A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

In Series One, Roadblock from Bodmin overtook the opposition and pasted Bodyhammer after a spectacular grand final to become the first Robot Wars champion
In Series Two, Panic Attack surprised everyone after pitting the almighty Cassius to become our second champion
The next two series saw Chaos II break a Robot Wars record as it not only became the first to flip a robot out of the arena, but the first to win two series in a row!
Razer became the holders of the crown in Series Five, after crushing and biting its way to victory
In Series Six, Tornado blew its enemies into submission in a grand final worthy of a Robot Wars brawl
And Series Seven, the RAF and Typhoon went to new heights as the sixth Robot Wars champion!

And now, after 5 years, Robot Wars makes its final return. And if you don't enter it, you'll simply have to read it :proud:

But enough of the Road to Armageddon, or as I call it, the M4, and on with the main course :)

The rules are different for this fan fiction net: I need eight people to enter one real robot and one vapourbot. Can six people please enter a featherweight and a middleweight (They can be either real or your own)

Its a heavyweight tournament, set in the Series Seven arena. The house robots will be there as usual

Normal weight limits apply, clusterbots, as many parts as wanted, are allowed, but once half are out, its all out

Thanks for entering this. I know Robot Wars was sent off long ago, but surely we owe us, the fans, one more rumble :proud:

See you tomorrow with some updates

Ehhhh...weird...but...

Why not, I'll enter with:

Macduff the 4th (HW vapourbot)
Surgeon General (Battlebots Season 5)

As for otherweights:

Heretic (FW)*
Xianghua III (MW)*

* - will probably update the renders for these bots

All vapourbot stats can be found on the link in my sig.

Ok i'll have Terrorhurtz as my real bot and Jack let me use CroOkEd evo

:)

Regards

Harry

ok

O.I.D (stats on zed) and typhoon

and presuming i can also enter otherweights ...

fw: flow!

mw: voodoo Chile


:)

Ok

I'm gonna enter Gravity 5 and Pick axe of doom which Jack let me use because at the moment i don't
have a vaperbot :D

Regards

Ben

Ooh, sounds like a lark. :D

HEAVYWEIGHTS:
1. Traffic Warden
SHAPE- square bracket, rounded rear
COLOUR- black with a yellow stripe
WEIGHT- 100kg, I hope
DIMENSIONS- 95cm X 150cm X 25cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm
ARMOUR- 4mm Grade 5 titanium
MOVEMENT- four inner wheels
POWER- 2 x Etek-RT motors, running at 48v and producing 38hp.
WEAPONS- Two vertical hydraulic clamps within the middle of the machine. Each clamp is powered by an 80mm x 40mm ram operating at 3000psi, delivering up to 10 tonnes of crushing power. When an opponent slips into the middle, the clamps activate and hold them in place. Traffic Warden can then drag them around and shove them into the nearest arena hazard. Think of it as Huggy Bear on steroids.
SRIMECH- invertible, rounded rear should prevent it getting beached
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, super special awesome thanks to Daniel Stickler, Martijn and AJ for helping with the design
STRENGTHS- great traction, tough shell, fairly manoueverable, nippy, powerful grip
WEAKNESSES- untested weapon, exposed ground clearance
PIC- http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/1130 ... nalto6.png

2. Tsunami (RW7)

FEATHERWEIGHT:
Rolling Pin FTW
SHAPE- cylinder ala Barberous
COLOUR- brown
WEIGHT- approx 13kg
DIMENSIONS- 30cm X 50cm X 20cm
SPEED- 15mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0mm
GROUND CLEARANCE- 10mm
ARMOUR- 3mm titanium monocoque body
MOVEMENT- 2 x outer wheels with a rolling pin handle on each
POWER- 2 X 9.6v drill motors, running on 12v. The motors run on 4000Mah NiCad€™s, resulting in a 4amp battery
WEAPONS- Why, the robot itself. Rolling Pin FTW is armed with a full-body spinning drum, powered by a Speed 900 at 24v, with a second 4amp battery powering it. The drum can reach speeds of 2000rpm for the perfect balance of spin-up and slaughter.
SRIMECH- invertible
NOTES- flies Scotland flag, cheers to Joey for help
STRENGTHS- Fairly destructive, fast, manoueverable, well protected
WEAKNESSES- low pushing power, may prove tricky to control
PIC- http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/517/ ... ftwhs5.png

