And our final quarter final fight is between Twist Of Fate, Solstice 2.0 and Xianghua II, and Opened By Transfer.
Now, Dave sent his tactics for this fight in by carrier pigeon, but unfortunately I shot it repeatedly as it came in to land, and the tactics were too blood spattered for me to read. Not that it matters all that much, but anyway...
ROBOTEERS, STAND BY
Booth 1: The person who took over Frank Goachers driving duties after he was sucked into the void, Dave Sheppard
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

Kodys robots immediately set off for the arena wall, as their mission is to attack the House Robots, which are secretly holding a meeting in a field in Norfolk where they plan to exterminate the population, and Solstice spins up and goes for the arena wall...
CRASH! A large section is torn clear of the barrier, and first Xianghua and then the spinning down Solstice quickly exit the arena. Unfortunately, being robots with low ground clearances, they immediately drive over an extension cord for the cameramans coffee machine, and as a result get beached, although it doesnt matter since the house robots, being robots, will lose their batteries before they make it as far as Lowestoft, never mind London, and so the world is safe.
Meanwhile, Twist OF Fate appears to be having difficulty spinning up its weapon, and Opened By Transfer comes in to investigate. However, as the two robots make contact with each other, a huge plot hole comes out of Twist Of Fate and swallows both robots up.
CEASE
The judges have a very difficult decision to make here behind their desks, and the roboteers are called to the podium to allow them time to choose. After a long period of deliberation and soul searching, the panel of judges decide, based on style, control, damage, and aggression, that they will watch Eastenders, but set the VCR to record Emmerdale as a compromise.
One of the camera crew than asks about the fight, and has to remind the judges who was in it. Noel Sharkey then decides that Opened By Transfer is the winner, based solely on the fact he liked the name better.
Opened By Transfer goes through to the semi finals!

Tactics and predictions, if you would be so kind?
Prediction: me to win by some involvement of a plot twist. :proud::proud::proud:
Yay!
Are those your tactics, Dave? :P
First job is to try and locate Opened by Transfer from wherever it ended up after the last fight :proud:
Any idea where that not-quite Russian size plot-hole led?
Ive talked with my sources, and they say it led to...*checks Google*...57 Maple Street, Prysyr Fllllemllylllylyl, Glamorganshire. Apparently the exit is in the downstairs bathroom.
Lemme guess...the LADIES bathroom. :mrgreen:

ACTI-
Stop!
This, loyal readers, is where you come in. This is the chance for you to shine, to share in the glory of this tournament, and also a chance for me to get a cheap laugh without going to the trouble of actually writing a fight myself.
You shall each write your interpretation the rest of this fight, with one of the two machines that started the fight winning, and tomorrow I shall pick the one that made me laugh most (as measured on a scientific scale known as the Cokesquirtnostrilsometer) and that shall be considered as the canon end to the fight, with the person who wrote it recieving a mansion in the next life next door to Shane Swans. It doesnt have to be necessarily long, just random and funny.
So, my friends, get writing! :proud:
