ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Justine: Right, so Liam, you are up against Venus Flytrap!
Liam: It's a very strange design, but I think I can take him on.
Justine: Any battle plans?
Liam: Avoid the sides obviously, and I would have to get underneath the front. Generally, keep my front always facing it. If it tries to slide its wedge underneath me, drive away ASAP and attack again.
Justine: All right, so what do you think of Steve?
Liam: He is always a great competitor, but he'd better watch out for Brutalis! :proud:
Justine: Ooh! Them's fighting words there; well, good luck in the arena.
Liam: Thanks.

Justine: All right, so I'm here with Steve-O, and Venus Flytrap, who is up against Brutalis!
Steve: Brutalis, eh? I have seen it in battle before, and it looked good, so it will be quite a struggle...
Justine: Mkay, tactics?
Steve: Slide under the rear or sides, and let the robot do its work... :proud:
Justine: Haha. :proud: Anyway, what do you think of Liam?
Steve: He's obviously a very respectable roboteer, and a great competitor, but I'm thinking I can take him on, hopefully.
Justine: All right then, good luck.
Steve: Ta.

(BATTLE 4!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

BRUTALIS 2.1!!!

VENUS FLYTRAP 2!!!

Liam Eliot there at the controls of Brutalis, looking very focused... and there in the other control booth is Steve-O who is at the controls of Venus Flytrap, and these house robots are about to burn up the warzone and boggle your mind! That's right, it's Sgt. Bash and Mindbender!

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

Refbot's green light signals the start of the match, and immediately Brutalis guns away for Venus Flytrap! Brutalis immediately gets under the front of Venus Flytrap, and flips it over onto its back! Venus Flytrap self-rights using the rear srimech, and fights back on Brutalis! Now, Venus Flytrap slams into Brutalis's side and slides the wedge in! The jaws slam onto Brutalis, and Brutalis gets carried away to Sgt. Bash's CPZ now! Venus Flytrap is dominating this fight so far... and a flick of flame comes out from Bash's flame thrower and roasts Brutalis up! BUT WAIT! Venus Flytrap lets go, and Brutalis gets away somehow! Brutalis now flips over the Scottish machine, and now it gets under the Flytrap again, and flips it, this time into Mindbender's spinning hammers!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly and robots die! Venus Flytrap gets absolutely ROCKED by that hit, and gets spun away violently! There's a huge dent on the armour of the Flytrap, and now it self-rights, but it is sort of limping along here. I think that Mindbender hit the base armour, and disabled something. Now, this means that Brutalis can catch up to the Flytrap much faster... BUT WAIT A MINUTE! The Flytrap is still alive, and slides the wedge underneath Brutalis! Now it slams its jaws into the machine from Wales, and carries it to Mindbender!
CRASH!!!
Brutalis is slammed by Mindbender's spinner, and there is a dent in the armour! Both robots are hell-bent on beating each other up into submission here, and Brutalis looks to be limping as well! Now, Brutalis slams into Venus Flytrap, and gets underneath! The spikes on the front snag a wheel hole, and now, it carries the Flytrap into the pit release button! The pit goes down immediately, and Venus Flytrap gets dragged by Brutalis ever close to the pit! It tries to drive away, but the front spikes has got a very good hold of the Flytrap! Now, Brutalis fires the flipper, and now, Venus Flytrap is on the lip of the pit and very close to falling in! Brutalis comes in for the final shove and down it goes! Brutalis goes through and now it takes on Sgt. Bash in the CPZ! Brutalis comes in on the house robot and flips it onto its side! The Refbot gives Brutalis a yellow card, but it's not done yet! Now it's going after the Refbot, and flips it into the pit! The audience absolutely starts to go nuts up there! Ah, will this random attack on the house robots EVER stop... :proud:

CEASE!

Venus Flytrap gets trapped in the pit.
Brutalis goes through to the Heat F Final!

Heat F Final
Psyclonizer (11) VS Brutalis

Tactics and Predictions, por favor.

I think I'm losing popularity again :rofl: :lol: :proud:

Deja Vu much? :rofl:

Very funny Lian. :proud: Anyway, here's the heat final for ya.
* * *
Justine: Andy, you are in the heat final against Brutalis! What do you think about that?
AJ: Well obviously, Brutalis is a very good machine so I think I need to prepare a lot for this battle.
Justine: Now, you crashed out at this stage last year, didn't you?
AJ: Exactomundo. However, this battle is going to be much harder, because Brutalis has got good pushing power. So, we'll see how it goes. I'll stick with my usual battle plan, just to spin up and kill it via shock treatment.
Justine: ... and do you think you will go through this time?
AJ: I don't know really, but it would be nice if I won the heat. I'll give it all I've got, and do my best.
Justine: Well, let's hope you do. Good luck in the arena.
AJ: Ta.

Justine: Right, Liam... you're in the heat final against the number 11 seeds, Psyclonizer!
Liam: CRAP! I'm screwed now. :proud: Psyclonizer is the one machine that I did NOT want to be up against.
Justine: Ouch. That is not good, anyway, tactics?
Liam: Avoid contact while it's spinning, and just ram into it before it spins to full speed, and flip it out or dump it into the pit.
Justine: You think you'll win this heat?
Liam: Erm... no! :proud: But I'll give it my best shot.
Justine: That's the spirit! Good luck in there.
Liam: Thanks, I'll need it.

Dan: So, both robots have worked extremely hard to get this far into the competition. Of course, we saw the power of Psyclonizer's spinning hammer ring, but Brutalis has just been awesome at pushing things around... so these robots are very evenly matched. The question we need to ask ourselves now is... will there be a major upset, or will the seed move on? Let's find out!

* * *
Sam: All right! The time is near to find the winner of tonight's heat and that time is now! LET THE HEAT FINAL BEGIN!!!

(HEAT FINAL!!!)

Laides and Gentlemen, please welcome...

PSYCLONIZER!!!

BRUTALIS!!!

Roboteers, Stand by...

Let's have a look at the teams... there's AJ with Psyclonizer, waving proudly to the audience. Liam Eliot is controlling Brutalis in the other booth, looking very focused. The house robots for this heat final will be Sir Killalot with the spear, pincers, and the terrifying red eyes, and the awesome spinning ring of Mangled Metal.

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

The Refbot gives the green light, and this is for a place in the series semi-finals. Psyclonizer begins to spin up, but Brutalis gets underneath and flips it over! Brutalis could pull off a big upset here, but AJ wants to prove that wrong! AJ spins his machine up, and crashes into Brutalis's side!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly and Brutalis goes spinning across the arena floor! Brutalis is okay though, and slams Psyclonizer into Sir Killalot's CPZ! Sir K is ready with his spear and pincers but Psyclonizer flees away just in the nick of time! Psyclonizer spinning up again and turning away from Brutalis to spin up-- goodness me, the rim is spinning so fast, that the hammers are moving in a blur! Psyclonizer crashed out at this stage last year with Psyclonized, but this is a much more improved machine, slamming into Brutalis's side again!
CRASH!!!
What a hit, Brutalis is sent spinning out of control, and it gets ready to retaliate! Now, it slams into Psyclonizer and flips it into Mangled Metal's CPZ, but Psyclonizer manages to get away just by the skin of its chinny-chin-chin! :proud: Psyclonizer immediately spins up here, and you can't even see the hammers because it's spinning so fast! Now, Psyclonizer immediately goes for Brutalis who is getting ready to press the pit button--
CRASH!!!
That hit is out of this world! Brutalis gets spun away and the pit button is just absolutely smashed! I'm beginning to get a bit scared now, and I'm up here in the commentary booth! The pit is descending, and Brutalis pushes Psyclonizer, slamming it into the wall! Psyclonizer gets a faceful of plexiglass and now it gets away! It spins up to its maximum speed, and Brutalis is about to get hit! It tries getting away...
CRASH!!!
What a magnificient hit that is! That hit sends Brutalis spinning out of control, and into the CPZ of Mangled Metal! Now, I'm not sure if Brutalis is moving freely anymore... I think that Psyclonizer caused shock damage to the actual mechanics of the machine... and now, Brutalis is running in circles and trying desperately to get out of the CPZ, but now, here comes Mangled Metal, slamming into Brutalis with its spinning ring!
CRASH!!!
Brutalis gets spun out of the CPZ, courtesy of Mangled Metal! Brutalis is still running in circles, and to be honest, I think it's done for... Refbot, what do you think? Refbot sure thinks so as well, and starts counting Brutalis out of the competition, and bring this heat final to an end!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Brutalis, a brilliant machine and my personal favourite, is outta there! Liam smiles and claps for AJ, and AJ claps triumphantly. Sir K picks up Brutalis and places it on the drop zone, where a microwave oven will come tumbling down any minute now... AJ counts along with the audience!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... CRASH!!!
The microwave comes tumbling down on Brutalis with a painful crash, and finally, Sir K picks Brutalis up with his pincers and dumps it to end it all. BOOM!

CEASE!

Brutalis has been brutalized.
Psyclonizer (11) goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!!!

(End Interview)
Sam: Well, you took quite a beating out there.
Liam: I'll say. :proud:
Sam: Hahahaha. What went wrong?
Liam: He was just too strong for me, and I tried my best but I ended up in the drink. :proud:
Sam: Ouch. You going to come back next year?
Liam: Yeah, hopefully, I'll make a few modifications to it and come back.
Sam: Yes, that's what we like to hear, confidence! Everyone, let's all raise our voices for BRUTALIS!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well, I have to tell you AJ, Psyclonizer is a very improved machine.
AJ: I know, right?
Sam: Those spinning hammers are deadly; tell me, what was your tactic for the battle?
AJ: Yeah, just spin up and kill it within a few hits, and I eventually disabled it on one side. But I must say, I felt pretty bad tearing Liam up in this battle. Sorry Liam!
Liam: (Laughs)
Sam: Hahahaha. You think you'll go all the way?
AJ: Probably, but I think there are lots more good robots out there, so hopefully, I'll see how it goes in the semi-finals.
Sam: All right, everyone, raise the roof for the winner of tonight's heat, the magnificient PSYCLONZERRRRR!!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well, we hope you join us again next time when six more titans clash for the championship title of RoboBash! Good night!
(CROWD CHEERS, AJ, Liam and Sam shakes hands)

Next Time...

