mark, you seem to be highly inteligent, and Im very dumb, please tell me...
1. How can a 5 mm titanium robot not be damaged by a powerful disc
2. Why dus 0 mm turning circle mean your sides are unreachable
and
3. WHEN you get under him the disc would hit you at the same time methinks, am I wrong?
1: There would be only light damage.
2: I did some research, and it doesnt.
3: No.
It depends how its mounted...it is entirely possible for a plate of 5mm titanium to just be ripped off by a moderate spinner, and that goes for Hardox as well. Not forgetting actual armour damage is usually less significant than shock damage, which isnt visible but will kill your robot...
AJWARS: ANOTHER ERA
ELIMINATORS
Aftershock VS E CLAWDIUS UNUM
Charge straight in. I believe I have the speed advantage here, so I should be able to stop the drum and get underneath before it can deal too much damage to me. Once the drum is stopped, bring down the beak and get a good grip on it. Open the pit and dump the bugger in. If I can penetrate the titanium shell, even better. If I can puncture the tyres at some point, even betterer.
There would be only light damage.
Tell that to Biohazard. He got mangled by Megabyte. :P
Oh dear€¦
«Just so you know, Cyrilium 2 is hard to beat, so technically, I shouldnt have suffered that damage.»
Mark, did the battle not reflect that Cyrillium 2 was hard to beat? Most robots would not last that long against Infusion, so you should be glad that you did. Why exactly should you not have been damaged? 5mm Titanium these days, even in reality, is considered pretty poor for armouring. In the vapourbot world, you€™re almost asking to be destroyed. I seem to recall Hypno-Disc sliced up Dominator II€™s 7mm Titanium once. Now put into perspective the power of Infusion vs. your 5mm Titanium€¦
«I wouldnt have let him get to my sides, cause I have a 0mm turning circle.»
Unless you have some sort of omni-drive, which you don€™t, your sides are fully reachable. Just because you say you wouldn€™t let him get to your sides, it doesn€™t mean that he wouldn€™t. 99% of robots have a 0mm turning circle, but that means nothing€¦ its driving skill, speed, drive set-up and so on which effect the driveability of your robot. Aaron could easily make a point that you shouldn€™t have got round Infusion€™s sides as that also has a 0mm turning circle.
«I also would have gotten under him before his powerful disc wouldve hit me.»
Yes, and you did several times€¦ what point are you trying to make here? Also, Infusion doesn€™t have a powerful disc, it has a spinning rim. Unfortunately there were very few places you could attack without being hit by it.
«Regardless, if theres a rematch, I know that you will write the fight very well.»
Thank you, but there will be no rematch as it stands. You have yet to make a legitimate reason for why there should be a rematch.
«Lets not forget Aaron did not give tactics.»
So what? I swear some of the newer members of the area have come from planet ARC. Tactics are not, and never will be as far as I am concerned, a requirement for a battle to be written. Your robots stats should be written in a way in which it is obvious what its intentions are. Tactics aren€™t needed. This isn€™t a role-play based game, it is based on stats. So what if Aaron didn€™t have a battle plan? Does that mean Infusion should just sit there and wait for you to push it into the pit?
Up until now I haven€™t criticised your actions over the past couple of months. But you are clearly beginning to annoy a lot of people, including myself. Just use a bit of common sense in future, please€¦ :)
AJ, Mark has done this after every fight Ive written thats included him. He just thinks hes going to win, and starts pouting like a baby when he loses

Typhoon 2 vs. Storm 2 springs to mind, the armour might be able to restand the pressure but the shock waves break the method the armour is held onto the chassis.
I think actually, if you watch that clip of the final, you can see that Typhoon DIDNT cause the damage - if you watch near the end, in the second-to-last CPZ Typhoon was pushed into, Matilda came and unfairly pushed Storm in and cause that damage to Storm and not Typhoon, presumably becuase those idiots at Mentorn didnt wish for a rammer to win two years in a row. I would find you proof, but there arent any videos of the fight anywhere for me to find.
The reason Cyrillium 2 got battered is because its crap. And Mark claims its hard to beat, and its had battles against No Objections, Nitro-Gene 4.0, Liar 2 and Infusion - and lost them all and every time claimed it was unfair that he lost and has complained - that he lost - fairly - against a better robot.
How about this Mark - make your robot better, and try to get a better rep (Itll be tough, but I managed it) and if you lose, check that the loss was unfair, THEN COMPLAIN. I know you havent made it easy for yourself, but Im really getting irritated for some of the rubbish you produce from outside and inside vapourbot tournuments.

For the record, I was actually thinking more Supernova/Mekaniac when I said that, but thats similar...and Paul, I dont think you were anywhere near as bad as Mark is back then, going by the posts :proud:
