From 72 to 1 Extreme Continued!

OK, since the old forum is shutting down, Ive decided to move ship here to the FRA Forum, we were last at the house robot rebellion, and here are the robots that are through to Round 2 so far

ROUND 2 ROBOTS
Bully
Tempest Evil-Oution
CFYU Re-Evolution
Growler

And the robots left to fight it out are
Dead Metal vs Leprosy vs Sgt. Bash vs TNC
Cassius Chrome vs Mr. Psycho vs Spinny Thing Recharged vs Whirligig 3.0

Battles start tomorrow, after my exams finish and my 6 day weekend begins! :)

Oh yeah, Ive forgotten to post tactics.

I believe, The Sarges wheels are pneumatic therefore I will puncture on of them with the crusher then retract the spikes and flip him over before he can pincer me! As for Dead Metal should he come near me, well get the crusher into his saw bit, so he cant slice me. Im a wuss so if Im getting destoyed and I dont stand a chance. Ill dive down the pit :-)

Leprosy isnt cocky, but I think I have a chance.

I will try to get Dead Metal side on. His pincers arent sharp enough to stop me spinning and I dont think he could hold me for too long. Failing that, I will try to disect Sgt Bashs wheels. Failing that, Ill destroy TNC.

Oi! Leave me alone!

Matty (Cheap ripoff of MY original name! :@), its ok to go after anyone you want in robot combat.

Anyways, its time to see Leprosy in the mix again, along with Matty (Cheap ripoff of MY original name! :@)s new machine TNC, and the houe robots with the freeness to explore the arena are Sgt. Bash, and Dead Metal.

The fight begins, and Leprosy goes after Dead Metal, Dead Metal traps the pincers and stops the spin on Leprosy and gets the saw into the armour of Leprosy. Sgt. Bash then manouvers to the side of TNC and crushes through the armour and then it uses the flamethrower three quick times! The flamethrower gets to the armour, and tries to melt it, Dead Metal then rams Leprosy into the pit release button, and Leprosy goes after Sgt. Bash, while Dead Metal attacks TNC, Leprosy attacks the wheel guard of Sgt. Bash and leaves the wheel vulnearable! Dead Metal then brings TNC over to the pit, and drops it down, thatll teach people not to blatently steel my name, Sgt. Bash then sees Leprosy going straight behind it, and Leprosy is trapped by both house robots, the flamethrower and the spinning saw both are used to attack Leprosy, and Leprosy tries to do something, as it is in this fight with a chance for once. :proud: However when they both let go, Leprosy then tries to get at the wheel of Sgt. Bash, and Leprosy misses as Bash manouvers away, and then Leprosy just misses recieving an attack from the Sarge again, Dead Metal though traps Leprosy, and drags the deadly machine toward the pit. Better luck next time Chris. :sad:
CEASE!

TNC is Total Nolified Chance and Leprosy has been cured by the pit.
DEAD METAL AND SGT. BASH ADVANCE TO ROUND 2!!!

Now fer my tactics:

Scotty suggested that he go for Mr P while I take on Mr Chrome...seems fair:proud:
As STR promply removes Mr Ps tracks, Whirly will concentrate on revving up the spinny shell and attack Mr Chrome from the sides. The armour should hopefully receive some good slices...and maybe, I can try ripping into the fists:proud:
If Mr Chrome is still standing after these blows, Ill simply ram the new HB into the wall again and again until ees out for the count:proud:

woot!

Its cos I nicked your name innit?!:-)

*Ignores*

Anyways, time to see the two Scottish Spinners of Doom :proud:, and two house robots to put to the test, today theyre Mr. Psycho and Cassius Chrome.

Immediately, Spinny Thing Recharged goes straight in after Mr. Psycho and knocks off the track easily with the spinner while the hammer hits Spinny Thing Recharged, but doesnt do much to shake up the armour or spinner of Spinny Thing Recharged. Whirligig 3.0 then charges into Cassius Chrome, and dammages it while it gets sent backwards straight up against the wall, and pins it while it waits for Spinny Thing Recharged to get into the action, but Refbot then forces it to seperate from Cassius Chrome who gets away from the machines and hits the pit relase button, Mr. Psycho has only 1 track moving, and isnt doing anything at all in that arena. :P Spinny Thing Recharged then hits the other track while Whirligig 3.0 gets at Cassius Chrome in the corner patrol zone, where a house robot is getting a taste of its own medicine. :proud: While thats happening, Mr. Psycho is counted out, but Refbot finds Mr. P too heavy to push down the pit. :sad: Spinny Thing Recharged is then charged into another corner by Cassius Chrome, where yet again it does nothing at all to it. :) Whirligig 3.0 then gets another side attack, while theres a big hole that Spinny Thing Recharged makes bigger at the front with an attack, and then the wheels are opened up and left vulnerable, but when it tries to manouver away, Whirligig 3.0 then hits the wheel of Cassius Chrome, but its still going well, it gets away easily from Spinny Thing Recharged, but the wheel thats not working causes the house robot to go straight down the pit. :proud:
CEASE!

Mr. Psychos gone Psycho and Cassius Chrome has been knocked out.
SPINNY THING RECHARGED AND WHIRLIGIG 3.0 ADVANCE TO ROUND 2!!!

Round 2
Bully vs Whirligig 3.0
CFYU Re-Evoultion vs Dead Metal
Spinny Thing Recharged vs Growler
Tempest Evil-Oution vs Sgt. Bash

YAY! Bully the FBS killing machine against a FBS!

My main tactics are to slam into Whirligig 3.0 and flip it OOTA as soon as possible.

OK Danny! :) Well, as I want to keep this superb tourney goind, Ill start this fight right now! :proud:
No hiding anymore, its strictly 1 on 1! :P

Bully - A vapourbot with a flipping arm and is a shuffler I believe.

vs

Whirligig 3.0 - A 6 wheel drive vapourbot thats known for its full bodied spinner of destruction, especially with 8 Pussycat type blades to cause more dammage.

Which one of these machines will make it into the semi-finals of house robot rebellion? LETS FIND OUT KNOW! :proud:

BTW, There are no house robots in the corner patrol zones for battles in this event.

Immediately Whirligig 3.0 tries to manouver to the sides of Bully to avoid that quite straight ahead charge, but instead Bully just rams it straight up and flips it over, it then has a side on attack as it gets flipped into the corner, and then Bully has another ramming attack at it and so it quickly shoves Whirligig 3.0 back into the corner as it then with impressive speed backs up into the pit release, but catching up is Whirligig 3.0, however Bully quickly reacts with the flipper, and sends it straight into the grinder and with so much force Whirligig 3.0 is flown into the air and the grinder gets detached! :) Whirligig 3.0 ends up landing straight onto the back of Bully and gets a hit at the top before landing on its 6 wheels, Bully then rams it back against the wall and Whirligig 3.0 ends up falling off of Bully. Bully then pins Whirligig 3.0 against the wall, and then Whirligig 3.0 tries to go on another attack, this results in Bully ramming it up against the wall, and flipping it into the corner before the ramming is complete. This fight is by far absolutely one sided now, Whirligig 3.0 is then rammed again, and the flipper activates, Whirligig 3.0 is sent 10 ft in the air, as the flipper activated as well, and it ends up on the edge of the wall, however Bully activates the arm again, and it goes straight ouf the arena, and rips a section of the audience protectioning apart too! :proud:
CEASE!

Whirligig 3.0 is becoming a bit naucious.
BULLY ADVANCES TO THE SEMI FINALS!!!!!

Dead Metal =
Pieces of metal

it cant damage my armour (running in 200 kg form) and I am to wide for its claws, so the simple thing is to hit the front and flip it over.

OK, now for another fight in the House Robot Rebellion,

CFYU Re-Evoultion- A walker robot with a spinner at the front and a forward hinged flipper at the back and side self-righting arms, its a re-vamped robot of one of Mr Daves old bots that had been around, with one of its versions in FRW Series 4.

vs

Dead Metal

Both machines have a go at each other, the flipper of CFYU Re-Evolutions flipper and since the pincers of Dead Metal cant get a hold, due to the width of CFYU Re-Evolution and Dead Metals saw gets down and tries to get the flipper, but instead it results in CFYU Re-Evolution being able to flip Dead Metal over, although Dead Metal got a hit with the saw on the flipper. Dead Metal is counted out, and CFYU Re-Evolution hits the pit release button, and then flips over Refbot for a little more fun. :proud: It then brings Dead Metal towars the pit, and it flips it straight down.
CEASE!

A short fight unfortunately. :sad:

Dead Metal is dead.
CFYU RE-EVOULTION ADVANCES TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!!!

woot!