The Number 13th seeds, Seung Mina 6 returns and five more newcomers are ready to square off against it: Helix, GBOD, Roadblock, O.I.D, and Bloody Frigid! Can Seung Mina defend its seeding?

Heat G
Seung Mina (13) VS O.I.D VS Helix
Bloody Frigid VS GBOD VS Roadblock

Tactics and Predictions are always welcome.

w00ty? Yes. Tactics? Below:

Seung Mina VI (13) vs. O.I.D. vs. Helix

Me and Jack are teaming up on Helix I believe. As I'd much rather run into O.I.D. later on I'll even help out O.I.D. if it's in trouble. Helix looks to be the more dangerous of the two so let's take it out quick.

Flip Helix into O.I.D. when it's spinning, flip Helix into CPZs, flip Helix over the fence, flip it into whatever. Just stay away from O.I.D. when my flipper's open and I'll be fine. :)

Bloody Frigid vs. GBOD vs. Roadblock

I think I said Roadblock was going out, yes? Opinion hasn't changed. :P

Tactics:

Drive straight into the pit.

Woo! Nice battles, as always. :)

I think Helix and Roadblock will go out here.

LoL, i only said that to you Sam cos you did say that earlier in the tournie :rofl:

Anyways Roadblock could go through. When time stops.

I think Kody's got this heat by the scruff of the neck

So ermm... anyone fancy a box of cookies :proud:

Oh wow, I REALLY need to pay more attention. XD
Anyway, here's what I'll do:
1- If GBOD feels like having a team up, go for that. Otherwise, avoid GBOD as much as I can.
2- Whatever happens above: eat Roadblock. If unable to eat, have the snot beaten out of it through anyway available, and pit just to be annoying. :P

Speaking of eating, what kind of cookies are we talking about here? :lol:

Chocolate chip ones :)

Sure, why not.

* * *
Sam: Tonight, in Heat G, the gloves come off! The 13th seeds, Seung Mina 6 returns with a vengeance in tonight's heat and five new robots are out to dish some more carnage and take the seeding away! So, ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!!!!!!

(CROWD CHEERS)

Sam: Yes, they can smell the carnage! SO, LET THE WAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!

(BATTLE 1!!!)

From Toronto, Ontario, and the 13th seeds, Seung Mina 6!

It's the 13th seeds, an unlucky number for some, but how will it do here? Powered by 2 LEM-130's, this machine can run up to 16mph max, but the main feature of the machine comes in the form of a rear-hinged flipper, powered by a few CO2 tanks and able to tip 2 tonnes over. However, flippers that are gas-powered in any form will definitely have a limited amount of flips, so 13 might not be so lucky for it...

From Richmond upon Thames, O.I.D!

O.I.D will run circles around anyone and make them say, Oh I'm dizzy, hence the name. :proud: It has got a horizontal spinner weapon that is made out of hardox and spinning roughly at about 2000RPM. However, it does have exposed wheels, so this robot could spin itself into oblivion.

From Wales, Helix!

Our Welsh machine, Helix is a newcomer but it is a definite contender to be reckoned with. It has an axe, with a Terrorhurtz-like system powering it, and this axe can dent hardox without any problems. It does have a high ground clearence under the skirts, though... does that matter?

Roboteers, Stand By...

There's Jack and Kody together in the control booth at the controls of Seung Mina and O.I.D, and Liam is in the other control booth controlling Helix. Our house robots will be King Arthur, opening up its dreadful maw like a big tiger in for the kill... and Shunt with the diamond coated axe and lifting scoop.

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

So, watch for the 13th seeded Seung Mina running straight away for Helix, and chasing after it. O.I.D spins up to full speed, but Helix crashes into it, and fires its axe! Now, O.I.D gets pushed into Shunt's CPZ and gets slammed with the razor-sharp, diamond coated axe of Shunt! O.I.D runs away from Shunt, and retaliates by doing a side swipe right into Helix with the flywheel weapon!
CRASH!!!
The side skirt made of titanium is BENT, and taking that as an advatage Seung Mina crashes into Helix, and flips it 12 FEET in the air! Good gracious, what power! Helix gets absolutely tossed by the flipper of Seung Mina, and immediately comes down onto its wheels with a stomach wrenching thud! Helix seems to be okay though, and it slams into Seung Mina's side and gets underneath! Now, it slams the 13th seeds into the CPZ of King Arthur who is ready with his flywheel! O.I.D meanwhile is trying to charge at Helix in order to save Seung Mina, but--
CRASH!!!
Lord have mercy! Seung Mina soars up in the air, and comes down with a sickening thud! However, it seems okay, and just a small dent can be seen in the armour. If you remember, Whirligig has stopped it from going any farther into the competition last year in a very close judge's decision, but this is an improved machine, it looks like. Seung Mina self-rights, and unexpectedly charges at Helix with its front, but Helix finds out and fights back by turning and getting in under the sides of the Canadian machine! Now--
CRASH!!!
OH, what's this?! O.I.D slams into Helix's rear end to save Seung Mina, and makes a dent in the armour of the Welsh machine! Now, O.I.D presses the pit button, and slams itself again into Helix, but this time it's side on!
CRASH!!!
Helix's skirt is bent; the machine spins away violently, and crashes into the wall! Seung Mina, crashing into Helix, uses this as an advantage and gets underneath! Now, is Helix a out to go out, I wonder...?
FLIP!
No it does NOT go out, fortunately for Liam... Helix immediately retaliates by shoving O.I.D into Shunt again, and now, O.I.D gets a taste of Shunt's axe, but getting away to attack Helix, and this time, Helix is ready as well! Helix and O.I.D have a full frontal collision now!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly, both bots go spinning away again! Seung Mina now gets underneath Helix, but Helix gets away and gets underneath the side of the flipping machine--
CRASH!!!
... and again, O.I.D interferes with Helix! This is a great battle in the making, I must say! I am just really enjoying all the action and excitement here, and what a way to kick off a heat! But Seung Mina, thanks to O.I.D, has gotten away from Helix and gets underneath it once again! Helix is in peril here, as it's being carried towards the wall! Are they going out now?
FLIP!
.... and Seung Mina has done it again! Helix fires the axe in dismay, but they are out of the arena and the competition! To celebrate, Seung Mina goes into Shunt's CPZ, and flips it over on its back, and flips it into the pit! Refbot gives Seung Mina a yellow card, and Kody does NOT like that one bit! Seung Mina now gets under the Refbot, and chucks it into the pit as well, but I think there's too much in there already! Jack and Kody are going nuts up there in their control pods, and Liam is laughing at the house robots' humiliation as well! They sure love to take on the house bots, don't they?

CEASE!

Helix is definitely going to feel dizzy in the morning. :proud:
Seung Mina 6 (13) and O.I.D go through to Round 2!

Sam: Welcome back. We're about to get into our second fight of the evening, with three brand-new robots coming into the arena, but one is going to come out and meet their maker.

(BATTLE 2!!!)

From Hoogvilet, in Holland, GBOD!

GBOD will run in circles around anyone if they're not fast enough to get away. It's packed with a spinning body revolving around 2000RPM, and spins its way back up when flipped over. However, it's slow to self-right, and it's got only 10km / hr (6.21 mph) top speed. Good machine, though.

From Patricia, Ontario, Bloody Frigid!

Bloody Frigid will knock opponents out cold if they aren't quick enough. The crushing claw packs a wallop, powered by Vivoil Pump running off a S28-400 magmotor, and a srimech that is very similar to Razer helps it get back on its wheels. When you combine that with tough armour, 15 mph top speed, you got a machine that will kick ro-butt big time!

From Bodmin, Roadblock!

Roadblock is a golden oldie, having won the first series of Robot Wars. Unfortunately though, it's pretty outdated but it DOES have a nasty sting in the tail, carrying a saw that will cause some good damage. Its top speed is 5 mph, which is extremely slow... and I doubt it will go very far in the competition. :proud:

Roboteers, Stand By...

There's Tracy and Leo in one control booth, at the controls of Bloody Frigid and GBOD respectively, and Joey controls Roadblock in the other booth. The house robots in the battle come in the form of Sgt. Bash, with the flamethrower and the claws, and also Napoleon Botaparte with the amazing pushing power.

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

GBOD immediately spins up to full speed, while Bloody Frigid chases after Roadblock, and get underneath its side! Now, it crunches into the armour of Roadblock, and pushes the former Robot Wars champ right into Sgt. Bash! It brings the claw down on Roadblock, and causes more damage! The side is crunched severely, and GBOD stays out of trouble at the moment, but now it comes into the action! Roadblock gets away from Sgt. Bash, and gets underneath the side of Bloody Frigid, but it's quick to get away from the scoop of Roadblock! Now, it gets a tight grip on Roadblock again, and slams it right into GBOD's 2000RPM spinning shell, rear-first!
CRASH!!!
Roadblock spins out of control, and there is a gash in it! Now, Roadblock's in trouble here already, its circular saw is not moving at all! GBOD's spinner must have disabled the motor of the saw, and now, GBOD spins up again, and slams into Roadblock's side! Roadblock tries getting away but...
CRASH!!!
Roadblock is just getting crushed here, and there is a huge gash in the left side of it due to that 2000RPM spinning shell! Roadblock spins away out of control and into the wall it goes! Bloody Frigid comes in for the kill again, and slamming into Roadblock! Roadblock is in all sorts of trouble here, really... and it's in even more trouble as it goes right into the spinning ring of GBOD courtesy of Bloody Frigid...
CRASH!!!
Good gracious me, sparks are flying, and another huge gash in the side of Roadblock has been made, exposing the mechanics! Roadblock is still hanging in there though, but it's limping around the arena as it heads for the pit release button--
CRASH!!!
Oh dear, that did not look very good for Roadblock as GBOD just slammed into it again! The slam sends Roadblock spinning away into the wall again, and there's a huge gash on the right side of Roadblock now! Roadblock is still moving here, strangely enough, hitting the pit button! Now, GBOD immediately spins up again, and slams into the machine from Bodmin... Roadblock is now trying to save itself by driving towards the open pit--
CRASH!!!
Too late. The spinner sends Roadblock spinning away into the center of the arena, and there's a battery hanging out of the machine... I think that Roadblock is a goner, to be honest... there is no movement in the machine whatsoever. The Refbot starts counting the first Robot Wars champ out!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Roadblock is out of there, and now the arena becomes sort of a playground for the house robots... Napoleon slams into Roadblock and pushes it somewhere, and I've got a bad feeling it's going to be... yup, just as I suspected, it's the drop zone. Well, I tell you, Roadblock has made a valliant effort in this battle to stay alive and put up a fight, but now a steel ladder is about to go crashing down on Roadblock! The countdown is on from the audience!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... CRASH!!!
Roadblock gets slammed hard by the steel ladder as it goes tumbling down from 38 feet above the arena floor, and finally Roadblock is going down into the pit with help from Bloody Frigid any minute... now. BOOM!

