Yes, this is a tournament for all the semi-finalists of Robot Wars. Well start off with the semi-finalists of Series 3, so here we go;
ROUND 1 LINE-UP
Pitbull v Steg-O-Saw-Us
Big Brother v Beast of Bodmin
Trident v Evil Weevil
101 v Gravedigger
Panic Attack v Scutters Revenge
Chaos 2 v Thing II
Blade v Firestorm
Hypno-Disc v Mace II
Post predictions here. If anybody could tell me where the Pitbull team come from, thanks.
Steg v Pitbull
Steg to shove the Bull around the arena and turn him over against a side wall
B B V BOB
BOB easily, all he has to do is put in one flip and hes outta here.
Trident v Evil Weevil
If Weevils spikes are working, then he should be able to trurn them over, if not Trident to pound the Weevil into submission
101 v Gravediiger
Impossible to predict. 101 has neither the strength or the weaponry however Gravediggers weapon will be uneffective. It depends solely either on who impresses the judges and/or who breaks down first.
Panic Attack v Scutters Revenge
Panic Attack all the way for me. He will get underneath roll them over and then in the immortal words of Homer Simpson... Thats the end of that chapter
Chaos 2 v Thing II
Close, very close. If Chaos 2 can get 1 good flip in, its all over. As it is Thing is more manouvrebale and will shove them around all day if he can get underneath the rear of the robot and probably will shove it into the mercy of the House Robots.
Blade v Firestorm
Guess. Thats all I have to say *CoughfirestormCough*
Hypnodisc v Mace 2
Mace 2 is only Aluminium so expect to see little chunks of mace Scattered around the arena like pebbles.
There ya go
Im going to work from the bottom;
FROM BANBURY, HYPNO-DISC
The honeycomb aluminium might take some damage, and it has no self-righter (were using the Series 3 versions), but the huge spinning disc more than makes up for that.
FROM HASTINGS, MACE 2
Armed with a lift, ram and flail, this silver box is made merely of aluminium, which will count against it for this battle against Hypno-Disc.
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE!
Mace 2 runs away, and rams itself into the Pit Release several times. It runs into Hypno-Discs back, and lifts it, but does not flip it, and instead chooses to jam Hypno diagonally against the arena wall, with the disc spinning upwards! The RefBot comes in, and its clear to him that Hypno isnt going to come down from here, and so starts the count-down. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and theyre out! The house robots move in, and quickly shove Hypno down the pit the moment the Disc-bot is free. Mace is through to the next round!
And now, its time for our next bout, Blade v Firestorm.
FROM DURHAM, FIRESTORM 1
A typical wedge-shaped robot, with a flipping arm, and a rarely-used rear spike.
FROM SOMEWHERE OR OTHER, BLADE
Surprise semi-finalists of Series 3, a yellow-and-black striped box with a rotary lawnmower blade.
House robots are Sir Killalot and Shunt.
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE!
And were off! Both robots circle around, looking for an opening, until Blade backs off, gets its weapon up to speed, charges at Firestorm...and does nothing whatsoever! Realizing its weapon isnt going to be much use, Blade runs to the pit release button, then circles around it. But Firestorm is quicker off the mark, and charges into Blade, and flips it! The team are doing everything they can to get the robot back, but theres nothing doing. The end to this battle is coming up fast, as the Refbot trundles forward to bring this sorry sight to a halt. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! And theyre out! Killalot comes in to have a barbecue of roasted Blade, and finally, into the pit they go. Firestorm, theyre burning through to the quarter-finals.
And now, its time for the clash between Thing 2 and Chaos 2...
FROM NORWICH, THING 2
This red wedge with a scary face that has LED eyes, and armed with a scoop and lifting spike, but self-righting is impossible.
FROM IPSWICH, CHAOS 2
The infamous red-and-black robot, with a powerful flipper, but this series 3 version has only 1.1 kg of C02 in it, so it could run low soon.