Though I was going to flip it with the disc :proud:

Sgt Bash = About to be bashed. His claws dont have the reach to grab me before being hit by the teeth, the flmae thrower wont be effective as Im using fairly heast resistant metals, and his armour is fairly suspect:)

OK, 2 fights today in 1 post! :)

Spinny Thing Recharged vs Growler

Spinny Thing Recharged was around in Series 1 of From 72 to 1! as Spinny Thing, but it couldnt reach the heat final then, now it faces Growler, and those jaws look impressive, but so does that spinner. This should be hopefully close, so I can have a longer battle! :proud:

Immediately Spinny Thing Recharged spins up and Growler quickly manouvers over to the side and to the back of Spinny Thing Recharged, and grabs a hold of Scotts deadly machine and temporarily halts the spin on it. Growler then rams Spinny Thing Recharged against the wall, twice, before letting it go, is letting go of Spinny Thing Recharged a mistake, well it has a force and damages the bottom of the jaw, pretty badly, but doesnt immobilise it though. :) Growler then gets around and the jaw then takes another hit and the jaw has taken more damage and is almost ripped off, Growler gets a slight hold though on Spinny Thing Recharged and slams it into the pit release button, and when the jaws do let go, Spinny Thing Recharged rips the button right off! :proud: It then charges slowly, but it gets a hit on the wheel guard and breaks it right off! :o However it is by the pit, and Growler has the jaws ready to attack, Scotts plan is to rip the bottom part of the jaw off, and so it tries to, and DOES!!! :o Spinny Thing Recharged then manouvers away but the wheel gets hit and dammaged on Growler, and Growler manouvers out of control with only 1 wheel working and then it ends up backing itself down the pit.
CEASE!

Growler is growling mad about this loss.
SPINNY THING RECHARGED IS THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!!!

OK, Tempest Evil-Oution, the 11th ranked robot in From 72 to 1! and set to show that it isnt only vapourbots that this machine can handle, and Sgt. Bash could possibly find out why sooner rather than later. :)

Tempest spins uip and goes straight for the claws, and it immediately spins up and wrecks the top claw! :proud: It then waits for bash to do something, but then Tempest Evil-Oution gets a slight bit impatient and attacks the wheel guard on bash, and some armour near the wheel guard too, showing thats its not another spinover. :proud: *Audience Groans* Sgt. Bash then tries to push away But it gets its rear panel ripped basically right off, this is what the new and deadly Tempest Evil-Oution will do if youre not careful, and Bash certainly isnt careful Tempest Evil-Oution then hits the pit release button, thinking that its got this one won unless the wheel guards miraculously come off and an axe hits them. :P, but that isnt the case today, Sgt. Bash hits the wheel guard, and then another piece of the armour, Bash tries to attack with the flamethrower, which isnt doing a thing, and then it gets to the back and rips the motors to the flame thrower, and the machine catches fire to itself! :proud: Refbot comes in with the extinguisher that puts out Bashs fire, Bash is burnt inside and isnt moving, a 10 count from Refbot ends the fight, which was one sided from the beginning.
CEASE!

Sgt. Bash gets bashed!
TEMPEST EVIL-OUTION ADVANCES TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!!!

Semi-Finals
Bully vs Spinny Thing Recharged
CFYU Re Evouliton vs Tempest Evil-Oution

Bully vs STR again:). The first fight, which broke Bullys unbeaten status is here: http://invisionfree.com/forums/Battling_Bots/index.php?showtopic=97&view=findpost&p=930http://invisionfree.com/forums/Battl...7&view=findpos t&p=930. Im hoping for a rematch of this fight:)

I seem to be drawing Tempest Evil-Oution a lot these days

For this fight I will be sticking to the 200 kg mode and be on the defensive, hitting the invertible circle with my disc, Tempests reflexs will make it fly :proud:

Tactics: STR beat Bully last time, but this time, its personal! :proud:

I will activate the pit release button, and lure STR near it. I will then get the flipper underneath very gingerly and carefully, then flip it right into the pit.
Also, I will try and make STR rebound into the pit by taking a knock from me in the process. 5mm Hardox should withstand the force, but the reflection force should sent STR hurtling towards the pit.