CEASE!

Roadblock gets blocked from going farther into the competition.
GBOD and Bloody Frigid go through!

Round 2 Line-Ups
Seung Mina (13) VS Bloody Frigid
GBOD VS O.I.D

Tactics and Predictions are always appreciated.

I haven't been on such tenterhooks for a long while. :shock:

Yay @ getting through :proud: good job Sam :)

Seung Mina VI (13) vs. Bloody Frigid

I'm really gonna regret help making Bloody Frigid, I can tell. :P

Anyway, Mina is tough to latch onto properly due to the shape and center of gravity, so try and use that to slip out of any dangerous situations. Other than that, get in Frigid's face and give it a good flipping, preferably over walls and into house robots. If I'm feeling like an arse, try and get its srimechs damaged through much bashing. :P Of course the pit is a nice option too. Let's relive the glory days of Mina 3. :)

GBOD vs. O.I.D.

lmao :rofl: I'll say O.I.D. :P

oid vs gbod

ah, right this should be a corker! (great fights so far btw, keep it up!) these 2 robots are similar in many ways:

Quote:

---

Kody says:
both acronyms,
both powerful FBS/ring spinners
and both end in D
which stands for dead
which will be what the arena will end up being :lol:

---

so this should be pretty even, however im feeling lucky! (and no thats not a google plug :talker: ) as i see it there are 2 possible plans of attack:

1: rev-charge-insane impact-double K.O/one robot standing :uhoh:

2: spin up and then run away...open up the pit or turn on hazards etc, then try and use my rear to ricochet him away/over (no scrimech :mrgreen: ) /into hazards/house bots/ oota...the last of which may work if im near enough to the walls....if that dosent work use the disk and pull the suicide/insane impact card....you never know :wink:

use whichever seems fitting...

good luck matey!

jack

Tactic, spin up and attack. Rinse, repeat.

May the toughest robot win.

Justine: Right Kody, the draw has been made and you are up against Bloody Frigid! What do you think about that?
Kody: Crap. :lame: Now, I'm not saying this because I'm worried; I'm saying it because I helped a lot with building it with Tracy. it's going to be very difficult breaking up a machine that I've worked so hard on...
Justine: Ouch, that's not very good. Anyway, tactics?
Kody: Uh... yeah. I'm just going to flip it anywhere I want, including the house robots...
Justine: What do you think about Tracy?
Kody: She is highly respectable, I respect her very much myself, but being up against her... well, we'll see how it goes.
Justine: All right then, good luck and may the best robot win.
Kody: Thanks.

Justine: Hey Tracy, how's Bloody Frigid doing?
Tracy: Pretty good, I'm just sharpening the beak up. So who am I up against?
Justine: Do you really want to know? :proud:
Tracy: Yeah, of course.
Justine: Oh, I wouldn't be so sure, because you're up against Seung Mina.
Tracy: Hahahaha! So I'm up against Kody. I think I'm dead, because Kody is one of the best vapourboteers, so I'll try my best to avoid the front, and hopefully put up a good fight.
Justine: All right, good luck.
Tracy: Ta.

Sam: Hey, if you thought that was gruesome, you haven't seen nothing yet! LET ROUND 2 BEGIN!!!

(BATTLE 3!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

BLOODY FRIGID!!!

SEUNG MINA 6!!!

Roboteers, Stand by...

Tracy Farber is in the first booth at the controls of Bloody Frigid, and Kody Kunz in the other booth at the controls of Seung Mina. House robots in this fight will be Dead Metal with the scorpion-like pincers and the nasty sting of the saw, and the great spinning hammers of Mindbender.

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

Seung Mina, immediately out of the traps, and Bloody Frigid chases after it. Now, Seung Mina turns and slides its wedge underneath Bloody Frigid! The machine from Patricia is in peril from Seung Mina, and gets flipped into one of the CPZ's. Of course, if you are in them, the house robots can come and attack you. Dead Metal is about to do just that on Bloody Frigid, and gets in with the pincers... BUT WAIT! Bloody Frigid gets away from the CPZ and fights back by getting underneath Seung Mina's side! The crusher comes down, and now it slams the 13th seeds into the spinning hammers of Mindbender!
CRASH!!!
What a hit; that attack sends Seung Mina spinning away into the centre of the arena... Seung Mina is okay though... or is it?! The 13th seeds are slightly, only slightly limping, it looks like! I think that Mindbender did something to the inside of the machine. However, that doesn't stop Seung Mina from getting underneath Bloody Frigid again! Now, it carries the crusher towards the barrier, and tries to flip it over the fence!
FLIP!
Bloody Frigid almost gets flipped out, but it bounces off the wall and back into the arena it goes! Immediately, Bloody Frigid presses the pit button and gets under Seung Mina! It drags the 13th seeds closer to the pit, but Seung Mina is able to get away just in the nick of time! This is a very good battle we're seeing here, and now, Seung Mina gets under Bloody Frigid again, and carries it to the wall! Now, Bloody Frigid is in danger of getting flipped out here...
FLIP!
... but Tracy refuses to take no for an answer here, and Bloody Frigid survives the flip a second time! Great defence by the newcomer, I must say. Bloody Frigid self-rights, and gets under the side of Seung Mina with the front wedge... and brings the crusher down again! Now, it drags Seung Mina right into Dead Metal's CPZ, and Dead Metal clamps Seung Mina with the pincers and brings that dreadful saw down! BZZT! Sparks fly violently and scatters the arena floor! This just might turn into a very big upset if the 13th seeds crash out in the second round! Seung Mina wants to prove that wrong, as it gets away from Dead Metal and gets under Bloody Frigid's side! Bloody Frigid is in peril here again, as it gets carried away to the wall!
FLIP!
BUT NO! Tracy survives Kody's attack once again here! Bloody Frigid is doing extremely well in the battle against the 13th seeds here, and it could pull off a huge upset here. Seung Mina is not done yet, as it flips Bloody Frigid again, and tries to push it towards the pit, but the crusher self-rights again and gets away miraculously! This is a great battle between two outstanding robots here! Both bots want very badly to finish this once and for all, but Bloody Frigid gets underneath the side of Seung Mina and gets the crushing claw down again, and starts dragging it... towards the pit! Now, the 13th seeds are in danger of falling here... Bloody Frigid is about to pull off a very big victory here and Seung Mina tries to get away... and it does! Now, Seung Mina gets underneath Bloody Frigid's side, and drags it towards the wall again! Now it fires the flipper...
FLIP!
Bloody Frigid, what a performence this is! It escapes defeat yet another time, and time is running out for both of these robots now...
10... 9... 8...
Bloody Frigid gets underneath again, and puts the claw down on Seung Mina again...
7... 6... 5... 4...
The 13th seeds get dragged onto the saws for some sparks, and BZZT! Sparks fly, and the audience just loves it! Seung Mina gets away though...
3... 2... 1...
and I think time has run out for both of these bots. My god, what a fantastic battle this is!

CEASE!

... and yes, and it will go to a judges' decision, since the bots are still mobile.

JD: Seung Mina / Bloody Frigid
Style: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Damage: 2/5 / 3/5
Control: 2.6/5 / 2.4/5
Aggresion: 2.9/5 / 2.1/5
Total Score: 9.9/10 / 10.1/20

Looks like 13 was an unlucky number for Seung Mina 6. Oh dear... :(
Bloody Frigid goes through to the Heat G Final!

Gah...

Well I'm not entirely sure how Frigid was able to control Mina that easily (especially from the sides), but good fight regardless, well done Tracy. :)

And yeah, I stand by what I said about GBOD crashing out. :P

Justine: Right, Leo. Do you know who you're up against?
Leo: No, who am I up against?
Justine: You are up against O.I.D.
Leo: Now, I'm not trying to be overconfident here, but this just made my day. It's going to be a breeze. Spin up and kill it, that's the only thing to do really...
Justine: You reckon you can do it?
Leo: Yeah, most likely.
Justine: Glad to see that you're so confident, and what do you think of Jack?
Leo: He is an awesome roboteer, no doubt, but I think he's met his match.
Justine: All right, good luck in the arena.
Leo: Thank ye.

Justine: Hey there Jack. How's it going?
Jack: I'm good, and O.I.D is doing good as well.
Justine: That's great to hear. Now, you know who you're up against?
Jack: No, I don't actually.
Justine: Who do you want to be up against?
Jack: Erm... anyone but the big spinning thing.
Justine: Oh... bad news for you. You're up against GBOD.
Jack: Crap. :lame: Well, I don't really know what's going to happen... I'll try to do my best and get the disc into play before GBOD gets up to speed.
Justine: All right then, good luck.
Jack: Yeah, thanks.

(BATTLE 4!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome...

GBOD!!!

O.I.D!!!

Roboteers, Stand by...

Let's have a look at the teams. In the first booth, I see Leo Van Miert who is controlling GBOD, and there's Jack Orr in the other booth at the controls of O.I.D. Both robots end with the letter D; go figure. :P Anyway, the house robots in this fight will be Shunt with the diamond-edged axe and the lifting scoop, and also the great hammer of Head Smash which could leave all robots with a severe headache. :proud:

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

Off we go, with the winner of this battle going to fight Bloody Frigid in the heat final. Both bots are spinning up to dangerous speeds here... and here they are now about to come crashing into each other, their weapons spun up to full speed!
CRASH!!!
The force causes huge amounts of sparks to fly, goodness me! Both bots spin out of control, and into the wall they both go with massive force! They are both okay though, and the robots spin up again and try to knock each other out again!
CRASH!!!
The power of the impact just flings both machines across the arena, and I'm surprised to see they're still okay! No major damage has been caused to either of them, but anyway, both robots spin up once again, and slam into each other on a full frontal collision with tremendous amounts of energy being spewed out!
CRASH!!!
Good gracious me, the two machines get flung away from each other, and more sparks are flying like mad! Even I'm starting to get frightened and I'm way up here commentating! This is a smashing good fight we're seeing here, and again, they collide with perfect synchronization... oh no, this does not look good...
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly, and both robots get flung away again! Lots of action here in this battle, and both robots are still duking it out! Now, GBOD tries to do a different attack now, as it avoids the disc of O.I.D and slams into the side of the machine from Richmond! O.I.D tries to turn but...
CRASH!!!
What a hit by the Dutch machine, as O.I.D is slammed away into the CPZ of Head Smash! Now, the house robot brings the hammer down with massive force!
WHAM!!!
That's what will happen if you get to close to the mighty hammer-- wait a minute, O.I.D is running in circles... I think that the earlier attack by GBOD actually dislocated something inside, or maybe it was the hammer of Head Smash... but anyway, Refbot is checking in to see if O.I.D is moving properly... and the countdown for O.I.D is on!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
O.I.D has been counted down and out of the competition! I must say, kudos to Jack for bringing in such a wonderful machine, but now, O.I.D has been immobilized, and Shunt opens the pit, and finally gives the last rites for O.I.D by dumping it. BOOM!

CEASE!

O.I.D is left dazed and confused.
GBOD goes through to the Heat G Final!!!

HEAT G FINAL: GBOD VS Bloody Frigid

Predictions and tactics are welcome anytime, of course.

WHAT, damn you Leo, mess up my prediction will you :P

GBOD vs. Bloody Frigid

...I don't see Frigid winning. :P

I don't see Bloody Frigid being able to take hold. Spin up and attack as is the normal tactic.

Justine: Right Leo, you're in the heat final and up against Bloody Frigid!
Leo: Bloody Frigid, eh? It's the one with the vertical crusher, isn't it?
Justine: Yes it is.
Leo: Well, I think that one thing that vertical crushers cannot stand is full body spinners, because that was how Razer almost lost to 13 Black in Robot Wars...
Justine: So your tactics are to just spin up and kill it ASAP?
Leo: Actually, you took the words right out of my mouth. :proud:
Justine: Haha. :proud: You think you'll win this heat?
Leo: I don't really know, but I'll still do my best and hopefully things will turn out well.
Justine: Yes, that's what we like to hear! Good luck.
Leo: Thank you.

Justine: Hey Tracy! How's it going?
Tracy: I'm trying to fix it, but nothing really major, just minor touch-ups.
Justine: Oh that's good. Now, you're up against GBOD, what do you think about that?
Tracy: Erm... oh boy, it's probably going to be very difficult, but I'll try to be annoying as possible, and give it my best shot.
Justine: So what do you think of Leo?
Tracy: Well, he's obviously very respectable, and also one of the best roboteers. So I think that he's the guy to be reckoned with.
Justine: All right then, good luck.
Tracy: Thanks, I'll need it.

Dan: GBOD and Bloody Frigid, two very good newcomer robots are battling it out. GBOD is the more experienced out of these two, having fought in Eye of the Robot Series 3, but Bloody Frigid is not to be underestimated, of course. Now, as Leo mentioned in the pits, if there's one thing that crushers can't stand is full body spinners. Therefore, my prediction is for GBOD to dazzle us all. Anyway, let's see if we're right!

* * *

Sam: We started off this heat with six robots, but now there are only two left... who will be the last robot standing? Brace yourselves... IT'S THE HEAT FINAL!!!

(HEAT FINAL!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome....

GBOD!!!

BLOODY FRIGID!!!

Roboteers, Stand by...

Wow, what a final we have, we've got GBOD controlled by Leo Van Miert in the first booth, and also Bloody Frigid, controlled by Tracy Farber in the other booth. The house robots in this battle is the ghastly and mean Sir Killalot with the pincers and rotating spear, and last but not least, the spinning ring that is sure to make all robots become... Mangled Metal. :proud:

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

The heat final is on, and GBOD is in spinning mode. BUT WAIT! Bloody Frigid slams into it before it gets up to full speed, gets the beak down and carries it over to Sir Killalot's CPZ! Killalot comes in for the kill but GBOD barely gets away there! Good aggression early on from Bloody Frigid, and GBOD starts to spin up again! Now, it gets ready to slam into the side of the Canadian crusher!
CRASH!!!
Goodness me, the onslaught sends Bloody Frigid spinning away and the 8mm titanium is dented badly! Good attack there by GBOD, and fortunately for Bloody Frigid, there is nothing wrong with it. GBOD is in peril though, as it gets pushed by Bloody Frigid right into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks are flying, and GBOD gets away. No damage is caused to GBOD whatsoever, and now, it spins up again to deadly speed-- good gracious me, the shell is moving in a blur now! The shell is spinning so fast that you can't even see the blades on there, and... erm, Bloody Frigid, GBOD is about to hit you...
CRASH!!!
Lord have mercy, the arena is showered by sparks and Bloody Frigid is just spun away out of control! Bloody Frigid is limping slightly because of that attack, but that does not stop it from getting in underneath GBOD's 1cm ground clearence and dragging it into Mangled Metal's CPZ... GBOD is trying to get out of there... and it eventually does just by the skin of its chinny-chin-chin! :proud: Great attack by Bloody Frigid there, and now GBOD fights back by spinning itself back up to speed, and slamming into the side of the Razer-esque machine!
CRASH!!!
What a hit! The slam sends Bloody Frigid spinning away into the side wall! A dent has been made in the armour as well, and this is a terrific fight we are seeing here so far! Now, GBOD avoids the crusher of Bloody Frigid narrowly, and slams into the side again! Bloody Frigid tries to turn but...
CRASH!!!
That is one heck of a hit, as Bloody Frigid just gets slammed into the pit button, and the pit goes down! Bloody Frigid is still limping, but now GBOD is in trouble from Bloody Frigid, as it gets carried to Sir Killalot's CPZ! Killalot tries to grab GBOD and it does! Now it carries GBOD into the saws, and sparks fly some more! Fortunately, no damage has been caused; GBOD gets the heck away and spins up to its maximum speed! You can't even see the blades at this point, because it's moving in a blur! Now, once it gets into contact with something--
CRASH!!!
...just like that, the results are deadly! Bloody Frigid takes another hit from the spinning shell and spins away near the pit, but not in it! Bloody Frigid gets away from the pit of doom, but it's not running so smoothly, is it? The attack must have knocked something out of place from the inside, and now it's limping even more... and it has little maneuverability... oh dear. GBOD comes in for what looks to be the final attack, shell spun up to full speed again!
CRASH!!!
Ooh, that has got to hurt, and a gash has been made on the side of Bloody Frigid! I think that Bloody Frigid seems to be completely disabled on one side now, and running in circles with absolutely nowhere to go. A fantastic job by Tracy in making it this far into the competition, but the Refbot is about to bring this heat final to a close by counting the crusher out!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Kudos to Tracy for gracing our presence with a fantastic machine, but now, Bloody Frigid is out of there! The house robots close in on Bloody Frigid, and Sir Killalot picks it up and puts it onto the floor flipper! We will see Bloody Frigid fly in 3... 2... 1... FLIP! The Canandian machine is on its side, and Mangled Metal spins up! Oh no, this does not look good at all...
CRASH!!!
Mangled Metal just spins Bloody Frigid right into the wall, and finally, for the finishing touches, Sir Killalot picks it up with his pincers, and to avoid any further damage, Bloody Frigid gets dumped. BOOM!

Bloody Frigid gets knocked out cold.
GBOD goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!

* * *
Sam: Aww, so close.
Tracy: Yeah, losing is a bitter pill to swallow, but I always have next time.
Sam: Yes, love that attitude! What went wrong for you there?
Tracy: After GBOD battered the side a couple of times, Bloody Frigid was left in circles, end of story.
Sam: Ouch. You going to come back next year?
Tracy: Yeah, hopefully I'll make some modifications and come back here.
Sam: All righty then! Everyone, let's all give it up for Tracy Farber and BLOODY FRIGID!!!
(Crowd Cheers)
Sam: Well Leo, you've waited a long time for at least one of your machines to win a heat, haven't you?
Leo: Yes indeedy.
Sam: Well, now you did it!
Leo: Haha, I did indeed.
Sam: What was the tactic?
Leo: Usual tactics: Spin up and kill it ASAP.
Sam: Great job for winning the heat. How do you think GBOD will do in the Series Semi's?
Leo: Hopefully I'll go all the way, but before that, I think I'll go and recharge the batteries a bit more.
Sam: All right then! Everybody, raise the roof for Leo Van Miert and your winner of HEAT G, GBOD!!!
(Crowd Cheers)
Sam: Well, we hope you can join us next time when six robots continue to clash for the title of RoboBash! Good night!
(Crowd Cheers again, Leo, Tracy and Sam shakes hands)

Next Time...

The gloves are off once again, as the 15th seeded Wedginator 9.0 returns with a vengeance, and 5 more robots are out for blood as well! Will Wedginator keep its seeding, or will it lose its cool?

Heat H
Wedginator 9.0 (15) VS No Consequences VS Mobile Failure
Spin Dash Unleashed VS LockJaw VS Skull

Tactics and Predictions, please.

Hurray, I predicted the right thing to win at last. :P Good battle again, Sam. :)

Ignoring previous tactics given...

Wedginator 9.0 vs. No Consequences vs. Mobile Failure

Both opponents have to self-right after a flip. Tracy will self-right faster. Joey won't. So I propose a team-up with my fellow Canadian...I lift up No Consequences and flip it, and you hammer its underbelly. :) I'll stay near the end of No Consequences that has the hinge of its lifter on it; that way it'll fall right back onto my lifter and I can deny it getting back into the fight. :proud:

Regarding No Consequences' translational spinning abilities, I don't think they'll come to much fruition here, sorry Joey. :P

Spin Dash Unleashed vs. LockJaw v3 vs. Skull

LockJaw out I think.

Team-up accepted. :)
Go after No Consequences, smash when it seems smart to do so. Like when it's flipped.

erm...it might have to be pushing the pit release button and drawing the others into an edge of pit pushing match this time, given the circumstances :P No Consequences' large size and central wheels should make it quite difficult to pit, so with good driving I could well come out on top and try and snag one of Wedginator or the Failure and flick them into the pit with the blades, or indeed just push and lift/drag them o'er the edge. Avoid the flipper of Wedginator where I can and rely on the lowness of the lifter forks.

Best of luck to the pair of you :)

All right guys, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to put battles up; my laptop was acting up on me for quite a while. Fortunately though, that's all fixed, so here's Heat H!
* * *

Sam: Hey, we are halfway through the heats and getting ever so close to finding out who will be our next RoboBash champion! We've got six more warriors fighting it out, but only one gets the series semi-final spot. So, ARE YOU READY TO UNLEASH THE MAYHEM!!!

(CROWD CHEERS)

Sam: All right then, hold on tight; this heat will blow you away! So, LET THE WAAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!

(BATTLE 1!!!)

From Toronto, Ontario, and seeded #15, Wedginator 9.0!

The 15th Seeds are ready for action again, with a pair of electric lifting prongs that can lift up to 500kg, and it also has a pneumatic spike that can pierce the base of robots as well. Much improved than last year, when it lost to Leprosy Infection in the Heat A Final... how far will it go this time, I wonder? We'll find out!

From Pontefract, in Yorkshire, No Consequences!

No Consequences is a newcomer to Series 2, but has competed in the Mini-Tourney where it crashed out in a Round 2 battle against Tira 5. It's got a mean lifting arm that is powered by electric linear actuators. If you think that wasn't mean enough, then check this out. It also has a very big translating spinner which spins at about 1000RPM, and dishes out 130kJ of pure energy. The weakness, however, is a bit confusing. Runaway steamrollers...? Erm... ooookay... :proud:

From Patricia, Ontario, Mobile Failure!

Mobile Failure is a newcomer, but a very good machine nonetheless. The axe can cleave all opponents in two while the front wedge can push other robots around the ring. However, I don't really like the polycarbonate base armour, and 6mm titanium is not the MOST resilient, but is not bad at all.

Roboteers, Stand By...

There is Wedginator 9.0 with Kody Kunz on the controls, with Tracy alongside him at the controls of Mobile Failure. Joey is in the other booth at the controls of No Consequences. House Robot 1: A robot complete with grabbing hands and a huge hammer. House Robot 2: This king came back from the dead as a robot with a massive flywheel and clamping jaws. That's right, it's the big boys themselves, King Arthur and Mr. Psycho!

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

Off we go with the battle, and the 15th seeded Wedginator scrambles towards No Consequences who has just started to spin up. As we all know, Wedginator is a very good machine, coming second in the Eye of the Robot tourney, and it is lifting up No Consequences and pushing it to Mobile Failure. No Consequences is axed by Mobile Failure but there is just a small dent in the armour. Now, it self-rights, and spins up again! No Consequences has spun up to its maximum potential, and when that thing hits something...
CRASH!!!
... you just know that THAT'S going to happen! Sparks are flying and Mobile Failure's side skirt is BENT out of shape already! How about that for an attack, Mobile Failure is okay though. Now Wedginator is trying to save Mobile Failure by zooming at No Consequences, and it gets underneath! Now, it flips No Consequences into the pit release button using the pneumatic spike, and the pit opens up it's gaping mouth with a loud siren. Now, No Consequences flips itself back over on its wheels, and goes away to spin up! Now, it goes towards Mobile Failure, and the axebot plays the brave fool and slams itself into the machine from Pontefract! Uh oh, this does not look good at all...
CRASH!!!
Both robots spin away, but no major damage is caused to anyone. Mobile Failure is oblivious to the attack, and now it slams into No Conseuqences before it starts getting up to full speed! It brings the axe down hard on top of No Consequences, and drags it towards the arena saws! BZZZT! Sparks are flying like crazy, and the crowd is loving it! Now, No Consequences is okay, no major damage has been caused... but now, here comes Wedginator in for the kill! The Canadian machine wants to take No Consequences out and slams into it!
CRASH!!!
The hit sends both robots spinning and flying into the arena wall! No Consequences is still being chased by Wedginator, but Wedginator gets underneath with the wedge shape, and fires the spike at the base armour of No Consequences, causing it to flip over! Now, No Consequences self-rights and spins up to full speed again, and Wedginator also slams into it!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly and both robots go spinning away, and Wedginator pursues No Consequences and gets underneath it! The lifter flips over No Consequences, and Mobile Failure comes in and axes its underbelly up! No Consequences tries self-righting, but now it's being dragged towards the CPZ by Mobile Failure... here comes King Arthur with the flywheel!
CRASH!!!
What a hit! No Consequences gets flipped by the impact and almost out of the arena! Now, No Consequences self-rights, and tries to spin up, but Mobile Failure slams into it before it gets up to speed! It brings the axe down, and the machine from Pontefract is in deep trouble as it gets dragged near to the pit! No Consequences trying to get away here... BUT NO! No Consequences goes down!

CEASE!

No Consequences meets its doom in the pit.
Wedginator (15) and Mobile Failure go through to Round 2!

* * *
Sam: Welcome back to RoboBash! We are about to start the second battle and throw in three more victims into the arena!

(BATTLE 2!!!)

From Glasgow, Scotland, Spin Dash Unleashed!

Spin Dash Unleashed has changed a lot since last year, when it was beaten in Round 2 on a judge's decision by Tempest. This year, it's got a 4mm hardox shell that is almost impossible to penetrate, and a nice 6WD design for more traction. Also, with a 16mph top speed, it can push virtually anything in its way, but the main feature is the huge bottom-dwelling horizontal sawblade which spins at about 3000RPM. Will this dash its way to victory, or will it spin itself out of control?

From Wales, LockJaw V3!

LockJaw is an axlebot, with a very nasty claw weapon on the front powered by two types of mobility. The first claw is electric for fast grabbing and the second claw is hydraulic for causing some serious damage. The good thing about this type of design is that even if it's flipped, it does nothing to the machine. However, it can be a bit of a challenge to control.

From England, Skull!

Skull is a reverse wedge robot, with a very good pushing wedge on the rear. The spinning drum weapon on the front weighs 31kg, spins at 1500RPM and has 9 teeth attached to it. This should do some serious damage, and its 3.2mm hardox armour is very good as well. The wheels ARE exposed from the top and bottom... still, good robot though.

Roboteers, Stand By...

There is Skull driven by Lewis Matthews and Steve-O there beside him controlling Spin Dash in the first booth, and in the other booth is Liam Eliot driving LockJaw . The house bots in this fight are Napoleon Botaparte with the great pushing ability, and the scorpion-like Dead Metal with the nasty sting of the saw.

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

We have got the second battle going here, and LockJaw already goes for the experienced Spin Dash. Spin Dash turns and avoids the claw of LockJaw! Now, it slams into the side of LockJaw, saw spun up to full speed!
CRASH!!!
Spin Dash's saw is causing sparks, and LockJaw is spun away slightly! Now, Spin Dash pushes LockJaw into the arena saws! BZZZT! More sparks fly and the audience goes nuts up there! Now, LockJaw gets away completely oblivious to the attack, slams into Skull's side and grabs it with the claws! It starts to bring its middle claw down on it, and the sound of crunching metal is devastating to hear! Skull is pushed onto the flames by LockJaw, and it's trying to get away... and it does! Spin Dash crashes their party and slams into LockJaw with the saw again!
CRASH!!!
The forecast calls for immense flurries of sparks, and LockJaw gets spun away slightly again! Now, Spin Dash pushes LockJaw into Skull's fully spun up drum using the 16mph top speed! Skull reads the play and also moves in for the kill...
CRASH!!!
That sends LockJaw flying, and great teamwork there by Spin Dash and Skull! LockJaw is okay though, as it slams into Spin Dash and brings the claws down! Spin Dash tries its best to get away from there, but LockJaw has it tightly in its clutches! Spin Dash is being pushed towards Dead Metal's CPZ, and LockJaw's claw eases up its grip on it. LockJaw gets away from the action, and goes after Skull! Meanwhile, Spin Dash is in Dead Metal's clutches, and the saw comes down! BZZZT! Sparks fly, and the audience goes wild! Now, Spin Dash escapes and goes into the centre of the arena! There is a small dent in the armour of Spin Dash due to the attack by LockJaw, but no major damage is caused. LockJaw tries to get a grip on Skull but it gets away and slams into the Welsh machine, drum spun up to full speed!
CRASH!!!
What an attack by Skull's drum, there! It thrusts LockJaw up in the air, and LockJaw comes down with a thump! Now, Spin Dash comes in for the kill on the machine from Wales, saw spinning like mad!
CRASH!!!
The saw causes showers of sparks on LockJaw! LockJaw is slightly limping now... I think that the attack damaged the wheel! However, that does not stop it from getting a grip on Spin Dash and pushing it towards the CPZ...
CRASH!!!
... oh, what's this?! Skull tries to save Spin Dash by slamming into the rear end of LockJaw, and Spin Dash gets away! Skull now presses the pit button and the pit goes down! Spin Dash slams into LockJaw's side and tries to push it into the pit! LockJaw escapes from Spin Dash, but not from Skull's drum!
CRASH!!!
That attack sends LockJaw flying through the air, and almost in the pit! Skull tries to dump LockJaw using the rear wedge, but it gets away again! LockJaw gets a grip on Skull, and tries to finish it off...
CRASH!!!
... Spin Dash comes in on LockJaw's side to save Skull! LockJaw gets spun away, and Skull gets the heck away as well! However, LockJaw's limping problem has gotten a lot worse now. Has the attack by Spin Dash just damaged the wheel even more? Well, whatever it is, it's heavily limping, and unable to move freely! Taking this to advantage, Spin Dash starts pushing LockJaw into the pit! LockJaw tries to get away but... BOOM!

CEASE!

LockJaw has been locked in the pit.
Spin Dash Unleashed and Skull go through to Round 2!

Round 2 Battles
Spin Dash Unleashed VS Mobile Failure
Skull VS Wedginator 9.0 (15)

Tactics and Predictions are always welcome.

