Dinowarrior Destruction

[andrewj]

It was meant to be a secret

[dinowarrior]

Good news guys. Im already planning the next two battles. I dont know when they will go up, but my exams end this week, so they should be up by then.

[dinowarrior]

My exams are OVER! HOORAY! And you know what that means? Thats right! MORE DINOWARRIOR DESTRUCTION!

Today, we have 3 more brave/foolish robots hoping to become the ULTIMATE champion. Who will win, I ask myself?

Only one way to find out!

BATTLE 1

The first robot to enter the ring in this fight is CRUSHA, a Kan Opener clone, some may say. But what a robot TO clone. This robot has a massive set of horizontal claws, hard armour and a low ground clearance. The weapon is good, but the wheels are exposed, and in the deadly world of DD, that isnt good!

Ive got a question for you. Can you say Crazy? Well, the next robot to enter certainly cant! This is RIPPER ROO, a crazy but nasty customer. Named after a character from Crash Bandicoot, this cylindrical full body spinner is itching to do some damage, and it ISNT to be taken lightly. Its invertable, but once again, the tyres can be hit.

And finally into the ring is a nasty looking bot named SLAYING MANTIS E, who happens to be a tournament champion himself. This robot is very Razer-equse, with a nasty crushing claw, with added srimech. The design of the claw makes it almost impossible for an oppodent to escape. But, whilst 6 seconds doesnt SEEM like a long time, it is for a srimech to work.

ROBOTEERS STAND BY!

House Robots are Fluffitor and Smudge RV

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

And, off the threesome go. I heard rumours of Crusha and Ripper Roo teaming up on Slaying Mantis E. Well, at the moment, Slaying Mantis E is heading in the direction of Crusha with Ripper Roo nowhere in sight. Crusha looks worried, but he has to stay away from that evil claw. Crusha goes up the wedge, but escapes before the claw can be brought down. If youre wondering about the spikes along the body of Slaying Mantis E, theyre to keep it from getting stuck on its side. Still no involvment from Ripper Roo, hes spinning wildly, like his CB counterpart, but not moving. Crusha meanwhile dodges round the back of Slaying Mantis E and crushes in. The armour of Slaying Mantis E is 3mm titanium and aluminium alloy, but it is at the mercy of Crusha. He has it grabbed like Kan Opener has had so many times. NOW Ripper Roo is moving, as Crusha turns Slaying Mantis E slowly towards the spinning bot. BAMM! Ripper Roo hits Slaying Mantis E with a Tremendous CRASH!!! That is going to hurt in the morning. Crusha turns the Slaying Mantis again, as Ripper Roo now hits the side! CRASH! The force sends both Crusha and Slaying Mantis E towards the CPZ. In comes Smudge RV, slamming the two into the wall. Smudge RV travels at 45mph. NOTHING is faster across the arena. And he picks the two and carries them outwards. Still, Crusha is locked with Slaying Mantis E. Can they actually let go? Ripper Roo goes for ANOTHER HIT! Are there bits falling off? Maybe not, but it is close to doing so. The pit release has been activated by Smudge RV. Crusha is bringing a limp Slaying Mantis E towards the pit. It hovers...but it wont drop! Crusha CANT let go! What does it do now? HAH HAH! It drives in WITH Slaying Mantis E. Tom B is celebrating. He knows that since Slaying Mantis hit the deck first, he will survive.

CEASE!

CRUSHA AND RIPPER ROO GO THROUGH!

[matty_haka]

One word. Lovely!

[tom_b]

YES!! Through to Round 2, cant wait to see the draw for that?

[dinowarrior]

You wont have long to wait Tommy B. The next round, plus Sumo if Im feeling good, will be up this weekend.

[dinowarrior]

BATTLE 2

First into the ring of doom and destruction, the kind we (I at any rate) like on Dinowarrior Destruction, is HURRICANE, looking to kick some robot butt. This invertable wedge shape is all about power. Its not pretty, but it does the job. It also has a spinning flail that can cause some damage. A nervous driver could let it down though.

Next to enter is RETURN OF ROADBLOCK. No, this ISNT the real Roadblock, its just a seriously updated carbon copy. 20 kilos of its 99.9 weight is that powerful rear cutter, and it also has a powerful flipper to right the robot if it gets flipped over. Its shape is bulky, and OOTAs are virtually impossible, but it is a dated design.

Finally is the first real robot to enter the clash, STORM 2. This robot is the reigning world champion, after beating Hollands Tough as Nails, and Sri Lankas Supernova. It also came second in RW7, beating Grim Reaper, Firestorm 5 and Tornado, before losing to Typhoon 2. It is all about push, but it also has a lifting arm of some power. Control is an issue though.

ROBOTEERS STAND BY

In the arena are Cholera and Die-Ro

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

We have two pushers and a flipper. Which way will this go? Well, dont ask me! Im just the commentary! Anyways, Storm 2 goes straight for Return of Roadblock. I wouldnt recommend it though, as I heard that ROR and Hurricane are going to team up against you. Hurricane comes in round the back and brings in its own power push! It simply RAMS into Storm 2, but Storm 2 cant be held onto for long. ROR hits Storm 2, but there is no real damage, Storm 2 is built like a brick. No, it ISNT made of bricks! Its a figure of speech. Storm 2 tries to pick off the weak link, and despiratly! ROR hits the pit release, hoping to get Storm 2 in the pit. Hurricane pushes Storm 2 towards Die-Ro, but, sadly for Hurricane and the dragon based House Robot, there is nothing of Storm 2 that is flammable. Storm 2 gets away, crashes into Return of Roadblock. Storm is looking weak so far...OH, AND STORM 2 HAS PITTED RETURN OF ROADBLOCK! Well, you can have all the weapons in the world, you can have the best laid plans, you can team up, but sometimes it just DOESNT work! Oh dear.

CEASE!

STORM 2 AND HURRICANE GO THROUGH!

Round 2 line-up

Storm 2 vs Ripper Roo
Crusha vs Hurricane

[matty_haka]

Tactics: Stay in the centre of the arena, and keep hitting them. Its an FBS, and we know how Storm 2 doesnt lile those....

[dinowarrior]

One sumo clash+Two round 2 clashes coming up

Our Sumo challenger against Jakamoko 2 is Clawdius Decimus Murderous, or CDM for short, This wedge shape with a box/wedge back is finelly tuned for pushing. Its claw will not be much use here, but the front wedge probably will be.

ROBOTEERS STAND BY

Jakamoko 2 is waiting CDM

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

Off goes CDM towards the left of its armadillo opposition. Jakamoko isnt quick, but he is persistant. CDM gets round the side of Jakamoko and pushes. Jakamoko is heavy, and hard to push. Jakamoko is nearing the edge, but Jakamoko gets away from CDMs push. Back comes Jakamoko, and gets round the side. The two clearances clash. Jakamoko makes a charge...OH, And lifts the skirts! How rude! No escape now, surely! And Jakamoko 2 has pushed CDM off the platform. What a sad end.

The time has come in. That was...34.50 seconds.

Well done CDM, but there are many more where that came from.

Now for some round 2 matchs.

Crusha vs Hurricane
Ripper Roo vs Storm 2


CRUSHA VS HURRICANE

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY

House Robots are Smudge RV and Dreadlocks Revenge

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!!!

Hurricane starts first, slowly, but will go faster, can actually get up to 40 miles per hour, but the team rarely take it above 20. Its faster than Crusha. Crusha comes in, but Hurricane gets away. Crusha comes in...AND MAKES A GRAB!!! Hurricane, you do NOT want to be in there! Thats suicide! Crusha can puncture...err, hang on...no it cant. The armour of Hurricane is just too tough. Im starting to sense something here. Hurricane is now using superior traction to drive Crusha where he wants it to go. In this case, into the pit release button. Down goes the pit. But Hurricane, not wanting a short fight, pushes Crusha into the crusha-ing jaws of Dreadlocks Revenge. The jaws may not be able to cut through hardox, but it can crush down on Titanium! There are some nasty holes in the armour of Crusha. Theres smoke coming out. Hurricane turns and guides Crusha towards the pit. It isnt going to last long...and Crusha is dangled over the pit. Its just hanging there! After a few seconds, Crusha finally gives up...and lets go!

CEASE!!!

HURRICANE GOES THROUGH!!!


RIPPER ROO VS STORM 2

ROBOTEERS STAND BY

House Robots this time are Die-ro and Irritator

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!!!

Ripper Roo needs to spin up before it can attack. Storm 2 knows this, and comes straight onto the attack! BANG!!! Storm 2 hits Ripper Roo and sends it spinning wildly! Well, thats what Ripper Roo is supposed to do, right? Anyways, Ripper Roo tries to get to a corner, but Storm 2 rams it in there. However, both robots are in a CPZ! In comes the dino-bot Irritator! He has two robots to toy with, but on this occasion, he grabs the open lifting arm of Storm 2, and he clamps on, his chisel scratching the surface, nothing more. Ripper Roo escapes, but not before Die-ro comes in and burns the burnt orange paintwork some more! (I thought Ripper Roo was blue) Storm 2 finally escapes, but there is a major problem: Ripper Roo is now spinning at full throttle! Ripper Roo moves towards Storm 2, and the two COLLIDE! BANG!!! STORM 2 IS FLUNG ASIDE! Is there any damage? Well, maybe mental, but what about physical. OUCH! RIPPER ROO HITS AGAIN! Storm 2 is flung away AGAIN! Ripper Roo hits the pit release, where is Storm 2? Oh, now he rams Ripper Roo, gets underneath, but he is close to the pit! Ripper Roo spins slightly and HES KNOCKED STORM 2 INTO THE PIT!!!

CEASE!!!

RIPPER ROO GOES THROUGH!!!
