I was just introducing a well-known robot to the crowd. In Series Five of Robot Wars, Philippa, before the fights, would walk through the pits and introduce the veteran robots in the heat

Its kinda weird when the robot is not in the same weight class, though.
Yes, Kody
Welcome back. Last time, Tidal Wave got calmed by Little Flipper 3. Now, for the Middleweights
From England, Blizzard MW!
Alex has entered this bizzare walking robot. Instead of legs, Blizzard uses screws, shaped in a such a way the robot can move in any direction. Its not easy to grab hold of, but what damage can it really do? Well see.
From Lancashire, Doom!
Entered by Joey McC and David Smith, Doom is an upside down wheelbarrow reinforced with a lunchbox. It can ram opponents with its front scoop, but is made from very weak armour.
Roboteers, stand by!
3-2-1: Activate!
Blizzard is intriguing, to say the least. Doom tries to push from the side, but look at that, though. Blizzard can move sideways as well! Doom decides to cut it off and charges at the front! But Blizzard, with those screws, can do sideways as well! Doom pursues it, but Alex drives forward at the last moment and pushes Doom with immense force into the wall! The front spikes have embedded themselves into Dooms front, and now Alex can do what he likes with them! Steering them towards the flame pit! We know the lunchbox in Doom that houses the electronics isnt going to last long! Joey tries to pull Blizzard over with it, but Blizzard is too strong! But whats this? Doom has gotten free and slams backwards into the pit release button. It charges back at Blizzard, but gets ambushed from the side! Towards the pit! Joey needs to get away from there! Doom JUST gets away! Blizzard turns to chase after it, but gets slammed again by Doom! Big mistake! The spikes have gotten stuck in Doom again. The drills seem to be doing little damage, but Blizzard makes up for that with 17mph top speeds! RAMMING Doom into the wall again! Refbot looks on. Is Doom immobolised? So far, Blizzard is on top. Joey looks uncertain about Dooms future in FRFFT though! The Refbot knocks the two apart! Something has come off Blizzards front there! Was it one of the spikes? I dont know. Doom slowly, yes, slowly trying to make its escape, but Blizzard pushes from behind and towards the pit...theres no escape this time! Down it goes! What a shame, but Blizzard was truly on top there!
Cease!
Doom in the pit.
Blizzard breezes into the next round!
Now to go behind the scenes. After looking at the damage to Doom, Joey found one of Blizzards ramming/drilling spikes in the armour. This is what the judges scordcards looked like
Blizzard: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10
Doom: S: 1 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 6
Next time, the heavyweights go head to head for the first time in the series!
Later, all
ELLIOT! Alex asked you to wait for the new stats! It doesnt matter if he won or not, you should at least be courteous to wait for some updates as per what he said earlier:quote:
They will be versions of Sith, MW Blizzard and Red Knight are the three otherweights - but their weights are probably wrogn atm so thats why they need updating before they can pbe properly entered.That, or at least ask Alex if its okay to use the earlier version. :P
May I point out that while I had no particular plans to update them, Im pretty sure than blizzard is overweight unless you are giving it a weight bonus.
All my otherweights were originally designed for some tournament with non-standard weighting categories which is why they needed updating. If of course you dont mind their current weights then feel free to continue, but its probably unfair on everyone else to do so.
Alex, since Blizzard qualifies as a walker, I will accept the 69kg weight limit. Their weights are OK, according to me
Kody, I do apologise, once again. Should I wait for Samuel and Will to post their tactics since theyre fighting in the next battle?
Blizzard is a walker??? Now Ive seen everything. :P
I dont know what it is. A screwbot, stompbot and shuffler count as walking robots to me. If they dont to you, Im sorry.
I dont seem to be good at this as I was the first time.
You said that after Ripper beat Tempest in CC1 :P
I think you can write the battle before getting tactics if youre desperate...check that Sams and Mattys bots are the ones they entered this time though :proud:
For the next battle, Samuel has 2nd Revenge of Black Death and Matty had BIACS-IS
So, I can still write it, Joey?