Woo, the 'Nuck team up worked. Care for a pint for commiseration, Joey? :proud:

Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Mobile Failure

Mobile Failure's got tough skirting I think, Steve might have a hard time chewing through them to get to the juicy wheels. I'll side with Tracy here for a grapple'n'pit. Oh, and I'll let Tracy say which province Patricia is REALLY in. :P

Skull vs. Wedginator 9.0 (15)

Hmm...Skull is kind of like Little Drummer Boy, eh? Mkay...I think its main tactic is to rip and flip, so I'll counter that the only way I know how: flipping IT. :proud: When it's flipped, it won't be able to flip me. And then let's see it get through my overkill rear armour... :proud:

So...get it flipped, then ram into its drum with the rear end to try and take it out of comission. If he tries to wedge me after he's flipped, go at him with the wedge and try to pit him. Don't flip him back over once he's overturned. Oh, and self-right when flipped, of course. :P

Best of luck Lewis. :)

Justine: Right Steve, found out your opponent yet?
Steve: No I do not, who is Spin Dash up against?
Justine: You're up against Mobile Failure. How does that make you feel?
Steve: I don't think it will be easy to beat, but I still think I have the slight more advantage. :proud:
Justine: Mkay, tactics?
Steve: Well, rip the skirts off and maybe some rubber off the tires, go push it into the pit or wherever, and hope for the best.
Justine: All right then. Best of luck in there.
Steve: Ta.

Justine: I'm here with Tracy now, you know who you're up against?
Tracy: No, who am I up against?
Justine: Your opponent is Spin Dash.
Tracy: Augh, I had to ask. :lame: But on second thought, maybe I DO have a chance. This axe right here can cause some serious damage.
Justine: Okay, tactics?
Tracy: Well, I could maybe snag a wheel hole and drag it into unpleasent places or puncture a tire... well, just axe it to hell, in general.
Justine: All right then, best of luck in the arena.
Tracy: Thanks.

* * *

Sam: Hey! This is the part where the competition REALLY starts to get fierce! LET ROUND 2 BEGIN!!!

(BATTLE 3!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

SPIN DASH UNLEASHED!!!

It was beaten at this stage last year and hopes to go farther.

MOBILE FAILURE!!!

A very promising newcomer here, indeed. That axe is very good as well.

There is Steve McGregor on the controls right there of Spin Dash in the first booth. Of course, Tracy Farber is on the controls of Mobile Failure as well in the other control box. Matilda will be in the arena for this battle with the spinning flywheel of death, and the dangerous hammer of Head Smash will be giving robots a bad case of amnesia. :proud:

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

Mobile Failure is first to move, with Spin Dash following. Spin Dash has that whirling sawblade, mounted at the bottom of the robot. Now, that's something we don't really see that often. The idea of this set up is to attack the wheels or skirts of the opponent so it can pose quite a threat, but look at that! Mobile Failure has a grip on Spin Dash with the axe already and it's trying to push Spin Dash into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly, but no damage is caused to Spin Dash in spite of its 4mm hardox armour. Spin Dash is spinning its saw up again, and digs right into Mobile Failure's side!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly again and Mobile Failure gets spun away! The skirt is slightly bent and the wheels are in danger of being damaged! Now, Mobile Failure immediately fights back by getting under the Scottish machine's side somehow, and slamming it into the CPZ of Matilda! The flywheel is ready for action! Spin Dash tries getting away... too late.
CRASH!!!
Spin Dash gets flung into the air, and comes down with a thump! Mobile Failure is currently on top, but Spin Dash must have a few of its own tricks up its sleeves! One skirt on Spin Dash is bent totally out of shape. However, no serious damage is caused to it at the moment, fortunately. Now, Spin Dash's saw is spinning, and it collides into Mobile Failure's side without notice!
CRASH!!!
The previously damaged skirt is ripped away with a shower of sparks! Spin Dash's sawblade is now starting to cause some real damage but Mobile Failure is not done yet! Mobile Failure gets underneath Spin Dash again, and slams into the side of it! Now, it slams Steve's machine into the CPZ of Head Smash who is about to bring his hammer down... BUT WAIT A MINUTE! Head Smash's hammer hits nothing but the floor due to Spin Dash's miraculous escape! Spin Dash continues to battle another moment or two, as it slams into the side of the Canadian machine with the spinning sawblade!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly, and Mobile Failure looks to be limping a bit now! The wheel must have taken some damage, and this will be very important for the judges if it goes to a judge's decision! Spin Dash now presses the pit button, and the pit goes down! Mobile Failure gets underneath Spin Dash and tries to fire the axe, but it gets away just in the nick of time! Spin Dash spins up its saw again, and slams into the side of Mobile Failure with massive force!
CRASH!!!
WHAT A HIT, that spins Mobile Failure away, and now the other wheel is damaged! Oh dear... Mobile Failure is now limping even more, and taking that to an advantage, Spin Dash drags the axebot into the CPZ of Head Smash! The hammer comes down...
WHAM!!!
...but Mobile Failure gets away miraculously and it hits nothing but the arena floor! I wouldn't want to imagine what could've happened to Mobile Failure if the hammer came down on it, but thankfully, it did not happen. Goodness me, what an interesting turn of events here! Steve is surprised beyond description here. Tracy sighs with relief, but that relief is short-lived, as Spin Dash spins up its saw and slams into Mobile Failure once again, trying to create more damage!
CRASH!!!
The sparks are littering the arena floor, and the titanium armour is scratched by the blade! Mobile Failure retaliates by giving Spin Dash a taste of its axe! Spin Dash is okay though, just a dent can be seen in the armour. However, time is running out for both of these robots here...
10... 9... 8... 7...
CRASH!!!
The other skirt on Mobile Failure is bent out of shape here due to Spin Dash's sawblade...
6... 5... 4...
Both robots are trying to make the most out of the time here, and Spin Dash spins up again...
3... 2... 1...
CRASH!!!
The other skirt of Mobile Failure is ripped away!

CEASE!

Both robots are still mobile at the end, so it goes to the judges. Let's have a look at the scores.

JD: Spin Dash / Mobile Failure
Style: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Control: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Damage: 2.6/5 / 2.4/5
Aggresion: 2.55/5 / 2.45/5
Total Score: 10.05/20 / 9.95/20

Mobile Failure gets spun and dashed like nobody's business. :proud:
Spin Dash Unleashed goes through to the Heat H Final!

That's a terrible judges' decision (solely because of the aggression; if you're gonna have Spin Dash win it, then at least have him win by as much as the scores in the other categories...deciding by hundredths is purely lol-worthy :proud: ...okay I'm being just as silly now XD), but it wasn't my fight so eh. :P

Otherwise, great stuff as always, and welcome back. :) Post more frequently, eh :proud:

Tactics for Wedginator from above remain.

Right, I apologize for the lack of battles recently. School has started again, and I am twice as busy as last year. Hope you understand. BTW, here's the next battle.

* * *

Justine: Right Lewis, you are up against the seeded Wedginator!
Lewis: Hmm... this is going to be harder than I thought. I mean Wedginator is the more experienced, so it's going to be quite difficult...
Justine: So, are there any tactics that you have?
Lewis: Yes indeed, just avoid that front like the plague, and try to get at its sides. If I do that, I might have a little more chance of winning. It's not going to be easy though, that's for sure.
Justine: All right then, good luck in the arena.
Lewis: Thanks.

Justine: I'm with Wedginator and Kody Kunz! How's Wedginator doing?
Kody: Great. It hasn't really gotten a lot of damage, so that's good.
Justine: Yes it is. Now, you're up against Skull!
Kody: Skull, eh? Skull is a drum-bot, so I think I have the more advantage here because of the wedge shape. I will avoid the drum, flip it over, and then let Wedginator do its work.
Justine: Wow, that was simple. :proud:
Kody: Yes indeed. :proud:
Justine: All right, good luck.
Kody: Thanks.

(BATTLE 4!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome...

SKULL!!!

WEDGINATOR!!!

There's Lewis Matthews with Skull in the first control booth, and also Wedginator's driver, the Kodster is in the other control booth as well. The house robots in this round will be Shunt with the diamond coated pick-axe and also the deadly spinning ring of Mangled Metal.

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!

So, Wedginator is the first to move, and Skull meanwhile is spinning up his drum, but Wedginator immediately SLAMS into the drumbot from England before it gets up to full speed! Now, it carries Skull immediately into the CPZ of Shunt! The house robot fires the axe and makes a dent in the armour! Skull gets away though, and it spins up again, and--
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly, and Wedginator just gets tipped onto its back, but it self-rights quickly using the lifting arm! Now, Wedginator has a bit of a scratch on its side, but no major damage is caused to it. Skull€™s drum looks very good indeed. Anyway, Wedginator flips Skull over and pushes it into the CPZ of Shunt! The axe comes slamming down and another dent is made in the armour of Skull!
Skull gets some punishment here from Wedginator and Shunt, but it is completely oblivious to it all! Now, the deadly drum spins up, and hits Wedginator from the side, and it tries to get away, but€¦
CRASH!!!
Oh, the sparks are flying and Wedginator is flipped over onto its back! Wedginator rights itself by using its spike, and it slams into the side of Skull once again! It slams Skull into Mangled metal who has its spinner spun up to full speed! Skull€™s drum is spinning madly as it tries to get away€¦
CRASH!!!
€¦too late. The spinner SLAMS Skull into the centre of the arena, and its drum has stopped moving. I think the energy output was too much for Skull, and actually dislocated something inside! Oh dear, but WAiT! Skull gets under the side of Wedginator, and pushes it into Shunt€™s CPZ and the axe comes down HARD on the top armour! Now, Kody drives Wedginator away from Shunt, and presses the pit button! The pit goes down, and Wedginator now slams into the side of the drumbot! Now, Skull is in peril, as it gets dragged ever so close to the pit€¦ Skull needs to hang on here! Skull trying to get away, and it does! Skull now gets away to the center of the arena, and Wedginator chases it! Skull now plays the brave fool and slams into the side of Wedginator and getting underneath it! Skull is dragging Wedginator close to the pit, and the 15th seeds€¦ are NOT going down! Wedginator gets away miraculously, and now it€™s a question of who goes down first! Wedginator now fights back with the wedge and slams into the side of Skull! Now, it pushes Skull and flips it€¦ RIGHT INTO THE SPINNER OF MANGLED METAL!
CRASH!!!
Whoa, that is one heck of a hit! That sends Skull spinning away into the arena saws! BZZT! The sparks fly and Skull is not moving freely at all! It€™s running in circles, and it seems that Mangled Metal has dislodged something inside AGAIN! Geez Louise! Taking that to advantage, the 15th seeded Wedginator is starting to push Skull close to the pit, and it will go down any minute€¦ NOW! BOOM!

CEASE!

Skull walks the plank and falls into the pit.
Wedginator 9.0 (15) goes through to the Heat H Final!!!

Heat Final
Spin Dash Unleashed VS Wedginator (15)

So somehow I got tipped onto my back by an inverted drum, but won anyway...w00t. :)

Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Wedginator 9.0

Similar tactics here. Flip it over, and it won't be able to do a thing to my wheels. :twisted: After that, just ram it into the pit, or house robots if they're nearby. No flipping it back over.

Best o' luck, Steve-O. :)

Again, I€™m sorry for the lack of battles. Stupid schoolwork is getting me down€¦ at least I can get the heat final out of the way. Here it is.

Spin Dash Unleashed VS Wedginator 9.0

Justine: Right Steve, Spin Dash is up against the Wedginator! What do you think about that?
Steve: Well, Wedginator has a pretty high ground clearance at the sides and back, so I think I got a good chance of winning here, who knows?
Justine: Well, anything can happen out there. Anywho, tactics?
Steve: Like I said, the ground clearance is somewhat high at the sides and back. Spin Dash will avoid the front like mad, and slowly eat away on Wedginator€™s tyres using the saw. However, Spin Dash is also capable of pushing things as well, so it will use its pushing power more than the saw. With 16 mph top speed, Spin Dash can easily do that. So, hopefully we€™ll see how it goes, and I€™ll probably kick some ro-butt. :proud:
Justine: All right, good luck.
Steve: Thanks.

Justine: All right then, Kody! You are up against Spin Dash Unleashed!
Kody: Spin Dash€¦ well, it has a very good saw weapon, and I think it€™s going to be a threat. BUT, I can get underneath and flip it over, and drag it to the pit, the CPZ€™s, you name it.
Justine: All right, so what do you think of Steve?
Kody: Well, he is a very good roboteer, and he€™s pretty respectable, but as always, respect is nothing when compared to victory. :proud:
Justine: Haha. Well, good luck.
Kody: Thanks.

* * * *

Dan: So I€™m up here in the crow€™s nest, and looking back from what we just saw in the earlier battles, I think that it could really go either way. Spin Dash is slightly faster, but Wedginator has the omnidrive and the more manueverability. So it€™s difficult for me to decide, really€¦ anyway, the arena waits so let€™s go and find out!

Sam: if you thought that was brutal enough, then you haven€™t seen anything yet! Prepare yourselves for the main event of the evening! THIS IS THE HEAT FINAL!!!

(HEAT FINAL!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome€¦

SPIN DASH UNLEASHED!!!

WEDGINATOR 9.0!!!

Roboteers, Stand by€¦

The crowd is poised, the bots are armed, and we are ready for some heat final action! There€™s Steve in the first control booth on Spin Dash€™s controls, and Kody is in the second control booth and he is driving Wedginator! As usual, the house robots€™ mission is to kill, kill, and kill more. Mindbender and Growler, we choose YOU!

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!

Time to start this heat final into gear, and the winner of this heat goes through to the Series Semi€™s. Spin Dash is slightly the more faster here at 16 mph, but don€™t forget that Wedginator is the more manueverable. Now, the saw spins up on Spin Dash, and Wedginator spins and gets underneath! Spin Dash gets away and works that saw on Wedginator!
CRASH!
The sparks are flying, but no REAL damage is caused to Wedginator. Now, Wedginator fights back by trying to get underneath! Spin Dash gets away AGAIN, and gets the saw into Wedginator€™s side!
CRASH!
The forecast calls for immense flurries of sparks! Wedginator is spun away slightly, and that will score Spin Dash points for the judges. Wedginator fights back, and gets underneath Spin Dash! Now, it tries to flip it with the spike, and fires! Spin Dash gets tossed like a salad through the air and comes back down with a loud thud! Spin Dash is still on its right side up and lives to fight another moment or two! Now, Spin Dash slams into Wedginator with the saw again!
CRASH!
Immense amounts of sparks fly and Wedginator spins away, only slightly. Now, the battle rages on, as Wedginator gets under Spin Dash again, and flips it on its back! Spin Dash€™s saw is now not as effective as when it was on its right side up. Don€™t forget though, that Spin Dash is very good at pushing opponents as well. Steve has an idea now, and slams Spin Dash into Wedginator, pushing it towards Mindbender! Wedginator tries getting away but€¦
CRASH!!!
Lord have mercy! What a hit, as the 15th seeded Wedginator gets flung away across the arena floor to the center of the arena! Wedginator is okay though€¦ or is it? Wedginator is slightly, only slightly limping a bit, and Spin Dash seems a formidable opponent for it now! Spin Dash is in trouble though, as Wedginator slams into it, and carries it towards the pit! Spin Dash needs to get away€¦ and it does, only just! Steve sighs with relief, and drives Spin Dash into the center of the arena! Wedginator again gets in underneath Spin Dash, and tries to slam it into Mindbender! Spin Dash in trouble here, BUT again it gets away by the skin of its teeth! Great defensive tactics there by Spin Dash! Now, Spin Dash retaliates by slamming into Wedginator€™s side, and pushing it towards the saws! BZZZT! Sparks are flying, but Wedginator comes out unscathed. Now, Spin Dash slams into Wedginator with massive force and pushes it into the CPZ of Mindbender once again! Wedginator tries getting away again...
CRASH!!!
Too late. :lame: Wedginator is slammed by the spinning hammers, and now it is limping even more. Oh dear. Wedginator is still pretty much alive though, and tries to put up a great fight... and now, it gets underneath Scottish machine, and pushing it towards the pit of doom! Now, Spin Dash needs to get away from there... and it does AGAIN! Spin Dash is being very persistent here, as it survived several times. Now, Wedginator turns to find Spin Dash, but due to the attack by Mindbender, it is limping heavily. Taking this to advantage, Spin Dash makes a dash towards Wedginator€™s side! Now it pushes Wedginator towards the pit... the 15th seeds are in massive trouble here... it tries to get away... BUT NO! It goes down!

CEASE!

Wedginator will be feeling dizzy in the mornin€™.
Spin Dash Unleashed goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!

Sam: Aww. So close.
Kody: Yeah, it€™s a bitter pill to swallow, that€™s for sure.
Sam: What went wrong?
Kody: Even though I had the omnidrive, he had the more pushing power... yeah, it wasn€™t pretty.
Sam: Wedginator is coming back, right?
Kody: Oh yeah!
Sam: Oh yeah, that€™s what we like to hear, everyone, raise your voices for the magnificent KODY KUNZ and his machine... WEDGINATOOOORRRR!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well, Steve-O, Spin Dash has crashed out in Round 2 last year, but now...
Steve: Yup, it€™s going to the Series Semi€™s.
Sam: How do you feel?
Steve: Over the moon, but I think there are lots of good competitors out there, so I really need to prepare myself good.
Sam: You think you€™re going to go all the way?
Steve: Oh absolutely.
Sam: All right, what a confident remark! Ladies and gentlemen, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR the great Steve McGregor and his machine, the winner of Heat H... SPIN DASH UNLEEEEEASHED!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well, all€™s well that ends well for Spin Dash, as it wins Heat H of RoboBash! Good night!
(CROWD CHEERS, Kody, Steve and Sam shakes hands)

Next Time:

The Number 16th seeds, WEDGA TRITON returns after being crashed and bashed last year by Aftershock! Can it go at least one step further? Plus, five more bloodthirsty machines are out to take the seeding away! They are... Iron Awe, Volde, Eye of Ran, Pussycat, and Roo of all Evil!

Wedga Triton VS Iron Awe VS Volde
Pussycat VS Eye of Ran VS Roo of All Evil

Tactics and predictions please.

Well I already got two bots in the semis so I can't complain there. :P 'Least I predicted the correct bot to win though. :proud:

Previous predictions remain.

From Wesbich in Cambridgeshire, Iron Awe 6!

Iron Awe is one heck of a monster, having won the title of Winter Tour champion at Roaming Robots in 2008. It has a very monstrous flipper that will clear an arena full of robots in no time at all, but as always with flippers, the CO2 supply is limited and the ground clearence is also somewhat high on the back as well.

From Shrewsbury in Shropshire and seeded #16, Wedga Triton!

Wedga has returned after getting pummelled into submission by Aftershock in the Heat Final last year, with an improved flipper running on CO2, tougher armour, and a nastier attitude. However, as with all flippers, there is a limited gas supply. Can this machine go all the way this year? We'll soon find out!

From Wales, Volde!

Here we have a Welsh machine, with three weapons, an axe and a lifting plate on the front, and a pair of lovely grabbing arms at the sides. It's pretty much Splinter gone on steroids, go figure. The idea is to grab an opponent in the grabbing arms, fire the axe, and then left the opponent up to push it to wherever it wants. However, none of these weapons can REALLY damage an opponent.

Roboteers, Stand by...

There's AJ and Jack at the controls of Wedga Triton and Iron Awe in the first control booth, and a very focused Liam Eliot on the controls of Volde in the other booth... and your house robots for this battle will be Sgt. Bash with the pincers and the flambe action, and also the big daddy himself, King Arthur, opening up its maw with a loud mechanical roar.