Remember Scott, that was a 3 minute fight, which when to the judges

Must kill msn messenger

If he wants to play defensive thats fine by me... Should give me a nice amount of time to spin up fully before charging in:)

As always, the reflexing means Im transferring the stored energy into kinetic energy so very little of my own power is actually absorbed by the robot. All the shock proofing inside will allow it to land safely, and the middle teeth should stop ANY flywheel hitting the body between the teeth:proud:

...So basically as long as I keep away from the pit I should be fine:)

This fight will be close, I think Frank will win on little scars to the sides of CFYU, even he said he will not be able to cause major damage to the 4cm armour

Nah... Ill dent and scratch the top CM of steel nicely, but chopping through 2 CM of rubber will be hard work then theres another CM of steel to get through... I CAN immobolise CFYU... Just not in a 5 minute fight:lame:

On the other hand, theres not much he can do to me either:proud:

Remember, the disc has side protectors to avoid any rammers hitting the disc itself. These are very hard to bend, and if they bend, the only way is outwards. The disc on CFYU re-evo is too light on this robot in my view, but it can still hit hard, and with an etek, flip a robot out of the arena.

Anyways, I dont care about the result of this fight, as I am fully retiring soon.

In which case Ill just hit the side protectors and bounce off. CFYU cant hit me if the weapon is spinning:)

Wow! No posts in 3 days. :sad:

Anyways, Im back and set to write the semi finals

First up is Danny vs Scott THE BIRTHDAY BOY

Both machines go after each other with Bully being the main agressor, however Spinny Thing Recharged gets a hit at the front and does some pretty good dammage to Bully before it can get to the side, the dammage isnt really shown though due to the strong Hardox armour, it hits the pit release button, and the pit goes down as Spinny Thing Recharged gets another hit, and another at the rear of Bully, doing suprisingly more dammage to Bully, it then backs off Spinny Thing Recharged but takes a hit, Spinny Thing Recharged avoids the pit, and then Bully tries to take another shot at taking out Spinny Thing Recharged, it gets the flipper to flip but the spinner dammages the flipper in one good hit, and the wood just gets ripped off as it ends up landing on its legs, it then comes in, and breaks the front part of the flipping arm, but is flipped straight into the wood, and it dammages the wood even more, the front part of the flipper has been dammaged, and could be effected on Dannys chances of making it. :sad: Another hit to the side shows dammage to the dammage on Bully we didnt see much of earlier, Bully is then pushed, and after a 4th hit on the lifting arm, it sure is strong, but due to the strength of Spinny Thing Rechargeds spinner, it isnt hanging on by much, however refusing to quit is Bully, as Bully ends up taking another hit, and the flipper comes off by the front part, now it cant flip, but push. :) Doesnt matter though, Spinny Thing Recharged is getting hits that are causing dammage, one hit doesnt really get through the armour, but another one does. Time runs out, its the first judges decision needed in a while.
CEASE!

Both machines quickly charge at each other with deadly attacks, at leas thats what there potential should be. Anyways, both spinners meet, and they both bounce straight off eath other, but the disc has enough power to flip Tempest Evil-Oution straight over, but its invertible so it doesnt matter. Tempest Evil-Oution then decides manouver to the side, and the spinner scratches through the tough armour of the sides and is bounced straight off, but a small amount of dammage is shown, then it tries to get underneath it with the flipper, but the hinges break off from those low lower teeth on Tempest Evil-Oution! :o I then charges at the flipper, and gets a pretty good hit on it, but still doesnt really do much to the armour. However unfortunately for Dave, the flipper is pretty useless now, it hits the pit release button, but Tempest Evil-Oution hits CFYU Re-Evolution at the side again, and gets bigger dents, but still very small, then Tempest Evil-Oution gets behind CFYU Re-Evoulution and it hits the flipper and we see a dammaged part, along with the dammaged hinges however Tempest Evil-Oution is pushed into the corner and rammed, but the other hinges get dammaged, and fall off, bye bye flipper, and exposed innards, that is shocking for an impressive machine The spinner then spins in and attacks the weapon drive and drive motor in 1 hit, and theres a bit of smoke, which Refbot puts out with its fire extinguisher, Refbot then counts Daves machine out.
CEASE!

Cut, Flipped Up, yep, you guessed it, CFYU Re-Evolution has evolved into nothing.
TEMPEST EVIL-OUTION ADVANCES TO THE FINAL!!!!!!!!

FINAL
Spinny Thing Recharged vs Tempest Evil-Oution

Avoid, spin up, charge, avoid, spin up, charge, avoid, spin up, charge, repeat until KOd. Tempest rocks against most other FBSs because they cant reach it:proud:

Copying my tactic layout? :proud:

Tactics: Spin, charge, more destuctive so he goes flying, spin up, blam, blam, blam, KO!

