Robotic Story

Below is a story written by me containing LOTS of real robot and vapourbot names. Your task is to count how many you can find. You only have 1 guess, and whoever is nearest wins. IF A ROBOTS NAME IS REPEATED, THIS COUNTS AS 1!. Also, you do not need to post every robot name, just say how many you think are in the story.

Posting closes tomorrow night (Friday) at 7pm. Good luck. Youll need it! :proud:

IT WAS A NORMAL NIGHT IN LAS VEGAS, THE LIGHTS, THE SOUNDS, YET THE WEATHER WAS NOT GOOD. A LIGHTNING STORM WAS HEADING TOWARDS THE BUSY CITY, BUT MOST PEOPLE WERE INSIDE THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE CASINO, AND WEREN€™T AWARE OF WHAT WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. BARRY WAS A DEMOLITION MAN BY TRADE, MEANING HE WASN€™T SHORT ON CASH. AT THE ROULETTE TABLE, BARRY, ARROGANT AS EVER, PLACED $13 MILLION ON HIS FAVOURITE PLACE, 13 BLACK. THE WHEEL SPUN MADLY, AND THE BALL LANDED IN RED 23. NOT GOOD. IT SEEMS BARRY WAS SUFFERING FROM A BAD CASE OF BAD KARMA AFTER SQUISHING THE LITTLE FLY WHICH HAD EARLIER SCUTTLED ACROSS THE TABLE. GAMBLING WAS EASILY BARRY€™S ACHILLE€™S HEEL, AND IF HE DIDN€™T CONTROL IT, HE WOULD SOON BE MEETING THE TAXMAN AND THE GRIM REAPER. AS BARRY WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE CASINO, HE GLANCED UP AT THE SKY, THE GLASS ROOF HAVING STREAMS OF RAINWATER ROLL OF IT. THE WEATHER WAS TURNING BAD, AND AS HE EXITED KING BUXTON€™S CASINO, HE SAW A TORNADO ON THE HORIZON. YET, AT A CLOSER GLANCE, THIS TORNADO HAD ARMS AND LEGS. BARRY QUAKED IN FEAR, THIS WAS NOT JUST ANY STORM, THIS WAS GOING TO END IN ANARCHY.


THE CREATURE STORMED STEALTH-LIKE TOWARDS THE ATOMIC REACTOR CORE, KNOWN TO EVERYONE AS AREA-S3. THE MANIC MUTANT CRASHED THROUGH THE ROADBLOCK, AS THIS PREDATOR WOULD STOP AT NOTHING TO GET ITS SCORPION-LIKE CLAWS ON THE SPINNY THING. THIS WILD THING WAS PURE EVIL, AND HAD A LONG, SCALY TAIL, SIMILAR TO A RED DRAGON. MATILDA SHRIEKED LIKE A BANSHEE, THIS WAS HER WORST NIGHTMARE, YET SHE DIDNT KNOW BARRY HAD A CUNNING PLAN. THIS VALIANT CRUSADER WOULD HAVE JUMPED OVER BOILING HOT NAPALM TO SAVE HIS BELOVED. HE LEAPT LIKE A MAVERICK FLEA INTO HIS ROVER-101, AND SPED OFF TOWARDS ST. AGRO HOSPITAL€™S ICU. ONCE THERE, HE GRABBED AS MANY MOUSETRAPS AS HE COULD WITHOUT BEING SPOTTED BY HIS ARCH NEMESIS, DR. ERIC BINKY. LUCKILY FOR HIM, THE DOCTOR WAS SUFFERING FROM A PANIC ATTACK AFTER GETTING SPRAYED BY BLOOD FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD THEIR FINGER CAUGHT IN A SHREDDER. BARRY ALSO RIPPED A PIECE OF WOOD FROM THE FRONT DESK, AS HE RAN FROM THE HOSPITAL AND TOWARDS THE CREATURE.

BARRY WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE CREATURE, WHOSE STOMPING CAUSED CHAOS TO ENSUE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO STOP THIS VIPEROUS BEING FROM DESTROYING THE TOWN. IT HAD COMPLETE CONTROL OVER WHAT WAS TO OCCUR. OR DID IT? BARRY TRIED TO OVERTAKE THE CREATURE, BUT THE GOOEY, OOZING BLOBS DRIPPING FROM ITS BODY MEANT BARRY SPUN OUT, AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY. BARRY GRABBED THE PIECE OF WOOD HE HAD EARLIER STOLE, AND RAMMED IT INTO THE CREATURE€™S LEG, CAUSING SPLINTERS TO EMBED THEMSELVES. THE CREATURE SQUEALED LIKE A WARTHOG AS IT FELL BACKWARDS. BARRY QUICKLY THREW THE MOUSETRAPS ONTO THE ROAD, JUST BEFORE THIS DEMON LANDED WITH A THUD. THE PAIN ON THE CREATURE€™S FACE WAS INDESCRIBABLE AS IT BREATHED ITS LAST BREATH. BARRY SIGHED. THE ONSLAUGHT WAS OVER.

NEW STORY! Same rules apply. This time you have until Sunday night 7pm. Good Luck! :proud:



IT WAS AN UNUSUALLY QUIET FRIDAY EVENING, AS BATMAN AND HIS TRUSTY SIDEKICK ROBIN WERE IN THE BATCAVE READING THEIR HOROSCOPES.

€œWHAT STARSIGN ARE YOU, ROBIN?€ ASKED BATMAN, €œARIES?€

€œHOLY HOROSCOPES, BATMAN! I€™M A SCORPIO NOT AN ARIES!€ YELLED THE CAPED CRUSADER€™S COHORT.

€œHMMM€¦ SCORPIO€¦ AH! HERE IT IS. €˜BEWARE COMPUTER VIRUSES SUCH AS THE MILLENIUM BUG.€™€ READ BATMAN IN HIS USUAL SUPERHERO TONE OF VOICE.

€œTHAT€™S NONSENSE!€ EXCLAIMED ROBIN,€BESIDES, MY COMPUTER HAS OVER 1 MILLION GIGABYTES OF MEMORY AND 3 ANTI-VIRUS SYSTEMS. NOTHING WILL GET THROUGH IT. ANYWAY BATMAN, WHAT STARSIGN ARE YOU?€

€œWELL MY COMPATRIOT, MY STARSIGN IS UNKNOWN. I WAS BORN EXACTLY BETWEEN AQUARIUS AND GEMINI.€

BEFORE BATMAN COULD CONTINUE HIS SPEECH, THE SIREN WAILED. THE CAPED CRUSADER AND HIS CONFEDERATE JUMPED INTO THE NEWLY POLISHED BATMOBILE-M2. THE BATMOBILE-M2 WAS NEWLY UPDATED AFTER THEIR LAST RUN IN WITH THE DREADED DR EVIL, ALSO KNOWN AS TOM ROPER. JOINING THE FLAMETHROWERS, SAW BLADES AND NITROGEN CANNONS WERE ELECTROMAGNETS, WHICH WERE OPERATED BY PRESSING THE RED SQUARE BUTTON, AND THE TORSION SPRINGS, OPERATED BY THE CIRCLE BUTTON. ALSO, BECAUSE EVEN SUPERHEROES NEED ENTERTAINMENT, DISCO LIGHTS AND A SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM WERE INCORPERATED IN THE DESIGN.

AS OUR DYNAMIC DUO STORMED THROUGH THE WINDING STREETS OF GOTHAM CITY, THEY PONDERED ON WHO COULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE ALARM, AFTER ALL, GOTHAM CITY€™S EVIL VILLAINS WEREN€™T EXACTLY HARD TO COME BY. IT COULDN€™T HAVE BEEN THE DREADED HORNET, AS THEY KILLED HIM BY GIVING HIM FROSTBITE, AND IT COULDN€™T HAVE BEEN THE RED KNIGHT SEEING AS HE WAS SAFELY LOCKED AWAY IN A SECURE MENTAL HOSPITAL. THEN, LIKE A LIGHTNING FLASH, IT DAWNED ON THEM. KATNIP!

KATNIP WAS NOTORIUS FOR CAUSING TROUBLE AND STRIFE ON FRIDAY EVENINGS, AFTER ALL, SHE WAS YOUNG, FREE AND SINGLE, AND WAS ALREADY MAKING A NAME FOR HERSELF ON THE CELEBRITY CIRCUIT. SHE WAS CATWOMAN€™S LITTLE SISTER AND TO BE QUITE FRANK, HER SETTING THE ALARM SYSTEM OFF WASN€™T EXACTLY A TWIST OF FATE. SHE ALWAYS HAD THE HOTS FOR ROBIN, AND WANTED TO GO ON A DATE WITH THE CAPED CRUSADER€™S COMPADRE SINCE SHE FIRST CLAPPED HER LITTLE CAT EYES ON HIM. THE BATMOBILE-M2 SPED THROUGH A NARROW ALLEYWAY, KATNIP LYING IN WAIT. SHE POURED MOTOR OIL ALL OVER THE FLOOR, CAUSING THE BATMOBILE-M2 TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND WEDGE ITSELF IN THE ALLEYWAY. UNABLE TO GET HIS DOOR OPEN, BATMAN WAS TRAPPED, LEAVING ROBIN TO DEAL WITH THIS FATAL FEMME FATALE. KATNIP SWUNG HER FOUR SWORDS LIKE BATONS, LEAVING ROBIN UNABLE TO GET NEAR. ONE OF THE SWORDS NICKED ROBIN€™S FOREHEAD, CAUSING BLOOD TO OOZE. HOWEVER, ROBIN WAS GIFTED, AND A SCAR QUICKLY BEGAN TO FORM.

€œC€™MON ROBIN!€ PURRED KATNIP, €œTAKE ME OUT TONIGHT. JUST US TWO, NO BATGEEK!€

€œNEVER, YOU ARE PURE EVIL, KATNIP!€ GROWLED ROBIN, AS HE LUNGED TOWARDS HIS ADMIRER.

€œYOU ASKED FOR IT€¦ PUSSYCATS! ATTACK!€ HISSED KATNIP, AS HER FAITHFUL ARMY OF KITTENS ATTACKED ROBIN. HE WAS EASILY OUTNUMBERED, LEAVING KATNIP RUN TO SAFETY.

Major Tip! Look in the PTT5 entry list for some of the robots... :proud:
