Velociraptor's Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Here we are (finally) at the Annihilator Final! Tempest Evil-oution won the last Annihilator - can Psyclone, another spinner, do the same, or will Push-Ish outpush it?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Push-Ish immediately accelerated in Psyclones direction - Psyclone made a quick backwards move, and its shell got spinning fast enough to repel Push-Ish when it made contact! As Push-Ish almost hit the wall, Psyclone moved to attack, and was box-rushed again! The second impact smashed Push-Ish into the wall, and Psyclone hit it in the side as it ricocheted off! Psyclone didnt hit the wall, but realised it was too close and moved into the arena centre, as Push-Ish recovered and came steaming in again! There was another resonating impact that was again worse on Push-Ish, sending it away! Left facing away from Psyclone, it charged with its scooped rear immediately, hitting with a crash and being flung away again! Turning around to use its Hardox wedge, Push-Ish again attacked, but Psyclones high ground clearance didnt help when the teeth just smacked it away again! Rushing in again while Psyclone just moved around the arena centre, Push-Ish just went flying again with a dent in its wedge, thanks to Psyclones almost instant spin up time! Getting tired of this, Psyclone came towards Push-Ish as it prepared to charge again, and with a little twist as the wedge approached, hit it in a front corner! It followed Push-Ish as it flew off, so Push-Ish attempted to run around Psyclone and try ramming it into the wall from behind! But it didnt work - Psyclone moved towards the charging Push-Ish, not timing it right to hit the side but still smashing the front again!
When the two robots came together again, Psyclone did manage a well timed manouvre to hit Push-Ish along the side and fling it into the wall again! Psyclone aimed to strike Push-Ish as it bounced off, but just missed, and then had to move away from the wall so it didnt hit when Push-Ish box rushed it again! This caused Push-Ish to bounce off the wall again, and Psyclone was able to hit it in the side again and send it back in! Push-Ish tried attacking again with its rear, but Psyclone moved far away enough from the wall as it charged so Push-Ish changed direction and attacked with its Hardox wedge again, and again it failed to do much! As Push-Ish came in again, Psyclone again managed to turn and slash it in the side, making it fly and knock against the wall! Now facing Psyclone, Push-Ish rushed in again, but the shell was already spinning at full again and sent it skimming with a crack in the Hardox! Psyclone tried to turn again on Push-Ishs next attack, and hit the front corner again! On the next attempt, the two missed each other completely, but as Push-Ish manouvered around, Psyclone got in a blow on the side, causing more damage! The next contact between the two resulted in another front corner hit on Push-Ish from Psyclone!
Push-Ish just dodged as Psyclone attacked again, then rammed again with the wedge, but just damaged itself more! So it went for the pit release, moving quickly before Psyclone could corner it, but Psyclone didnt come close enough! When the pit closed with nobody in it, Push-Ish tried to shove Psyclone towards the zone, but it got struck in the side again! As it backed into position, Psyclone caught on and just moved further away, but that didnt stop Push-Ish trying! Unfortunately, when it rammed Psyclone again with its damaged wedge, it skimmed - and didnt move at all! Psyclone gradually moved closer, with Push-Ish remaining static for a few seconds - then suddenly, something fell back into place and it moved again, back towards the pit release! Psyclone went a bit closer but not close enough, so Push-Ish tried manouvering to get it closer. A bit of dancing and teasing didnt work, so it just box-rushed again, but this resulted in another fling into the west wall! Psyclone moved quickly as Push-Ish ricocheted off and hit it in the side, then moved after it - but it didnt need to, because after that final blow, the brave but battered Push-Ish was finally immobilised for good! With wafts of smoke emerging from the gaps in its opponents torn armour, Psyclone turned off its spinner and tried shoving it toward the pit for the coup de grace, pushing it into the release but struggling to move it to get it in the pit, so it had to press the release again. It dropped Push-Ish in the pit just before the rammer could be counted out!
CEASE!

PSYCLONE WINS THE VFT6 ANNIHILATOR!

