The word jinxed springs to mind over the state of the Belt. :proud:
Shooper stuff as ever, Richie!
Prediction:
Powerpoint to smash apart the hog.
High GCd realie, with thin armour and vulnerable sides. I think Ill be trying to slide underneath the high ground clearanced sides and smashing :wink:
After four battles, the Challenge Belt has hopped from one bot to another, and is now possessed by Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint. But will PRP lose it just as quickly when it meets Hassocks Hog 2?
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Hassocks Hog 2 charged down Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint, intent on reaching it before the bar spun up, but failed! The flipper fruitlessly went over the skirts, and right into the bar! HH2 was spun away, an ugly tear in its front! As PRP advanced, HH2 ran for it, before coming back in to try and flip it from under the bar! When the damaged flipper came in underneath, it successfully tipped PRP but not much, and PRP was not destablised! Away went HH2 again, shards flying off it, its flipper torn deeper and now useless! PRP attacked, but the faster HH2 ran away, dancing around it before going for the pit release! It went around PRP, just missing the spinning bar, and went closer to the pit, but PRP would not be tempted in! After the pit had closed, HH2 began lingering around the wall, hoping to ram PRP against it! There was a bit of dancing around, until the two robots finally collided! HH2 came off worse, with a ripped side panel! It charged at PRP, in an attempt to send it into the wall, but PRP ran right into the flipper, and struck hard without being sent into the wall! Its flipper bent and another panel damaged, HH2 had lost control on one side, and was helpless to do anything but turn in a circle! PRP gleefully struck again, on the already damaged side panel, damaging it even more and causing fatal damage! The motionless Hassocks Hog 2 was counted out - the pig had been well and truly slaughtered, and a celebratory ham could be in order for Matty!
CEASE!
POWERPOINT REACHES PRESSUREPOINT DEFENDS THE BELT!
Next Challenge Belt Battle:
Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint (Holder) vs National Speed Limit Applies (Challenger)
Bar Spinner vs. Overhead guillotine, and I have the speed advantage in all my gears.
My main aim will be to Box-Rush it at the start, then fire the guillotine, the bar has an overhang, and the guillotine should hopefully slice off the end, meaning PRP has no weapon overwise it will start to shake.
Once the weapon has stopped, using my speed advanatage, get around the sides and cause a lot of damage with the guillotine by firing it at the top/skirts. Always use the vaccum to hold the robot down when firing, and if I can get underneath PRP, fire, hold, open pit, pit.
If PRP starts to attack, turn and get away to attack back, never go into 3rd gear, keep the speed about 15 mph for best control, so I can control the match.
Good luck Matty Boy
Rich, am I allowed to do the weirdest tactics ever and take my weapon off?
I dont see why not, Matty. Youd be able to do that in real life in necessary time and keep the robot operating, wouldnt you?
Yes.
In which case, I shall take the weapon off as the srimechs and the rets of the top panel should eb able to take a fair clubbing from the guillotine. From here we should be perfectly balance and so we can also afford to go into FBS mode. The skirts shoudlnt go up in the air while were doign this, so we are jsut going to be one large spinning wedge. If they hits us they should fly up, from where we can stop spinning and use the srimecha rms and sheer brute force to shove them down the pit.
So Matt is changing his weapon ...
... and so am I :proud:
I will use the twin axe heads and box-rush it, it shouldnt be going anywhere as fast enough to damage, and also the skirts will have loosen up. Get under, slam with axes again and again, and do the pit move.
Having won two fights, Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint must win a third one to keep the Belt forever, but National Speed Limit Applies wants that Belt for itself!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
National Speed Limit Applies boxrushed the now bladeless Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint, who began spinning on the spot! Contact was made and NSA brought the axe heads down - the vacuum being activated meant it wasnt deflected, so the axes came down in the centre of PRP, stopping it spinning! They remained in that position for a few moments, then NSA released and quickly came forward, shoving against the skirts, but ended up going over them! It still brought the axes down hard again, making two nasty dents in PRP - PRP shoved against it, but NSAs wheels were still on the floor and it shoved back! Eventually, NSA gained the upper hand and slowly shoved PRP back against the wall! It released the axes, and PRP quickly tried to run underneath, but NSA turned its vacuum on, and could not be moved as the axes fell upon PRP again! With the vacuum still on, it retracted and struck again, almost piercing the wounds it had just made! As the axes rose again, PRP chose to swerve away, taking itself into NSAs side! But the vacuum remained on, so it couldnt push!
This stalemate continued for a few seconds before NSA turned off its vacuum and reversed away before PRP could get fully under! This put it in the perfect position to use the axes again, and it did so, pinning PRP down! It began dragging PRP towards the pit release, but made slow progress with the resistance PRP put up! Eventually, it twisted around and got its back into the release, then began carrying PRP forwards towards the pit! But they moved too slowly, and the pit closed before they got there! NSA chose to retract its axes and reverse fast into the release, but PRP was already making its escape, and going into another full body spin! NSA charged, and hit, but turned the vacuum on a bit too late, so it settled down pointing away from PRP, and the axes fired into the arena floor, denting it! PRP eagerly ran into NSAs side and tried to shove, but was again thwarted by the vacuum! NSA turned off its vacuum to escape again, being tilted for a moment as PRP came underneath but still just escaping and making a gap between the two! PRP chose to spin on the spot again, and again NSA rushed into it! This time, it got the vacuum timing right and was able to stop and bring the axes down, stopping PRPs spinning and piercing the armour! It again began pulling towards the pit release, again meeting resistance, but eventually getting there! Now it tried to get under PRPs skirts again with its low scoop down, but still struggled to do so! After some pushing, PRP swerved to try and get under the side again, but NSA twisted in response and brought the axes into play again, just missing the full holes it had already made! This time, it turned PRP into the arena wall again, retracted the axes and shoved at the skirts from there! It was still a struggle, but finally, the low scoop surpassed the flat skirts and NSA was underneath PRP! The ride to the pit release, and the pit, was subsequently much quicker!
CEASE!