You cant reach me, so its you who takes the most damage. Not to mention most of the energy aborbed by Tempest is transferred into the kinetic energy needed to make it bounce... Trust me Scott, in any head on charge you WILL come off worse than me:)

One thing - I never attack with my flipper because it is a self-righter mainly, and besides I know where to stick the heavy duty bearings, underneath the armour :proud:

Go Tempest, Spinny Thing Rechargeds disc drive shaft is very weak and under a lot of strain because of the weight of the disc :)

OK now, Vapourbots and House Robots In the mix, but now its come down to two vapourbot deadly spinners.

Scotts Spinny Thing Recharged and Franks Tempest Evil-Oution

Both machines prepare to attack each other, both spin up very fast, but Tempest Evil-Oution gets to Spinny Thing Recharged very quickly and it gets an attack and sends back the spinner, and puts a crack in it, and it tries to spin up, but it does so much more slower now, Tempest Evil-Oution then attacks again and breaks the spinner again, and Spinny Thing Recharged has been dammaged and pinned in the corner while Tempest Evil-Oution hits the pit release button and then it attacks again, and the spinner stops, Tempest Evil-Oution then has one hell of a time destroying Spinny Thing Recharged as the sri-mech comes off from those upper teeth! :proud: Tempest Evil-Oution then goes at it again, and it keeps attacking, Spinny Thing Rechargeds outside spinner shell has a few teeth knocked straight off it now, and a couple bits of armour too. :sad: Tempest Evil-Oution though doesnt quit there, it rams it straight towards the pit, an then it ends up falling straight down on a bad movement by Spinny Thing Recharged, they go out and the rebellion ends!
CEASE!

Spinny Thing Recharged has been charged with being spunout of this final.
TEMPEST EVIL-OUTION WINS THE HOUSE ROBOT REBELLION!!!!!!!! :proud:

Well done to Frank, who wins another trophy, this time with his bot, Tempest Evil-Oution! :proud: Frank has now two titles, this and the All-Star champion! :o

Two events, I believe to go now, next is the grudge matches, grudges from 72 to 1! and 72 to 1 Extreme! only, challenge any machines you want revenge on with vapour bots or real robots. But only a 3 grudge fight minimum please. And for vapourbots, please ACTUALLY PROVIDE STATS WITH YOUR MACHINES THIS TIME.

Get entering! :)

me having grudges = meh.

OK, Ill enter to get the swing of the mood going.

Name of person I hold a grudge against;Andy JJ
Why?;For questioning Leprosys stats

Robot I will use;Baby Taz
Built;In the Battlebots GBA game
Weight;About 100 kilos
Body shape;Lowish Spinbot
Colour;Red
Speed;15mph
Clearance;about 4mm to allow to spin
Armour;Titanium
Power;3x 12v batteries
Weapons;The Base spins ala Ziggo and it has a spinning mass that hangs down with blades on the tip, like in the game. They will bust through ANYTHING!
Srimech;Can self-right through sheer spinability (like in the game). Also has a tonuge, like Ziggos Tail.
Strengths;Weapon makes it virtually indestructable
Weaknessess;NONE!!!
Facts;The original Baby Taz is superheavyweight, but not by much. By drilling a few holes in the weapon and body, I could easily get it down again.
Claim for Indestructableness;The original Baby Taz has beaten Disector, Toro and Minion in under a minute...IN THE SAME BATTLE!!! And it took very little damage too.

thats because its A GAME

1) Who is Andy JJ?
2) Questioning the stats, Im trying to make your spinning body move, if your going to ignore baisic facts, fine, dont get anywhere in competitions!
3) Can you not get it, you want at least 1cm Ground Clearence to just about spin, youll still get trapped on debris with that!

Sure, Ill exept this challenge. Maybe I can give my FBS killer something to play with here :) Ill check with Matty if its OK first though. This gudge isnt from a 72 - 1 Series...

Grudges From 72 to 1 and 72 to 1 extreme ONLY.

Besides, you beat me in the TTT of Extreme as well, unfairly I might add. I just posted that for extra stuff.

Plus, I want a grudge cos youre NOT reading my replys. I keep asking what do you want from me? and you keep replying rudly, saying I dont listen.

So I want a grudge;

1;For questioning the stats
2;For not reading ALL my replys
3;(the important one)For beating me in TTT

OK, Ive got everything sussed for the Leprosy ground clearance, it is now 1cm, and can you move Baby Taz to 1cm too, for spinability reasons.

The grudge is for the TTT now. You had youre friend last time, just try going 1on1.

MUHAAHAAHAHAHAAAAA