Next time on VFT6, we try something new - the Football Tournament! Heres the lineups in case you forgot:
Biohazard & El Persistance (Matt Robinson) vs Little Sister & TIRTASM (Tom Brisbourne & Martyn)
Dervish V/ & Revenge Of Revenge Of The Bludgeonator (Daniel & Steven) vs In-terror-fied & Windiest Killer Just Got Windier (Matty)
WX 6.0 & Forcepower Turbo (AJ) vs Leprosy Infection & Mega Masher 2 (Chris Mason)
4 Wheel Steering & Seggy The Third (Dave Sheppard) vs X & I (Frank)

And here are the rules:
1) There are no fixed positions you must put your robots in - you can have a striker and a goalie, or two strikers, or whatever. It will work like Techno Games Football, or the one in NSBFL, with a goal for each team and one ball.
2) When a goal is scored, the match is paused and the ball is returned to the centre before carrying on. When times up, the team with the most goals goes through - if its tied, a golden goal will decide the match.
3) Robots can use their weapons on the ball, but not on each other - you can only shove another robot with the aim of possessing the ball or scoring a goal, not with intent to disable the other robot. Get too violent with opposing robots and you will get a yellow card, and if you do it again, a red one! Only the offending robot will be sent off - its teammate can stay on.
4) You are also allowed to make small modifications to combat robots you enter (eg: flaps) to help them play footie, but nothing major.

Ah, I need to make a few modifications and tactics.

LEPROSY INFECTION
Remove the drum, and add a horizontal C shape at the front to scoop up the ball. I think I stressed this in my stats.

MEGA MASHER 2
The disc needs to be removed.

MY TACTICS:
Leprosy Infection will be the striker. It has better speed/agility than its teammate. The C will sort of scoop up the ball, then I can take it where I want.

Mega Masher is the goalie. The trick here is that it will be in the goal SIDE ON. The trick is that its sheer bulk leaves only a small space to get the ball in. After all, it looks like Minion (the trick is that most of the robot is actually empty space. This allows it to be so big).

Great to have ye back, Richie!

FOOTBALL
ROUND 1
Dervish // & RotRotB VS In-terror-fied & Windiest Killer Just Got Windier

Im not sure wholl play what position, but what I do know is that RotRotB is the PERFECT shape for this type of contest :proud:. The SOB-style dustpan can easily keep control of the ball and with my speed and manoueverability, getting it in the other net hopefully wont be too much of a problem.

Of course, if Dan would prefer me in goal, nae danger. The scoop could be just as effective there :)

Wooo! Thanks Richard, and good fight Dave!

WX 6.0 & Forcepower Turbo (AJ) vs Leprosy Infection & Mega Masher 2 (Chris Mason)

I think I gave tactics before, but here are some new ones...

WX6.0: WX will be the goalkeeper, if possible Id like to use the normal scoop which should give a nice wide ball stopping approach. The idea is just too drive out at the opposing team when they come near the goal. The angle of the wedge should hopefully block the shot and hit it down field, possibly setting up a counter attack.

FPT: ForcePower will be the striker robot, could some flaps be fitted to either side of the wedge to form some sort of scoop please? The idea will be to use its speed, manouverability and power to charge down the pitch and smash the ball in the net. There will be no deliberate barging out of the way, just use the power advantage to win the ball and make sure that goalie cant stop it.

Biohazard & El Persistance (Matt Robinson) vs Little Sister & TIRTASM (Tom Brisbourne & Martyn)

Hummmm Matt Robinson has left and tom brisbourne hasnt done vapours for ages, anyway, tirtasm will use the scoop and go in goal and little sister will try and score.

Put some little flags on both machines, and attack attack the ball.

AJ, we have GOT to stop meeting each other.

Well the way I designed it, X is the striker and I is the goalie. It just wouldnt work any other way. X is a nippy lil thing, so I hope to be able to swerve around both machines and score with spring power:)

Your going to try to swerve around 4-Wheel-Steer, with a skid-steer machine?

Considering:

A) you havent really said how 4-Wheel-Steer moves (does it turn? translate? What?).

B) Havent said anything about it in laymans turns and instead use a shed-load of technospeak.

C) Dont even seem that confident it works if that comment in Weaknesses about Kustom is anything to go by and

D) its all to do with driving skill no matter what system you use, yes, thats exactly what I intend to try and do.
