ah nuts
predictions
Wedge Devo to flip Psyclone over, damaging the self-righter before pitting it
Storm 2 hasnt got the power but it has the control and I think the control factor will play its part and pit Monsoon.
Predictions
Psyclone and Storm 2 to win.
Why is the VFT always so hard on my machines, lol
Excellent fights, but Id be disappointed if they werent
Manic Monsoon to give Storm 2 its own treatment, and if Wedge Devo could get hold of Tempest, it shouldnt have a problem with Psyclone. Wedge Devo through.
Richard, I know your doing a-levels as well, so its worth sharing this website I found to check out the exam time-table:
http://www.modernisationonline.org.uk/comptimetable/http://www.modernisationonline.org.uk/comptimetable/
These would have been up yesterday, but my connection didnt work for some reason. Its on again now, so here they are!
Two of the four places in the grand final are about to be filled! Will Manic Monsoon or Storm 2 fill the first one?
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Manic Monsoon rushed into the centre and turned to get under Storm 2s side, but Storm 2 was coming in straight to hit MMs front, so hit MMs side instead! Shoving desperately against MMs skirts, it struggled to get under but did manage to shove Manic Monsoon round in a circle, slowly spiralling towards the walls! But before they could reach the walls, the third seed slipped out of Storm 2s grasp and acclerated away! The very speedy Storm 2 soon caught up, and as MM turned, the corners of their wedges hit one another and they bounced off! The next collision was head on, and in a few seconds, it was Manic Monsoon who won out with its power and low wedge, scraping Storm 2 into the west wall, getting its wedge under and lifting the RW world champ into the air! Storm 2 found itself with its back against the wall - as MM backed off to admire its handiwork, Storm 2 activated its arm and began falling back down, only to end up on top of Manic Monsoon, who had acclerated towards it quickly! Storm 2 quickly ran off, as MM began trying to use its arm to overturn it, and failed!
Storm 2s next move was to aim for Manic Monsoons unskirted rear, but the third seed turned so the unseeded robot went into its rear corner! There was another struggle as both robots turned around, but then Storm 2 brought its arm into play, and lifted MM long enough for it to get itself in the right position, and underneath the fellow rammer! Without further delay, Storm 2 turned around and carried its victim towards the pit release, tilting it a little as they hit the corner! There was no escape for the former bronze medallist, as it received poetic justice - having dumped so many robots in the pit in its career, it was now sent that way itself by Storm 2!
CEASE!
STORM 2 GOES THROUGH TO THE FINALS!
Another tough battle coming up - Psyclone and Wedge Devolution!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Psyclone began spinning quickly and wisely moved away from the initial attack of Wedge Devolution - it ended up with Wedge next to it, and before the 27th seed could do anything, Psyclone whacked it along the side! With its rear facing Psyclone, Wedge Devo tried to ram, but it was spun off course again, and on low power Psyclone began spinning again too fast! Wedge Devolution gave Psyclone another backend ram, with the same result! Now deciding to use its flipper, Wedge turned around and ran at Psyclone with its wedge, and when they came together, the teeth met the wedge before the wedge could flip, resulting in Wedge Devolution spinning off with its flipper open, and Psyclone being tilted a little but stabilising perfectly! Its flipper still functioning, Wedge ran straight back at Psyclone, this time flipping sooner, while its bent blade was under the teeth! It was spun off again but performed a more stylish flip, with Psyclone almost flipping straight onto its back! But its teeth hit the floor and it bounced, rolled and came down inverted! Wedge Devolution rushed to take advantage, but the srimech of the 17th seed worked perfectly, and it ran away as Wedge approached! But Wedge Devolution was close enough to get in another flip just as the spinner started again, and getting its bent blade under the teeth again, it flipped Psyclone like a pancake!
Wedge Devolution reversed into the pit release, but Psyclone selfrighted too quickly and made itself scarce, spinning again! Wedge Devo came to bring it to the pit, but mistimed its flip and got another scratch in the Hardox for its troubles! Having spun Wedge into the wall, Psyclone could strike it in the rear and knock it towards the arena disc! Unfortunately, it turned Wedges front towards it, and found itself being flipped from under the teeth again! Wedge Devolution charged to pit Psyclone before time ran out, but when Psyclone selfrighted, it did so off the wedge! Wedge Devolution was able to move quickly to catch it, but before it could get it in the pit, the hole closed! Not to worry - Wedge Devolution escorted Psyclone to the pit release, flipping it against it! Psyclones srimech didnt take it out of trouble this time, as Wedge Devolution took no chances and rather than flip it into the black hole, just shoved it down!
CEASE!
WEDGE DEVOLUTION GOES THROUGH TO THE FINALS!
Next time on VFT6, its the second semifinal!
WX 6.0 must beat The Ultimate Wedge to have any chance of a gold medal!
NSBFR-X will try to avoid being sent into the stratosphere by Stratosfear!
Dervish V/ and Hypertension Mk2 are both hungry for robot blood!
And Firestorm V will try to burn out Mother Of All Bricks 2!
I thought Wedge Devolution would be able to flip Psyclone as its blade is flat at the front and it could get that under the teeth before they hit the wedge. If you feel Im wrong, AJ, please explain why. (Im not saying that in an aggressive way - I could well be wrong somehow.)
See the archive through the 16th for my tactics
Wooty fights Mr. Southworth.
Lets hope I can noe get Hypo somewhere
Nope, you are right, the blade would have gone under the teeth. But what I€™m still not sure about is when it flipped, would the teeth have caught the flipper and caused it some damage? Oh well, time to go and work on Psyclonic€¦
WX 6.0 (2) vs. The Ultimate Wedge
I don€™t know what the difference in power is between the LEM130€™s and LEM200€™s but I presume it€™s quite a bit. The only thing I can think of doing is to put the scoop on and the skirts on the other sides. The skirts should hopefully prevent The Ultimate Wedge getting under so it cannot ram or flip. I€™ll use the scoop hoping it will give me the heavier front end and therefore a better chance of getting under if it€™s a head to head ram.
AWOOHOO!
SEMI-FINAL 2
ROUND 1
1) The Ultimate Wedge VS W.X. 6.0 (2)
Pretty close throughout, but Ive got a sneaky feeling a repeat of their PTT4 clash could occur...(I know it was TIRTASM then, but what the hey? Theyre both virtually the same)
2) N.S.B.F.R. X (10) VS StratosFear
Close again...either Stratos to win a JD or Franky to get a successful pitting
3) Dervish // (22) VS Hypertension Mk 2 (24)
Hypertension to use its superior traction and dunk Dervish down the hole
4) Firestorm 5 VS Mother of All Bricks 2
MOAB. Moving on...
As I need an invertable weapon, NSBFR X will fit the spinning bar and go for Stratos-Fears sides. Due to his WBC-esque shape and (nmore importantly) length, Ive got by far the better manouverability here, as if I can get in a good shunt from the side hell be pretty much powerless counter attacking wise, kinda like Tornado vs WBC in series 4. Weve both got the same kinda speeds and acceleration, so Ill be relying on my agility to keep out of the flippers reach and keep pushing. If he gets away from the push, Ill spin up the bar before going in for another slam. Hopefully I can get him down the pit, and at least I cant go OOTA.
As for Firestorm vs MOAB 2, this is why I really hate being drawn up against Aaron. Thanks to lack of detail to do with shape, amount of skirts and GC I have to make guesses which he later comes in and says are wrong. So anyway, here are my doubtless wrong guesses:
Shape: Box-esque.
GC: Reasonable
Skirts: No front skirt. It probably wouldnt move if he had one. Anyway, IIRC Aaron removed these in PTT4 because they made MOAB overweight.
Tactics are to try and get under the front. That drill isnt going to do anything more than total the paint job seeing it was only added for the static weapon rule, so stack it ASAP, or try and pit it.