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

Bang a gong, we are on, and all the robots just gunning for each other like maniacs. We saw Volde already being flipped over by Wedga, but it easily rights itself, and Volde is now attacking Iron Awe, and clamping and lifting it up! It carries Iron Awe towards the arena saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly as Iron Awe's armour comes into contact with the razor sharp saw blades! Iron Awe is up and running in no time, as it scurries away from Volde and goes for the side! Iron Awe flips Volde over on its back, and carries it to the wall!
FLIP!!!
The flip sends Volde flying indeed, but not out of it just yet! Volde self-rights and guns for Wedga. Now, it gets underneath Wedga's side somehow, and clamps it hard using all three weapons! Wedga is being carried over to the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly again and all three bots showing good aggression early on here. Wedga gets under Volde's side, and slams it into the CPZ of Sgt. Bash! Volde is now in trouble, as Sgt. Bash is going to make it pay for invading its personal space! Sgt. Bash clamps Volde's side, and a flick of flame comes out from its flamethrower and Volde gets roasted! Sgt. Bash releases Volde, and it gets away now. Volde trying to put up a good fight here, as it clamps the rear of Iron Awe, and lifts it! Iron Awe tries to get away but it's carried toward the CPZ of Sgt Bash who is ready with its pincers! Wedga plays the brave fool, and crashes into Volde to save Iron Awe!
FLIP!!!
That sends both Iron Awe and Volde onto their backs, and both of them self-rights! Iron Awe presses the pit button, and the pit goes down with a deafening siren. Wedga flips Volde, but it self rights immediately. Now, Volde is away, and it slams into Wedga! Now it clamps the 16th seeds and drags it towards the pit... but Wedga refuses to take no for an answer and gets away! Wedga flips over Volde but again, it self rights immediately. Good defense there by Volde, and now in comes Iron Awe, flipping over the Welsh machine!
FLIP!!!
Iron Awe just tosses Volde high up in the air, and Volde comes down with a huge crash! I must say, that was a huge flip, and Volde is okay, nothing is severely damaged. Wedga now tries to get under the side of Volde, and it gets away, turns and gets underneath the 16th seed's side! Now, it feeds the machine from Shropshire right into King Arthur's flywheel!
CRASH!!!
OH, that hit is MONUMENTAL, as it just tossed Wedga onto its back with massive force! Wedga is still up and running, as it self rights. Now, the Shropshire machine is unscathed and now, AJ looks as if he's had enough of this! Wedga and finally gets undeneath the side of Volde! The Welsh machine is now in real trouble here, as it gets carried towards the wall, and VOLDE IS OUT OF THERE! A fantastic job done by Wedga-- uh oh, it's not done yet! Now Wedga is taking on the house robots, and zooms into the CPZ of Sgt. Bash!
FLIP!!!
Sgt. Bash is on its back and Refbot gives Wedga a yellow card! AJ does not like that one bit, and he drives Wedga into the Refbot and chucks it into the pit! Jack and Liam are dying with laughter! Ah man, now I've seen everything!

CEASE!

Volde (and the Refbot :proud:) has been vanquished.
Wedga Triton (16) and Iron Awe goes through to Round 2!

----------------------------------------
Sam: Welcome to the second battle, where three robots enter the war zone. They can run, but they can't hide!

(BATTLE 2!!!)

From Pontefract in Yorkshire, Eye of Ran 2!

Eye of Ran is a new machine but none less dangerous at all! This robot has a very deadly 30kg, 2500RPM spinning blade, and also has a very good traction along the arena floor due to the wide wheels. However, Joey is known for his weird weaknesses. His weakness this time around is... Spacesavers? :proud: However, the real weakness is the fact that there's petrol on board the machine, even though it's got protection.

From Bedford, Roo of all Evil!

Roo of all Evil is another newbie to the warzone, and it has a spinning ring powered by a S28-400, made of 8mm titanium and spinning at 1470RPM. This spinner can put out 57kJ, which is much more than enough to rip panels off and send robots spinning away. It also has 9mm titanium armour which is not very bad at all, but exposed wheels are the issues as with all invertible robots... but again, you got to get past the ring first! :shock:

From Redditch in Worcestershire, Pussycat!

This ain't your average cat! :proud: The former runner-up of Robot Wars is back as ever, with a double bladed saw on the front. It never has to worry about self-righting because it's invertible and it always lands on its feet. However, the wheels are highly vulnerable to get ripped off, and there ARE two spinners in this fight already...

Roboteers, Stand By...

Joey McConnell is in the first booth at the controls of Eye of Ran along with Matt Fowler who drives Roo of all Evil, and Pussycat is being driven by Steve McGregor in the second booth. As for the house robots, Shunt is in the arena, dancing in circles and sporting that lovely axe. Also in the arena is Head Smash, with its amazing hammer!

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

Refbot is hoping not to humiliate himself like he did in the previous battle. He gives the green light, and off we go! Both robots already spinning up its weapons, and all you hear in the arena is the revving of the weapon motor! They're going for it now! With perfect synchronization, Roo of all Evil and Pussycat are gunning for each other, weapon first!
CRASH!!!!!!
OMG! That hit is MONUMENTAL! It's only the first hit, and massive amounts of sparks are being spewed out from the impact-- OH! I think something flew off from Pussycat and I think it was the weapon! Let's have a look at it again. After the bots went CRASHING into each other, THERE you can see the blade flying off from the machine! The former grand finallist of Robot Wars is weaponless already after A SINGLE HIT! Oh dear. Now, Eye of Ran stayed out of trouble, but now it just crashes into the catbot with massive force. Pussycat tries getting away... too late.
CRASH!!!
The attack spins Pussycat away to Head Smash's CPZ, as well as ripping a wheel off! This does not look good at all for the catbot here. It's only thirty seconds into the fight, and it's already being turned into a repeat of Sylvester being beaten up by a pack of dogs in Looney Tunes, to be honest. :lame: Head Smash's hammer tries to slam Pussycat, but hits nothing but the floor! Pussycat gets away after a close call, but Roo of all Evil barges in and tackles Pussycat's side!
CRASH!!!!
What a hit, and there goes another wheel! It also sends the former Robot Wars runner-up spinning across the arena and crashing into the wall, and the two spinners are just ganging up like a pack of dogs against poor Pussycat! It's got two wheels on its wagon and nowhere to go but in circles, and Eye of Ran spins up! Eye of Ran now slams into the side of Pussycat...
CRASH!!!!
Sparks fly, and there's another wheel gone off of Pussycat... oh my goodness. It's getting almost too gruesome to watch here, and now, in comes Eye of Ran again, spinning its bar up to full speed!
CRASH!!!!
OH MY GOD! Sparks are flying and the armour has a deep gash in it due to Eye of Ran's vicious attack. Pussycat is going nowhere fast, and Roo now comes in for a frontal attack on the machine from Redditch!
CRASH!!!
Crushed. That's all I can say. Roo just knocks Pussycat away into the CPZ of Matilda, which is just about to slam into it with her pink arse!
CRASH!
Yup, and there goes the last wheel, smacked away by Matilda, and out of the arena it goes, right into the camera. Ugh. :angry: Right, so Pussycat has been toyed with long enough, and looks like Refbot is just about to count it out. Oh dear...
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Pussycat is out of there, and smoke is starting to come out of the machine. All the house robots are coming out of their CPZ, and they toy with it some more. Now, Head Smash fires the hammer on Pussycat, and makes a HUGE dent in the armour! Now, Shunt fires his mighty axe on Pussycat, and drags the catbot... onto the DROP ZONE?! Oh how cruel! That is just asking for more destruction; house robots, please have MERCY on the fellow roboteers! Well, I tell you, Pussycat has been so good on Robot Wars, reaching the grand final in the 4th series, but now, a deep freezer is about to go tumbling down on it! The audience starts the countdown; Joey and Matt join in!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... CRASH!!!!!
The deep freezer just crashes down upon Pussycat, and now Eye of Ran shoves Pussycat's remains onto the pit and Roo of all Evil presses the pit button... and Pussycat slowly... goes... down. BOOM! Pussycat is out of there, but Eye of Ran spins up again! The blade slams into Shunt's side! Shunt tries to get away, but...
CRASH!!!


CEASE!

As Tweety would say: I tawt I taw a Pussycat go down the pit. :proud:
Eye of Ran 2 and Roo of all Evil go through to Round 2!!!

Round 2 Lineups
Eye of Ran 2 VS Iron Awe 6
Wedga Triton (16) VS Roo of all Evil

Looks like a good heat for predictions. :)

Eye of Ran II vs. Iron Awe 6

Iron Awe 6 has tough armour but we've seen its unreliability. That'll come to hurt it after a few blows from Ij of Ran...I mean Eye of Ran. Joey ftw

Wedga Triton (16) vs. Roo of all Evil

Judging by the pic, those teeth don't look like they will hit Wedga with much force at all, despite the 57kJ factor. I'll go with Wedga for the OOTA.

Tactics: Use the rear wedge to protect myself when spinning up, then turn around, go for the sides or rear, and apply Newton's, Hooke's, Boyle's, Sod's, and a few other people's laws. :P

Note that Matilda was in the other battle just for fun. :P
* * * * * * *

Justine: All right, Joey! You are up against Jack and the Winter Tour champion of 2008, Iron Awe 6!
Joey: Yeah, that€™s a great draw for me. I€™ll make short work of it.
Justine: €¦ and how are you going to do that?
Joey: What I€™m going to do is very simple. My robot go straight in with the wedge, and then just turn around and chop his robot€™s wheels off with the spinner. Oh and just out of curiosity, how€™s Shunt?
Justine: He€™s recovering. :proud:
Joey: Oh, that€™s good. I hope he€™ll be all right. :proud:
Justine: You do not! :proud:
Joey: Hahahaha! Okay, you got me. I don€™t really want him to be fine. :proud:
Justine: Hahahaha! All right then, good luck.
Joey: Ta.

Justine: Right, Jack! The draw has been drawn and you are up against Eye of Ran!
Jack: Seriously, last time I had to fight GBOD, for crying out loud. Now it€™s Eye of Ran. :lame:
Justine: I assume you are worried?
Jack: Yeah, because if you look at it, Iron Awe has a high-ground clearance on the back, so these undercutters might chop its wheels right off.
Justine: Well, actually, Joey said he would do just that.
Jack: Oh he did, did he? Well, he€™ll have to deal with my flipper! :proud:
Justine: Haha. Well, good luck out there.
Jack: €¦ because I€™ll need it. :proud:
Justine: Hahahaha!


Sam: Hey, if you thought that was gruesome enough, then you haven€™t seen anything yet! Let€™s go ballistic for THE HEAT SEMI-FINALS!!!

(BATTLE 3!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome€¦

EYE OF RAN!!!

IRON AWE!!!

Roboteers, Stand By€¦

Joey is in the first booth at the controls of Eye of Ran, and also Jack is in the arena€™s other control booth with the controls of Iron Awe. The two house robots in this fight will be Mindbender with the spinning hammerheads of doom, and also Mr. Psycho with the giant battle sledgehammer and grabbing hands that can grab the robots with the force of a jackhammer.

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦

*COMMERCIAL BREAK!!!* :proud: :proud: :proud:

BATTLE COMING SOON

How soon? :uhoh:
