Sure, MORDll team up with you, Kody.
From what I remember, Storm 2 doesnt run flush to the floor. I should be able to get the scoop under easily, and push/flip him around all day with the main objective being to pit him.
PsycloniZer to win the other fight.
Awesome start to the torunie Liam:)

#SMASH!!
Agro 3.5 is first to get going, quickly running across the arena and using the hinged plate at the front of the robot to breach the ground clearance of PsycloniZer, ramming Andy into the spike strip before the ring has even had a chance to get up to speed! Richard guns the motors and pins the champion there for a few moments before turning around underneath PsycloniZer and pushing Andy across the arena and depositing him into the CPZ with Scream! The flipper fires and the terrible, blood curdling yell fills the arena as Psy is launched up into the air and comes crashing down back onto the arena floor, quickly gunning those mags in the drive to get away from Scream and avoiding a box-rush attempt from Agro 3.5, now spinning up the ring using that LEM-200 and lining up for an attack even as Agro comes in, but Andy dodges around the wedge of Richard€™s robot and slams into its side, breaking one of the hinges on the front plate! Agro 3.5 is sent spinning away as PsycloniZer is thrown backwards a bit by the force of its own hit, but now Richard is having mobility problems as the hinged plate drags on the floor next to his wedge-shaped machine, and Agro finds it difficult now to try and attempt an attack with its own spinning weapon, the vertical spinning disc on the back styled on X-Terminator€™s from series 7, one of Richard€™s 2 realie entries to this season€™s competition. And by the time Richard has lined up for an attack on PsycloniZer Andy€™s ring is already spinning at top speed and the two wheel drive runs PsycloniZer towards Agro 3.5 and slams into Agro€™s own disc, knocking a chunk out of the titanium! Agro may be weaponless now, but the 4mm hardox armour is standing up well thus far. PsycloniZer reverses away for another attack and Richard turns to try and follow, but once again Andy has the ring at maximum speed and potency and runs in on a full power attack, slamming into Agro 3.5 and sending it spinning away across the arena and onto the flame pit! The flames themselves don€™t seem to do anything to Agro, but as the camera zooms in we see that a fatal blow has been dealt- the removable link on Agro 3.5 has been knocked clean out of the robot by the flying hit from the number #1 seed and now the wedge shaped robot with hinged wedge and vertical flywheel is out of the competition! Refbot senses that the match is over too and moves in to count Agro 3.5 down and out of its first ever Robot SMASH!! .
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Scream comes into play now and wedges Agro, pushing Richard up against the spike trip and firing the flipper to send the defeated machine up and over the low 45cm barrier to come crashing down on the camera tracks and out of the competition!
CEASE!
Agro 3.5 is aggravated beyond belief; PsycloniZer (1) goes through to the heat final!
*Fearne walks up to Richard in the pits*
Fearne: Are you disappointed to be out?
Richard: Obviously I had hoped to make it a little further, as anyone would but if you have to pick a robot to go out to it has to be the best machine here, and the number #1 seed is just that right now!
Fearne: And you did put up a pretty good fight too.
Richard: Not bad, I got one good attack in with the wedge at the beginning of the fight, but when the wedge was damaged I had effective weapons and when the disc went I had no weapons at all!
Fearne: Will Agro 3.5 be back next season, or maybe even Agro 4.0?
Richard: We€™ll have to wait and see.
Fearne: Thanks for competing.

#SMASH!!
ISDSFA is straight off the mark, heading out of the red corner and straight across the Robotagon at Paul, who knowing that Storm II (unlike ISDSFA) doesn€™t have a front ground clearance of 0 tries to swerve and avoid the seed to attack the sides, but fails as Frank sees the move coming and turns to meet Storm II head on as it swerves, scooping the series 1 finalist up and ramming Paul across the arena, delivering him to the spike strip to the left of the CPZ! Surlygig quietly spins up in anticipation and Frank turns, flipping Storm II with the linear actuators that power the scoop and hitting Paul with the front mounted flywheel, bouncing him into Surlygig€™s spinning shell! CRASH! Storm II€™s front left panel is knocked flying across the arena as is Storm II itself, which bounces away and lands on the flame pit, where it is followed by ISDSFA who immediately scoops the realie back up and pushes it across the arena once more, flipping Storm II back the right way up, but striking it with the 8Kj capable flywheel behind the scoop and turning it back over again. Paul activates the srimech for the first time and so tries to ram ISDSFA and succeeds in getting under the side, pushing the seed across the arena at a breakneck pace and slamming it into the spike strip! CRASH! The two robots are severely knocked by the impact, but surprisingly ISDSFA comes off worse as it is knocked into the CPZ and receives a knock from Surlygig, knocking it away and into the pit release button! The chasm descends and both robots prepare for an attack on each other, the seeded robot making the first move and pushing in underneath the front of Storm II, ramming Paul across the arena and stacking the RW7 runner-up on the wall behind the blue corner, bringing the flywheel into play onto the tyres! Paul tries to use the srimech to escape, but ISDSFA pushes in and holds Storm II in there, ripping up the tyres on one side of Storm II€™s lynch motor drive! Paul is going to have trouble manoeuvring after that and we see that now as the 30 second pinning rule comes into play and ISDSFA is forced to reverse from Storm II, allowing Paul to use the self-righting arm and get back down into the arena, but the realie is limping rather badly now as it struggles to come back on the attack, and ISDSFA easily out-drives it€™s opponent, getting around to the back of Storm II and scooping Paul€™s machine up on the front electric lifting weapon in order to push the first realie to win a heat in Robot SMASH!! over to the pit, into which the black box wedge slides and disappears in a puff of smoke.
CEASE!
Storm II is blown out again; ISDSFA (17) goes through to the heat final!
*Holly walks up to Paul in the pits*
Holly: Are you very unhappy with how the match went?
Paul: Not extremely, but I knew I was in with a fighting chance and it was a shame to lose.
Holly: Sadly the plan you had in mind never got going?
Paul: Yes, the idea was to use the srimech to dump the seed in the pit but sadly he did it to me!
Holly: The srimech did come in handy though didn€™t it?
Paul: Yes, there was one point when I was stacked on the wall and used it to get down.
Holly: Thanks for competing.
The Heat A Final:
PsycloniZer (1) vs. ISDFSA (17)
JP: We€™ll be back...
Henry: Right after the break!
PsycloniZer vs. ISDSFA
As with the last match, ISDSFA isnt my ideal opponent but I still think it is possible to go through. First of all, target the skirts. Either try to damage them or rip them clean off. The 3.5mm Hardox should be breakable so that will be the next target. 5mm Hardox might not be as easy, which is where I have to rely on shock damage or attempting to pull the whole panels off. Ripping the whole bucket off would be nice. :wink:
Plan is to ram smack bang into PsycloniZer and use the scoop to bully it around the arena, similar to Behemoth vs Hypnodisc. As before the main aim is to feed it to house robots to soften it up, then pit it.
The main reason I dont think PsycloniZer can cope with a good box rushing are those massive arms holding the hammers. Because theyre so long, the main robot only needs to tilt a little bit before the hammer smacks into the floor sending PsycloniZer crazy and basically making it hard to control, and thus easy to keep on and keep stalled.
Two more brilliant fights, Liam - I thought I might manage it at the beginning there, but oh well, its no bad thing to get comforting words from Fearne Cotton.
GREAT FIGHTS LIAM!! Only one tiny flaw - I didnt believe I had a fighting chance AT ALL in this heat :proud: Ah well. 1 down, 7 to go.
Im not sure wholl win the heat final, but ISDSFA is a spinner-killer with its thick scoop...Ill still go for the champ
ISDSFA is pushy, bossy, the whole nine yards...but I think Psy will still win through damage.
I had actually written the hat final, but then accidentally deleted it :sad:/:lol: Will rewrite it soon
