To be honest, Jack, it is your fault that CrOoKeD EvO's flipper doesn't touch the ground... :proud:
But anyways, tactics are still the same. Flip CrOoKed EvO, shove it into Super Gore Septua, Flip OID into both Theseus and Traffic Warden, don't get destroyed, OOTAed, pitted, etc.
HEAT FINAL
From Edinburgh, in Scotland, seeded 1 and reigning champion, Typhoon II!
From Enschede, in the Netherlands, Liar II!
Roboteers, stand by!
B1: Typhoon II
B2: Liar II
House Robots: Growler and Matilda
3-2-1: Activate!
The first place in the grand final up for grabs. Typhoon II spins up as Liar II waits its moment. We've seen what Typhoon II can do earlier in the heat, so Liar II...OH! It came in for a flip but got spun away! One of the front spikes has been bent! Damage to Liar II, and they need to do something here. Typhoon II approaches. Liar II tries to get away but gets clipped on the side! A slight gash, but nothing else. It turns away, perhaps to get the flipper underneath. Typhoon II looks like a blur! It wasn't up to speed before, I felt, but here it is! Coming in again! OHH! Liar II knocked to one side and the spike comes off! That doesn't stop it though. It charges again and LOSES the other spike! The flipper rises, but lifts nothing! Typhoon II on top here. It comes in again, but Liar II backs away. Into the pit release button. Typhoon II closes in again and hits the wheel of Liar II! Liar II ALMOST in the pit from that impact but not! Typhoon II waits. Maybe one more hit will do it! Matilda looks on from the CPZ. Liar II turns one way, and then the other! Trying to bait Typhoon II into driving in the pit, but they won't fall for it! Liar II is stuck between the pit and Matilda, and I don't think they have full control! I think the tyre has jammed against the body and isn't moving! Liar II crippled out there, and Typhoon II is coming in to end it...OOH! Liar II spun towards the wall! On the corner of the CPZ, so Matilda can come in! The flywheel RIPS into the Hardox! Another great slice down the side of Liar II. Still moving, but not on the other side. Refbot comes in. Liar II is out, and they know it.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Typhoon II, the reigning champion is through to the grand final once again! Matilda comes in with her flywheel again. The OTHER WHEEL goes flying off of Liar II! Growler comes in and gets Liar II in his jaws. Towards the pit. Liar II goes in! What a victory for Typhoon II!
Cease!
Liar II in the pit.
Typhoon II goes through to the grand final! Can they do it again!?
I hope you liked the fight. Heat B up later :)
*goes WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!*
...
I don't think many people are taking material properties into account here. Try bending a Hardox axle to jam the tire...right.
Also those spikes are Hardox, a few hits couldn't even BEND them.
And this isn't even my bot I'm talking about. Liar 2 wasn't even given a second thought here.
Typhoon 2 is good, but not that good.
EDIT: What I do think is that, in this particular instance, Elliot is randomly selecting who goes through and then writing a scenario around it, trying to make it sound likely. That's not how vapourbots goes, Elliot.
And don't even have a go at me about the C&B series, I did things like Nick's Byte Size first for match percentages, then waited for tactics to see if the percentages would sway.
*end mini-rant*
Terribly sorry, Kody. It won't happen again
I'd like you to maximise the little sentance at the end of your rant please. I want to see what it says so there aren't any hard feelings between us :)
The only robot I ever built was made from an RC racing car and MDF. My uncle made one as well, which was an RC car with a toy shopping basket on it and several plastic spikes and drink bottle lids stuck to it
Mine is gone, I think my uncle's is as well
I'm not terribly good with metal armour. When I watch the real fights, I just base mine on what I see. Which now I know might make a blind bit of difference with what I write
Sorry for that
Just to point out, Elliot, In one of the first fights of VRW 1, even though it was crappy, Liar 2 still didn't suffer that much damage, and its opponent was much tougher then Typhoon 2...
Just to point out, Mark, with the greatest respect to you that I can muster, a fight written by you is not what I would consider to be an accurate indication of damage or weapon effectiveness...
Hence the reason why I said Even though it was crappy,.
