion- 2 x 270mm diameter wheels with custom cut treads from an old adapted Go-Kart
Ground Clearance- 0 at front, 0 underneath hinged skirts at sides, 4mm underneath skirts and at back.
Turning Circle-0
Power- 2 x 36V Dustin Motors running off 3 x 24V TMC batteries weighing a total of 9kg for the batteries plus 2.6kg for the motors (Lightweight or what:proud:). It gives a total (Presuming efficiency is at maximum) of 4.42BHp. Not the best shover, but with the wedge shaped, the idea will be that before pushing you scoop the wheels off the ground.
Armour- 7mm Titanium/Vanadium Alloy all around weighing a total of 28.4940747kg for the whole body. The titanium bars on the back weigh a total of about 8.4kg.
Chassis- The chassis is made of 1cm aluminium bars, and weighs around 12kg.
Weapon 1- The weapon is a Helium powered flipper, with 2 x 3kg helium rams, capable of firing about 40 times within the course of a fight, and despite running off just 400psi, is easily capable of flipping 250kg. The rams in total, plus gas, and bottles etc. weighs around 16kg and the actual flipper is made out of 4mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy and is around two-thirds the width of the body and goes up the whole wedge. It weighs 5.022kg.
Weapon 2- the bottom of the front wedge is an entirely detachable wedge made of 1cm aluminium. It€™s been designed to be heavy enough to prevent the front wheelying when driving, and therefore means that it should be simple to flip any robots over. It covers about 10cm of the wedge, and is more than capable of resisting attacks. It€™s been designed well and uses the force of gravity and balance to keep it down, whilst only weighing 3.288384kg in total.
Removable Link Position- In a hole with a swinging flap about 10cm into the back panel, but you have to get past the rollbars to get to it.
Srimech- The flipper acts as a self-righter, and will always land on his wheels thanks to the rollbars on the back, once we self-right. The only time this won€™t work is if we can€™t get enough pressure in the ram to fire us over.
Strengths- Powerful, long-lasting weaponry. Manouvreable. Flipper should never fail to slide underneath.
Weaknesses- Not the best pusher in a straight shoving battle.

Last One:proud:

Smash-Up At The Bar - (replacing an unfinished Riptile 2 in my line-up)

Weight- 98.8kg (As ever, weight distribution available on request)
Dimensions- H- 35cm, L+W- 65cm
Speed- 9.6mph
Shape- Low Square Cuboid
Ground Clearance- 7mm chassis, dead zero everywhere else
Turning Circle- 0
Armour- 4mm RSP-707 TG top, 6mm Hardox on sides, 5mm polycarbonate base
Locomotion- 4 240mm foam filled wheels
Power- 4 x S28-150 Magmotors, producing 11.72BHp
Removable Link Position- Underneath rear skirt about 10cm back.
Weapon 2- On top of the machine is an 18kg spinning bar powered by a single LEM 130 off 48V. it spins at 2600rpm and produces a nasty 94Kj of energy, which we predict should be able to nicely cut through up to a cm of titanium. There are no 2x2kg hammer ends, angled down over the edge of the box, on the end, which should mean that we can now hit machines, even when they are lower than us. These means there are now no need for the skirts.
Srimech- Another incredible part of the machine. When we are flipped, the bar naturally slows down. When the speed reduces to a speed of around 60rpm, at which point such action will not damage the mechanism, 2 latches will automatically stop the blade from spinning. This will enable us to fire 2 low-pressure arms, each with around 14 fires before the pressure drops. This should be enough per fight
Strengths- Good all-round machine
Weaknesses- Can be beaten by a strong, fast, powerful flipper as well as a couple of single machines that shan€™t be named. Very little will beat this one as it is designed along the same line as Spinverter, in the sense that it€™s the best of everything in a small package.

