S***!! I forgot about Round 2 tactics. Oh well, btw, Chris, if the next fights are on in the next 2 weeks, you decide the fate of my machines but my tactics for Heat C Round 1 with Montys Pass (if Alex wants to, but I mightve forgotten if we did agree to this), is that Ill team up with Tengu 6 & well destroy El Persistance

Actually, Im changing the heat line-up round, like they swapped A and E with Series 7. Im only doing this because Chameleon is in the next heat, and Steven will need to tell me what he wants to do, and hes on holiday too.

I dont see why not to team up, no point rejecting lessening the odds.

Ripper Roo is dangerous, and mustnt be yet to spin up.

I am assuming you are using the robot wars 7 arena here (as I forgotten), so the robots start head-on. This will be a case of trying to get over to the vapourbot before it can run away to get the spinning ring upto speed, then ram into it at full speed, hitting it backwards, and box-rushing it into the pit or into the house robots.

I will get the bin-bages ready, as I am not predicting a good fight for me here.

The arena is the series 7 one. The whole tournament is based along series 7. The only difference are the house robots.

Thanks.

Its because of the various arenas currently floating about. Wait till VCL 04, the knockout stage, the arenas will be interesting.

Right, me and Dave are talking, and weve agreed the same thing, though I hope hell come on to confirm this.

We want a clean fair fight, so if either of us is dead, we plan on pushing it in the pit, and neither of us will allow the HRs to intervene, trying to keep them away.

Now, tactics.

The rule of spinning weapons is that a powerful spiunning weapon will turn both machines around. I do not want to drive up onto the flail, so Ill not attack the front, or the back, I will concentrate on the sides.

The idea will be to hit them, get the weapon back up from whatever speed its lost and hit their side again, doing this repeatedly. They have bad manouvreability due yo too much traction and this means that outmanouvreing them should be easy. If I do go on the wedge, Ill just drive straight up and over it with the tyres as even if we go over, were invertible. The overall result Im hoping for, is that if I focus on the sides, after killing the attachments, Ill be able to get to the drive chain, as the aluminium should rip straight away, and repeated attacks will do the titanium in nicely.
