FRFFT: EVO

Hello, there...again:proud:

I hope you had a good Christmas, because I sure did. I got Walker: Texas Ranger on DVD and The Dark Knight on DVD! Did you get it too?:) Anyway, onto my latest show: FRFFT: EVO. Thats short for Fighting Robots Fan Fiction Tournament: Evolution!:proud:

It is a spinoff of FRFFT. You can expect FRFFT: Seris Two later on.

The rules for FRFFT: EVO are like the FRFFT One rules. I need four people to enter two robots of any of the following weights:

Featherweights: 1kg to 12kg
Middleweights: 25kg to 50kg
Heavyweights: 50kg to 100kg
Superheavyweights: 100kg to 150kg

Walking robots get double weight advantages. Other Robot Wars rules apply:)

The Robot Wars S7 arena will be used. Real robots are allowed, but it would be nice to see some vapourbots. The house robots wont be here, but Refbot will be. The judging system is like before, 3 points for each catagory

A spot has been reserved for Liam Elliot, so there are now 3 spaces left. You need to get it in quickly!

Thanks. Happy New Year when it comes! :):proud:

...Im going to have to be boring and take The Hurting and Drive again as my entries, largely because The Hurting has to defend its title and Drives the only active otherweight I have (Octavius and Broken Wings need stats done and that would take too long)

You should know where the stats are, they havent changed since last time.

Hope this is as exciting as the last one :proud:

Can I reserve a place, please? One SHW and one MW? :proud:

Ill enter Absolution for my HW and The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether for my SHW. :proud:

Stats on ZED. :proud:

I will enter Ziggy and Whiplash.

Thats all for now!:)

I will enter, stats in 1 minute!! XD

Robot Name: Werewolf
Weight: 13.6kg
Shape: Lox box with interchangeable front pieces
Length: 40cm
Width: 45cm
Height: 12cm
Motivation: 6 x invertible but internal from the side wheels, the hubs are HDPE and the tyres are polyrethane rubber. They 134mm in diameter
Drive: 2 x Dewalt Power Drives @ 24v
Batteries: 2 x 12v 2400mAh NiCads in series for 24v
Armour: 3.2mm hardox
Weaponry: The robot is a good pusher and can bash opponents around with top speeds of 22mph, but in the centre there is a Bio-Hazard style lifting arm powered by a 35w Bosch linear actuator that runs for the full length of the robot. At the front of the lifter there is a 1cm titaanium scoop, 5cm wide. Also at the front there are the previously mentioned interchangeable fronts:
1) An extra 5mm hardox panel just to beef it up and defend from spinners
2) A wedge angled at 42*, made of 5mm hardox
3) A wedge angled at 30*, made of 5mm hardox
4) A pair of Wedge of Doom-style scoops, but rigid and made of 5mm hardox. The robot cant run inverted with these
Speed: Can reach 22mph when I want to really slam opponents into walls or hazards, but for driving it will mostly be kept to about 15mph
Turning Circle: 0
Ground Clearance: 0 at front with setups 1,2 and 3, 7mm at sides and rear and at the front with setup 1
Srimech: Runs inverted with all setups except no.4, but the lifter can always right the robot
Colour: Polished, like Trident
Strengths: Good pusher
Weaknesses: No damaging weaponry

Robot Name: El Media Diablo
Weight: 50kg
Shape: Chaos 2
Length: 45cm
Width: 30cm
Height: 25cm
Motivation: 2 x front go-kart wheels and 2 x rear casters, all internal
Power: 2 x S28-150 magmotors at 24v
Armour: 5mm titanium on top, front, rear and sides, 3mm 7075 aluminium base
Weaponry:
1)Rear hinged flipper, powered by 2 x 85mm co2 rams at 500psi each. A 2kg bottle provide the power, giving it about 12-14 flips per fight
Top Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 8mm at sides, 4mm at rear and 0 at front due to flipper
Turning Circle: 0
Srimech: The flipper
Colour: Black
Strengths: Powerful weaponry
Weaknesses: High ground clearance at sides and rear

OK 8 minutes :proud:

lol, w00t :proud:

The Hurting vs. Absolution

Just so I dont have to hear anyone telling me itll self-destruct :P, Im gonna keep the shell at 1500rpm. Still takes 1.1 seconds to get there and dishes out over 100kJ per hit, so I should be fine. First go after his flipper and try to rip it out, as its a danger when Im not spinning. Then basically massacre him.

The System of Doctor Tarr & Professor Fether vs. Drive

The beautiful thing about this is that I got teamwork going for me here. :proud: Ill use Doctor Tarr to get under Drives sides and clamp it, while Professor Fether does his spinny thing and smashes that 10mm titanium area. If for some reason Fether cant get through that, pit the damn Drive. :P

Good luck in both battles Joey. :proud:

Against Deadly Lampshade Werewolf will use setup 4, just go and flip it since it cant self-right.

Against Hazard El Media Diablo will follow similar tactics, throw it onto its back and leave it since it cant self-right.

Good luck Daniel and Daniel :proud:

Also I think Absolution and Drive will win the other fights, since I see horizontal beating vertical and the 75kg parts of the clusterbot getting shove around to drive while failing to damage 10mm titanium

Thanks Liam, Werewolf is 1kg overweight, though

I have decided to go back on that one on one side event. Sorry, but all entries are in now.

The final lineup is this

FW: Deadly Lampshade VS Werewolf
MW: Hazard VS El Media Diablo
HW: Absolution VS The Hurting
SHW: Drive VS TSDTPF

I might do the first fight tonight! See you then!:):proud:

Just to let you know ELLIOT the featherweight limit is now 13.6kg in the UK, but if your sticking with the old limit Ill thin the hardox on the scoops by 1mm:)

Thanks for that Liam. If the featherweight competition returns next time, the weight limit will be 13kg

Welcome to FRFFT: EVO! This is the first spinoff of the popular (I think) FRFFT series! First, we have two featherweights: Deadly Lampshade and Werewolf. For this battle, even though Daniel has not told me what he wants to put in, Werewolf will be using

From England, Werewolf

Entered by Liam Elliot, Werewolf has 6WD and four weapons to choose from. For this battle, it will be using the scoop

From Wales, Deadly Lampshade

Daniel Stickler entered the FRFFT Featherweight Tournament last time, but lost! Deadly Lampshade still has the spinning shell. Daniel wants the title this time!

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

Deadly Lampshade spins up to speed, but Werewolf is quicker at 22mph and SLAMS into the shell! Both robots, being so light, are spun away. The shell has stopped spinning, allowing Liam to come in and ram Deadly Lampshade once again. Daniel runs away, but Werewolf is in pursuit. Deadly Lampshade hits the pit release, but its now cornered by Werewolf who charges full speed. It was almost knocked over then, Deadly Lampshade! Into the CPZ, and Werewolfs relentless assault continues! This is almost an exact copy of Typhoon II vs Storm II! Deadly Lampshade gets away and tries to hide behind the Refbot. Werewolf drives up Refbots front, and this has bought Daniel time to react. The shell is up to speed...SMACK! OH! Werewolf goes flying into the wall! The scoop seems a bit loose, but Liam recovers and charges again! Deadly Lampshade has stopped spinning again, and it allows Liam to make his move. Into the angle grinder! The judges are looking on. So far, I think Werewolf is on top. It lets Daniel go, allowing him to plan the next move, which is to spin up and try and get around the back of Werewolf, but Liam reverses...ALMOST into the pit! SMACK! Werewolf spun on the edge of the CPZ. The scoop is hanging limp now! Liam backs into the corner...not good! Daniel zooms in for the kill...but backs away! He has spared Werewolf. But is Werewolf moving, I wonder? The last ten seconds on the clock count down, but I think Werewolf is immobolised? Its too late to count it out, the judges will decide!

Cease!

What a royal rumble that was! The judges are looking over the fight to see if Werewolf was immobolised before the ten seconds to cease began. If so, Liam might go out!

Werewolf: S: 2 C: 1 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 7

Deadly Lampshade: S: 1 C: 2 D: 3 A: 2: 8

Ive heard from the judges Werewolf was NOT immobolised before the ten second count, but Deadly Lampshade is still the winner!

Sorry, Liam. Well done, Daniel!

Next, we have the Superheavyweight Tournament. A clusterbot against a 4WD rammer: Who will win? Find out later!

Ah well, good fight ELLIOT and well done Dan.

But Im from Wales too, not England :proud:

Welcome back after this short rest. Last time, Deadly Lampshade won the Featherweight Tournament!

In this next battle, we have a clusterbot from Canada and a rammer from England fighting to become the Superheavyweight Champion

From Toronto, in Canada, The System of Dr Tarr and Professor Fether

This is Kodys robot. Dr Tarr is like Stinger, but with crushing jaws instead of an axe. Professor Fether is an invertible body spinner. A good design, but if one goes out, it all goes out

From England, Drive

This is Joey McCs robot. A 4WD with a wedge and sharp spikes. But how effective is it, though?

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

Dr Tarr and Prof Fether split up, but Drive is too quick and SLAMS Dr Tarr into the wall! Dr Tarr balancing on one wheel there! Prof Fether tries to get around the back, but Drive is off again and turns to face Dr Tarr again! The jaws are closed, but it charges in anyway! Drive moves forward and the spikes on the wedge hook Dr Tarr onto it! SMASH! Prof Fether came in with its spinning body shell and Dr Tarr is spun off! Another massive impact on Drive by Prof Fether! Is Dr Tarr still moving? Has Kody knocked out his own robot? Thatd be ironic! The jaws are still working, but nothing else is...Drive pushes Prof Fether into the CPZ, the shell spins up, but Drive backs away and presses the pit release. Dont forget, if one part goes in, both are out! Drive DANGEROUSLY close, but the Refbot is looking at Dr Tarr, who is moving on ONE wheel. Nothing must be working for it to lose, though. Prof Fether has stopped spinning, but Drive takes advantage and pushes it across the arena floor and towards the pit...OH! In it goes! What a shock! Kody is out of the competition! Joey turns around and RAMS Dr Tarr into the wall! Its on its side, Dr Tarr. One jaw looks buckled. The Refbot doesnt have to count it out, though.

Cease!

Dr Tarr and Prof Fether are tarred and feathered!:proud:

Well done to Drive! They win the Superheavyweight Competition!

Next up, Hazard, Battlebotss three time Middleweight champion faces El Media Diablo in a destructive match! See you then!

So far, on FRFFT: EVO

Deadly Lampshade knocked six shades out of Werewolf
Drive proved too much for Kodys clusterbot The System of Dr Tarr and Prof Fether

But now, Hazard and El Media Diablo enter the arena!

From Wales, El Media Diablo

Liam Elliots second entry. El Media Diablo looks exactly like Robot Wars winners Chaos II, with a Co2 powered flipper. What happens when the Co2 runs out, though?

From California in the USA, Hazard

Daniel Stickler and Tony Buchaniani join forces to enter Hazard. It has a spinning tool bar on the top that caused damage in the last Middleweight competition. Will it be enough to win this, though?

Roboteers, stand by

3-2-1: Activate!

El Media Diablo is cautious off the mark as Hazards weapon spins up to full speed. Hazard moves to one side, but El Media Diablo to another. Theyre eying each other out UNTIL NOW! Hazard charged and sparks flew! Liam is knocked to one side! Is there any damage, I wonder? A small gash, but...OH! I was going to say nothing else, but Hazard strikes again! Liam fires the flipper and a cloud of Co2 emerges from it! Is the Co2 canister punctured? El Media Diablo crashes headlong into the pit release button, with Hazard in pursuit. But whats this? Hazard rams El Media Diablo into the wall, but the spinning bar isnt spinning! Daniel and Buchaniani look on...El Media Diablo turns the tables and flips Hazard up! Not over, though! Hazard backs away, but El Media Diablo catches up and THROEWS Hazard over...and onto its side! Hazard is almost on its top...and now it is! Daniel cant believe it! Refbot comes in to count Hazard out.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
El Media Diablo flips Hazard back onto its wheels, but its too late! HA-HA! Daniel drives into the pit! What a terrible end!

Cease!

Hazard becomes endangered!
What a turn around. The winner of the Middleweight Championships, is El Media Diablo!

Now to take you behind the scenes a bit. This is the judges scorecard until Hazard was counted out

Hazard: S: 2 C: 1 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 9

El Media Diablo: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 7

That was very close. Had it done to the judges, Liam would have gone out.

But he gets the trophy anyway. Sorry Daniel, but youve still got the Lightweight Championships won!

Next up in the Heavyweight Championships:

The Hurting, armed with a spinning disc that in turn powers a flipping arm
Absolution, a walking robot with a spinning shell

Joey McC, reigning Heavyweight champion VS Kody K

WHO WILL WIN?

See you later:):proud:

Lets take a look at the Heavyweight Championship Final from FRFFT: Series One, shall we?

The Hurting, at the beginning, almost flew out of the arena courtesy of Paul Cuomos Nitro-Gene 5.0, but the spinning disc took a massive bite out of Nitro-Gene to win the judges decision.

Im here with Martin Smith, one of the judges

Me: Mr Smith, The Hurting is the reigning heavyweight champion of FRFFT. Do you think itll win again here?
Smith: Ive had a look at absolution, and for a walking robot it looks very good. We might be seeing a shock here, but if The Hurting is the fastest, it has an advantage
Me: Thanks, Mr Smith

Ill wait for people to post any predictions or tactics. See you later

Well I know Ive posted tactics... :P

Sorry, Kody. I didnt want to hog the whole thread with loads of my posts, so I waited for the others to make some space

Also, I found some Extreme Warriors Series One and Series Two on Youtube. Type in Robot Wars USA to have a look. Its quite good

Back to the main event, however

From England, The Hurting

Joy McC entered The Hurting. A box wedge with a spinning disc on the front powered by a petrol engine. The disc provides energy to activate a flipper on the back. But if it goes over the flames...:proud:

From Toronto, in Canada, Absolution

Kody K entered this sloped cylinder which is powered by a petrol engine. Its a walking robot, so it gets a weight advantage. The weapon is the spinning shell with sharp blades

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

The Hurting wants to take Absolution on straight away, because although its slow, it makes up for in...DAMAGE! But damage is caused, and not from Absolution, but from The Hurting. The shell has stopped spinning and one of the teeth looks buckled! The Hurtings disc has stopped. Joey looks confident, and tries to push the wounded Absolution into the CPZ. The 8 legs are holding their ground, though. Kody wont let himself be walked over by The Hurting. The Hurting backs away, across the arena...into the pit release button! The champion senses Absolution is out of play. It isnt, but it is walking very slowly, across the flame pit! Oh dear! The Hurting SMASHES into the side! Absolution cant get away. The Refbot comes in and pushes Kody off the flame pit. Has the petrol engine been destroyed? No, its still walking, but The Hurting, 8mph quicker than Absolution, pushes it to the EDGE OF the pit! The Hurting stops though. Is it giving Absolution a chance. Well, Absolution is slowly walking away. The Hurting...mobile but not as quick as before. Did the earlier impact take out not just the weapon, but the drive!? Joey pushes Absolution into the wall, into the angle grinder. This is close. The judges look on. Theres a small gash on the front of The Hurting. Refbot comes in. Hes counting down to the end of the fight! The last ten seconds of FRFFT: EVO. The Hurting backs away and rams into Absolution again. Absolution is trapped between the angle grinder and the flame pit. The Hurting nudges it one more time!

Cease!

Theres not much action that I expected. It seemed to be all over from the beginning. The judges are looking over. They have a big choice to make

The Hurting

S: 1 C: 1 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 7
Absolution: S: 1 C: 1 D: 1 A: 1 Total: 4

Joey McC still holds onto the title of Fighting Robots Fan-Fiction Tournament Heavyweight Champion! He and Kody shake hands. Sportsmanship at the end, and thats what counts.

Featherweight Champion: Deadly Lampshade (Daniel FTB)
Middleweight Champion: El Media Diablo (Liam E)
Heavyweight Champion: The Hurting (Joey McC)
Superheavyweight: Drive (Joey McC)

Thanks to all who joined. FRFFT: Series Two will be along soon. Ill make more spaces for people to join. See you soon!:)

Meh, no comment :crazy:

Sorry, was in Middlesborough for three days and missed all this, so no tactics :P

Nonetheless, my machines evidently speak for themselves based on that performance, better fights than before Elliot and Im quite happy to say the least with the results. :proud: Fair play to Kody for staying in there in the heavies, and giving me a run in the superheavies.