MIDDLEWEIGHT:
Killoteeny
SHAPE- compact box shape with a front Storm 2-style wedge and a rounded rear
COLOUR- red
WEIGHT- about 50kg
DIMENSIONS- 80cm X 60cm X 25cm
SPEED- about 16mph
TURNING CIRCLE- 0m
GROUND CLEARANCE- virtually 0mm at the front, 5mm at sides and back without skirts, 0mm at sides and back with skirts
ARMOUR- 5mm polycarbonate
WHEELS- inside robot, 4WD
POWER- 2 X S28-150s, running at 24v
WEAPONS- The main weapon is the large 180 degree pneumatic axe, very similar to that of Killerhurtz, which operates ala a rack-and-pinion system like Terrorhurtz. Running on 160psi, it really packs more than a punch and can very easily self-right the machine.
Also, if anything should happen to the axe, then the robot can use the low wedge and great pushing power to resort to a Tornado-style tactic - ram to death!
SRIMECH- The axe. Even if it€™s already been fired while flipped, the axe can right itself ala Killerhurtz, aided by a rounded back. Also, the machine has a rounded back and a red semi-sphere on either side of robot to stop it landing on its side.
NOTES- flies the Scotland flag
STRENGTHS- Fast, dangerous weapon, good amount of traction, difficult to get under, quick srimech, quite good armour
WEAKNESSES- so-so turning

Don't you mean Gravity 3 ?
Cause 5 hasn't been built yet ;)

Thanks, guys

To Ben, Harry and Jack, are you brothers? Just wondering. Loads of Orrs appearing :proud:

This is the current lineup

There are 3 more places, in the main event, the featherweight and the middleweights

Just so people know, Typhoon II, Storm II, Tornado and X-Terminator are the seeded robots, but if none are entered, I'll pick other real robots you entered based on their performances in previous series

Thats all for now :)

yes we are brothers :)

wooo i entered typhoon so i guess i am seeded :)

jack

I'll enter X-Terminator (thanks for reminding me of the seeds mate :proud: ) and Liar 2 as my vapour, stats on ZED

Thanks, Martijn. You don't have to enter the seeds, you know, everyone

This is what it currently looks like

1: Typhoon II
2: Storm II
3: Tornado
4: X-Terminator

At the moment, though

1: Typhoon II (Champion)
2: X-Terminator (Fourth Place)
3: Gravity (Semi-Finalist)
4: Terrorhurtz (Didn't Do A Thing) :proud:

Ben, I assume your taking the S7 Gravity?

There are two places left and still some places in the featherweight and middleweight competitions :)

Negativity and Tornado (S6) please.

For otherweights, I'll enter Strike and Starfighter.

I'll enter Firestorm 5 and Ge5orce in the main competition. I'll also enter OverDrive in the featherweights and The Unamed Feeling in the middleweights. :)

*Note: The following is an absolutely ridiculous question being asked to the almighty AJ.

Why not put in the all-powerful ForcePower Turbo, even though it's been replaced with Exertion?

All spots filled in the main competition, everyone

Typhoon (Jack)
OID (Jack)
Macduff the 4th (Kody)
Surgeon General (Kody)
Tsunami (Steven)
Traffic Warden (Steven)
Terrorhurtz (Harry)
CroOked Evo (Harry)
Tornado (Mark)

Rolling Pin FTW (Steven)

Middleweights

The Unarmed Feeling (AJ)
Xianghua III (Kody)
Killoteeny (Steven)
Strike (Mark)
Voodoo Chile (Jack)

One more spot for the featherweight and middleweight competitions

Sorry I forgot to tell you this in the beginning, but your vapourbots have to come from somewhere. Real robots have to come from where they really do

And another thing I forgot (I feel like an idiot now) was the special events

World Championships (6)
Annihilator (6)
All Stars (At the end of the series, I'll pick the top six)

So sorry for those little things I missed, take your time please :)

Hmm... For the side events, depends on whether or not you can use robots not from the main competition.

Negativity comes from Texas, USA.

If you can, I'll have Revenge of the Prayer Shawl for the World Championship, representing Israel, and American Oil in the annihilator.

If you can't, then I won't enter those 2 side events.

Mark: You kinda answered the question yourself - because it has been replaced with Exertion. ForcePower Turbo hasn€™t been active for about five years now. Exertion is almost 20 months old itself which is why I haven€™t used it for a while.

Elliot: As much as I like your new names, it€™s Ge5orce and The Unamed Feeling. :proud: All my vapourbots will represent Bourne in Lincolnshire and I think Firestorm is from Durham. For the World Championships and Annihilator, are we allowed to choose a vapourbot/real bot to enter? And if so, does it have to be one of those in the main competition?

Question: Why did you replace ForcePower Turbo, if it was able to do the difficult task of ramming another robot OOTA.

AJ, I knew about the spelling mistakes and I'm sorry

I was preferring you'd use robots from the main event to enter the side events, but it doesn't matter

Put Tsunami down for the World Championship (Representing Germany, of course) and Traffic Warden down for the Annihilator please, Elliot. :D

In regards to towns/countries to represent, you can find them under people's profile info (I, for instance, would represent Glasgow). For real robots, you can always look up their fights on YouTube and listen to their introductions.

EDIT: You are Elliot. ELLIOT. Not Lewis.

Unless... :wink:

My name is Elliot, Steven :proud:

typhoon: i think it comes from Edinburgh...but il check

o.i.d: comes from richmond upon thames

can i have typhoon for the world champs (representing Scotland, which is good cos a: im Scottish and b: typhoon is Scottish :) ) and o.i.d for the annihilator please

jack

There's still a spot in the otherweights that one more person can fill

Annihilator

OID (Jack)
Traffic Warden (Steven)
American Oil (Mark)

World Championships

Typhoon II/Scotland (Jack)
Tsunami/Germany (Steven)
Revenge of the Prayer Shawl/Israel (Mark)

There are three spots in the above left, and one more spot in the FW and MW classes

Also, I just want the location of your vapourbot. I can find where the real robots come from myself, guys :)

I'll enter skink in the feathers, maxus in the middles, CrOoKeD EvO in the annihilator and terrorhurtz in the world champs

Regards

Harry

Ooh, more spots open?

Super Gore Septua for the Annihilator, and Iron Awe 5 (realie) for the World Championships, representing...the U.K. :P Stats where they usually are.

Thanks guys. All main events are closed, but there remains one more spot in the Annihilator/World Championships

Annihilator

American Oil (Mark)
CroOked Evo (Harry)
Super Gore Septua (Kody)
OID (Jack)
Traffic Warden (Steven)

World Championships

Revenge of the Prayer Shawl/Israel (Mark)
Tsunami/Germany (Steven)
Iron Awe 5/England (Kody)
Typhoon II/Scotland (Jack)
Terrorhurtz/Czech Republic (Harry)

Mark, I need stats for American Oil and Prayer Shawl

Harry, I assume Terrorhurtz will be represting Czech Republic?

Kody, is it OK if Iron Awe 5 represents England? Since Typhoon is representing Scotland, and they are all part of the UK... :)

See you tonight with the lineup for the main events, if possible

Gravity VS X-Terminator
Tsunami VS Macuff the 4th

Heat 3

CroOked Evo VS Firestorm V
Traffic Warden VS Pickaxe of Doom

Heat 4

OID VS Tornado
Surgeon General VS Ge5orce

I still need someone to enter the Annihilator and World Championships. And Mark, I need stats for Revenge of the Prayer Shawl and American Oil. Are they on ZED?

Tactics and predictions are welcome, guys

Mark, I can find the stats on ZED

Martijn, I assume you're represnting Holland

Tsunami vs. Macduff the 4th

Pfft. I like Tsunami, but in this match it's just another flipper. And it won't do much, namely because flipping me does nothing, and I'm pretty much unstackable. I'll keep the hinged forks on for this fight, since they can easily get under wedges. Basically just ram him around into anything in the way.

Surgeon General vs. Ge5orce

Dangit. Oh well, it's not like Ge5orce can much to me anyway, me being invertible and hard to flip when spinning and all. Stay in the middle of the arena and attack his wheel pods, or his flipper if he's gutsy enough to open it in front of me and I somehow evade it.

g'luck peeps

Still need that last place in the Annihilator/World Championships filled

Mark, I think Prayer Shawl is overweight (150kg). Can you try and sort it, please?

More tactics and predictions welcome. I hope to start tonight :)

Actually, Elliot, my stats are all here: http://teamcorsairbots.proboards.com...gi?board=stats

Mark, I've checked your stats and both American Oil and Revenge of the Prayer Shawl are overweight. Can you try and slim them down, please?

Theres still one more spot in the Annihilator, and one more in the World Championships. I need one person to enter a robot into each

Strengths: Powerful Flipper, Great Pusher, Always Reliable
Weaknesses: Limited to 38 flips
Notes: Possibly the first time I built a NON-SPINNER? :lame:

Whiplash

Strengths: PSYCHOTIC AXE AND PUSHING POWER
Weaknesses: NONE AT ALL! (Except for Limited Co2 )
Additional Notes: The first robot to win a tournament :rofl:

Was actually looking for someone who entered the main tournament, Sam, but you'll do at this time :)

All spaces are filled. The next thing I need is mail sacks full of tactics and predictions before I can begin :proud:

Well, hoorah!

I'll hand in my tactics closer to my fights, but I'm going to pick Liar 2 and Typhoon 2 to flip and rip their way into the Heat Final. 8)

Both bots have been slimmed down, although American Oil had its stats checked out by AJ.

Thanks, Mark, I'll have a look after

I still need more tactics and predictions, guys :)

The first heat is starting tonight without interferance, so any last tactics for Heat A need getting in quick :)

typhoon: get 'em from the sides, rip him up, immobilize him (co2 tank = jackpot!), job done :)