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE! Chaos is on the attack right away. It bounces Thing, and Thing is lifted, wobbles, but falls back onto its wheels, and starts pushing Chaos from the rear, and into Matildas flywheel! Chaos quickly overturns Matilda, but at what cost? Theyve torn the flipper in two, and their weapon is almost useless! They try another flip on Thing, but just rip the flipper further, and now, theyre being pushed into Shunt, who slams the axe down ... and narrowly misses the C02 canister, and the blade misses the removable link by inches! Chaos squeezes itself just free, but the rear armours been torn off, while Shunt uses the axe and cracks an eye on Thing! And now Chaos is in on a valiant attack, with the wobbling remains of the flipper lifting up Thing, who slams Chaos into the pit release! And now, Thing forces Chaos slowly over the flame pit, while Chaos fires the flipper many times. It reverses, trying to get some speed for a big attack, but is now teetering on the brink of the pit!
Just when it looks like the winner will be outright, CEASE! is called, and itll be a judges decision...
And here it is, with marks out of 5 (damage loses points, and can be more than 5 if extreme damage was taken)...
CHAOS 2
Style: 3
Control: 4
Damage: -7
Agression: 4
Total: 4
THING 2
Style: 5
Control: 5
Damage: -1
Agression: 5
Total: 14
Easy, Chaos is out by a 10-point margin, Thing through. Next up, Panic Attack v Scutters Revenge.
FROM CWMBRAN, IN WALES, PANIC ATTACK
The Series 2 champions, a box with forks, but ground clearance is fairly high.
FROM ESSEX, SCUTTERS REVENGE
A red box, with a front bulldozing scoop, but has no self-righter.
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE! And Scutters Revenge starts attacking first, but Panic Attack is on its guard, and lifts up Scutter from the front! It backs off, with Scutter trapped, and hits the Pit Release. Panic drives forward, still with Scutter on its forks, and forces Scutter over! Refbot comes over, seeing that Scutter has little time left in this world, and begins the countdown. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! And Panic Attack are through! Growler comes in to shove Scutter onto the drop zone. Its raining bowling balls, and CEASE is called. Panic Attack are through!
Blade is from Newbury!
Pitbull comes from Nottingham.
Im not sure about Trident, but I think its Leeds, or Leedston
FROM KETTERING, 101
A tracked, silver box, with a spike. Looks pretty harmless, but dont be fooled.
FROM NORWICH, GRAVEDIGGER
Brown Cassius clone. Simple.
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE! Gravedigger comes in, and flips 101, which has no effect whatsoever. Gravedigger flips 101 against the arena wall, so its like Spawn of Scutter wedged there against Panic Attack in their Series 4 semi. Gravedigger attempts to flip 101 out of the arena, but knocks it out of position! 101 is on the attack, using the spike to pierce Gravediggers aluminium, and slams it against the pit release. Gravedigger flips 101 back, and 101 starts pushing Gravedigger into Mr Psycho, but hes so big and useless that Gravedigger escapes him easily. Gravedigger flips 101 into Shunt, but 101 fires the spike to boost itself away, and starts pushing Gravedigger towards the pit. Gravedigger runs off, and 101 gives chase, and traps Gravedigger into the CPZ, and pierces the armour, before shunting Gravedigger towards the pit. Gravedigger falls down, into the pit ... and 101 are through.
FROM LEEDS, TRIDENT
Nice and shiny, with a big axe. Descriptive enough for you?
FROM CARDIFF, EVIL WEEVIL
Green, black and yellow robot, with front lifting forks.
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE! Both robots are on the attack right away, with Trident using its axe to rip something off Evil Weevil. Evil Weevil starts lifting Trident, and rams it into the arena wall. Trident uses its axe many times, tearing some of the armour on Evil Weevil. It hits the pit release, while Evil Weevil starts limping. The robot drives into the arena wall before Trident hits it again and again, before pushing it into Matilda, who moves in on Evil Weevil...who moves away! Trident is left prone to attack, and the flywheel rips off one of the wheels! Trident reverses back, trying desperately to do something, but Evil Weevil manages to hold it against Matildas flywheel, who grinds at it again and again, before Evil Weevil manages to flip Trident onto its side with the spikes. Refbot comes up, nudges Trident, sees that it wont get back, and begins the countout. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and theyre out! Evil Weevil go through!
FROM BRIGHTON, BIG BROTHER
A typical wedge-shaped robot, with a morning star and a steel whip. It has no self-righting mechanism, however.
FROM BODMIN, THE BEAST OF BODMIN
Another wedge, a black one, with spikes, eyes, circular saw, and a lift.
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE! Big Brother flails its morning star around uselessly, but the weapon just skims across the Beast uselessly. Beast lifts up the Brother, but does not flip it, and Big Brother attempts to use its steel whip, while the morning star falls off. Beast turns around, sticks the lifter beneath it, and overturns Brother into Sgt Bash, highly similiar to the Brothers exit from Series 3. The wheels skim over air, but it doesnt look like Big Brother is going anywhere any time soon. The Refbot obviously thinks so, because he drives over with the clock ready to give Big Brother the count-out. Watching Big Brother (no pun intended), he begins. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Well, it might have had a morning star, but it seems that Big Brother is no longer a star...Beast of Bodmin go through.
FROM NOTTINGHAM, PITBULL
Pitbull, with clamping jaws, and nice paintwork, looks like a dog (obviously), but will he have to beg for victory?
FROM SOUTHAMPTON, STEG-O-SAW-US
The lean, mean, green dinosaur machine with lifting tail, plus considerable pushing power. But will it survive extinction?
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE!
And Steg is first on the attack, lifting up Pitbull...but the dog has got Stegs rear in his jaws! Steg uses the lifter to get free and hit the pit release, but while hes doing so, Pitbull makes an approach, grabs Steg, attempts to swing it round...but Steg flips its way free, and Pitbull ends up having to chase him again! The two robots circle each other, until Steg charges forward and pushes Pitbull, from the side, into Sir Killalot! And Killalot has brought his hydraulic crusher down on Pitbull, who looks very dead now, the robot isnt moving, and the Refbot has come up to count-out the loser. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! Theyre out! Growler grabs the less-than-cuddly puppy, and Pitbull goes down the pit.
Quarter final line up;
Panic Attack v Firestorm
Beast of Bodmin v Mace II
101 v Evil Weevil
Trident v Steg-O-Saw-Us
Youve havent put Thing 2 down, and youve put Trident down, despite it losing to Evil Weevil. HOW COULD YOU!!!???!!!
Oh look, only three people have replyed to this topic. These things that you cant enter do not get any interest, dont you get it?
Really nice person, arent you?
Perhaps you havent noticed, youre wrong?
Im reading it, suprising results, like to see what happens
Andrew, Youre disencouraging the poor guy.
Yeah, I have lots of friends actually :) Maybe its time to realise...
FROM CWMBRAN, PANIC ATTACK II
FROM DURHAM, FIRESTORM 1
The battle begins slowly, with the two robots circling around, but neither attacks, until Firestorm comes in, and flips Panic Attack! While PA is using its slow self-righter, Firestorm attempts to carry it to the arena wall and flip it out, but this just results in it flipping PA out! Panic lifts up Firestorm, and pushes it into Matilda. She charges in and rips a side panel off Firestorm! Firestorm is frantically trying to ease itself off the forks, while Panic Attack hits the pit release button, swings round...but Firestorm falls off, self-rights, and pushes a startled PA down!
Firestorm makes it 5-0 and go through to the Semis, Panic Attack in a panic.
FROM BODMIN, THE BEAST OF BODMIN
FROM HASTINGS, MACE 2
The two circle each other, until the Beast rushes in quickly to have a go at Maces armour with the saw, and does some damage. Mace hits the pit release button, and uses its flail, and both robots attack with their lifters, but Mace lowers its own, allowing Beast to take full control, and drags Mace down the pit!
FROM KETTERING, 101
FROM CARDIFF, EVIL WEEVIL
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE!
101 is off the mark and attacks Evil Weevil from the side, and does some damage. 101 slams in, and pushes Evil Weevil into the arena wall, and uses the spike to rip off a shard of armour. Evil Weevil attempts to retaliate with its own (lifting) spikes, which flip over 101, which makes no difference whatsoever. 101 uses the spike again, and Evil Weevil runs away...into Mr Psycho! Pyscho uses his useless hammer in a pathetic attempt to do some damage to Weevil, and while hes reloading the attack, Weevil escapes, but 101 is waiting, and uses the spike! Weevil drives off with some armour flailing behind, and drives into Sgt Bash. Bash uses his jaws, and does considerable damage to Evil Weevil, which backs off and manages to flip 101, who is off the mark and uses Weevil to hit the pit release, and Weevil backs off...into the descending Pit! It fires its spikes, scrabbling around, trying to find enough traction to heave itself out of the pit, but the robot falls onto its back and is left to rest as the smoke rises. 101 win through!
Next up, Trident v Steg-o-Saw-us. Wholl be taking the last place in the semi-finals?
The last of the quarter-final eliminators.
FROM LEEDS, TRIDENT
FROM SOUTHAMPTON, STEG-O-SAW-US
3. 2. 1. Activate!
Steg swerves away from Trident, and drives over the flame pit, before quickly ramming Trident into the pit release with lots of power, doing some damage to the body. Trident attempts to respond with its own axe, but Steg pushes it again, and shoves it into the pit with (what we can only presume to be) the greatest of ease. Four survive for the semi-finals!
And heres the draw;
Firestorm v. Beast of Bodmin
101 v. Steg-O-Saw-Us
is anyone reading this?
You are, for a start.
not really, I didnt read the fights.
The idea of this place is to tourneys in which people want to enter, I believe there is a place for writing fights just for real robots.
Beast of Bodmin Vs Firestorm
To be honest, Beast of Bodmin has no SRIMECH. Need I say more?
101 Vs Steg-O-Saw-Us
2 tank-tracked machines, Stegs lifter was never its strength, it was its power. But I think 101 could win because it has good power & traction.
FROM BODMIN, THE BEAST OF BODMIN
FROM DURHAM, FIRESTORM 1
The match starts off with a cautious sparring match, with both opponents trying to push their opponents from the sides. Beast lifts up Firestorm, and pushes it into the pit release, but Firestorm gives its opponent something to think about by shunting them into Mr Psycho, but hes so big and useless the Beast driver dodges him easily. Firestorm comes in and shunts Beast against the arena wall, and tries to flip them out, but this means that Firestorm is now propped up against an arena angle grinder, and so is the Beast! Refbot comes in and frees both of them, so Firestorm gets beneath the Beast of Bodmin, carries it to the arena side wall, and attempts to flip it out...but cant quite manage it, and instead flips it right over - but thats enough! Refbot comes in and nudges Beast, before beginning the countdown. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and theyre out! Mr Psycho and Dead Metal come in, and put the prone robot on the arena floor flipper. Beast flies through the air, but Psycho attempts to drop the dead robot on the drop zone, but Beast lands on its feet...er, wheels, sorry...and runs off. Psycho is so slow and pointless, he cant keep up! Eventually Beast stops the game of cat and mouse by driving into Dead Metal, who delivers it to Mr Psycho, who picks Beast up, while Dead Metal hits the pit release, and you can probably guess what happens next.
I dont really care but TRIDENT went out in round 1 and THING 2 went throguh but TRIDENT was in round 2 and THING 2 wasnt. Its a small tourny and you cant even keep track of who went through your such a loser
Now thats not very nice.
At least I can keep track of which robots go through in MY tournies, and I almost always do real robot (and I dont intend to do anything other0
Righty-ho.
FROM HAMPSHIRE, THING 2
FROM SOUTHAMPTON, STEG-O-SAW-US
Steg starts pushing Thing from the side, Thing tries to get free, but Steg pushes it into the pit release, then turns around and flips Thing!
HAPPY?
Good battle *Thumbs up*
Im not even going to try and think how sarcastic that was, so...
FROM KETTERING, 101
FROM SOUTHAMPTON, STEG-O-SAW-US
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE!
The two robots circle, until Steg comes in and attempts to flip 101, but 101 uses its spike to rip off some of Stegs side armour. Steg attempts to lift 101 again, and manages to push 101 into Sir Killalot. 101 runs away, and the two robots play cat and mouse for a while, until 101 attacks with the spike again, and does more damage. One of Stegs tracks is now exposed. Steg hits the pit release button, while 101 uses the spike on Stegs lifter, and then attacks Stegs exposed track, and suceeds in breaking it! The Refbot comes in, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, OUT! 101 spins around while Killalot and Sgt. Bash come in, and place Steg on the arena floor flipper, while Killalot attempts to have a go at 101. The dinosaur goes flying, and Refbot attempts to put the dead robot on the Drop Zone, but 101 rushes into the Ref and pushes it out of the way, and Bash puts Steg in the pit.
The final will be Firestorm v. 101, and the playoff will be Beast of Bodmin v. Steg-O-Saw-Us.
FROM BODMIN, THE BEAST OF BODMIN
FROM SOUTHAMPTON, STEG-O-SAW-US
Its the third place playoff, and these two have nothing to lose now. These two have met before, in a battle which saw the Beast eventually break down.
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE!
Steg is the first off the mark, and slams into the side of the Beast. Some of Beasts armour is hanging off now...deja vu anyone?
Steg rushes and pushes Beast into Matilda, and the robot leaps up into the air as soon as it makes contact with the fully spinning flywheel, and lands...balancing on its side...will it go over? But it falls back before Steg can get to it, and is attacking...and both are now involved in a tug-of-war towards the CPZ! Eventually, Steg manages to get the upper hand, and shoves them into Matilda, and up into the air goes the Beast again. This time it lands wheels up, but Steg rushes forward into Matildas flywheel by mistake, gets thrown backwards...and doesnt move at all! Once again, its stuck with a broken track, and it cant move. The Refbot comes in, and its all over. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...and Cease is called! Beast of Bodmin wins third place, but coming up, the grand final, as Firestorm takes on 101!
FROM KETTERING, 101
FROM DURHAM, FIRESTORM 1
The teams take their positions for the Grand Final!
3. 2. 1. ACTIVATE! 101 is off the mark and slams into Firestorms side, and uses the spike to rip off some aluminium. Firestorm responds by flipping 101. This is ineffective, and 101 backs off into the pit release. Firestorm nearly goes in just as the large square hole is descending, but avoids oblivion and flips 101 again. 101 slams Firestorm into an arena grinder, which creates some sparks but its only a shallow cut. 101 uses the spike a few more times to pierce Firestorms armour a bit, before driving up Firestorms wedge and getting flipped twice, before pushing Firestorm from the side, and into the CPZ! Shunt uses his axe and dents Firestorms armour, before Dead Metal comes in and traps Firestorm and bringing down the saw. Firestorm attempts to flip Dead Metal, but this is pretty hopeless considering theyre trapped in Dead Metals jaws! Dead Metal escapes and Firestorm gets itself ready for a comeback, but CEASE is called, and itll be the latest Grand Final to go to the Judges...
101
STYLE: 3
CONTROl: 4
DAMAGE: -1
AGGRESSION: 3
TOTAL: 9
FIRESTORM 1
STYLE: 2

And the decision is that Firestorm is out, and 101 wins the first Semi-Finalists Championship!
Well, 101 are the victors, and therell most probably be another Semi-Finalists Championship some time soon, until then, goodbye.