Chassis- 10kg
Armour- 24kg
Batteries- 9kg
Motors- 6.8kg
Weapons- 28kg
Weapon Power- 12.2kg
Electronics- 7kg
TOTAL- 98.8KG

Gyrate Extreme (SHW)

Motivation: 4 x Omni wheels
Speed: 10MPH
Weight: 155kg
Height: 320mm
Length: 500mm
Width: 1500mm
Weapon: The weapon is the focus on the robots upgrade. The 45kg spinner bar/hoop combo is powered by two Honda CR125 Motorbike motors. The CR125 motor produces 42.3BHP @ 11500rpm, and only weights 14.8kg each. The motors have a pair of electric starts mounted on them. The weapon rotates at a crazy 4500rpm, via a variable belt drive that changes ratios from 10:1 through to the final 2.5:1 ratio. The variable belt drive works by the expansion of one pullie (Motor end) and the contraction of the other (Weapon end) This is done via torque springs mounted on the adjustable pullies and forces them to change size when the load changes. Commonly found on 6WD amphibious ATV€™s.
Drive: 4 x LEM 130€™s on 24v geared 10:1
Batteries:
Armour: Can you say 15mm Poly-Propylene?
Notes: The weapon is devastating. The power is phenomenal. The noise is incredible! The bot is not invertible€¦ Flip and gone€¦€¦ But you have got to get close to it to flip it!

I made a slight mistake in those stats. I forgot to mention the bar/hoop spinning blade is an under cutter weapon. It sits 15mm from the floor and is mounted under the motors on a rather large shaft.

Sorry its late. Heres my super heavy.

Name: Mr. Boring

Shape: Invertible wedge (a-la Voltarc) with rounded rear, and spheres on side to stop it resting there.

Speed: 18 MPH.

Weapon: Entire front plate is a rear hinged hydraulic lifter which can work either way up, running on 3000 PSI. No idea how much it can lift, but it should be in the tonnage area so I€™m safe on that score:proud:

Armour: 4 mm hardox all round. Sides front and rear are solid, but base and top plate have weight reducing holes everywhere but at the bottom area, so no spinner can catch hold of these. The chassis is 5 MM Ti. It has some 5 MM Ti skirts for the sides and rear, although these can be removed for spinners.

Motivation: Sort of six wheel drive, although it only runs on four at a time. The rear has two sets of two wheels, one above the other. These are powered by two Eteks on 48 volts. The wheels are indoor go-kart wheels. Nice and sturdy with plenty of grip.

Ground clearance: 1.5 CM€™s at sides, 2 CMs at rear, 0 MM at front.

Srimech: Invertible. Lifter can be used to free it from walls.

Strengths: Shouldn€™t go wrong because there€™s not much to go wrong.

Weaknesses: Pretty basic. Could struggle with more advanced machines.

So I couldnt think up anything more imaginative. So sue me:p

Hmm, thats strange, my stats didnt post. Can I get someone to post them for me sometime?

Thanks.

OK, chaps. Some of you already know the score. Im away to France tomorrow for me holidays and wont be back til the 22nd. Either then or the day after, the fifth PTT will finally commence. You unlucky people. :)

Until then, I have for you some stuff that may interest you :wink:

Gravity VS Napalm VS Storm 2 VS Tempest Evil-er-oution (32)

Tactics and predictions welcome as ever and STATS STILL REQUIRED FROM TOM ROPER (most stats, posty problem), SCOTT ANDERSON (all stats) AND MATTY FOWLER (other weights)!

Cya later. :)

Oh thank you VERY much mr McGregor, it was VERY nice of you to throw me in round 1 with the champion.

Yes, I am being sarcastic.

I think...Dervish may be the safer robot to attack. Go for Agro if need be.

HEAT A
ROUND 1
Agro 3.5 VS Dervish \// VS Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS Scottishlier Fictionalier (1)
I cant say since no stats from scott

Gravity VS Napalm VS Storm 2 VS Tempest Evil-er-oution (32)
Humm Napalm to be killed by tempest, storm 2 to pit gravity

Daves probably wrong Predictions

Heat 1, Round 1

Agro 3.5 VS Dervish // VS Die-Ceratops ReInvertus VS Scottishlier Fictionalier (1)

Scott to be lazy enough not to post stats and gets kicked out, then a random pick from the other 3 to face the chop shop

Gravity VS Napalm VS Storm 2 VS Tempest Evil-er-oution (32)

Napalm = Goodbye
Tempest Evil-er-oution to be picked on by Stormy and Gravity (v3, I assume) and to be tossed out of the arena.

Seeing as how Scott proboblay wont get his stats in before Steve comes back...
*Cue matrix voice*
IT ENDS HERE, MISTER ANDERSON!

A scary PTT5 start for me! Will go for Dieceratops Invertus first, aiming for his sides and trying to damage him with the disc. Ill go for Scottishlier Fictionaliers sides if he attacks, and Dervish V/s wheels if he goes for me.

I predict Tempest and Storm 2 qualifying in the next battle, as Tempest reenacts Hypnodisc vs Splinter with Napalm, and Gravity is either damaged by Tempest or pitted by Storm 2.

If Napalm wins, Ill eat my hat!

Ptt5 heat 1 round 1 fight 2
Gravity VS Napalm VS Storm 2 VS Tempest Evil-er-oution (32)

Gravity comes out and flips stormy out of the arena, and does the same with tempest, the end, gravity and napalm go forward:proud:

Do you want cheese with your hat mr mason?

hahahaha

Well my first heat isnt the best, considering its got Typhoon, Warhead and M0ABIE in it, but if I can get in quick enough on Typhoon, Ill send it flying. Warhead is gonna be a tough cookie to beat. As for MOABIE, I may have trouble. the others I dunno much about to make a comment

Dave, youre missing three important points here...

1: Youre not writing this.
2: I dont like cheese.
3: I dont have a hat.

If you dont have a hat, how can you eat it? Thats false advertising, Chris:wink:

Which version of Gravity is this? If its the version seen in series 7, Ill just spin up and attack the side. The poly will probably shatter in a blow or two, and likely destroy the wheel as well. And I mean destroy, not just puncture.

If its the latest version of Gravity, Ill spin up and one-hit-kill Napalm to get my points up (for if it goes to a judges) then try and concentrate on one of the other two.

Either way Im using the 6-inch teeth here.

127. Gravity (RW7)

That answer your question Franky?

Well, I was HOPING to say that AFTER the fight had been written.

yeah, the Robotwars 7 version indeed...

darn, I dont wanna be destroyed by the Tempest in my first vapour-fight since ages :sad:

k, tactis, be VERY careful of the Tempest, go for Napalm and try to flip him at the Tempest, thatll both hurt Napalm and keep me save from the Tempest (well, if I succeed), then go for Storm2 and flip him OOTA or in the pit (Id rather have an OOTA though, being near the pit isnt very save while facing Storm2)

Hey! :) Back in the country and staying at family friends for the night before getting home tomorrow. With any luck, I can start fights this weekend.

However, with the absence of certain stats (THEY know who I mean...), Ive made an executive decision. If peoples missing HW stats arent entered before their fights, Ill just use their PTT4 line-ups and any missing sideshow bots will be replaced with realies.

Soz, but gotta get this thing going, dont I?

Bonjour Steve :proud:

If they are too lazy to post their stats, Kick them out. Be strong and dont give in to their constant belatement of posting stats.

Hes made his decition.

Which reminds me...

...guess whos back? :proud:

With any luck, I can start the first fights tomorrow. Ill just save all the minor classes until the end. Much cleaner than juggling them all at once, no?

And BTW Dave, I actually like having all my tournament spots filled. Dunno bout you. :proud:

Tactics: Ill attack Agro 3.5 first, and leave the other 2 fight each other.

So, here we go again. Another year, another PTT.

I wont bore you with too much this time. Just want to say good luck to all :) and that deciding the winners of this war is about a billion times harder than last year. And thats saying summit.

First fight in a few mins, courtesy of Tony P. Do try to enjoy :proud:

STEVE SEZ:
HEAT A
ROUND 1
MELEE 1
AGRO 3.5 Vs DERVISH // Vs DIE-CERATOPS REINVERTUS Vs SCOTTISHLY FICTIONAL (1)

FROM ENGLAND, AGRO 3.5!
(represented by Richard Southworth)
The behavioural therapists dream returns! :proud: With its unrivaled temper even shorter after its performance last season, Agro returns to vent a little fury over its loss - and what better place to do it than right here? A invertible wedge as ever, Richie has ditched the Tetanus Booster drum since last we met and instead bulked up the rear vertical spinning disc. Modelled on X-Terminators, this little beauty weights about 10kg and can reach speeds of 3000rpm in next to no time. Not only that, but the armour has been upgraded from titanium to Hardox and the low hinged plate on the front will happily plow under many an opponent. Unfortunately, the two inner wheels still dont offer much pushing power and the 17mph top speeds will make control particularly agrovating. :proud:
IN PTT1: did not compete
IN PTT2: did not compete
IN PTT3: did not compete
IN PTT4 (as Agro 3): buffeted and bashed to death by Hypno Disc and TIRTASM in Round 1

FROM MERTHYR TYDFIL, IN WALES, DERVISH //!
(represented by Daniel Stickler)
Officially the most famous pole since Pope John Paul (how long before you work that out? :proud:), Dervish is back in its sixth incarnation to slice up its previous PTT record and replicate its recent success in VFT6. Still a lethal Barberous lookalike, this massive spinny drum on wheels is (if possible) deadlier than ever, thanks to the 2 x 36v LEM-130s now powering the blades. This ensures speeds of 2500rpm and a lot more than a short-back-and-sides if you bump into the carbon and titanium claws. Combined with the 10mm Aluminium Boron Carbide and 5mm Lexigard protecting it, version // is one hell of a tough nut to crack and the 14mph speeds dont make it any easier. However, the Stinger-esque wheels are dangerously exposed to attacks on all sides and iffy traction is the price to pay if that drum ends up stopping. Will Dervish prove a cut above the rest once more or simply be cut down to size? :proud:
IN PTT1: did not compete
IN PTT2: did not compete
IN PTT3 (as Dervish Mach 2): pitted in Round 1 after Beta and Electro ganged up on it
IN PTT4 (as Dervish Quatro): shoved all over the shop by Tornado in Round 2 before heading down the Void again

FROM ONEHOUSE, IN SUFFOLK, DIE-CERATOPS REINVERTUS!
(represented by Christopher Mason)
From the mists of time, now, comes a horrifying prehistoric monster that leaves devestation wherever it chooses to roam...and his robot. :proud: Getting back to the subject at hand, Die-Ceratops ReInvertus (as it has been dubbed by archeologists) is a deadly dino through and through. Very much similar to Wheely Big Cheese, its long low wedged body is accompanied by an enormous rear-hinged flipper, more than capable of chucking up to a tonne at a time back to the Stone Age! Along with this, the invertible body and side-bars means that other flippers will have much less fun with it and the 8mm titanium skin will give even raptors a hard time getting through. But despite this, the two wheels again dont provide much push and and if an axe or a crusher gets hold of those semi-exposed wheels, Die-Ceratops ReInvertus will...erm...die. :proud:
IN PTT1: did not compete
IN PTT2: did not compete
IN PTT3: did not compete
IN PTT4: did not compete

FROM LARGS, IN AYRSHIRE, SEEDED NO.1 AND REIGNING CHAMPION, SCOTTISHLY FICTIONAL!
(represented by Scott Anderson)
Hey, if it aint broke, dont fix it. :proud: Returning completely unchanged from last time, Scottishly Fictional is back to repeat its whirlwind success last time around and retain the title. Its a feat as yet to be achieved by anyone, but this Stormalike has to be a pretty safe bet. Still the trusty invertible box wedge we know and love, the champ also brings back its interchangeable 20mm titanium scoop/5kg vertical spinning drum in the front. Add the 2 x LEM-130s providing the juice at 36v and you can see just how this humble clone became the king. The 18hp fed to the six wheels is enough to shove nearly everyone aside and speeds of 20mph mean that those shoves come hard and fast indeed. However, being inverted will render the front wedge all but useless and while the titanium armour itself is tough enough at up to 12mm thick, the sellotape wheels could take some nasty blows if an axe gets its aim right. Plus, the St Andrews Cross splattered all over it may anger some of the other competitors... :proud:
IN PTT1: did not compete
IN PTT2: did not compete
IN PTT3: did not compete
IN PTT4: smashed the likes of Wheely Pure Evil, SpinVerter 3 and Mother of All Bricks 2 aside before dumping Wedgie 5 in the Grand Final

Today, Scottishly Fictional will use the front spinning drum.

ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!

PTT5 STARTETH! :proud:
And everyone seems off to a nippy start today. First into the fray is Agro 3.5, who dashes right across the arena and bashes into the side of Die-Ceratops ReInvertus! Giving Chris no time to respond, the PTT4 veteran slips its front hinged plate under the 3mm ground clearance and gives it a solid thwack into the nearest wall! Richie backs off for another shunt...when Dervish comes whirling into view and tries to slice through Agros Hardox shell! Thankfully, it does little more than bounce the wedge aside, but in doing so, its allowed Die-Ceratops out for an attack! Quick as a raptor, the sleek slope powers under Dervish and launches it skyward in one effortless throw! And as the two-time PTT competitor crashes back to earth, wheres the champ in all this? Opening the Void, what else? Crashing into the oversized button, Scottishly Fictional sets off the siren and comes charging backwards down the ring to join the others! In the meantime, not much has happened. Dervish has put a few tears into Die-Ceratops side as an act of vengeance, while Agro darts about trying to find an opening. Unfortunately, as soon as Richie manages to clip ReInvertus side with the disc, Scottishly Fictional rockets over and crashes head-on into the fray! All three competitors end up twirling away, as the champ quickly tries to decide who to pick on. To Chris and Dans relief, the chosen one is Agro and Mr Southworth barely has time to blink before the No.1 seed slams his machine into the side wall! While Die-Ceratops and Dervish go back to their little scrap, Scott backs off for the next pounding...but as he comes in again, Agro sharply turns around and gives the champ a faceful of flywheel! Sparks fly as disc hit drum, but thankfully, neither seems really the worse for wear after that attack. However, Mr Anderson is now pretty peeved and gives the fellow veteran a nice big shunt for its troubles! But thats not all Rich should add to his list of woes! Just as he turns to get the disc back in action, Scottishly Fictional scrapes underneath Agros sides and effortlessly pushes the PTT4 competitor into Michael Pliers bottom corner! Displeased to see visitors, the Halloween House Robot gives Richies machine a distainful nudge before bringing the hatchet down on its head! Lucklily, the hammer misses a second time and Agro is able to slip away, though not without Scottys botty hot on its heels! With a fancy twirl, Mr Southworth attempts to get round to the champs side, but in an instant, the No.1 seed charges into it...and begins shoving it towards the Void! Panic rising, Richard wiggles all controls frantically, but in the blink of an eye, its over. One millisecond, Agros being pushed across the ring. The next, hes down the infamous hole in a puff of smoke.
Agro 3.5 finally calms down! Quite an anger management class that was, eh? :proud:
Meanwhile, Die-Ceratops and Dervish have been at loggerheads in the arena centre. Chris has tried and failed several times to replicate its first flip, while Dan has had equally less success slicing through to ReInvertus innards. Although, all the scratches and cuts seem to show us that Dervish is on top of things for the moment - at least until the champ rockets into view and bashes the Barberous lookalike to one side! Seizing the oppertunity, Die-Ceratops glides underneath its rival and fires its looong flipper arm. With a mighty woosh!, the PTT3 n 4 veteran once more flies into the air before landing noisily in the bottom half of the Warzone. Not wanting a second wasted, Danny quickly starts revving up the drum again - but suddenly, ReInvertus darts onto the scene (escaping the king with but a glancing blow) and scrapes under the veterans 7mm clearance! The blades halt...DAns bot gets shoved back a little...the great flipper shoots wide open...and the vapourboteering worlds Barberous soars over the fence and out of its third PTT!

CEASE!!!!!

Dervish // has its hopes shredded! Dont feel too bad, though - I hear the salon down the roads hiring. :proud:
DIE-CERATOPS REINVERTUS AND SCOTTISHLY FICTIONAL (1) GO THROUGH TO ROUND 2!!!
-------------------------------------------------
HEAT A
ROUND 1
MELEE 2
GRAVITY Vs NAPALM Vs STORM 2 Vs TEMPEST EVIL-ER-OUTION (32)

FROM LEEUWARDEN, IN HOLLAND, GRAVITY!
(represented by WJ Dijkstra and Martijn Benschop)
Anchor yourselves to the floor while you can, lads - Gravitys back in town! As a Dutch Heat Finalist, a UK Semi-Finalist and quite possibly the most terrifying tossing device of the last few years, the Holland hurler returns for a second PTT to add even more to its nasty reputation. Here in its RW7 form, this sleek wedges flipper is rear-hinged and packs more than a punch. This thing has OOTAed the best within seconds, broken arena walls and even overthrown the British House Robots - literally! Thank the full-pressure CO2 buffer tanks for that, folks. Combined with Mr Dijkstras fanciful driving and this nimble launchpad is a danger to all who even look at it! But it all comes at a price - namely average armour and a rather dangerous ground clearance fellow flippers could easily exploit. After such a high life, is it time for Gravity to come back down to earth? :proud:
IN PTT1: did not compete
IN PTT2: did not compete
IN PTT3: did not compete
IN PTT4: smashed into submission by RingMaster in Round 1

FROM LONGFIELD, IN KENT, NAPALM!
(represented by David Crosby and Tom Roper)
Probably the oldest robot ever to compete in the PTT, Napalm arrives from RW2 courtesy of the official PTT T.A.R.D.I.S. and is ready to get old-school on everyones ass! :proud: A bizarrely-constructed box with a snowplow front, this former Semi-Finalist may look like a piece of junk, but you tell that to it after its had its way with ye! The weaponry here is a rarity these days - a rear chainsaw, joined by a set of twin connected axes (the infamous mandables). While maybe not the most dangerous arsenal around, it certainly does its job. I mean, when has Napalm ever failed to hop the first hurdle? Also, our old friend is surprisingly nimble with top speeds of 15mph and the two large wheels should offer some decent manoueverability. However, the armour is well known for its flimsyness and at only 84.1kg, itll be very easy for the others to push it around. Will Napalm once again crash and burn? :proud:
IN PTT1: did not compete
IN PTT2: did not compete
IN PTT3: did not compete

FROM IPSWICH, STORM 2!
(represented by Ed Hoppit and Alex Holt)
RW New Blood Champ, RW7 runner-up, RW World Champion. It would appear that Storm 2s got it made. Well, not here, its not. Having lost to two super-spinners in both its previous title attempts, the British Biohazard is determined to have as a good a run in this PTT as it has everywhere else and its got every chance of doing so. Although it does have the lifting arm similar to its US counterpart, this skirted box-wedges main weapon is (of course) its pushing power. Provided by 2 x LEM-130s at 36v, the 18hp generated is more than enough to outpush most in its path. All this, invertibility and armour few can even scratch. Where can there possibly be any problems? Well, the invertibility leaves the six wheels open to axefire and one flip will make the front wedge utterly useless. Still, this could very well be Storms year at last. At least Ed and Alex hope so... :proud:
IN PTT1: did not compete
IN PTT2: did not compete
IN PTT3: defeated in barely one hit fighting Biohazard and CrankShafted in Round 1
IN PTT4: out at the first hurdle again, this time pitted by ForcePower Turbo

FROM GAINSBOROUGH, AND SEEDED NO.32, TEMPEST EVIL-ER-OUTION!
(represented by Frank Goacher)
And so the pinball wizard bounces back into action. :proud: Still the AJWars champion and more recently the FAR8 Stars-All champ, Tempest returns even eviler than before to add one more trophy to its cabinet. The basic principle is still the same - a low disc on two wheels with a horrible spinny shell - but now, the hooked teeth are interchangeable. You lucky people can suffer at the hands of either 2cm, 6cm, 15.5cm or 25cm long blades, depending on what mood Frankys in (Get your chocolates and roses while you can, lads!) and not only that, but the classic bounce-away-from-your-enemies-after-you-clobber-them ability remains as effective as ever. The titanium and aluminium shell will take a fair few knocks, too, and dont even think about flipping it - invertible. However, controlling such a design at 15mph will take a lot of hard work and yet again, the wheels are vulnerable to overhead attack. Thats if Tempest hasnt blown them away by then, though. :proud:
IN PTT1: did not compete
IN PTT2: did not compete
IN PTT3 (as Whirlwind): bounced off Matilda and Voltronic in Round 2 into the Pit
IN PTT4 (as Tempest Evil-oution): killifried in two hits by Gyrate in Round 2

(Today, Tempest will be using the four 15.5cm teeth, used for shallow wedges and spinners with longer teeth.)

Again, each gets off to a nice fast start. As the quickest of the lot, Storm 2 springs into action first, making straight for Napalm! However, the RW2 contender is a lot more nimble than most people remember and Dave Crosby manages to swerve his creation out of harms way! Or does he? While Storm repositions itself, Gravity decides to have a go at Napalm too and scrapes under the rickety robots front plow. With a bit of luck, though, Dave manages to reverse off the arm, just in time for his machine to get a faceful of gas from the flipper! Distracted by this, he and Tom fail to notice Storm charging at the rear until too late! With a clatter, some of the innards can be heard jiggling a little inside. Powering further underneath, Ed aims for the bottom arena disc and hurtles Napalm straight towards it! Tom tries to fight back, but the mandables just lack their old bite (*groans*). In a shower of sparks, the RW2 competitor finally collides, a mighty slice right along the front plow! But thats the least of its worries! Having spent the fight thus far quietly revving up, Tempest Evil-er-oution finally heads over and sinks its hooked claws into Napalms rear! In a fresh spark burst, the No.32 seed bounces away! Looks like Dave and Tom have lost their chainsaw as a result! Thatll be a nice trophy for Mr Staines the janitor afterwards...ah, but enough about the staff! Something of mild interest is happening! :proud: While turning around, our guest from RW2 has taken another little shunt from Gravity and gone right up the wedge! This time, theres no escape, as Martijn fires the arm...and tosses Napalm onto its back with the greatest of ease! While Storm dashes away to open up the Pit (to end its suffering?), the Grim Beeper makes his way over to the inverted ancient and raises his sythe on high. But before he can do anything, Tempest hits the scene and smashes into Napalms side! Once again, the No.32 seed rebounds away and the real robot is off like a spinning top, one or two large parts of the side-grating now hanging off! The Grim Beeper comes in closer...but Tempest barges in again and slices the other side! Bouncing away goes the twice PTT competitor and leaves Napalm even worse than before! Not wanting to be undermined, the Beeper knocks our 32nd seed aside (back for a third smashing) and finally gets the chance to countdown! Altogether now...
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!!!!!!!!!!
I love the smell of Napalm in the morning! It smells like...urgh, it aint victory, but it sure smells bad! :proud:
His job done, the Grim Beeper slinks back to the sidelines and allows Tempest to continue kicking Napalm while its down. But Dave and Tom dont mind much, as theyre already on their way to the backstage pub. At any rate, Storm and Gravity have been duking it out in the meantime and a rather one-sided affair it has been. For all its power, the Dutch machine is having a hard time penetrating its rivals skirts, whereas Storm has wasted no time in introducing its foreign friend to as many of the arena walls as possible! At this point, Gravity has just escaped a fresh ramming spree and heading down to tackle Tempest (who has now stripped Napalm of an entire chuck of side-grating!). Unfortunately, as the seed bounces back, it smacks the Dutch bot head-on and sends the RW7 Semi-Finalist into a right whirl! But no sooner does Frank back off to rev up a bit more than Storm careers into the fray! With no trouble at all, the front wedge easily slips under Gravity and slams it back into the re-revolving Tempest! With a few more sparks, all concerned end up bouncing away from each other, though our Dutch competitor seems a little shaky in recovery. Nevertheless, its still going...but WJ barely has time to do anything when Tempest darts back over and smacks the flippers right-hand side at full blast! Gravity twirls a little before setting off...at least, before trying to set off. That last blow seems to have killed the right drive motor - a fourth punch from our 32nd seed confirms this! Gazing down at the devestation hes caused, Goachers gouger twirls in triumph...just as Storm smashes it down the ring and the Grim Beeper heads back over! To think he wanted to be a dentist...
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!!!!!!!!!!

CEASE!!!!!

Gravity breaks the laws of physics and pays the price! Sir Newtons spinning in his grave as we speak! :proud:
STORM 2 AND TEMPEST EVIL-ER-OUTION (32) GO THROUGH TO ROUND 2!!!

Thoughts and tactics are most welcome as ever and I just hope those scraps were satisfactory. As you know, its been rather a while.

Thank you :)
