Velociraptor's Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Woah... whos more manouvreable Aaron?

I really duno.

Cause I wnat your front, and youre using your back:P

[andrewj]

Ive suddenly had a brain wave!

Fit skirts to the sides and back and use the lifting forks to lift and pit NSBFR-X. I can still use the rear skirt as a wedge should I need to. This is going to be hillarious.

lol, I dont know. This would have to be the first time MOAB 2 has had to use its ass to attack an opponent, kinda wierd

[pcbore]

If thats the case, Ill remove the lifting plate wedge, fit the nice invertable pincers and go TAN on his arse

[velociraptor]

Yes, its an update, finally! Very very sorry for keeping you all waiting - had some writers block.

Two more battles, and the grand final lineup is complete! First, WX 6.0 (with skirts and lifting forks) against NSBFR-X (with pincers)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Its superior speed allowed NSBFR-X to reach WX 6.0 first, but WX 6.0 used its skid steering to dodge the attack of the pincers and end up parallel to its opponent! Rather than try struggling to get to the side, NSBFR-X swerved in reverse, and did a quick move to capture WX 6.0 as it tried to run! Now clamped onto a rear corner of the second seed, NSBFR-X tried to drag it, but both robots had equal pushing power, so with both straining on the arena floor, it looked like the plan was going nowhere! Finally, Frank released the pincers grip - WX 6.0 skidded around, only to expose itself to the pincers side on, and NSBFR-X was fast enough to take advantage, again trapping its opponent in a vice-like grip! Now side on, NSBFR-X was able to push WX 6.0, although it was still a struggle as WX 6.0 fought back! Slowly, they made their way towards the spinning arena disc - WX 6.0 ended up taking a nasty blow along its side, and NSBFR-X was nicked in the rear as they spun away! Next, the tenth seed began fighting to bring its victim towards the pit release - it was a bit difficult, but eventually it got within reach and hit the release with its rear! Finally, it fought to get WX 6.0 over the open pit, and did so, opening the pincers and dropping the second seed out of sight!
CEASE!

NSBFR-X GOES THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINAL!

Finally, Hypertension Mk2 against Mother Of All Bricks 2!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
As Mother Of All Bricks 2 turned around to use its rear skirt, Hypertension Mk2 came crashing into its side in a 22mph charge! Unfortunately, there was no hope for the prongs to get under the skirts, but after giving MOAB2 a bit of a push, Hypertension swerved off to aim for the front! MOAB2 turned itself around to try and get the skirt in, but Hypertension brought itself into the front corner! MOAB2 pushed and successfully sent Hypertension Mk2 backwards, but the prongs still went under the drill and flipped! MOAB2 was sent up, and over! Hypertension Mk2 chased it, but MOAB2 had recovered quickly enough to attack the 24th seeds side with its rear skirt, and give it a good 128HP shove, into the north wall! With a push, the lower skirt of MOAB2 came underneath, and it turned Hypertension Mk2 around for a ram into the arena disc on the other side of the arena! The force of the charge and disc sent Hypertension flying over the unseeded robot and landing with a bump! MOAB2 charged mercilessly with its skirt, but Hypertension came to intercept it, blocking it against the wall and managing to reach the drill, so it could flip MOAB2 from underneath it again! With a reverse, Hypertension Mk2 was able to position itself so MOAB2 landed on top of it! Its next move was a run towards the pit release - MOAB2 almost fell off as they went, but Hypertension was able to capture it, get it on the flipper and shove it in forward gear! Once the pit was open, Mother Of All Bricks 2 was ushered toward it. Stopping short, Hypertension Mk2 fired its flipper and Mother Of All Bricks 2 went up, across, knocked against the wall and went down! Hypertension Mk2 did a quick victory dance, then threw itself down the pit for a larf!
CEASE!

HYPERTENSION MK2 GOES THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINAL!

So the VFT6 grand finalists have been decided:
*HYPERTENSION MK2, entered by Matty Fowler, who beat Tazbot, TIRTASM, No Close Shave 2, Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1, Dervish V/ and Mother Of All Bricks 2!
*NSBFR-X, entered by Frank Goacher, who beat Forklifts Revenge, Hassocks Hog 2, Sonic Boom, Black Chalkie Beard, Stratosfear and WX 6.0!

Here is the Grand Final lineup:
NSBFR-X (10) vs Storm 2
Hypertension Mk2 (24) vs Wedge Devolution (27)

But before we get on with the grand final, were going to have some more unofficial fun with the Special Events! The Football, Challenge Belt and All Stars will be coming up soon, but before those is the Annihilator! We will have six Mayhems, and the winner of each Mayhem will go through to fight in the Annihilator! Lets remind you what those Mayhems are:

Geforce vs Killotine Evo vs Surgeon General
B.A.Der vs Disco Dancer 2.5 vs Forklifts Revenge
Hypertension Mk2 vs Push-Ish vs Squish
Panic 3 GTI 2 vs Sonic Boom vs Whirligig 4.0
Black Chalkie Beard vs Dieceratops Invertus vs Hacked Off Ha-Ka
The Disc 4 vs Psyclone vs Wrecktangle

Im planning to do the Mayhems three at a time, then the Annihilator round by round.

[steven_mcg]

Rich hath returned, baby! Wootiful stuff as ever (despite a potentially rigged Finale draw )!

MAYHEMS
1) GeForce VS KILLOTINE: EVO VS Surgeon General
I believe Andy and I made a little pact on this a long while ago. The plan here is to hammer Surgeon General into a pepperpot (maybe getting a few blows in on the exposed wheels) and then grappling GeForce from the sides before dragging it to the Pit

2) Panic 3 GTI VS Sonic Boom VS WHIRLIGIG 4.0
Spin. Hit things. Make them die.

Forklift, Push-Ish, Ha-ka and Psyclone are my picks for the other duels and my Finale tactics will be up once all the side stuff has past

[pcbore]

BADer will keep on the move and shove the others around. My high GC is a problem in this fight, but my invertability and high speed should help counter it. Maybe team up with one of the others, they open the pit and I dump the other in?

The Disc 4 will go for Psyclone first. Im pretty sure that thanks to his shape, his srimech wont work as intended, so hell struggle self righting. Going disc to shell will kind of stalemate in the damage stakes. He might be made of Hardox, and my disc might be aluminium, but its about 3 CMs of Ali IIRC. Try damaging that :P

The the other melees, Im predicting Geforce, Hypertension, Whirly and BCB.

[mrdaves]

I wont practise my new style of giving tactics here because they dont work that well with british style tournies.

I have no idea what the robots are like but meh.
Melee 2
So Im against a robot with underpowered motors

2 APC Back-Up batteries at 24V powering 2 LEM- 2X2€™s producing a whopping 58BHp

48 volts isnt going to power 60 volt motors, so thats one robot sorted out because it cant move. Squish as we all know has the same problem with the crusher, so it will be a case of ram underneath and put onto its side.

Melee 5
Spilt up and bully the robots around the place.

[knightrous]

Actually, you can run the 60v motors on 48v, but they will be savagely under powered. A 24v motor run on 12v is 1/4 the power compared to running on 24v.

[matty_haka]

*Rolls eyes at Dave*

Hypertensions Mk. 2. I will aid Dave in getting Squish over, just ramming it around until I can flip it and until the crusher breaks :wink:

For Hacked off Ha-ka, my aim will be to pin one of the 2 BCB twins down with the axe and dispose, at which point ganging up with DCI to get rid of the other one. After that Ill get at DCIs hweels to finish him off.
