Black Panther vs Robo-Hedgehog
TACTICS OF A WOOTY NATURE AS BEFITS A WOOTY TOURNAMENT:
STAT vs. Reventon
Firstly, his blade wont be able to do much to me, seeing as it appears to be on a straight 1:1 reduction from the motor if the speed given (6000rpm) is anything to go by, so I think torque for damaging anything will be limited and my foam rubber tyres are rather safe...basically, just get in there with speed, power, power, power, power, and speed, ram it around, be all over it like an overexcited puppy and never let it get time to recover, possibly sticking the spike in through any gaps or the slot in front for the blade. The ground clearance I have should minimalise the chances of him being able to push me around since the wheels should still have traction, so go all out until I get the chance to get it down the pit, at which point I aim to get it in as quickly as possible while also being controlled enough in my movements to avoid falling down myself.
NIDHOGG vs. The May Tracks Has You
Get in at the side, lift, crush, pit button, pit, avoid flipper and arena walls.
Good luck people :)
TACTICS AND UBER-PREDICTIONS:
(Winners in Italics, my robots in Bold)
Flaming Hell vs SOR X
Robo-Owl vs Squish Reincarnated
Psyclonizer vs Under Pressure
Walk Dont Run 3 and a Half vs Wedge Devolution
Reventon vs STAT
Eurypterus Evolved vs The 6isc
Achilles vs Leprosy Infection
Exodus vs Holepunch
Flipping Hell vs Wedginator Devilution

Nidhogg vs The May Tracks Has You
Back To Rock 3 vs Flank Attack 2
Inferno vs Sacrifice
Axe-O-Lotl vs System Shock 4.0
Eternia vs Nitrogene 5.0
Black Panther vs Robo-Hedgehog
Robo-Owl vs Squish Reincarnated: Attack Robo-Owl at the sides and aim to get it onto the wedge. Crush down and hope to disable one half of the tracks, or drag the machine towards the pit. Avoid the blade and mainly focus on attacking the tracks.
Inferno vs Sacrifice: According to the stats, Inferno is using two small (compared to some) drive motors that draw a lot of amps, meaning that it produces a lot of heat. Also, it seems that Inferno is protected inside by flammable foam. Personally I think Inferno is quite an apt name for Pauls machine. Burn, Robot, Buuuurrrn! :proud:
Squish Reincarnated vs Robo-Owl: Get round the back and sides, maybe try to rip the srimech off, shred the armour, use the arena disc or pit
Black Panther vs Robo-Hedgehog: Use the scoop setup, manouvre round the back, push into the hazards and CPZs, while hammering, pitting will be my main tactic

Reventon: BOX RUSH TO THE MAX AND NEVER ALLOW A CHANCE TO ATTACK!
Walk Dont Run: SHOCK KILL Wedge Devolution to death and pit it ASAP. AVOID THE FRONT LIKE MAD, and just NEVER ALLOW A CHANCE TO ATTACK!
Richie is back indeed! :proud:
Flaming Hell vs Son of Ripper X
I think SoR can get this one easily. Flaming Hell to meet the bottom of the pit.
Robo-Owl vs Squish Reincarnated
Squish to do what it does best: squish. :proud: One more pitting to notch up for Mr. Stickler please!
PsycloniZer vs Under Pressure
Not AJs ideal opponent. Under Pressure to pit Psy after taking a little damage.
Walk Dont Run 3 and a Half vs Wedge Devolution
Wedge to flip WDR all over the place and eventually into the pit. :proud:
Reventon vs STAT
Hey, a match STAT can win! And will win, by a mile. :proud:
Eurypterus Evolved vs The 6isc
Bad match-up for Frank. Eurypterus to pit the damn thing.
Achilles vs Leprosy Infection
I seem to recall these two met before...Ill say Leprosy Infection for the hell of it.
Exodus vs Holepunch
Depends what set-up Liam uses.
Flipping Hell vs Wedginator Devilution
w00t, a Weston battle. :proud: Anyway there are no OOTAs so I should be moderately safe from his weapon, although I will do my best to avoid it. Basically wedge it and pit it, my weapon will be my srimech if I get flipped over. Hopefully I have more flips than he does. Only use the flipper offensively if Ive got him on my wedge and near the pit. Good luck Dave. :)
Spin Dash Unleashed vs Troubloon 6
Oh dear, not an opponent I wanted to face...basically attack then do the spinny thing and attack the sides/rear with my rear disc, then again with my front disc, and so on and so forth. Ill be more manoeuvrable so that helps, best o luck Stevey-boy. :)
Nidhogg vs The May Tracks Has You
Rack up a pitting for Mr. McConnell!
Back To Rock 3 vs Flank Attack 2
Flank Attack...just.
Inferno vs Sacrifice
I love the smell of burning robot in the morning. :proud: Daniel through.
Axe-O-Lotl vs System Shock 4.0
Axe-O-Lotl to kill the tracks/wheels/whatever moves System Shock. Yes, I know its invertible but I forgot what moves it. Shut up. :P
Eternia vs Nitro-Gene 5.0
Meh, I actually think Paul will win this one. It IS the only Nitro-Gene thats in weight, anyway. :proud:
Black Panther vs Robo-Hedgehog
One more pitting by Alex Holt to end the round.
Looks to be a killer, Rich! :)
Tactics and predictions when appropriate:)
Assuming this is done 2 fights at a time, then SOR X and Squish to move on.
Psyclonizer vs Under Pressure
Haha I can try out my horizontal crusher against a FBS. His 90 cm fits nicely within my 150 cm wideness, lol. A hit within my claws will make his weapon scrape against my 3,5 mm Hardox and slow it down, using my claws will give me the possibility to pit it :).
Back To Rock 3 vs Flank Attack 2
Dont let him scoop me, lol. As long as my wheels remain grounded I still have the 6WD combined with the LEMs, which should anable me to push it to hell and back. The saw and the lifter should help me damaging its wheels. Pit ASAP.
«Flaming Hell vs. SOR X»
Im going to drive straight in with my front wedge. This is a powerful spinner but I think my 6mm Hardox wedge can take it. That should slow the cage down and allow me to get a good attack in. From there Ill go in with the wedge again and flip Flaming Hell over. Im not sure, but I dont think it can self right. If it can then Ill just try to repeat those tactics as much as possible. Another option is to try and damage the cage itself with my own spinner.
«PsycloniZer vs. Under Pressure»
This is going to have to be a case of hit and run. Under Pressure is a very big target to hit, so quite simply Ill spin up and try to get as many hits in on the body as possible. There is plenty to hit. The armour isnt the thickest either so causing some damage is quite possible. If I can get around the back I could potentially cause some damage to the ram and other internals through shock damage. Ive just got to keep to the sides and rear.
For the other battles Ill go for Squish, Wedge Devo, STAT, The 6isc, Achilles, Holepunch, Wedginator, Troubloon, Nidhogg, Back to Rock, Sacrifice, System Shock, Nitro-Gene and Black Panther to all go through.
