Tactics
Heat 1

Ill stay away from the front of these machines as they have powerful flippers, so Ill slam em about till 1 of them dies.

Ripper Roo vs Slaying Mantis E vs Crusha (me)
Ill grapple hold of Slaying Mantis & team up with Ripper Roo, get the pit open & well, can you work out my tactics from that?

Daves tactics.

HEAT 2
Hurricane (me) vs Storm 2 vs Return of Roadblock

I like Storm 2, I can out-push Storm 2 (Tanto vs Storm 2, 1 live event). Idea will be to out-turn the world champion, as it isnt the best to control or turn, and get it from the sides, once underneath with the wedge, ram towards pit. Storm 2 is a great robot, so I wont mind going out against it.

Heat 3 -
Chameleon vs ALVD(me) vs Big Nipper

Steve, want to gang up on Big Nipper. Aim to hit it once the disc has spun up and flip it around, if I hit the sides, I will hopefully bent the armour in and jam up the wheels, then let the interchangleable Chameleon finish one of my favourite robots.

HEAT 4
Hole in the Armour vs Chalkie (me) vs Barbaric Response

I am lower than Hole in the Armours weapon, tactic will be to ram underneath that 3 cm ground clearance and lift it onto the 80 cm high sides, allowing Barbaric Response to come in and flip the lightweight out of the arena.

HEAT 5

WAFT (me) vs Jack the Slammer vs Ramthrax

Chris, can you just call it WAFT, thanks. Aim to get around the sides of Jack the Slammer and crush into the body, Ramthrax is Hardox, so I cant do anything to it, with this pressure.

HEAT 6

TaoLin 3 vs Killotine EVO vs The Wedge (me)
I have a feeling that TaoLin 3 will knock itself out if it hits something strong like Killy. Its width means that turning will be a nightmare for it, allowing me with the wheel guards, and the solid spiked indoor go-kart wheels. I will drive into the drum, scooping underneath it and flip it upwards with the backward hinged flipper. Steve want to gang up?

HEAT 8

Disco Dancer vs Destruction vs Wedgie 3d (me)

1 - Destruction cant move with 0 ground clearance
2 - Skirts as sri-mechs?
3 - Ram into the front, with the flipper extension, getting underneath the rear skirt, and flip it, looking at the stats, it has a high centre of gravity. Why the rear, the disc will be pushing down onto me, meaning no damage, but Destruction will lift up, allowing a quick flip in and onto the sides it goes, skirts cant self-right, and if it tries to self right, Matt will ram in and destroy the weak armoured robot.

Sumo -

Once underneath the front scoop, ram out of the ring.

ANNIHILATOR -
I will in general try to stay out of the main fighting until I need too. This allows me to pick off Montys Pass and ram it sideways into the side wall, getting underneath and slicing the tyres with my annoying flail and pitting it.

Tag Team -
Wheel Guards, Forward hindged flipper, Solid indoor go-kart wheels. Matt, I will go out first and seeing as Disco Dancer is fast, it will find it hard to turn, allowing the slower, more accelerating robot in to ram it sideways flipping it out of the arena.

Ok everybody, good news. Assuming I dont keel over and die, I will be able to start this tomorrow.

**dinowarrior** · 15th May 2004, 14:40

First things first, Im not feeling very well today. But I promised you Id start this today, and I will.

WELCOME TO DINOWARRIOR DESTRUCTION!

This is the new breed of tournament. The robots here are allowed to be more destructive and more brutal than EVER before. Why? Because I dont mind these sorts of things, thats why!

Anyways, LET THE WARS BEGIN!

We have 2 melees, with 3 robots in. Here is the first one.

First robot into the ring is Ankle Biter. This low black and purple wedge is here to make his mark on the opposition. Its weapons are a flipping arm and a 10 kilo spinning disc. It has a problem with traction though

Next is RPS XPN1, a mutant nightmare of a monster. This Mega Morg shaped robot has a scoop, axe and a scissors weapon, all for maximum destruction. It has hard armour, but again, limited traction.

And finally in the ring is the crazy Angel of the Abyss. Circular in shape, this walking robot is your classic full bodied spinner, with teeth, complete with srimech. It has terrible pushing power though.

As per usual we have two House Robots per fight.

House Robots are Dreadlocks Revenge and Cholera

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

And the first EVER battle of the Dinowarrior Destruction tournament is off and underway. Angel of the Abyss starts spinning immediatly. Its double layered, each rim spins at a different speed. Elsewhere, Ankle Biter is taking on RPS. Is that wise I ask myself? NO, ITS NOT! As straight away, RPS gives Ankle Biter an enourmous WHACK with its axe. It can get a dent in hard titanium, what can it NOT do to the aluminium alloy shell I ask. Well, its making a massive scar or two. In comes AotA, moving in towards Ankle Biter...OUCH! TEARING INTO THE FLESH OF ANKLE BITER! MASSIVE MARKS ARE COVERING ANKLE BITER! In comes RPS, pushing Ankle Biter towards the CPZ, waiting there is Cholera. What a deadly robot to come up against, as the blue Big Nipper clone picks up the struggling Ankle Biter. Meanwhile, AotA has pressed the pit release button (pressed? He tore it off!) and Cholera brings Ankle Biter back towards the centre of the ring. Finally, RPS pushes Ankle Biter forwards...into the pit.

RPS AND ANGEL OF THE ABYSS GO THROUGH

Ill probably be able to write one or two battles per day, but I do have a lot of exams coming up. Rest assured, they will get done.
